Lucky Duck

About This Movie

Lucky Duck, directed by Don Kim, is one of those animated family films that injects a bit of whimsy into the usual toy factory narrative. Here, we follow Lucky, a rubber duck with a bit of spunk voiced by Christian Borle. The plot kicks off when he’s unceremoniously tossed aside due to a factory mishap. There’s a certain charm in the pacing; it moves swiftly, yet allows for some genuine moments of connection. The animation has this soft, almost nostalgic quality, reminiscent of classic children's stories. The themes of resilience and friendship shine through, without being overly preachy, which is refreshing. It's not your typical children's fare, and the voice performances really add a layer of depth that makes it stand out a bit in the crowded field of animated features.

Interesting take on factory life from a toy's perspective. · Great voice work, especially from Christian Borle. · A fresh spin on common family film tropes.
