Many many years ago, when the trees were tall, the old ducks had feathers on their heads, and the Sun shone for everybody alike, on a faraway island there lived a Sun Duck whom protected his flock from evil powers threatening from the outside. The Sun Duck had his loyal guardians who vigilantly supervised the territory and made sure the Sun evenly spread its energy on their flourishing land. The bliss continued until an Evil Witch learned of the Sun Duck’s superpowers and lost her sleep in an attempt to enslave the magic bird. One by one she seized the guardians and stole the Sun Duck away for the only sake every living woman would understand: eternal youth and mesmerizing beauty. Today, nobody believes in old legends, Mandarin ducks peacefully reside on their island and abide by the law that prescribes "no flying on the island!" and "never leave the island!". The Emperor is the only one who knows that the Legend is true and the next generation Sun Duck has been borne. He keeps it in strict secrecy, but the Witch also knows the Legend is true and she is coming back for her next victim. (Paycom Multimedia)

Just because the animation is satisfactory and the movie has a pretty good soundtrack does not necessarily mean you have made a good one. This is especially true when it does not have a very good narrative, and you decide to present the story in a way that there is hardly anything which engages the viewer. Add to that the rather unappealing characters, of which I could only tolerate the main male protagonist and the passionate, romantic policeman, and his dog. No one can be surprised that, in the end, I was not impressed by Quackerz. So, this is a very muddled, poorly presented, and not particularly entertaining movie, even though it may be watchable. 3/10.

I was a bit apprehensive about this film; after all, Russian animated films haven't exactly been known for their high quality so far. But I must say, I was surprised that it's not as bad as I expected. It's not perfect animation, but it suffices for the story's needs, and even though the story is clichéd, it has some good moments or good characters. Slightly above average.
