Summary: great little film
Comment: I too was captured by this film for some reason. I saw it recently while on a trip in Sweden (it was one of the few shows on television that I could understand!)
The story of Cheebee stole my heart. It's a perfect underdog tale where even the smallest creature can survive with a little help from friends and an amazing amount of courage. Go Cheebee!

Summary: Completely adorable!
Comment: Heartwarming, insightful, and unbelievably funny, a Little Duck is a one hour documentary geared toward children that tells the true story of a mother chick and her 13 offspring. In the heart of the industrial section of Tokyo, a Mother duck inhabited a man made pond. For the next few weeks, she raised her little ducklings as the locals became emotionally involved watching them. There are hysterical moments as Tokyo residents go through extreme lengths making sure the ducklings could safely pass through raging traffic. Even the resident policeman is watching out for them. The second half of the documentary deals with darker elements. The ducks enter a larger, and more dangerous pond, and not all of them will make it to the end, (most do). But even in it's darker moments, unexpectedly happy surprises abound. Most of the documentary focuses on the smallest and most timid of the ducklings known as Cheebee. Despite his fears, the duckling grows up, and finally learns to put his fears aside. I think it's wonderful documentary for children and adults alike. I'm a twenty six year old American male, and I love this movie!
