    White's weakest children's book gets a healthy revamping in this straight to video production - Jason Alexander should defintely do more voice work. Swans, Ducks (Duckman!)... poultry is truly his thing.

    Good... even though Louie is a swam, he never give up his hope to have a voice. I saw many ppl give up without trying. we should take lesson from Louie.

An innocuous family feature that's too little/too late in the fast-moving world of feature animation. full review
