Entertainment announced Thursday that it has green-lit a
feature-length version of the popular Queer
Duck animated shorts from Simpsons writer
Mike Reiss. Queer Duck (voiced by out actor Jim J. Bullock)
began as an online character before his animated
adventures were picked up by the Showtime network and
screened in conjunction with Queer as Folk. "Mike
Reiss and his creative team have created a truly funny
story filled with more of the outrageous, shocking
antics that fans of Queer Duck will enjoy," said
Thomas Lesinski, president of Paramount Pictures worldwide
home entertainment, in a statement. "Queer
Duck, an Internet short animated on a home computer,
went on to be named one of the 'Hundred Greatest
Cartoons of All Time' by the BBC," said Reiss. "I'm
delighted Paramount Home Entertainment is taking it to
the next level."
The film will
feature the original cast of Bullock, Kevin Michael
Richardson (as Openly Gator), Maurice LaMarche (as Oscar
Wildcat), and Billy West (as Bi Polar Bear), along
with special guests Conan O'Brien, Andy Dick, Bruce
Vilanch, Tim Curry, Mark Hammill, and David Duchovny (as
"Tiny Jesus"). Queer Duck—The Movie is
set for a 2006 release.
