Sitting Ducks

Sitting Ducks is an animated children’s TV series developed by Cartoon Network, based on the children’s book of the same name by Michael Bedard, which focuses on the unusual friendship between Bill, a small good-natured Duck who longs to fly, and Aldo, a hulking of an alligator who is taunted by his fellow gators for his relationship with the ducks. Their friendship is rather a quiet one in the whimsical town of Ducktown, though the two seemingly are pulled into the high jinks of Bill’s freeloading and scheming neighbors, Ed, Oly, and Waddle. Joining them from time to time in their adventures are Bev, a sweet and pretty owner of the local café, Cecil, Ducktown’s only dentist with Aldo as his only patient, Fred, a sad but hyper penguin, and Drill Sargeant Duck, who tries her hardest to keep Aldo out of Ducktown. Inspired by an honest interpretation of the idiom “sitting ducks”, Sitting Ducks shows how sometimes differences can make a friendship even sweeter. MORE
