The clip on the other hand has gone missing. For a long time the clip existed on Youtube, the scene involved a "Jessica Rabbit"-esque character interacting with a live-action male. Not much is known about the dialogue, as there is no source describing what happened in the scene. Stills of the clip and a choppy GIF derived from the Youtube video still exist online though.

The Duck is a 1997 production created by Uli Meyer. The film was a cartoon set in the real world, similar to the film Space Jam, which Uli Meyer had worked on beforehand. The story line involving a scientist making a formula to solve devastation in the world, his pet duck ends up sampling some of the formula, transforming him into a cartoon duck. However the movie never came into production due to funding being pulled last minute by the company signed on with the film. Though, test footage was created as a pitch.

The Production

Online there exist only 2 minutes of the test footage created for the film. As evident by stills released by Uli Meyer himself, there is more to it, as well as an animated clip separate from the test footage itself. The test footage was estimated to be around 4-5 minutes long [1], most likely involving the scenes seen in the released stills.

The released 2 minutes of test footage

The clip on the other hand has gone missing. For a long time the clip existed on YouTube, the scene involved a "Jessica Rabbit"-esque character interacting with a live-action male. Not much is known about the dialogue, as there is no source describing what happened in the scene. Stills of the clip and a choppy GIF derived from the YouTube video still exist online though.

Gallery

Most the gallery features stills released by Uli Meyer himself and concept art found by online users. The concept art, as well as a model of the main character were found online and saved from Uli Meyer's now defunct blogspot.
