Queer Duck (Jim J. Bullock) is an out and proud nurse, but here he finds himself wondering if he wants to be gay in a straight-dominated world. Despite the love and support of his boyfriend, Openly Gator, Queer Duck becomes friends with, and eventually married to, aging Broadway legend Lola Buzzard buzzard, common name for hawks of the genus Buteo and the genus Pernis, or honey buzzard, of the Old World family Accipitridae. Honey buzzards feed on insects, wasp and bumblebee larvae, and small reptiles. . (That's "buz-ZARD," in case you were wondering.) Now with a beard and billions, the fey fowl has a ball spending money on his friends, Oscar Wildcat and Bi Polar Bear, while eluding the hetero-conversion efforts of evil minister Reverend Van Gelding gelding

 (a horse, of course).

While the animation remains at the barebones Flash level, the script (by Simpsons scribe Mike Reiss) never disappoints, juggling witty observations about gay life with some of the most out-there puns you've ever heard. (I won't give away the best one, but suffice it to say that "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" will never sound the same again.) And in a year when even Pixar isn't working up to its usual standards, Queer Duck: The Movie may well be the must-see animated film of the summer, particularly for queers. Of any species.
