it is, essentially, a kids’ movie. not a family movie, like most of disney’s best output, but a kids’ movie. i watched it with simon, and he didn’t care that apparently the phone lines at the treasury department are bugged by a host of foreign governments and that the japanese bureaucrat shown discussing the duck is an awful racist caricature. he laughed because grown men were barking at a duck. (the duck’s got a pavlovian response where it lays eggs when barked at .) he didn’t notice how weird it was that everyone was persisting in referring to a female duck as “he” all the time. he didn’t get into a lot of the other stuff in the film, but there’s a lot of plot here for a three - year - old. i suspect he’ll love it when he’s seven. and grow out of it again not long thereafter .

on the other hand, she’s also the one who notices that jimmy (lee montgomery) is miserable; albert assuredly doesn’t. he’s in the right in my opinion to not want to buy a pedigreed puppy for fifty bucks—nearly $ 300 today—when they’re not even really keeping their heads above water, but after jimmy bonds with the duck, he still insists on giving it away? and not for any decent reason, just because he needs to move the plot along. he gets so caught up in the gold that he completely ignores the son he’d previously referred to as a pal .

the woman in the family in the movie has apparently survived nine years of marriage since she has an 8 - year - old son, but her survival must have been a matter of blind luck. she makes applesauce with garlic in it because she doesn' t know any better, and she takes a golden egg down to the bank when her checking account gets overdrawn. being married to such a mentality would be wearying to her husband, you imagine; he is a young scientist engaged in teaching rabbits and ducks to walk down the ramp and through the maze and push the right button and be rewarded with rabbit food or duck food .

filmmaker brian golden davis didn’t hear about the contest from “fargo, ” but from a friend and eventual winner ron louque. “i had a friend in high school whose dad had won the contest, ” davis told indiewire in an interview. “we were talking about it and he said, ‘my stepdad painted a duck. it got on a stamp, and now we’re set for life. ’ that phrase just stuck with me. ”

while the hautmans have the most impressive record, they’re by no means the only family to paint ducks together. “it’s reached multiple generations, ” davis confirmed. “because it started in 1934, some of those guys have kind of died off, so the second generation is kind of the hautman brothers and adam [ grimm ]. the guy who’s won the most is maynard reece. he’s won five times — he’s in his 90s now. ”
