Java_Joe Baby Huey was a comic book character created by the same people that made Casper, Richie Rich and all those other comics you read as a kid. He's a giant anthropomorphic duck with super strength even though he's still a baby. That's the joke. And for some reason people thought we needed a live action version of this. It's basically every single fish out of water movie you've ever seen rolled into one. He shows up, some people don't like him and are afraid of him, others want to make him a star, there's forced comedy, emphasis on the fact he's a giant baby that breaks things without meaning to and scene. That is literally the movie. I guess really young children might like it but we're talking like 4 or 5 here. Once they get older they're going to be bored silly.Give this one a pass.

C. Sean Currie (hypestyle) "Baby Huey's Great Easter Adventure" is a live action film featuring long-lived comic book/cartoon character Baby Huey. A 7-foot-tall baby duck, dim of wit but big of heart (and strong of arm), the film serves as an "origin" story of sorts, set in a small town called Bitsville.Nick is a local boy who, while walking home from school comes across a giant egg which fell off a delivery truck. Naturally, Nick takes the big guy home to his parents, who are surprised, but apparently not scared to death that a giant talking duck has just followed their son home (Mom is Maureen McCormack aka Marcia from "The Brady Bunch"; the relentlessly fix-it-minded dad is played by David Leisure).Huey quickly becomes Nick's best friend and a surrogate brother, and Nick's parents observe how Huey inspires the normally shy Nick's self-esteem. Hijinks ensue, usually involving Huey's heft making a mess of his surroundings.Meanwhile, a couple of unethical grown-ups have their eyes on Huey for selfish reasons. Birdwatcher (and amateur taxidermist) Professor von Klumpp (Harvey Korman) wants Huey as a lab project; hapless showbiz promoter PT Wynnsocki and his sidekick (Joseph Bologna and Martin Lander) see Huey as a novelty stage act to bring in the big bucks.The effervescent Huey wins over the kids of the school and (temporarily) even the teachers. The school's principal is played by John Vernon ("Animal House") the irony of which is made clear when one considers that the film is directed by Stephen Furst (who played Flounder in "Animal House" and also voices Baby Huey here).A pending Easter celebration at the school serves as the film's plot, but while it's pretty threadbare, there are some nice, if abrupt, segues into songs by the principal cast, including a few led by Huey himself.That the filmmakers chose to play the subject matter straight is to its benefit, as there's not really much of a choice when the main character is a giant duck in a diaper and bonnet. The character design is actually spot-on for the character who was created back in 1949. As such, Huey technically predates Sesame Street's Big Bird, though there is little chance of BB's place in pop culture being usurped anytime soon.All in all, this is an enjoyable film for kids: The veteran actors featured here are fun to watch, though the roles are maybe a little thankless. Still, this is a nice, inoffensive diversion that the family can watch together.

cowjester I am 17. My friends and i like to rent movies that look or sound stupid from their title or box art. We call this "THE WORST MOVIE MARATHON." We first saw BHGEA at our local video store and decided that this movie would be our feature film for that night. Boy were we wrong. Baby Huey's Great Easter Adventure is an excellent movie. The cast is stupendious, including the former "Marcia Brady" and even Joe Izuza. (pardon my spelling) The story line is so intricate you have to watch it atleast twice to see EVERYTHING. This movie should have never been viewed at the the W.M.M. but i do not regret it. Baby Huey's Great Easter Adventure is the greatest movie ever!! See it tonight! Oh yeah, the songs rule too. Very unique.

Gwenn A seven-foot tall baby duck being raised by ex-Marcia Brady Maureen McCormick and her family is somehow accused of stealing Easter eggs and wrecking school property. It is like Big Bird's worst nightmare... and any viewer's. I caught it during a baseball rain delay and had to keep watching -- in disbelief that something this bad had been made.
