Too Bad CGI Wasn't Around Then


They could've done a better job on creating Howard and made him more animate with facial expressions. You could tell he was nothing, but a big costume. He and Big Bird could've been cousins.

The more I study it, the greater the puzzle becomes.

Yeah but with cgi, we would have been able to tell that he was nothing but a load of computer graphics.. (ala Garfield/Chipmunks). At with least practical effects, what we see is actually there.

Maybe George Lucas will make a Special Edition Producers Cut for this movie. He could replace the Howard "puppet" with a CGI Howard. He could extend the Duckworld opening scenes. He should definitely redo the Dark Overlord monster during the climax with CGI. But most importantly he should overdub a "Nooooooo!!!!" as the other Dark Overlords are sent back to their world.
