Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sitting Ducks was adapted from Michael Bedard's bestselling picture books, which were considerably darker and more existential than the cartoon.
Despite the 'racism' tag and predator-prey premise, the show somehow never once showed Aldo actually tempted to eat Bill—missed opportunity or careful avoidance?
