The Sissy Duckling

I just wish the voice actors were better cast. Harvey Fierstein was NOT a good choice, at all, for Elmer's voice. It was waaaaaay to distractedly raspy. Not AT ALL believable that a duckling would even have this kind of voice. Unless that was part of the point of Elmer being different. But, I believe as Ferstein is a homosexual, that the story was more about homosexual tolerance. (Or specifically, his own story) The name "sissy" could be argued that it was used to make a better point, as opposed to, say "fatty". Not that I have no issues with subjects, like homosexuality, but the voice actors just made it hard to take the story seriously. Harvey Ferstein's singing didn't help at all, either. While I was listening to this without actually watching (I'm typing this while the movie playing midway going towards the end) I could not even imagine that a duckling was talking. All u could hear was Ferstein. Even Ed Asner got corny. But, as for tolerance stories, it was pretty smart. But, the voice actors needed to offer better performances. Even for 1999.
