How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A cheerful blend of live-action and animation where a scheming cartoon duck convinces his pal to chase Hollywood dreams, leading to slapstick chaos and cartoonish mayhem at the studio gates. It's a love letter to showbiz wrapped in rubber-hose comedy and meta-humor.
