Sitting Ducks are the creation of world-renown poster artist and Emmy Award winning producer Michael Bedard who sees his hatchlings as the perfect instrument with which to express his wry, slightly dark sense of humor and his own brand of social commentary.

Bedard's ducks began life in the early eighties as a series of humorous paintings featuring his "Sitting Ducks". Since then, they have spread their wings to include a multiple award winning children's book and a CGI children's animated television series currently airing in over 35 territories.

The new series, "Sitting Ducks", takes place in the whimsical world of Ducktown, a town much like any other excepts its inhabitants are feathered.

Here, where life is good, food is plentiful and the ducks never fly south, one bird stands out among the flock - Bill. Bill's best friend is Aldo, a tough alligator with a soft center from the neighboring town of Swampwood.

The unlikely friendship between these two creatures on opposite ends of the food chain sets the scene for unique challenges and a lot of fun.
