Sitting Ducks is a children’s animated television series based on an iconic lithograph and the 1998 children’s book, Sitting Ducks, created by Michael Bedard. Voice direction was done by Andrea Romano, “arguably the best known casting/dialogue director on the animation scene today”.
Sitting Ducks first appeared in 2001 in Europe, later debuting in North America on the Cartoon Network, Australia on ABC and in Japan. The show lasted for two seasons each comprising of 13 episodes, with the last episode shown on July 5, 2003. It is not currently airing on any channel, aside from qubo in the United States.
Apparently, they were heavy into scooters, which can be seen in various episodes. The Ducks popularity grew with kids and adults alike and they soon found their way onto the video game scene. This game was made for all formats at the time PC, Xbox, PS2, and Gameboy, according to this game must be hard to find. Wow that’s expensive. You can see all the Sitting Ducks Episodes on , but for now as promised in the title here is The Great Scooter Race.
