Baby Huey's Great Easter Adventure (1999)
In this live-action musical comedy, Baby Huey, the lovable seven foot tall duckling, is taken in by a caring little boy named Nick and his kind but surprised family. A sinister scientist and a mean Las Vegas producer want Baby Huey for themselves, but they don't know what a little boy, a caring community, and a baby bird that's bigger than all of them is capable of.

Thanks for the memories!
Just perfect...
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Baby Huey was a comic book character created by the same people that made Casper, Richie Rich and all those other comics you read as a kid. He's a giant anthropomorphic duck with super strength even though he's still a baby. That's the joke. And for some reason people thought we needed a live action version of this. It's basically every single fish out of water movie you've ever seen rolled into one. He shows up, some people don't like him and are afraid of him, others want to make him a star, there's forced comedy, emphasis on the fact he's a giant baby that breaks things without meaning to and scene. That is literally the movie. I guess really young children might like it but we're talking like 4 or 5 here. Once they get older they're going to be bored silly.Give this one a pass.
Quite admittedly, this isn't the best movie in the world. But the fact that it's so camp-ish makes it better than if it had seemed terribly serious in nature. Then again, the only reason I have seen this movie so many times is that I am such a huge fan of David L. Lander (who is positively adorable here), and the inclusion of other classic TV stars is fun (if not a little sad that this is the best material some of them can get). My sister said of this movie after watching it, "It's bad, but in a good way." Very true. I love most of the music in here (but try not to laugh at a giant baby duck singing a heart-felt song about not belonging anywhere). Watch it without trying to take it too seriously; that will make all the difference!
I am 17. My friends and i like to rent movies that look or sound stupid from their title or box art. We call this "THE WORST MOVIE MARATHON." We first saw BHGEA at our local video store and decided that this movie would be our feature film for that night. Boy were we wrong. Baby Huey's Great Easter Adventure is an excellent movie. The cast is stupendious, including the former "Marcia Brady" and even Joe Izuza. (pardon my spelling) The story line is so intricate you have to watch it atleast twice to see EVERYTHING. This movie should have never been viewed at the the W.M.M. but i do not regret it. Baby Huey's Great Easter Adventure is the greatest movie ever!! See it tonight! Oh yeah, the songs rule too. Very unique.
A seven-foot tall baby duck being raised by ex-Marcia Brady Maureen McCormick and her family is somehow accused of stealing Easter eggs and wrecking school property. It is like Big Bird's worst nightmare... and any viewer's. I caught it during a baseball rain delay and had to keep watching -- in disbelief that something this bad had been made.
