German-born animator Uli Meyer worked on several profile movies before operating his own studio in the 1990's. After producing much of the animation on Space Jam, Uli wanted to follow the success of that movie with an animation-live-action combo of his own. Uli basically tweaked Daffy's design for the duck in this test footage you see here, as his animators were already accustomed to drawing him from Space Jam. The movie was never made after a major studio backed out before it could start production.
The plot of Uli's movie would have involved a scientist creating a formula to solve world hunger and deforestation. His pet duck however samples some of the formula and becomes an animated cartoon duck. Meanwhile criminals attempt to use the same formula for their own deeds.
