 It’s the 24th century and planet Earth is about to come under attack from a massive Martian invasion.
With the imminent threat of mass destruction and wide spread panic, the search is on for a saviour who can rescue the world from a fate worse than…well, there’s not much worse than mass destruction is there?!
Enter Duck Dodgers (aka Daffy Duck), a hapless laid-back doofus, who was accidentally cryogenically frozen in the 21st century.
Now, nearly 351 and a half years later, Dodgers has been defrosted by the highly intelligent Dr I.Q. Hi and has managed to convince the powers-that-be that he is their knight in shining feathers, here to save the planet from the evil Martian Queen and her assistant, The Martian Commander.
In an attempt to protect the planet from the imminent alien invasion and to save himself a bit of hard work, Duck Dodgers has formed the Galactic Force. The alien attacking team is made up of Dodgers, The Eager Young Space Cadet (otherwise known as Porky Pig), a space ship, some laser guns and a load of majorly techy gadgets. The only problem is that Dodgers doesn’t know how to use his fancy gear, can barely fly his space ship and his apprentice is running a little low on braincells.
Will lady luck shine down on the hapless duck, dodger of all work, or will our great great great great great great etc. grandchildren be at the mercy of a ruthless band of aliens?
Only Duck Dodgers has the answer!
Daffy Duck as Duck Dodgers
Surely this daft duck can’t really be Earth's final hope… can he? After spending three centuries as a duck lollypop after being accidentally frozen, Daffy Duck has finally been defrosted and is back wreaking more havoc as the dizzy Duck Dodgers.
Having convinced the rulers of the 24th century of his planet-saving prowess Dodgers has been charged with the task of saving planet Earth from the mean old Martians but unfortunately for the safety of the world he turns out to be a bit of a lazy bones.
Yes, our only-too-willing-to-have-a-go-hero would rather have his feet up watching TV than be bothered with a spot of earth-saving.
Fortunately for Dodgers the work-shy duck usually has lady luck and a particularly porky sidekick to help him out of a spot of bother.
Porky Pig as The Eager, Young Space Cadet
Duck Dodger’s loyal and trusty sidekick is in complete awe of his mentor and believes the ditsy duck to be the superest hero of all time.
The silly little pig is so sure of his maniacal master’s worthiness that he is always first to follow him straight into deep Martian water.
Despite generally being the one to save everybody’s bacon, Duck Dodger’s porky playmate never takes credit for his bold heroics, he’s far too humble and anyway there’s someone all too ready to claim the spotlight for him.
Marvin The Martian as The Martian Commander
The complete opposite to Duck Dodgers, The Martian Commander is crafty, clever and calculating but somehow incapable of getting past his clueless archenemy.
Desperate to impress the masterful Martian Queen, our keen little Martian Commander always seems to give his all in return for... nothing at all!
Martian Queen
The mysterious Martian Queen wants to expand her ever-growing empire and has her eyes on planet Earth. She is beautiful and full of charm, elegance and supposed intelligence. She can’t be the brightest star in the sky however as she seems to be under the delusion that Duck Dodgers has the most brilliant tactical mind in the galaxy?!
Dr. I.Q. Hi
If it wasn’t for this rubber-gloved quack, there’d be no Duck Dodgers! Responsible for assigning all of Earth's missions to various space captains he still regrets thawing Dodgers – the duck never listens! Sporting the latest scientific headgear, I.Q. Hi does have a soft spot for the so-called hero of the Universe, but finds holding a conversation with Dodgers is like talking to a brick wall!
