Million Dollar Duck (1998 film)

Million Dollar Duck is a 1998 American animated satirical comedy film written and directed by Jacob S. Lee and produced by Lorne Michaels and Kath Soucie, who also stars as the lead character. The film is about a high school teacher who somehow inherits a large fortune and becomes a media mogul. 
Aside from the film’s title, it is not a remake of the 1971 Walt Disney film The Million Dollar Duck. The film’s main plot is loosely based on the Clarence Budington Kelland short story Opera Hat, which was also adapted into the 1936 film Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, directed by Frank Capra. 
Produced by SNL Studios and JLC Productions and released by Paramount Pictures on October 23rd, 1998, it received mildly positive reviews and was a commercial success at the box office.
