If you have a Disney+ subscription, discover this ideal film to stay in the Easter mood with the story of a duck who lays golden eggs!
The Duck with the Golden Eggs is a Disney feature film about a penniless scientist adopting a radiation duck who ends up laying golden eggs. But how to manage this new windfall? How do you keep it a secret when so much covetousness is stirred up?
We are here in a typical Disney comedy, with the hilarious Dean Jones and Sandy Duncan in his debut. The character of the mother, at home, often shown doing household chores, clumsy and even a little clumsy at times, may shock parents, who will find themselves more on the vaudeville side of the film and its classic but effective gags. As for children, they will also find what they are looking for:

What they will like
- The unfailing friendship between little Jimmy (son of the scientist) and the duck named Charlotte.
- The moral of the film, which is that friendship matters more than money and that what you think is a blessing can cause a lot more trouble than you think.
- The rather ingenious pursuit race, which will keep even the youngest in suspense.

What might worry them
- The cohort of financiers looking to get their hands on the cane by any means. All old and unscrupulous men, they disrupt the daily life of the family and their repeated presence endangers the little boy.
- At the end, Jimmy threatens to fall from a ladder placed horizontally between two buildings. We are afraid for him and for Charlotte.
