B.Duck
The world's most loved duck. The big screen's next star.
A global character leaves the merchandise aisle and steps into his first feature.
A yellow duck with a world of his own.
B.Duck is warm, funny and endlessly curious. He turns ordinary days into adventures, and he does it with a sense of mischief that children recognize immediately. Parents know him from the shelf. Children know him from the screen. The film brings those two relationships into the same room.
The story is in development. The world is already here: a bright, family-first universe built on friendship, discovery and the small disasters that make a day memorable.
He has been on the shelf for years. Now he gets a world.
The audience arrives with him.
This is not a cold start. B.Duck has a global retail and licensing business, a recognizable visual language and a family audience that already knows the character. The film gives that audience a new place to gather.

- Reported retail sales in 2025

A character with that reach does not need to be introduced. He needs to be given a story worth the trip.
Retail sales, partner count and product count are reported by the character brand and reproduced from the Hudhud Studios materials. They are not Hudhud revenues.
Launch in the biggest animation market in the world.
China is the largest animation market on the planet, and it is still growing. In 2025, animated films took US$3.6B in ticket sales, almost half of the total box office. The audience is there. The screens are there. The character is already known.
Known characters win. B.Duck is one of them.
The film opens in China, then travels.
