This animated short should not be confused . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . with the 1992 feature film of the same title, generally considered by experts as one of the worst movies of all time. Drizzly's version of OUT ON A LIMB is bad enough in its own right, of course, based as it is on the thin premise that a duck is climbing high into an oak tree with pruning equipment to lop off a few dead limbs. Naturally, ANY alternative activity would be more enjoyable than THAT, and a divergent use for his time quickly presents itself to the thoroughly deviant duck. As soon as this foul water bird spots more intelligent mammals flitting about the branches, this pernicious feathered fiend immediately begins bedeviling the tree dwellers in their own home, eventually destroying the entire towering forest sentinel. This ending reflects the fact that the mercenary Drizzly denizens hate Mother Nature in general and America in particular, wishing that we citizens be forced to live out our lives confined to the alternative realities and sky-high prices of their D-i-s-t-o-p-i-a-n theme parks.
