I saw this as "Duck Dodgers in the 3rd Dimension" at the World Animation Celebration in L.A. in 1997.
I was quite knocked out by it, both for the 3D effects and for the faithful revival of the classic WB characters in it.
For once someone got it right. The characters were in character, the voices sounded right and the animation did them justice.
We were told that everything was animated on paper first by 2D animators, then those images were handed to 3D animators to match exactly. Sounds awkward but it worked great.
This film hasn't been widely seen. Hopefully with the current 3D boom it will be released theatrically, perhaps on the front of a similarly themed live action film.
