But, the voice actors needed to offer better performances. In a New Memoir, Harvey Fierstein Shares Gossip and Regrets As much as it hurts, tell the truth, says the Tony-winning performer and playwright, tracing his path from Brooklyn to Broadway. Instead, the author portrays Elmer as a boy who is bullied for being different. But, as for tolerance stories, it was pretty smart. The Sissy Duckling about a young boy named Elmer who is presumed to be homosexual, although the book didnt explicitly state it. While I was listening to this without actually watching (I'm typing this while the movie playing midway going towards the end) I could not even imagine that a duckling was talking. But when his father is wounded by a hunter’s shot, Elmer proves that the biggest sissy can. While they like to play baseball, he wants to put on the halftime show. While they like to build forts, he loves to bake cakes. Harvey Ferstein's singing didn't help at all, either. Elmer is not like the other boy ducklings. Not that I have no issues with subjects, like homosexuality, but the voice actors just made it hard to take the story seriously. (Or specifically, his own story) The name "sissy" could be argued that it was used to make a better point, as opposed to, say "fatty". But, I believe as Ferstein is a homosexual, that the story was more about homosexual tolerance. Unless that was part of the point of Elmer being different. Not AT ALL believable that a duckling would even have this kind of voice. Harvey Fierstein was NOT a good choice, at all, for Elmer's voice. I just wish the voice actors were better cast.
