When
the movie, The Blues Brothers, was released in 1980, the Blues Brothers
took on a life of their own. The movie cost about 38 million dollars
to make, and was directed and co-written by John Landis (director
of such movies as Animal House, An American Werewolf in London, Three
Amigos, and Michael Jackson's "Thriller"). How to describe it? It's
a musical comedy - action - fantasy movie. . . it covers all the bases.
Two of the best car chases in cinematic history bookend the film,
and in between there are show-stopping musical numbers, raw humor,
Illinois Nazis, and a seriously disgruntled ex-fiancee. And it all
makes perfect sense in the context of the universe created by Aykroyd
(who co-wrote with Landis), Landis (who directed), and Belushi (his
barely contained zeal
provides
the battery pack for the movie).
Jake
(Belushi) and Elwood (Aykroyd) are the former front men of a broken
down blues band (actually a stunning collection of blues talent) which
disbanded after Jake was arrested several years before. Upon his release,
he discovers that his boyhood orphanage home is about to be foreclosed
for non-payment of property taxes. Beaten up by a nun, sung to by
James Brown, and touched by God, Jake sees the light and seeks to
put the band together for one last show -- a charity benefit to save
the orphanage.

...We produce our Celebriducks in limited editions and make changes
as we release each new edition. All first editions done before the
year 2000 were done in editions of 5000 and a number of them are
getting close to being sold out. The early first editions are a
bit larger and a little more firm, but subsequent editions after
the year 2000 reflect a duck which now squeaks, is a little smaller
and softer, has all new packaging, and floats as well or better
than any duckie on the market.
