Duckling's Forest: A Goldfish's Dream has wrapped production up, it was a exciting continuation to River Surface, gets first look, new trailer and a release date.
The sequel to River Surface named Duckling's Forest: A Goldfish's Dream has wrapped the production up at Marco Pictures at Home. I was excited for this film being finished of my color grading skills with DaVinci Resolve 19. The film took me like a few months for it's stock clips to be found under commerical or free licenses like Pixabay and Pexels. I found the final clips for the movie, typed the final part of the script, and composed the final two songs on Cakewalk and BandLab.
I ready to say that the film is completed and I watched with my family, We loved it that I thought it was better then the original Ducks in the River Surface movie which I like. It has added more appearences of a new character named Mrs. Leaf and her baby ducks, She is cute and so does their baby ducks playing in the river and ocean. This film has a new lineup of characters in this sequel like the beluga whale, the goldfish in aquarium/ocean and the biggest beloved animal of all time is the American Eagle. This is a big bird for a film in the dream area, She and her eaglets will appear in the new sequel to join how to dream bright.
I used Blender to animate one CGI animation known as The Beluga Whale with Crown, Which takes the kids to their dreams that calm and relaxing that makes then excited with joy. However the CGI scenes are scrapped due to my Blender on Windows not working correctly.
Once change I made is that Mason Hailey, the co-director of the film will no longer be involved in the production of the film along with Mason Universe Studios. It's now under Marco Pictures in house production division.
This film was based on a plushie I have from a SeaWorld park. SeaWorld is my favorite Waterpark to go to, You get to see sea animals, go to the water side and offered a plushie store. I got a plushie with is the beluga whale, I have plans to make a project for the plushie. It was originally The Cat and A Fish Friend with a new animal named a Cat with goldfish. For this project, It was originally called Ducks in the River Surface 2 or The Ducklings and Goldfish named after the folder. But with the name itself, The film was retitled Duckling's Forest: A Goldfish's Dream and it would use the characters from Cat and A Fish Friend and throw it in with Mrs. Leaf and baby ducks.
Today, Mondtop Network YT under Mondtop Network News being it's coverage of Duckling's Forest: A Goldfish's Forest Promotion. The network has partnered with Marco Pictures to promote it's U.S release on YouTube. I began the development of the first trailer using iMovie with the Romance template that I use for the Scratte trailer that got deleted. This trailer was re-made as the first trailer for the sequel with Resolve 20 getting this trailer color graded with 2 LUTs.
The trailer was released on September 1, 2026 on YouTube and it was exciting to watch the trailer online.
The teaser was released 3 days later on Mondtop Network News on Mondtop Network. At ahead of the premiere, It got 40 views on YouTube with myself watching the teaser premiere online. It did better then the original Ducks in the River Surface teaser being a re-made version of the cancelled Tod and Copper movie that Mondtop has planned to produce. The ducks looks nice, The eagle in midnight scenes looks standard as I have to bright the clips for the mother eagle and baby eaglets that are in the movie. As well for the music and goldfish color look like great in comparion.
This trailer was promoted on Discord servers like The Mondtop Network Live Action and Animation Department as well for the Mondtop Network News section on The Marco Pictures Department, and the official Duckling's Forest server.
After 3 days of the teaser premiere, I received a message from Sebastien Martinez that told me that the original Ducks in the River Surface was available to stream on the upcoming streaming service section of The Real Sebastien Martinez website. He would announce this release 3 days later after Vimeo released Part 1 for River Surface on the platform. This is cool to see that TRSM has released a Marco film on the streaming section for TRSM users to watch and it was exciting for me to get pumped for Duckling's Forest's release to TRSM's website.
I accepted the permissions with Martinez to allow the film and River Surface is available on The Real Sebastien Martinez's streaming service with the page expected to go public.
A first look of the film in partnership with Me, TRSM and Mondtop Network News was released on YouTube in September 9 and got 9 views at it's launch.
A first look of the first poster of the sequel was designed by Me as I used Affinity Enterprise. It features the American Bald Eagle (star in the movie), Mrs. Leaf, The Baby Ducks and Me who narrates the sequel. Effects like Masking and Blending effects is added to this poster as well.
Duckling's Forest: A Goldfish's Dream will debut on YouTube in September 14. TRSM Studio will receive the film on the same day as the YouTube release. It also be planned to release on the Marco Pictures website as it has the linked versions of River Surface's Parts 1-5 releases.
For Promotion, Sebastien Martinez will make animation videos of ducks and eagle in the TRSM universe to promote the film's release since Marco owns Sabby Movies. But a new partnership is preparing as Jason Ross and Christopher Rosemond are making deals between Marco Pictures Animation and Radiant Media Developers.
This new deal will allow Radiant Media to let Marco co-produce their content for theatrical films and television shows. This company was involved with Austin Animation, Hyperfrost Productions and Mondtop Network to co-produce Future Packed which is do pretty good to Mondtop's viewership as it's first season premiere is moved up to January 25, 2027 on Mondtop Network and it's website.
As a result, Marco hired Jason Ross, the author behind Gnoll's Honour to co-direct with Christopher Rosemond for a new animated short film. This animated film features the bald eagle but doing mommy playtime with her baby ducks. It will feature the Beluga Whale, Jellyfish and human beings being in the movie.
This new short film's production companies is Radiant Media Films and Marco Pictures Animation. Marco will distribute this new short to YouTube as well after the premiere of Duckling's Forest and the Marco Pictures website hosting the short film.
I'm excited to watch this movie once's it heads to YouTube, it will be the best looking movie ever and the partners will help me out to partner by giving it's promotion that it deserves.
