What does the duck represent? Well, the duck connects the two doctors. … We’ll see a duck at the other end, which is the witch doctor. … Ryan’s character refers to this doctor as a ‘quack’.— Soulless Minions,

This whole movie’s been building up to Joe versus the volcano, and he does it. He takes that leap, and the volcano shoots him out. The volcano was fear. He faced his fear.— Soulless Minions,
