Summary
The DVD box's back cover blurb:
Original Finnish Alfred J. Kwak on vilkas ja musikaalinen orpo ankka, jonka maamyyrä Henk on ottanut hoiviinsa. Alfred, eläinten maailman Don Quijote, ottaa vastuuta maailmasta ympärillään ja taistelee ystävineen herkeämättä paremman maailman puolesta. Sarjan esitysten myötä Alfred on taistellut ja taistelee tiensä myös meidän katsojien sydämiin.
Sarja tuo poikkeuksellisella tavalla esille yhteiskunnallisia ja poliittisia teemoja kuten esim. rotusyrjintää, valaanpyyntiä, lähi-idän tilannetta, kolmansien maiden köyhyyttä sekä ympäristöongelmia.
Yhteiskunnan ja ympäristön muutokset mukailevat sarjan edetessä Alfredin varttumista hauraasta munasta täysikasvuiseksi ankaksi.
Translation Alfred J. Kwak is a lively and musical orphan duck, that the mole Henk has taken into his care. Alfred, the Don Quijote of the animal world, takes responsibility for the world around him and fights tirelessly with his friends for a better world. With the performances of the series, Alfred has fought and is fighting his way into the hearts of us viewers as well.
The series brings out social and political themes in an exceptional way, such as racial discrimination, whaling, the situation in the Middle East, poverty in third countries and environmental problems.
As the series progresses, the changes in society and the environment mirror Alfred's growth from a fragile egg into a full-grown duck.

Notes
- ↑ Playable in regions 1-6 and 8. Region mask byte 0x40 blocks only region 7, a reserved region used for MPA/pre-release discs and unused by commercial releases; every commercial DVD player will play the discs.
- ↑ Mono content presented as dual-mono: both channels carry the same mono track.
- ↑ also referred to as Alfred J. Kwak Box (4-disc) and Alfred J. Kwak - 1.kausi [4-disc] (lit: Alfred J. Kwak - 1.season [4-disc]) in PAN Vision's product list webpage from February to September of 2009 respectively.
- ↑ Pankka is a nonce word coined to rhyme with ankka ("duck"), while myyränpoika ("son of a mole") mocks Alfred for being raised by Henk the Mole. The three words together form a sing-song taunt.
