    I loved this cartoon. The nephews were such an inspiration for me (: I'm glad that they grew from being in Donald Duck's show to having one of their own. I loved this WAY BETTER than Donald Duck's cartoons where they were just a bit part.I didn't care too much for Webbigail Vanderquack, but she added something with the nephews.I'm a little nervous about this TV show's reboot.I am actually curious and hoping that they'd maybe have romance between her and the nephews.Either way, I'm hoping it doesn't make it to where I don't want to watch it ):I'll always go back and watch Ducktales even if the reboot does disappoint. Well, Ducktales will always be special to me and have a place in my heart. Every time I see ducks, I think of Huey, Dewey and Louie (:

    With a theme song that goes "Life is like a hurricane" that's exactly what you get with DuckTales.Growing up in the 1980s and 1990s I have to say some of the greatest cartoon shows came in those decades and DuckTales ranks right up there with some of the best. Disney really strike a home run even today DuckTales remains a classic. With great characters such as Scrooge McDuck the series main protagonist along with his grandnephews Huey,Dewey,Louie, Webbigail "Webby" Vanderquack,Mrs. Bentina Beakley,Duckworth the Butler,Launchpad McQuack,Gyro Gearloose. Along of course with the villains Flintheart Glomgold who is the main antagonist of the series along with The Beagle Boys and Magica de Spell.As I mention before the theme song remains a masterpiece because it set the tone for the show I mean with lyrics like this"Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes - it's a duck blur You might solve a mystery or rewrite history Duck Tales, Oo-oo Tales of derring-do, bad and good luck tales, oo- oo D-d-d-danger, watch behind you - there's a stranger out to find you What to do? Just grab onto some Duck Tales, oo-oo! Not pony tails or cotton tails but Duck Tales, oo-oo! When it seems they're headed for the final curtain Bold deduction never fails, that's for certain The worst of messes become successes! Duck Tales, Oo-oo Tales of derring-do, bad and good luck tales, oo- oo Not pony tails or cotton tails but Duck Tales, oo-oo!"If they are not enough to get into the show I don't know what will. The animation for the show is top notch Disney know how to make strong animation for DuckTales even today it is still impressive hand drawn work. The Music is superb, the stories in this series were very well written they did really well with the characters and story for the series also the voice acting is very good this is one of those series you can love the voice actingDo yourself a favor and introduce your children to this classic and the nostalgia for this series really can't be undone

    DuckTales is another one of the many great Disney (and overall) cartoons that came on in the late 80's-90's. It is about the adventures of Scrooge McDuck, millionaire tycoon of Duckburg and his three nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie who are always getting into trouble and out of it thanks to friends like Webby Vanderquack, Gyro Gearloose, and Launchpad McQuack. As a kid, I didn't watch this until the re-runs came on Disney Channel in the mid-to-late 90's, and I loved every episode! It has all the elements of "true" Disney: action, adventure, suspense, mystery, great stories, great characters, great animation, great villains like Magica de Spell and the Beagle Boys, great music, and an awesome theme song which I often find myself humming at the randomest times!!! As a kid, I also enjoyed "Darkwing Duck," "Chip and Dale's Rescue Ranger's," "Goof Troop," "TaleSpin," and all the other great Disney Afternoon cartoon's the 90's had to offer! This was, (and still is) however, my favorite of them all and easily one of my all-time favorite cartoons!!! I recently bought Volume 1 of this great show and since it has brought back so many nostalgic memories of childhood, I plan on getting Volumes 2-3 and Volumes of the other classic Disney Afternoon cartoons cause the garbage that Disney (with the exception of "Phineas and Ferb"), Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon is shoving down kids throats nowadays is brainwashing and it makes me sick!!! Anyways, back to the awesomeness of DuckTales; some of my favorite episodes are: the one where Scrooge and the boys have to save Donald from the spell of an evil mummy, the one where Launchpad and the boys accidentally get launched into space, the one where Gyro made those giant robots designed to help the city and the Beagle Boys use them to destroy it and, well, you get the idea!!! I love this cartoon!!! The movie "DuckTales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp" was pretty cool too!!! Rating: 10/10!!!

    I first watched this show back in 1991 and 1992, when I was only seven years old. This was only season 2 though, you know, the episodes with Bubba and Fenton/Gizmoduck. I've never gotten that much into season 1, and for many years, I didn't even know, that an earlier season even existed, because that season was shown on a different channel, which I didn't even have until years later. But even as a little girl, I really liked season 2. The boys in my class must have liked it too, because I remember them building Gizmoduck figurines out of some kind of building kit. And they must have re-enacted the episodes from TV too, because I specifically remember them quoting Mrs Crackshell "But Fenton, we never spend any time together", except they did it in Swedish, of course.Fortunately, I taped a lot of episodes (though in hindsight, I wish I would have taped even more of them, especially those with Fenton), and I watched them now and then throughout the 90s. And then in early 2002, ten years after these episodes had last been shown on Swedish TV, I watched my old tapes again. And as I now was seventeen years old, going on eighteen, I could see them in a more mature light. And I started thinking "Isn't Fenton cute?" I somehow forgot about it over the summer though, until I watched those tapes again in the fall. And soon enough, it became obvious, that Fenton Crackshell had become one of my cartoon crushes. (Yep, I've had my fair share of those.) I soon managed to get all episodes with him in English, and in 2004, half of these episodes were once again shown on Swedish TV, which allowed to finally tape some of the episodes, that I hadn't had in Swedish before.And even if I disregard Fenton for a moment (okay, that's hard for me, but I'll try), this must be one of the best Disney shows ever. I must agree with the general consensus here. Especially season 2 shows so much quality, that it can entertain adults and children alike. I haven't seen much of season 1, but from the little I've seen of it, it comes across as more childish to me. But of course, since children was the main target group, there's no harm in that. I rate this show (or really, season 2, since I haven't seen much of season 1) 9 out of 10. It could have been a perfect 10, if it hadn't been for two details, which just bother me. One is that Gandra Dee, Fenton's girlfriend, is so wrong for him, that I won't even get started on it here. And the other one is that Webby was so marginalized in season 2. Maybe there were so many characters in the end, that there wasn't much space left for her. But she still lived at the McDuck mansion, right? So they should have shown her more, even if it only had been her playing with Huey, Dewie and Louie, and given her more lines.
