Ducktales was one of Disneys best. Kids after the mid 90's missed out on what real cartooning was.Sadly the first 60 episodes or so were 10 stars...then the SHARK HAPPENED AND ITS NAME WAS BUBBA! YEP BUBBA!!!! Scrappy Bubba Doo I call him, just an abomination of a character.THis show is a fantasy how should be, everything good....friendship, finding meaning and life is not about just money.My favorite character was Gizmoduck, because damn any SUPERHERO IS A GOOD SUPERHERO IN MY TOONS! You can read anyone elses synopsis, I will just praise that as GREAT! Despite Bubba, this is a 10.....Blathering blatherskite
... View MoreDuckTales 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!!!
... View MoreI love DuckTales, it is hilarious, well written and fantastically animated. This was part of my childhood and although I am 17, it is still a favourite of mine. It is definitely one of Disney's best animated shows, alongside Darkwing Duck, Talespin and Rescue Rangers. The animation is brilliant, not shoddy quality at all, it is colourful, vibrant and smooth. And who can resist the theme tune? So hip, catchy and memorable, and makes you want to sing along. I love the characters, Scrooge, Huey, Duey and Louie, and my favourite Launchpad McQuack(who's also in Darkwing Duck), and the likes of Alan Young and Terence McGovern bring exuberance to the proceedings. The ideas are outstanding, and the scripts are constantly hilarious and quotable. If anything, I just wish DuckTales lasted longer, and I wish they can show this again, so that Disney can start recreating the magic that blessed our childhoods. 9/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreMy wife and I used to watch these years ago. We recently have been watching the DVDs, singing along to the DuckTales theme, and having a blast watching these old shows! I'm a long time Duck aficionado who has loved Uncle Scrooge and Carl Barks (the cartoonist who invented him decades ago) for a long time. In the 1980s, Disney went back to the well and came back with this winning series, preserving the core of treasure-loving Scrooge and his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie and adding characters like Launchpad McQuack and Webbigail. The adventures of the comic book Scrooge as he traveled around the world looking for rare antiquities helped inspire Indiana Jones.The cartoons had first rate writing and animation that appealed to kids and to adults as well.
