This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Good concept, poorly executed.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This is my favorite cartoon that was featured on the Disney Afternoon, always eager to catch this show when I got home from grade school. It features an update of some of your favorite classic Disney characters - when Donald Duck joins the Navy, his nephews, Hewey, Dewey and Louie, goes to live with wealthy Scrooge McDuck.With Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Duey and Louie, and a bunch of zany and adventurous characters like Launchpad McQuack, Gyro Gearloose, Mrs. Beakley and Webbigale, they go on countless exciting adventures, from treasure-hunting to saving Scrooge's prized Number One Dime, and from battling villains like the Beagle Boys and Magica De Spell to time traveling, it's pure fun and entertainment from start to finish.Colorful animation, upbeat music, energetic voice-acting (my hats off to actor Alan Young) and exciting stories give this one of the best and memorable cartoon shows from my childhood and it has stood well through the test of times. It's nostalgic and timeless! Grade A

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

One of the best things about my childhood has always been cartoons, I remember when I was about six or seven seeing this show and it really blew me away, it wasn't just a show it was a phenomenon for it's time heck even the video game for the Nintendo became just as big and became one of my favorite video game of all time. And after all these years like a well preserved relic, I still think this show (including the video game on a side note) still holds up.Everything about the show is just great from the animation which I felt was top notch, one of Disney's best for television; from it's movement, color, and background animation. I really love how they were able to crate a sort of alternate modern world with non human presences. I'll admit it's a strange idea but it was the best idea that surprisingly worked.The music was great, this show has one of the best theme songs not just for animation but TV in general. It's the kind of song you can literally incorporate into a sing along party, it was one of the songs I and my friends sing to. The theme just has such a catchy and adventurous feel to it, it's literally infectious.I even like/love the plots of most of the episodes, this show was purely pulp escapist fun, because like most of those pulp adventures it was always about ordinary/unique people that have to deal with or run into practically one situation after another that was out of the ordinary. Whether it's a simple treasure hunt, a trip to a fantasy land, investigating the paranormal, involvement in a spy mission, you name it there's just something for everyone.And what made those adventures stand out was how the protagonists were able to resolve or get out of those situations which made them all the more exciting but most importantly showed that anybody can be capable of doing anything. Also the show was able to have some story arcs which was something cartoons rarely done at the time, like my favorite the "Treasure of the Gold Suns" which wasn't just an exciting adventure but it is also to me one of the best and only Pilot episodes for a show that has held up. Just seeing it makes me wonder why the heck not many other shows pilots can do that.The humor is great there are some suttle reference jokes to some movies and shows. The visual humor is great but so is some of the verbal humor, I'll admit some verbal joke flew over my head when I was a kid, but seeing them now made the show even funnier because I saw how truly clever and smart they were, which showed they weren't insulting their audiences intelligence. It's true that sometimes the show can be a bit silly in some places but not to the point of being stupid or totally cheesy.However the show wouldn't of worked if it didn't have memorable protagonists and even villains.Scrooge McDuck this guy is my favorite character in the show. He's pretty much a comical pulp hero much like "Doc Savage", "Doctor Who", "Macgyver", or any other you can think off. The guy has about as much money as Bill Gates, adventurous, determined, a little cranky, highly Scottish, he really does care about people, loves his nephews and friends and does his best to help them despite his Achilles heel or strength which is his greed. It's just funny seeing him at times exercise his greed in the best or worst way, or just get aggravated over whatever the situation is. But yet still takes action no matter what.Launchpad this is my favorite supporting character in the show, he's practially a ace in the air except for the fact he's crashed more times than any crash dummy, how he miraculously survives each time only fate and God knows that answer. He's heroic all the way, his heart is in the right place if not his head (probably from all the crashes).Gyro Gearloose is also good, he's pretty much is to Scroge whom Q is to James Bond. He invents some of the most useful and craziest gadgets I've ever seen.The Beegle Boys their fun antagonists, their sort of like evil versions of "The Three Stooges" since their these dimwitted thugs that have only one goal robbing Scrooge's money bin. But my favorite villain is Magica Despell whom I find funny but also has a little menace because she's uses black magic where each spell is practically a rhyme. Her goal I think is non cliché because it's not to get money but simply Scooge's Lucky Dime (which is just a simple dime)for reasons unknown, some say an item to help rule the world with or an ingredient for a spell to rule the world; I don't know one of those two conclusions works for me.Overall "Ducktales" are the most amazing tales you'll ever see.Rating: 4 stars

Remember the state of weekday afternoon cartoons circa early-mid 80s, companies was mostly producing cartoons based off of toys during that time period. In 1987 Disney produced a series that forever changed the state of weekday afternoon cartoons. That cartoon series is called DuckTales, one of the greatest cartoons of all time in my book. DuckTales is one of the few 80s cartoons that wasn't based off a toy line/video game/comic book. This cartoon tells the adventures of Scrooge McDuck, his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie, pilot Launchpad McQuack amongst others. The show first began on 9/11/87 with the 2 hour pilot "Treasure of the Golden Suns" on NBC's prime time time slot and later began regular broadcasting the following week. DuckTales is about a rich geezer duck who wants to keep adding to his fortunes and he and his nephews (and in some cases Webby) goes on treasure hunts and Indiana Jones like adventures. The second season introduces Bubba the Caveduck, Fenton Crackshell aka Gizmo Duck, Mama Crackshell, Gandra Dee and tons of others. Some of the new characters (Bubba and Gizmo Duck in particular)were frequently criticized by some DuckTales fans for changing the show. I for one disagree. I think the show was the same as it was during the first 65 episodes. In 1990, Disney made a movie based off the series called DuckTales, Treasure of the Lost Lamp. In 1991, Disney made a spin off to the show, Darkwing Duck. Five years after Darkwing Duck was made the prequel to DuckTales was made and it was not successful nor good like the other two shows. The prequel was Quack Pack. DuckTales have great writing, great animation and cool story lines. This was the best of the Golden Era Disney TV cartoons (including Gummi Bears, Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck and others) Parents, definitely buy the 2 DVD box sets for your kids, this show is way better than any of the shows on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network nowadays. If you like DuckTales, check out other Golden Era shows like TaleSpin and Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers. DuckTales rocks!
