Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
abalpn-99472 I've watched the episodes online and I loved the show. I was sad to hear that Alan Young passed away. He was great playing Scrooge McDuck. I love all the characters. My favorites are Launchpad and Gizmo Duck. I watched the Ducktales movie and I loved it. Christopher Lloyd played Merlock and he did a great job as the villain.The villains in the show were hilariously funny. Especially the Beagle Boys. The monsters were scary just like the one from the Bermuda Triangle and the giant walrus.I've played the original Nintendo games. Ducktales and Ducktales 2. Now I have Ducktales:Remastered. It's too bad that they didn't made a sequel ever since Alan Young's passing.I've watched the rebooted Ducktales online and they did a good job with it. I know they wanted a new generation with the viewers. I would think that the Ducktales fans enjoy watching it. In conclusion, Ducktales is still my favorite Disney cartoon.
Mahmoud S Recently having re-watched Ducktales, I can safely say it's still as good as I remember. Definitely an iconic, defining show of my generation.The stories are heavily based on the comic world created by Carl Barks, starring his most famous creation Scrooge McDuck, as well as Magica de Spell, the Beagle Boys,Gyro Gearloose, and Flintheart Glomgold among others. Unlike the comics, Donald duck is omitted from the plot (having enlisted in the navy), which doesn't impact the show's quality. Non-Barksian supporting characters in Donald's place include Launchpad Mc Quack, Webby, Mrs Beakley and Duckworth (all four are quite likable). In typical Barks fashion, the episodes follow Scrooge's love of treasure hunting and wealth accumulation, as well as protecting his fortune (safe in his money bin). Some stories are taken directly from Barks classics, such 'The Lost Crown of Genghis Khan', 'Back to the Klondike', and 'The Land of Tralla La'. They tend to be loose adaptations and some work very well, but 'Tralla La' was a disappointment (I consider the comic to be Barks' masterpiece) and thus one of the weakest episodes in the series.The animation is also lush and top notch, a characteristic of Disney TV shows of that era. I prefer the older episodes, mainly because the show later shifted focus from Scrooge and the boys to Gizmoduck (in my opinion, the show's Scrappy-Doo). Add to the mix the highly annoying Bubba- Tootsie combo and the show quickly went downhill. I do love Gizmoduck's cranky soap-addicted mother though, what a character!!As an adult, it was fun to pick up on the subtle references here and there, and it's amazing how the show's themes appeal to both adults and children. Examples include the hilarious 'Till Nephews Do Us Part', where Scrooge falls in love, and 'The Status Seeker' which addresses the concept of status and high society.If you've heard of this show and want to buy/watch it, regardless of age, I'd highly recommend and not just because I'm an 80's child.And in the highly UNLIKELY chance you have not heard the theme song, it will stick for YEARS.
Dark_Lord_Mark 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
Rectangular_businessman This show was awesome ! it was one of the best Disney animated shows . It was funny ,light -hearted and it made a great work with the characters . In this show ,Scrooge Mc.Duck and his nephews Juey Dewey and Louie have many adventures looking for treasures in different parts of the world . They also will have to deal with villains as Flintehart Glomgold ,Magica De Spell and the Beagle boys .To that they will have the help of Launchpad Mc Quack and others . All the characters of the show were great even the villains . The animation was good ,it is much better than the modern cartoons . I liked a lot the opening song too . I'm not amazed that this show was so successful because it was very good .
