DuckTales Audience Reviews

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
amberlb 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 (:
Terryfan 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
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
ashleak6 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!
