DVD Reviews of DuckTales - Volume 1
DVD Review: Is it as good as you remembered it? Yes!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sometimes childhood classics aren't as good when you watched them as an adult but Ducktalea should surpass your expectations. Not only is it as good as you remember it, you can now appreciate the creativity, humor and wholesome fun that cartoons use to have. They just don't make too many cartoons like this any more! Ductales provides: a cast of talented voice actors who have done voice acting for years (and aren't just movie actors that have asked to do cartoon voices). You get classic 80s inspired music (without robotic sounding lameness)...Ron Jones provides wonderful background music (no wonder he was chosen to do the background music for Family Guy). You get clean animation (for back in those days) and imaginative story telling. You also get humor that may be slightly cheesey at times but mostly its cleaver without being suggestive. How can you go wrong?
There are some things you see as a kid and see as an adult and realize that you probably didn't get all of those adult themes and that you really shouldn't have been watching that. This is not the case with Ducktales. You can rest assured that your children will be watching a show that they will love and that will be wholesome and not mind numbing. Watching this show reminds me of all the creativity I've lost since I've become an adult.
Bottom line: No, you will not find any extras in this set of DVDs. Instead you will find the episodes you remember watching as a kid and that I think is enough enjoyment.
DVD Review: Pleased Indeed
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, like many consumers of on-line products. I was a bit skeptical about buying on "faith" so to speak. However, I did, and could not have been more relieved. I was looking for a Disney product, knowing of its reliability to entertain w/ quality and good taste. I chose DUCKTALES from after school cartoons. Remembering how much as a kid I really enjoyed the fun and adventures. My kids (8,6,2) followed suit, the DVDs doesn't include the set up , or how Huey,Luey,and Duey came to live w/ thier Uncle Scrooge. Instead picks up from the first episode there after. Dispite, that it is a classic addition to any collection or just a good start. In closing, my order arrived even sooner than expected. I will certainly continue to use Amazon.com for it's convenience and dedication to customer satisfaction. - Pleased Indeed.DVD Review: Great cartoons
Summary: 5 Stars
Why aren't cartoons funny (without being disgusting) anymore? Great show, full of adventure, laughs and entertainment without making parents cringe. No one is dying and there are no embarassing bodily functions. Great for nostalgia or as an alternative to current programming.DVD Review: Hours and hours of fun
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter loves these. They are creative, original, and still true to the world of Scrooge McDuck and the Beagle Boys. I have watched some of them with my daughter and even I enjoy them.DVD Review: DuckTales rules !
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was a kid I used to be a big fan of DuckTales TV series. I was passing by HMV in Toronto, and found out about the DuckTales DVD volume 1, so I decided to buy it to re-live my childhood. Unfortunately, it does not show the series when Scrooge McDuck meets his nephews for the first time. Still, I enjoyed watching their adventures. My favorite character is Magica De Spell. The worse character is Launchpad McQuack. I agree with some reviewers, there were no Special Features in those DVDs.
Description of DuckTales - Volume 1
A quack-up filled with treasure hunts theif foiling & humorous adventures. Scrooge mcducks talent for making money takes him on some feather-raising adventures but when his troublesome nephews huey dewey & louie join the fun things really take a tailspin. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 11/08/2005Ducktales (1987) marked the Walt Disney Studio's entry into the afternoon syndicated-cartoon market. The series was loosely based on the imaginative adventure stories Carl Barks created for the Disney comic books, featuring Donald Duck, his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and Uncle Scrooge McDuck, a miser who possessed "five cubic acres of money." This three-disc set begins with episode #6, "Send in the Clones." (The series started with "Ducktales: Treasure of the Golden Suns," a two-hour TV movie in which Donald joins the Navy and sends Huey, Dewey, and Louie to live with their great-uncle Scrooge. This adventure was recut into the first five episodes, which are not included in this set.)
Ducktales never matched the panache of Barks's inspired original. The TV series added the whiny Webbigail and her grandmother, Mrs. Beakly, who resembled a feather pillow with a beak. Launchpad McQuack supplied mock-heroic comedy, although his prominent cleft chin made him look like a pelican. When Uncle Scrooge and his relatives scaled the Himalayas in search of the crown of Genghis Kahn in the comic book, Barks ended the story with typical irony: people weren't interested in the gold and jewels Scrooge coveted, they only wanted to hear about Gu, the abominable snowman he encountered. In the animated version, the big joke is an amorous, ugly female snowman chasing Launchpad. But these shortcomings never bothered the Gen-Y viewers who grew up watching Ducktales. (Rated TV-Y, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon
