Ducktales (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

Lately I've been trying to get my kids interested in cartoons that I watched when I was a kid. Duck Tales, Dark Wing Duck, Rescue Rangers, Tail Spin, etc. Youtube is a good introduction, but the ability to buy these on DVD is fantastic. My kids (ages 3 and 5) are entertained even though these are drastically different from cartoons that are made today. They seem to really enjoy Duck Tales, so we bought this DVD for a recent road trip. This bought us several hours of viewing time in the car. The 3 year old is still a little young to pay attention to an entire movie (even an 80 minute Disney movie). He gets bored in the middle. Twenty two minute episodes of these will hold his attention...and they even get some giggles!
As a parent, it's a bonus that I get to rewatch some of the cartoons I grew up with. There are so many jokes that I didn't appreciate as a kid (like the space episode when the actor/astronaut speaks like William Shatner the entire time? Hilarious!)
Also, I've seen that Disney is going to start making and releasing new episodes of Duck Tales in 2017. What better introduction than watching a few of the classics? I these DVDs, they're packed with tons of episodes, and they've been wonderful for road trips. Highly recommend for nostalgic reasons!
Stylistically, this material is Classic Carl Barks, and you can see this in the Gladstone series comics ( either the ones from 15 or more years ago, which were in themselves reprints, or the higher quality ones out currently). I don't know why the stories were re-written in the manner that they were, but they seemed to follow a very patterned structure. And for some unknown reason, Donald is hardly seen at all ... this affects the Adult viewers since Donald has been , at least historically, the most popular of the Ducks. I assume that a story "model" was created, where in some stories that had a mystical bent, SWEET DUCK OF YOUTH, the mysticism is taken out ( and the use of the Caverns is gone too).However MASTER OF THE DJINNI, PEARL OF WISDOM , and HOME SWEET HOMER, all have a specific "Magic" or "Magical" leaning. However, the majority of the stories that are true Bark's flights of fancy, are all closer to the Sci-Fi Model of the short form story.
Anyways, this is an A-Grade Video watch ... if you cannot get a good video signal, then its time for a new TV or a New DVD player. The only thing that needs upgrading is the DVD's audio. Its a pity that Disney clearly aimed this at the kids market, and have not bothered to edit the audio to 5.1 surround, which they clearly have the technology to do; Otherwise, Any fan of the one and ( unfortunately) only DUCKTALES, needs to buy this set. And, for the Adult fans, as well as the kids, look at the Gladstone reprints !!! Available now, from Amazon, they are VERY much worth the price.
ENJOY
