ANIMATION – Why You Should Watch Duck Tales

The Simpsons Quote:

“Damn that Pennybags. Between him and Scrooge McDuck all the best ankle is taken.”  ~ Mr. Burns

So, growing up in the late ’80s, early ’90s, there was one cartoon that I used to watch all the time because I couldn’t get enough of it, even in reruns, and that cartoon was DuckTales.

I talk about this in the video below.  You can either watch it or you can read the transcription below (it has pictures and I embedded the opening credit down there):

Loosely Based on a Comic Book

I really looked forward to watching DuckTales.

Now, it’s really interesting, because, DuckTales is loosely based on Carl Barks’ Scrooge McDuck comics from the 1940s, and, when they started animating DuckTales, at first, it really caught my eye because it was Indiana Jones-ish kind of adventures, but with the Disney duck.

That’s pretty much the way the comic was, except this was a slightly changed adaptation of those cartoons.

I picked up a copy of the DVD box set a year ago, maybe, just because I had fond memories.

I didn’t like the second season, what was it, I don’t know if there was a second season or if it was a third. I’m not quite sure. I know that there was a run, which is this what I own. It’s the DuckTales run I like the most.

There was a second run of the show that was actually of lesser quality.

What I Think of the Show Now

Once I picked the DVD set up, and I started watching them with my kids, I discovered they hold up so well, and they’re so well-animated and so well-written, and it’s amazing how good this show is, and it’s still fantastic.

You’ve got stuff, they riff on 1,001 Arabian Nights, they go, they fight Vikings, there’s magic in it, they go into outer space, it’s just like – it’s fantastic adventures, there are superheroes in it, I mean. It’s amazing how well-written, and how much fun this show is packed with. I’m blown away.

If you’ve got kids, or even if you don’t have kids, and if you want a really cool action-adventure, fun, family-friendly, exciting, funny cartoon to watch that isn’t the norm, I don’t think there’s anything that even comes close to matching a cartoon like this now. Adventure Time, sort of, you know, I don’t know.

This is fantastic, I mean, high quality, it still holds up, it’s really fantastic.

If you haven’t seen this, you owe it to yourself to see it, and if you have seen this, you owe it to yourself to re-watch them because they’re that good.

Have You Watched This Show?

If you’ve seen this show recently, let me know. Let me know what you think. I’d like to talk to you about it, it’s great.
