Product Description The world's wealthiest duck brings his high-flying escapades home to DVD with DUCKTALES. Scrooge McDuck has a nose for business that leads him to the far corners of the world, but even this tycoon has his hands full when nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie join the fun. Joined by their loyal pals Launchpad McQuack, Gyro Gearloose, Mrs. Beakley, and Webby Vanderquack, the DUCKTALES gang never fails to deliver a wealth of adventure. Whether searching for the Fountain of Youth, traveling back in time to the days of King Arthur's Round Table, or being accidentally launched into outer space -- you can always bank on Scrooge and the boys to keep the thrills coming. Get ready for a fortune of fun with some of the most memorable DUCKTALES episodes ever on 3 discs. It's a feather-raising quack-up that you and your family will treasure. .com 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

In my 30's
I was watching duck tails in my 30's. I am a kid when it comes to cartoons. In the new ones I didn't like how they changed the voices to Huey,dewey and louie. The original duck tails I love đź’ź

Nostalgia at its best!
Nostalgia of the late 80s & early 90s. At 30 years old, there’s just some cartoons we never grow out of. Duck tales is one of many. I’ve seen tne rebooted duck tales and I’m sorry to say I am less than pleased with it. The new version is too “white coloring” and hewy, lewy, and dewy all have different voices. For this reason I decided to go OG and buy the originals on dvd. The dvd is great and brings back so many childhood memories. However a small complaint and I’m not sure if it’s my tv or the dvds the sound quality on all 3 seasons (9cds total, 3 cds in each season) all of them the sound is super low volume I have to turn my tv well up into the 50s and 60s range and I hear other dvds and programs comfortably at a sound volume of 8 to 12, just to give you an idea of how high I have to turn it up. Secondly, I’m counting 75 episodes total listed on all 9 dvds but in total only show 70 episodes. Where’s the other 5? Not sure. Was it an error during manufacture or did I get a defective copy? Also the episodes are not in order as released. So that’s a bummer. Other than these 3 things I can’t say enough good things about owning these. I still think they’re worth the money for the price. They’re pretty cheap right now and for some reason you’d think buying all 3 seasons in a set would be cheaper but it was buying them individually, I saved lots of money. I paid about $25 for all 3 releases vs $43 amazon wants for the set. Maybe those ones include something I’m unaware about, or maybe they’re newer. I’m not sure. I can say this, if you want to be transported back to your childhood I recommend getting duck tales on dvd. My 8 year old son, enjoys watching duck tales on dvd and it’s mommy and daddy recommended vs the junk they play on today’s tv. We now live in a virtual world of iPhones iPads computers and even tv shows make no sense and have no simple life lessons and teach nothing good or positive, what’s your child going to learn with today’s tv? Whatever happened to cartoons with a lesson or a meaning to it and simple cartoons without all the fancy effects and graphics. Call me old school, I will raise my kids on ducktales, Tom & jerry, rugrats, Doug, little bear, out of the box, and Gullah Gullah island, tiny toons etc...I recommend ducktales to anyone of all ages. This show never gets old. One day I do hope they re-release as a complete series. t first I thought I in fact did own the complete series but that’s not the case. Still, but this you won’t be disappointed.

A wonderful throwback!!
This is such a wonderful set of Duck Tales episodes! Sure, it's not in chronological order. I don't remember that being an issue when I was watching as a kid. They don't need to be seen in order...they are completely 100% stand alone episodes! Not sure why they were released this way, but I have no complaints.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!
