DuckTales - Volume 1 (1987)

Is it as good as you remembered it? Yes!!!

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. September 21, 2008

Pleased Indeed

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. April 15, 2008

Great cartoons

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. March 26, 2008

Hours and hours of fun

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. January 3, 2008

DuckTales rules !

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. December 2, 2007
