For several years now, "DuckTales" reruns have been missing from television or at best relegated to odd hours on the digital cable network Toon Disney. Revisiting the series for the first time in over a decade proved to quite a pleasant experience for me. Any aging undergone since last watching "DuckTales" is bound to have had a much greater effect on viewers than the show. It holds up as diverting, involving, and a generally good time. For the purposes of this review, I received the DVD less than a week before release date, which meant plowing through the more than ten hours of episodes as quickly as possible. Even in this less than leisurely viewing fashion, these episodes provided entertainment above and beyond what you would expect of a daily cartoon series created in 1987 or today.
While the Disney studio has exhausted most of its theatrically-released film catalogue on DVD, it has barely scrapped the surface of its rich original television programming vaults. With this 3-disc, 27-episode Volume 1 set, "DuckTales" becomes only the second Disney cartoon series to receive DVD release in comprehensive multi-disc format. (The first was "Gargoyles", released in December of last year with little promotion and no use of the "Disney" name.) The box promises "Episodes 1-27" and that is very nearly true. The episodes are arranged by original airdate, as per Bill Cotter's useful but out-of-print resource The Wonderful World of Disney Television. However, the 5-part pilot episode "Treasure of the Golden Suns" is nowhere to be found. It was later shown as five separate episodes (titled "Don't Give Up the Ship", "Wronguay in Ronguay", "Three Ducks of the Condor", "Cold Duck", and "Too Much of a Gold Thing"), but as it established the premise of the series and aired first, its absence makes very little sense. One can only hope it is present on a future set and I can't imagine it wouldn't be, but then again I can't imagine why it is not included here.
DISC 3
19. "Top Duck" (22:47) (Originally aired October 15, 1987)
Launchpad has been embarrassed enough to avoided his family for years, but his skilled high-flyer parents and sister are in town for the McX Air Show, making Launchpad as nervous as ever. Also present for the festivities are everyone's favorite Italian caricature Benzino Gasolini and the Beagle Boys, whose sights are, as always, set on Scrooge's money bin.
20. "Pearl of Wisdom" (22:45) (Originally aired October 16, 1987)
Scrooge and the shrewd smuggler Sharkey (the great Pete look-alike) both head for the isolated Banana Island
where the possession of a magical pearl at sunlight promises to grant them the power of infinite wisdom. Setting them back is the fact that Webby is using the pearl as a Masher for a marbles tournament.
21. "The Curse of Castle McDuck" (22:46) (Originally aired October 19, 1987)
Scrooge takes his nephews to visit his family's old home in Scotland, where everyone seems to run off upon hearing the name "McDuck." It turns out the ancestral home is haunted by a glowing dog and some seemingly ghastly hooded druids.
22. "Launchpad's Civil War" (22:47) (Originally aired October 20, 1987)
Launchpad is excited when he is asked to play his great-great grandfather Rhubarb McQuack in a civil war re-enactment. His spirit is slightly soured by learning that his ancestor was not so heroic and that the fellow performers are expecting to embarrass the clumsy pilot.
23. "Sweet Duck of Youth" (22:47) (Originally aired October 21, 1987)
After being treated to a surprise birthday party, Scrooge underscores his vitality by taking Launchpad and the boys down for an expedition...in search of Ponce De Loon's Fountain of Youth.
Scrooge is befuddled by the Terra-Firmians in "Earth Quack." Huey, Louie, Dewey, Scrooge, and Homer reach the shore in "Home Sweet Homer." The Bermuda Triangle doesn't look like a lot of fun unless you're just wacky about seaweed.
24. "Earth Quack" (22:46) (Originally aired October 22, 1987)
Upon learning that his money bin is located directly above a fault line, Scrooge and the nephews tunnel underground to discover the Terra-Fermians, round-ish beings who pass the time by rolling around and, in turn, causing earthquakes above.
25. "Home Sweet Homer" (22:46) (Originally aired October 23, 1987)
While out at sea searching for the lost city of Ithaquack, an errant storm from the evil sorceress Circe puts Scrooge and his nephews back at the start of the 11th Century B.C. They meet Homer, the nephew of Ulysses, and try to reunite him with Queen Ariel in the face of Circe's pig-transforming spells.
26. "Bermuda Triangle Tangle" (22:46) (Originally aired October 26, 1987)
After one of Scrooge's ships vanishes in the Bermuda Triangle for the third time in two years, his nephews and he travel down there to check things out. They discover a hopeless, seaweed-sustained community of castaways led by the brutish and sarcastic Captain Bounty.
27. "Micro Ducks From Outer Space" (22:45) (Originally aired October 27, 1987)
Scrooge is glad to hear that Gyro has made contact with intergalactic beings, chiefly because they plan to take an overload of wheat off his hands. Defying excited expectations, the aliens are actually quite miniscule compared to Scrooge and his nephews. With their handy molecular manipulator, however, the aliens are able to change the size of the wheat as well as their currency (jewels) to carry off the trade. Upon leaving, they forget their molecular manipulator, and before you can say "Wayne Szalinski", Scrooge, his nephews and Webby are tiny specks who look up to ants and have trouble treading an ordinary rug. It should be pointed out that their pint-sized adventures to be restored predate the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids theatrical release by nearly two full years.
