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.”

The Series:
When my family lived overseas in the late 80’s, my grandmother would tape shows and mail them to us to watch. DuckTales was one of those shows. It was primarily for my sisters, but I was glad to watch anything that was in English. Even though I was well out of the target audience for this show, I found it entertaining. The stories were pretty good and the animation was well done. The result was a decent animated show. So I was curious to see what my kids would think of it. They sat down and watched a couple of episodes intently, so that proved to me that the show has what it takes to entertain even kids today. If you need to keep a kid busy for 618 minutes, this will do the trick.
The Extras:
There are no bonus features included on this DVD.
The Bottom Line:
DuckTales should please animation fans, Disney fans, and kids that enjoy cartoons.
