- DuckTales is an animated television series produced by Disney Television Animation. The original cartoon series premiered on syndication and on Disney Channel on September 18, 1987 and ran for a total of 100 episodes while also helping to create The Disney Afternoon block.
In this video, we'll take a deep dive into the fascinating history of the beloved animated series DuckTales. From its origins as a Disney comic book to its transformation into a hit TV show in the late 1980s, we'll explore how this classic tale of adventure, friendship, and family captured the hearts of viewers young and old.
But that's not all - we'll also explore the risky decision made by Disney to invest a whopping $20 million into the production of Ducktales, at a time when many in the industry thought that animated TV shows were on the decline. We'll look at how this bold move paid off, not just in terms of ratings and merchandise sales, but in the lasting impact DuckTales has had on pop culture, including the fight it caused between Fox and Disney that led to the creation of Fox Kids.
Join us as we uncover the behind-the-scenes stories, creative decisions, and lasting legacy of DuckTales, and discover how this $20 million risk became one of the most beloved animated shows of all time.

I'm amazed at your strength of will. No idea how you could keep saying DuckTales without subconsciously adding a "Woohoo!"
It's not possible so they must have just edited it out
by the end of the video it became a nervous tick, an involuntary reflex like hiccups or the jimmy legs that Dan couldnt get rid of. Now, whenever theres a moment of silence in his home, the air grows tense as he inevitably blurts out "whoohoo!" and he begins to sob quietly, wondering if he'll ever be free. 😳
That does take some serious internal fortitude.
It's even harder when you take a shot everything he says "DuckTales"!!! 🥃🦆💰
I'm pretty sure the title was originally "Duck Tales: Woohoo!" but is another victim of the Mandela Effect.
A bunch of years ago, me and a friend were leaving a punk concert on Red River Road, just off 6th in Austin Texas. The street was filled with folks finding food or walking to their car after last call. 3 drunk girls were singing the DuckTales theme. When they got to the Woo-ooo part, everyone on the block, about 100+ punks, metalheads, even UT trust fund kids, all sang along. The woo-oo is great uniter.
That Japanese commercial just brainwashed me into "needing" a Launchpad plushie in less than 30 seconds. Impressive.
I grew up watching Ducktales. Rescue Rangers. Darkwing Duck. All of it. But the 2017 Ducktales was a masterpiece. It had no right being as good as it was. I was genuinely sad it ended.
i wanted to like it, i tried. but i just couldn't get into the reboot
When Disney announced a DuckTales reboot I was TERRIFIED they would ruin it like they've ruined so much before. I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing it turned out though and now I'm annoyed that Disney canceled it. They actually pulled off a proper reboot, building towards its own shared Disney Afternoon universe and they canceled. It's always one step forward, two steps back with Disney.
@@NihilusShadow
I'm sure they'll have something on Disney+ eventually/unfortunately.
But given how little care they've done with other stuff they've thrown up there I feel like it will have a bigger budget but will probably piss off fans more the next time.
The 2017 reboot is also strangely more faithful to Carl Barks' and Rosa's stories. You'd think it's the other way around, but no.
Agreed. The reboot was amazing. I wish it would have transcended into a different show after it ended focusing on the wider world it had build
man TMS was really a powerhouse in the late 80's / early 90's... almost all the best intros and episode animation from shows I watched were made by them
"Work smarter, not harder"
"Any crash you walk away from is a good one"
One of my all time favorite shows.
30+ years and that song is still firmly living rent free in my mind. Woo-oo. And I’m not mad about it. Woo-oo.
Interesting what happened with the Jets after they were passed over. Mark Mueller's theme for "Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers" came up the same way on TV, but the Jets got to perform a full-length recording for "behind-the-scenes" clips and for soundtrack releases.
The shows were incredible, but I swear, whoever wrote the theme songs to these Disney cartoons outdid themselves! Gummi Bears, Ducktales, Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Talespin, Darkwing Duck, all those theme songs live rent free in my head. I can almost imagine the execs telling the composer, "No need to go overboard, it's just some kid's show about ducks that go on adventures" and then the composer writing one of the best, most catchiest tunes that has been inside my head for more than 30 years, lol.
Disney's been doing that ever since Mickey Mouse first sang "Minnie's Yoo Hoo."
Ah yes now i wana use ducktales theme for my ringtone 😁
I loved getting home from school and watching Ducktales, Tailspin and Tiny Toons every day. Great times that weren't properly appreciated at the time.
Every. Day.
The Disney afternoon
It's only when we look back years later, do we realise how good they were.
"Larry, I'm on DuckTales." LMAO I forgot all about that
Ducktales is a gem. I'm glad the Remastered version had all the original cast lend their voices.
Yep, it was good to get the original Scrooge one more time. And now I'm sad. :'(
Yeah. I remember when the game came out, and some players were complaining about it having "too much talking". And I was like, come on, it's the original 90+ year old people who are doing the voices, one last time!
Exactly. I didn’t like the talking either, in terms of gameplay. But it was a special case and a cekebration of property. The original game still exists.
Actually.....it did not; the voices of Gyro, Glomgold, and Gizmo Duck had all passed away before the Remastered game came out; just putting that out there.
@@KingRandor82 same with mrs Beasley. But the point was they got everyone still able to contribute. The way some reviewers dismissed it was irritating. Although now I doubt they even have jobs complaining about games so the balance has been restored
Carl Barks and Ducktails made me love all the Disney Ducks
Carl Barks made the Duck universe the greatest Disney creation imaginable.
As a 47 y/o, this one in my top 4 best cartoons in 1987!
48 y/o here, and yeah, that's definitely our generation. (Although I guess some millennials might want to claim a stake, too, mistakenly.)
@@fryke Lol, yeah you're prob right about those millenials.
My kids love this as well as TaleSpin, Goof Troop and Darkwing Dark. I wish Disney+ would get off their duff and put the animated Aladdin series on the channel.
@@Karateka1973 Yeah. It could replace that Marvel Phase 4 garbage (keep Shang-Chi though).
Mickey's Christmas Carol 1983 is what truly kicked it off, it brought Scrooge McDuck back into the public consciousness.
Toy Galaxy covering DuckTales! WHOOH OOH!
The recent animated series had a very different visual style, but made some deep references to the original comics.
Then I'm definitely gonna enjoy it
Because I have read every single story Carl barks has ever written
No really
I loved the original DuckTales! Even found it on DVD set 1-3 at Walmart
Ooh I snatched up that bad boy when I saw it. 😁
@@Solidus78 same here! High fives!
That neon gundam looks so sick
Gargoyles was definitely my favorite Disney Afternoon show but much respect to Chippendale Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck
Wait, there was an animated furniture rescue group?
I mean, there was the evil Chairface Chippendale on the animated Tick, but an entire squad of hero armoires, tables and fainting couches?
AMAZING!
@@neosquirrel oh its a typo
@@neosquirrel Sure, they fight the forces of the evil Ottoman Empire. (Another Tick joke.)
Talespin was tight.
All I have to do is hear the words “Duck Tales” and immediately the song starts playing in my head “life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg”…… great show and great theme song, the other great show was “Chip and Dale’s Rescue Rangers” which also had a great theme song
I consider this one of my favorite eras of shows. Ducktales, Talespin, Rescue Rangers, as far as I am concerned, the intro songs can live rent free in my head for years to come. Still mad that Talespin was cut short--there were threads still usable for story!
And was that a Launchpad toy I saw in that commercial?
Gotta say, the Reboot was pretty amazing. The changes to Webby alone propel it far past the original show.
That show was such a staple of my childhood. Also having two brothers it was pretty easy for each of us to pick a nephew and then we were color coded for the next 20 years.
Hearing that all three were voiced by the same person even though I probably should have known that is certainly gratifying for some reason.
The one thing I thought they did an okay but not great job with Huey Dewey and Louie was differentiating their personalities. They were mostly whatever colors they were and that's how you could tell who was talking.
It was a lot easier with just one brother: Mario & Luigi, Sonic & Tails, Mickey & Donald! LOL
Couple of honorable mentions: Wuzzles came up along with the Gummi Bears. Disney hoped it could cash in on the plush, stuffed animal craze that birthed Care Bears and many others. A June Foray should be in that list of notable voice actors. She was one of the greats.
Ducktales Remastered is always a bittersweet play for me. The last time hearing Alan Young as Scrooge and Foray as Magica. It's like finding a video of your grandparents singing a Christmas carol back before you knew the last time would be the Last Time.
I admit Ducktales cast a long shadow for animation, features and television. Eisner's bet paid off. Without earlier works like the Wuzzles, Gummi Bears and Ducktales we wouldn't have The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and the Lion King. But the second special ingrediant also came from a Sat AM wonder called "Muppet Babies."
Someone who remembers The Wuzzles exists. There are dozens of us, dozens!
I loved the Wuzzles
The fact that a large Japanese animation company helped with all these shows is a revelation to explaining my inbuilt fandom to anime it seems. I realize it was very common and shows like GI Joe/ThunderCats obviously did the same thing but it's no less true.
I think we would have had The Little Mermaid, that would have already been in production before Ducktales was a thing. What we wouldn't had was Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Tailspin, or the most epic of them all Gargoyles.
I think it was also the last time Chuck McCann played his respective characters as well. It's a shame we never got a Darkwing Duck Remastered follow up.
Ducktales was my introduction to Disney cartoons on TV and I was surprised it was on Fox 2 in my local area. It even aired before the Fox Kids block until the show ended its syndication.
Not only did the NES game have solid play mechanics and capture the style and atmosphere of the show well, but hearing the iconic theme play on the title screen always got anybody in the mood. One of the shortcomings of the NES was that it couldn't handle music tracks with vocals, but fortunately the Ducktales theme is still almost as upbeat and catchy as a chiptune.
I would definitely say the chip tune version is the one I think of most.
Just because I've played more of that game than I recently watched the original show. It's still such an absolutely great game as is the sequel.
Who ever made the Music for the NES game did an amazing job. The Moon Theme is my favorite NES music ever made.
@@Rejinx if we ever go back to the moon they should play that theme on the background
The 1980s version of Duck Tales remains the one to beat. Uncle Scrooge McDuck’s one of my fave Disney characters ever. The remake just doesn’t do justice to the original series.
I somehow still have very strong memories of getting Treasure of the Lost Lamp on VHS in one of those Disney clamshell boxes for my 6th birthday in 1992. I don't remember the series as much, but I must have watched that tape SO MANY TIMES when I was little...
As soon as you mentioned the theme song I reflexively went "wooo hoooo"
I keep seeing people writing “woo hoo”.
I’m I crazy? Is it not, “a-woo-oo”?
"DuckTales" was definitely my favorite of these shows as a kid, after that was "Chip N' Dale's Rescue Rangers" and "Tailspin."
The original and the new ones are so great. I still love ducktales. And the game was beyond amazing
I like how the reboot brought many of the characters together including my favorite Darkwing Duck. It was sad that the Rescue Rangers only got a cameo. I grew up watch the original on satellite feeds with the other Disney shows, usually five eps of a series back-to-back. Would have love to have seen the reboot kept going. I could see Huey working with the Rescue Ranger in an ep.
It would've been cool if there was a episode where Chip and Dale made a deal with Donald to not fight anymore, lol.
(If you remember the classic shorts.)
I would actually like to know why the 2017 reboot was canceled. I have lots of guesses but my most likely one would be that it was always going to be interest with Disney+.
I'm willing to bet we'll see another version of DuckTales show up on that service sooner than later.
Ah, DuckTales. One of the shows from my childhood that always comforts me no matter what. Loved it then, still love it now and even enjoyed the 2017 reboot a lot.
The comic books changed the game of comics and influenced MANGA... And laid the groundwork for the show. That can't be taken away from the creator of the comic books 🤘🏽😎. His name doesn't get dropped enough
What Disney is doing right now it's really sad... they are no longer the animated/film company I remember back growing up. 😥
I mean I don't even know what current Disney even is anymore.
It doesn't really have an identity and is completely floating along on it's other intellectual properties like Marvel and Star Wars. And of course making terrible live action CGI horror shows based on their old classic movies.
exactly, we can only imagine what that author of the article mentioned in the video would write about todays Disney.
@@hitpeppens2932
It's amazing how often I think that when I see reviews of old stuff and think how if you only knew what was coming.
Duck tales will always be a classic and your content is still one of the best out here. That shirt tho Dan Larsen!!. Lmfao right now!.. thanks for the vid..
DuckTales, Gummi Bears, Darkwing Duck, then Tale Spin and Bonkers. That's my order, and I'm sticking to it!
I Don’t remember bonkers
Darkwing Duck is my favorite Disney Afternoon series after Ducktales. Great job guys and I love the new branding to Secret Galaxy.
Love how you included the connection to Fox Kids. I grew up with Disney Afternoon, Fox Kids and Kids’ WB! I feel like us fans were spoiled and I miss all three lineups.
If I may suggest a video, how about The Rise and Fall of Kids’ WB!? I feel like it surpassed Fox Kids over time and was such a good lineup. Thanks again folks and keep the awesome work coming please!
Loved duck tales and the theme song, was also one of the lucky stiffs that got to see the Disney Afternoon live stage show at Mickey''s Starland in Disney World at the height of Disney afternoon mania
Wow! I never knew Ducktales was the influence for Indiana Jones. And I also never knew it's success would be that important to other Fox cartoon IP's. I do however know Disney's 2D animation team and theme song department were knocking it out of the park, back then! 🤩
Yeah they were! Duck Tales has one of the all time best cartoon themes and they followed that up with Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck. I do believe all three cartoon themes were made by the same person/people. Good times!
Indiana Jones came out BEFORE Duck Tales.
@@RichO1701e it was the comic books, not the show that was some not all the inspiration for Indy, but a lot of it just like Star Wars George Lucas got from old action adventure movie serials from the 30's, 40's, and early 50's.
@@archangel5627 Don't forget "Gummi Bears!"😀
Disney animated show themes were absolutely tops in the late 80s early 90s. As good if not a little better than Shuki Levi of Saban fame.
It took 9 minutes to realize the duck duck goose joke. I need that shirt now.
I still remember the intro, probably one of the best cartoon ones in history (along with the Saber Riders, Transformers and MASK).
The Donald Duck universe became more popular and left more of an impact on entertainment than expected. Long live the universe and the Ducktales franchise.
I loved me some ducktales..
Chip n Dale and darkwing duck had to be some of my favorite shows growing up.
The timing on the first "Woo hoo!" Was masterful, I said it out loud at exactly the same time.
Disney Afternoon kid here- Duck Tales was my favorite show (followed by Rescue Rangers), and I love the reboot! Great video! I want to read the book 🎉
Wow, it is heart breaking to hear that DuckTales movie didn't break even considering it was one of my favorite Disney movies and that's including all the ones I've seen afterwards.
I was 4 when Ducktales premiered, and was already a huge fan of Donald Duck shorts. It was practically everything to me for a time. I have an original animation cel of Uncle Scrooge with his #1 Dime on my wall right now. I also have a fan made cel of the 2017 Scrooge. Child me loved the '87 series, but it's very of its time. The 2017 series is everything that the the '87 series was in my memory.
Grew up with the VHS of the movie & new episdes on tv, loved it from the get go! Still an amazing series.
Awesome! I didn’t know the older comics were so fundamental for the show. Very cool.
Fav other: Darkwing Duck, hands down.
And who let Gizno try to dress himself?! Lol
Fun fact: the original comics actually feature Donald quite prominently in many episodes of the show that he never made appearances in. Incidentally, I'd rank the original comics as equal to the quality of the series, or in some cases, *even better* ! There were some episodes that--when you read the original comic it was based on--just feel utterly dumbed down from the source material. Like...imagine an episode you didn't think was that good; if it was based on one of the comic stories, it was likely *really* good there, and somehow just didn't translate properly.
Personally I'm quite weak for the worldbuilding of The Gummi Bears, but Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck are also favorites.
That neon sign is awesome it looks like the RX-78 mixed with Shin Getter Robo
Tale Spin, 100% I liked the others (especially Gummi Bears--I'm a medievalist!), but I loved the quasi-DieselPunk vibe of Tale Spin. I never saw The Jungle Book all the way through (and still haven't, in any version!), but I liked the characters as portrayed in Tale Spin. I still quote it (e.g. answering the phone "Louie's Place--it's your dime"), some of the new characters were spectacular (Wildcat especially!), and I think that Don Carnage and the pirates are one of the best things that ever happened to animated television, not to mention the soundtrack was fabulous. Shere Khan as a corportate mogul was a masterpiece, and the whole thing was just great!
Awesome video! Quick correction: The name of the DuckTales score composer was Ron Jones, not Johnson. Speaking of the score I've been longing for ages for it to be released, either on CD, digital, heck even vinyl if they can't swing those.
Rescue Rangers is still my #1 Disney Afternoon show, if not one of my Top Ten animated shows of all time! I always liked Ducktales, but just was never wild about it like I was with RR. That said, Ducktales 2017 is a master class on how to do a reboot right (Along with Spectacular Spiderman.) Interesting to learn that's what spawned Fox Kids. Awesome vid!
Great video. Running home to watch the Disney afternoon is one of my earliest memories. Good times, good times.
Interesting time to change the channel name since a certain great host has hit it big by appearing on the History Channel in their Toys series. Congrats Dan. And I still haven't recovered from the cancelation of the rebooted series. It was so much fun.
It was, but I'd rather have a series be allowed to come in for a soft landing than watch it collapse in due to being stretched too thin.
@@andrejg4136
I'm inclined to also believe that they also plan to bring it back onto Disney+ at some point probably sooner than later. Honestly Disney channel is a weird husk of its former self. I don't really understand what it's purpose is now.
okay first off that neon Gundam sign is epic! more on topic, Ducktales was absolutely one of my favorite Disney Afternoon shows ! and that first video game on NES, I still fire up from time to time in The Disney Afternoon Collection on my PC! which I will definitely fire up again at some point in the near future to give it another play through. (the updated remake was great too getting to hear the OG cast one final time!)
Duck tails, tiny toons, & Animaniacs were my fav toons growing up
Gummi Bears! Love that show, theme song, and the candy!
Looking forward to Ken’s book! I have his Go Team Venture! Book and it is amazingly detailed.
"Well what's a luxury to you?"
"I don't know, a private plane?"
"Larry, I'm on Duck Tales"
God I love that.
Great NES game
The Outer Space level had awesome music.
Legit 💪
The moon stage theme in the duck tales game is so iconic it appeared in the 2016 duck tales reboot series
Gameboy port was amazing too
The new Duck Tales actually paid homage to the Gummi Bears by having gummi-berry juice as the central theme in one episode.
Carl Barks and later Don Rosa's Donald Duck comics were the best. It was always great to find those comics to read as a kid and later as an adult. Every time the Finnish Donald Duck magazine had stories from either of them I read them instantly. I enjoyed the Ducktales reboot but never watched the original Ducktales. Duckverse was mainly the comics to me. Thanks for another good video!
Haven't watched this yet (just saw the video title), but I love the topic!
These videos are so excellent.
Two fun facts: Alan Young, the voice of Scrooge McDuck, was also known as Wilbur Post on the TV show "Mister Ed". And Emmy Cicierega, sister to famed internet star Neil Cicirega, wrote and created storyboards for the 2017 reboot of Ducktales
And there's an episode of the original series called "Horse Sense" where Scrooge buys a prized racing horse ;)
Dan Larson is great at his delivery. Another amazing video. I Iove and appreciate the research that goes into your content. Secret Galaxy should do a video on the cartoon, James Bond Jr.
No more "Toy Galaxy"? 1:10
I think I need to mention this again, if I haven't mentioned before in one of my comments. Hands down, yours is the best TH-cam series going. Thank you again.
I have been binging Ducktales for the last week, its irony you did an episode on it.
All the Disney Afternoon shows were fantastic, but my personal favorites besides DuckTales are Darkwing Duck and Gargoyles!
That shirt is amazing.
Sean Connery in the Last Crusade has strong Scrooge McDuck energy.
Or
The reboot is surprisingly good my son got me to watch it
While I loved the reboot, there were several aspects about it I still very much preferred about the original, such as how Glomgold and Magica were played; they were too silly for me in the reboot, even though there were some aspects of Glomgold I liked in the reboot as well; Gyro, flat-out the original series. Most of the other aspects, I just felt they each gave the series its own flavor, and I was fine with them as they were.
@@KingRandor82 I agree with u on Glomgold. Magica, disagree. I feel like she has a great balance of being goofy and more threatening than she was in the 80s version.
@@exeggutivejudge3747Magica *looked* better in the 2017 version to me; the minute she opened her mouth, however, it was like listening to the "cool aunt" texting "lol" to her niece. I just kept expecting June Foray to come out. Her silly was played up waaaay too much for me. When June Foray did it, it was like an experience; she *embodied* the character, to me.
@@KingRandor82 All this being said then, how did u like her as a the Big Bad of S1 then? I still feel that was Magica's BEST appearance in the reboot to date before they turned into TOO much of a joke later on in the series.
@@exeggutivejudge3747 it was mostly good, except for her "backstory", and the voice....
As someone who loves Donald Duck, loved the reboot and the underrated Legend of the Three Caballeros, his absence makes it really hard for me to care about the original show.
Having TMS involved with the animation explains why I had a built in love for anime that goes farther back than when I knew what anime even was or even the concept of it.
I feel like Disney afternoon somehow was my back door introduction to it which is weird but also incredibly awesome. The '80s and '90s were truly awesome.
What a fantastic episode. One of my favorites when I was younger. But the real star of the video is that Duck, Duck, Goose shirt lmfao.
Dan's shirt is epic. 🤣
Such a great video!
I LOVED the series, and even recorded the intro on a tape recorder and presented it for show and tell in elementary school.
I learned so much about the world as they explored so many popular topics (Bermuda Triangle, the yeti, the city of gold, earthquakes, etc.)
For the Disney afternoon, Talespin was my next favorite series.
The Disney Block Party (Ducktales, Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers, Talespin, and Darkwing Duck) was THE BOMB.
That block party was an amazing tradition.
Thank you so much for making this video!
Not mentioned in your video but why hasn't the beloved Soundtrack from Ducktales never been released? The score from Ducktales the movie was released in 2019 and is now out of print!
I remember a few kids in my school thinking the song went "Ducktales, new!" because it was a new show. So that's how they'd sing it.
You're not wrong, and they should have promoted it like such.
Aw man I can't even explain how much I Duck Tales & Gummi Bears. Listen I know all these shows were made for toys & to sale movie tickets but for little kids like I was they were in our hearts & never left even now I think of Duck Tales & adventures I'll admit I can't stop tearing up. I loved those shows & I looove those theme songs it was so much heart in the shows & the theme songs I remember them now. I don't have the words to tell u. The good feelings that are promoted they last, it's heart my friends pure heart thats what I needed as a little dude
LOVE the Duck, Duck, Goose t-shirt. Gummi Bears, Duck Tales, Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers, Talespin, and Darkwing Duck, were key parts of my childhood. I also loved Bobby's World and think that aside from Hook, Peter Pan and the Pirates was my favorite adaptation of the source material.
Throughout this entire 18:09 video I was singing the Ducktales theme on loop. Awesome video Dan and glad to see you on the History channels “The Toys That Built America.”
Ohhhhh the "MULTIVERSE CLAP"........it cracks me up everytime. Trying to remember the first video you did that, its hilarious
"every crook, criminal and corporation, that's redundant"
Best line ever
The Scrooge comics inspired Tuomas Holopainen of the band Nightwish to write and record an album called "The Life and Times of Scrooge" in 2014. And it is amazing.
One of the greatest TV show theme songs of all time. I still watch DuckTales now and then.
Check out Hall and Oates "Make my Dreams Come True"
One of my favorite movies growing up was the Ducktales magic lamp movie. I had no idea that it wasn't a well loved classic!
Dear God! That shirt is GLORIOUS!
Thinking of Huey Duey and Louie as being Gen Xers is truly hilarious.
Never has there been a better shirt worn during a TH-cam video about ducktales. 👏
The Ducktales theme was the first song I learned to play by slapping the bass.
Darkwing and Gargoyles were my two favorite later Disney Afternoon cartoons.
dude! im wearing that exact same shirt RIGHT NOW! now i know im cool. also ducktales was good, gummi bears was the best, yadda yadda yadda
My school bus would drop me off at home just before 4 o'clock, and thus my afternoon break consisted of a bowl of sugary cereal, usually either Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Fruity Pebbles, along with DuckTales at 4 and Double Dare at 4:30, both on Fox 26. What a great time to be a 9-year-old!
The Scorpions/Ducktales musical sting was art.
Woo-Ooo.
got me 4 times with that
Disney Afternoon is not a shared universe....
Except Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas directly references Ducktales, and Quack Pack does repeatedly as well! Goof troop additionally has some nods to it.
After Ducktales, my favorite Disney series was Talespin which was like diesel punk for kids with a heavy influence of Hayao Miyazaki's Porco Rosso.
That theme song is still in my head.
I still know the damn lyrics.
It’s not right, I tells ya! It’s not right at all!
*sobs brokenly*
Like the new channel name. It fits better. I was confused at first lol
When I say your videos give me reason to live, I'm not exaggerating. So great as always, thanks for getting that song in my head, I needed something to replace the TMNT theme song that plays pretty much non-stop in there anyway.
