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 1
1. "Send in the Clones" (22:46) (Originally aired September 21, 1987)
Magica De Spell helps the Beagle Boys bust out of prison to retrieve Scrooge's prized #1 dime. To aid them in this task, Magica turns the jailers into clones of Scrooge's nephews. Meanwhile, a reporter writing a piece on Scrooge struggles to make sense of the madness at the McDuck mansion.
2. "Sphinx for the Memories" (22:47) (Originally aired September 22, 1987)
Donald Duck gets some time off from the Naval service to spend with Scrooge and the boys. Plans change, however, when Donald is mistaken for an Egyptian god known as the Garbled One, kidnapped, and worshipped by an entire civilization. In hopes of reuniting, Scrooge and his nephews hire a bargain tour guide with nefarious intentions.
3. "Where No Duck Has Gone Before" (22:44) (Originally aired September 23, 1987)
When a movie studio can't repay Scrooge's loan, he becomes the new owner of the studio that houses the boys' favorite TV show. A visit to the set allows Scrooge and the nephews the chance to meet Master Courage, the show's leading actor, whose mannerisms are closely and amusingly modeled after "Star Trek" captain William Shatner. When Scrooge decides the series needs to shape up, he hires Gyro to retool everything in the name of realism. Taking his job a little too far, Gyro's improvements result in Master Courage, Launchpad, the triplets, and their aptly-named friend Doofus being launched into real outer space for some close encounters of the entertaining kind.
4. "Armstrong" (22:46) (Originally aired September 24, 1987)
Gyro's latest invention, an anthropomorphic robot named Armstrong, can do everything and seemingly better than anyone else can, from rescuing Scrooge's gold train to piloting a helicopter, from cleaning the house to impressing Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Scrooge is simply amazed by Armstrong and the cost-saving changes he devises, but everyone soon learns there can definitely be too much of a good thing.
5. "Robot Robbers" (22:47) (Originally aired September 25, 1987)
Scrooge is shocked and dismayed to lose a construction bid to Flintheart Glomgold, who is boasting the new aid of towering man-operated robots designed by Gyro. When the Beagle Boys and their mother take control of the robots, they wreak havoc on Duckburg and set their sights on Scrooge's vault.
6. "Magica's Shadow War" (22:45) (Originally aired September 28, 1987)
Magica brings her shadow to life and trains it to steal Scrooge's lucky dime. But her plan goes awry when the shadow develops intentions of its own and begins multiplying to get its way. In an unlikely pairing, Scrooge and Magica team up to defeat the evil shadows.
7. "Master of the Djinni" (22:47) (Originally aired September 29, 1987)
Scrooge and his archrival Flintheart Glomgold both reach and rub Aladdin's long-missing magical lamp at the same time, leaving the genie uncertain as to who his master is. The genie devises a race between the two ducks to Duckburg Ice Cream Parlor where the winner will receive the three wishes ownership entails. Being waited on at Scrooge's mansion leads Genie to make it so he'll never have to serve anyone again
8. "Hotel Strangeduck" (22:47) (Originally aired September 30, 1987)
Scrooge fixes up and reopens an upscale hotel that he has purchased and his nephews become bellhops. Business appears to be promising until a ghost believed to belong to the hotel's founder Ludwing von Strangeduck begins haunting the staff and the two wealthy foreign guests. More than most, this episode really delivers on the mystery angle of the series.
9. "Lost Crown of Genghis Khan" (22:47) (Originally aired October 1, 1987)
Scrooge and company must battle blizzards and an unscrupulous competitor in the snowy search for Genghis Khan's longlost crown. Along the way, Webby disappears and the gang encounters a not-so-Abominable Snow-woman.
