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.
