Donald Duck has been a part of American culture for decades, and his
nephews have been in the limelight for nearly as long. They run poor
Donald to a frazzle, though he often deserves it. "Ducktales" affords
Donald some long awaited R and R as his mischievous nephews go to live
with their miserly uncle, the Scottish billionaire Scrooge McDuck. As
the accumulator of such a vast amount of wealth, he is often the target
of thieves and big-time operators looking to put him out of business.
Luckily, Huey, Dewey and Louie have the energy and ingenuity to get
their aging uncle out of every mess he finds himself in. He is also
assisted by his faithful butler, his doting housekeeper, his clumsy
personal pilot Launchpad, and his niece Webby.
The ducks'
adventures take them all around the world, from the pyramids to desert
islands to the fountain of youth. Each episode is crammed with about as
much adventure as a half-hour episode can take. And while the youngsters
love getting into trouble, they also care about their uncle and focus
most of their energy into making sure that nothing bad happens to him.
Right from the first notes of the catchy theme song, this show is just
the way to get the day started. With great animation, fun music and high
adventure, it's one of the best cartoons out there.
