In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Blistering performances.

My kid's been singing the new "Ducktales" theme song for the past two weeks (GoNoodle, of all places), which is the primary motivation for digging up the original show. "The Movie" is the easiest thing I could get my hands on (plus, it's got Christopher Lloyd, which even back when I was 10, perked up my ears). Turns out, it wasn't the best move, and I swear it's not because I'm a Disney cynic. But the kid really liked it.It's mostly the writing; the story oddly fell somewhere between "Aladdin" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark". But nothing really worked for me; the voice work, the low-level animation, the grating genie-turned- hip sidekick. I don't mean to be overly negative with this, but this is just about as anemic as it gets. 5/10

I recently watched the "DuckTales" movie again, because it was a slow evening, and I still have fond memories of the series since its inception in '86.I think that's why I watched the movie all the way through.Don't get me wrong, the first (and only) Disney Movietoon isn't bad as far as films go. There were just a few things that didn't sit well with me, namely the animation. It was a step beyond television animation and a step below feature film animation. The result was better use of shading and lighting, but wasn't nearly as fluid as say, "Aladdin", "Beauty and the Beast" or any of Disney's other films during the early '90's. The soundtrack didn't really detract or enhance the film, but the show's theme provided a snappy, upbeat tune to end the film with.The story itself wasn't bad, but some of the 30-minute shows seemed to have more interesting plots and faster pacing. That, and the "wacky Genie" schtick was done much better two years down the road with Robin Williams in "Aladdin". What really pulled this film through was the voice cast from the series, as they know their characters, and that's apparent. The film wisely kept its cast exclusively to the show's main characters, the genie, and the main villain and sidekick, but I got the feeling they should have all been given more to do.As I said before, it's not a bad film, and I don't know if this film will ever be re-issued by Disney, but the main strength of this film lies in how much you like Scrooge McDuck and company. The television show was the best of any of Disney's non-feature animation, and for that reason, it kept me through the film until final credits.

Okay I saw a tiny bit of this movie at the end so I want to watch the whole movie from the begging to the end I gived it a try and I found it quit good to watch its not my favorite all time Disney movie of all time but its good watch this movie is based off the TV series I have not seen the TV series before But this is the first time I saw duck tales the story is about Scoorge an old uncle of three kids who trys to find a lost treasure from an evil wizard. Animation is very like A goofy movie with nice backgrounds wonderful animation the characters are really cute and not so annoying so This movie will give a lot it may not be the best animation but its still Disney movie okay its corny for some adults but kids and some teenagers will love it and I think this has to be another very good Disney movie of the 90s I will watch the 80s TV series and I hope its good as this. I was not sure of giving this movie a 8/10 or 9/10 in my book but who knows what I give for any movie I see for my rating I give this movie a 8 out of 10. very good.

In this tale, which is roughly based on Ali Baba lore, we find Scrooge McDuck and his nephews on the trail of a magic lamp. Also on the trail is Merlock the Magician (voiced by Christopher Lloyd of 'Back to the Future'.) The film has a slight resemblance to the likes of Indiana Jones and Disney's own later film series of 'Aladdin' and 'Aladdin and the King of Thieves'. Based primarily on the television series of the same name, 'DuckTales' and created by the brand new (at the time) Disney Toon Studios and released theatrically in 1990, this is a timeless film that children and adults will both enjoy. The only downfall for those who love this film is that the only DVD release (so far) has been through the Disney Movie Club. So delightful, I gave it 10/10!
