We can attribute DuckTales‘ success to a few factors – Donald Duck and his relatives are still incredibly popular (particularly in Scandinavia), kids loved the Indiana Jones-inspired fantasy adventure plotlines, and DuckTales has the most catchy theme song in history. Of the many Disney TV series airing in the late 80s/early 90s (which also included Chip n’ Dale Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, Gooftroop and TaleSpin), DuckTales was and is by far the most popular series. The TV series would be Scrooge’s second animated appearance, as he debuted as, uh, Scrooge in the Mickey’s Christmas Carol short. Once upon a time in the late 1980s, Disney launched a television series entitled DuckTales, based on the popular comic book character Scrooge McDuck, Donald’s Scottish maternal uncle who was an adventurous billionaire. WHYYYYYYYY? (Would you be surprised to learn that when I was little, this scene made me absolutely bawl?)ĭuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990) At least the clown was representing the Toaster’s own phobias, but…why? Why would you have a scene where a beautiful flower falls in love with its own reflection in the Toaster’s body, then it dies when the Toaster naturally rejects it? WHYYY.

Tough to choose between the “Killer clown in the shower” scene or the “Flower dies of a broken heart” scene (seriously, what the hell, movie) but I’ll go with the broken-hearted flower scene, because it just comes out of nowhere (wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the film’s Big Lipped Alligator Moment), and I still don’t get what the point of that scene was.

FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! (I also love It’s A ‘B’ Movie for the Peter Lorre lampshade) While the lyrics go so rapid-fire I have to rely on captions to follow along with what the cars are singing, they’re well worth paying attention to, especially since the lyrics are really well written, and, well…they’re sentient cars singing about their lives in the seconds before they’re crushed to death. The absolute best song from the film is Worthless.

And it works really well with the dark tone of this film.

It’s not your typical Disney musical in that the songs don’t really sound like Broadway, they’re more pop-rock oriented.

The soundtrack to this film is incredible. And yet, there’s something about it that makes you love it. It is a weird, weird, WEIRD movie, full of dark themes and scenes that could give the little ones nightmares at best, severe phobias at worst. This, besides Return to Oz, is the kids movie that millennials will inevitably bring up as the defining “Man, that movie was disturbing.” “Yeah, but it was AWESOME!” conversation piece of our generation.
