Life is a hurricane here in Duckburg... The theme tune that was a guarantee of half an hour of fun and “Indiana Jonesy" adventures in the company of extremely agreeable feathered friends. Most of the good old Disney series (mainly the Gummi Bears and Chip ‘n Dale’s Rescue Rangers) were very good, but none of them was nearly as good as Duck Tales. Even despite the fluctuating quality of the episodes. But most of it still works decently today even without a nostalgic prism, let alone with one.

A children's show that is a pop culture classic, a surefire commercial bet, by which I have never been enticed. This kind of slapstick effectively displaces other, more original content from television. It is template-like in terms of its creative design and, given the frequency of self-plagiarizing, undemanding. Overall impression: 50%.
