Danny Pudi Is Happy You Enjoyed “Larry, I’m on DuckTales”

New DVD release, , , ,
Flash back to late December of last year, if you will.  The holiday season is approaching and it’s a particularly dour one. The world is still in the throes of the coronavirus pandemic and large gatherings are discouraged, scuttling many people’s chances to see their family in person for the first time in months. We all needed a win. The Internet, as it so often seems to do, came through. From the depths of TikTok and Twitter re-emerged a little-seen clip of a February 2020 interview between actor Danny Pudi (Community, Mythic Quest) and legendary broadcaster Larry King. King wanted…

How The DuckTales Team Pulled Off That Massive Finale

New DVD release, , ,
This DUCKTALES article contains massive spoilers for the finale. Nothing can stop DuckTales. That applies not just to the characters of the series but the crew behind it. Throughout the run of the series they not only redefined DuckTales for a new generation but also crafted a beautifully woven story that developed every single one of its cast of characters. Along the way they also brought back other beloved Disney TV classics like Darkwing Duck, TaleSpin, Rescue Rangers, and even mega deep cuts like Fluppy Dogs. They pulled all that off but the finale presented the crew of DuckTales with their biggest…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 22 Review: The Last Adventure!

New DVD release, , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. From the opening moments of DuckTales’ final episode it feels like the end. Almost everyone is here. There’s an extra care put into the scenes, a knowledge that we are in the last hour of their adventures. A last moment of uncomplicated joy before things get messy. And at the center of it all? Webby. In the beginning she seemed to be the POV character of DuckTales, the one everything seemed to focus around. Some of that was caused by the original air dates of the episodes accidentally putting all her focus episodes at the start but…

DuckTales: Inside the Finale’s Big Webby Twist

New DVD release, , , ,
This DUCKTALES article contains massive spoilers for the finale. The DuckTales finale had a lot to wrap up. One of the biggest mysteries introduced in season 3 had to do with Webby. Beakley was keeping secrets about her but we weren’t sure what. The finale gave us answers but not in the way we expected.  Early on we’re introduced to what we’re told are Webby’s sisters, clones of her. As Webby begins to investigate she learns more and more, confident she’ll get some clue to her past. She gets that and a whole lot more. The audience and Webby both learn she’s…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 21 Review: The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. Responsibility. It’s one of the most important lessons you can learn. It’s easy to think about yourself. To do whatever you want without worrying how it impacts others. For a rich billionaire, this is incredibly important to Scrooge’s character. In amassing all his wealth he can’t get off scot-free. He has to have hurt some people. The show has previously tackled this idea multiple times, especially when it came to Glomgold’s backstory. ‘The Life and Crimes of ScroogeMcDuck’ seems to set out to finally ask and answer the question for DuckTales, how responsible is Scrooge for the…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 20 Review: The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker!

New DVD release, , , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. Kit thought he wanted to be a pilot, like his hero Baloo. Kit was great at cloud kicking but he put that aside, looking at it as remnants of his youth. He’s older now, he should be a pilot like his hero… right? Dewey is bored with piloting so after watching five seconds of cloud kicking he decides this is going to be his new thing because it’s exciting! He’s no good at it of course but man (duck?), he wants to dew it! Who you want to be v. who you actually are is at the…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 19 Review: Beaks in the Shell!

New DVD release, , , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. It’s hard not to tie your work to your self worth. You spend countless hours pouring your talent and love into something and when someone rejects it, it can be so much more than them simply not liking what you made. It can feel like they’re rejecting you. It makes you not want to show your work to anyone, to keep it hidden. The more you do it, the more you also want to hide yourself. If people don’t like (or understand) your work, they won’t like or understand you… right? It’s no wonder Gandra Dee retreated…

DuckTales Return Date and Series Finale Details Revealed

New DVD release, , , , ,
If there was anytime I felt more conflicted about writing “woo-oo” in my life, it would be today. We already knew DuckTales was coming to a close but we didn’t know how it would end. Would we get one new episode a week for weeks? Would they air them all in a row? Well, Disney just released the info and it wasn’t quite what we expected. DuckTales will return on February 22, 2021 and will air one new episode a week until March 15, 2021. On that date we’ll be getting a 90-minute series finale! That’s less than a month of…

How Many DuckTales Episodes Are Left to Air?

New DVD release,
DuckTales has been cancelled after three seasons. It’s a major gut punch to any fan of the astounding reboot of the classic 80’s series. Even three seasons in it felt like the show was only beginning to rev up. It was slowly building a new version of the Disney Afternoon universe, more and more characters were being added to the cast, and the characters we loved so much were getting fleshed out in fascinating ways. Thankfully there’s a small silver lining. The show isn’t quite over yet. There are still a few episodes left to air and hopefully they’ll provide…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 18 Review: How Santa Stole Christmas!

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. It’s hard for any TV show to surprise me but when they opened that gift and discovered Scrooge was actually delivering coal all this time? I gasped. WHAT A BETRAYAL. Scrooge, how dare you! But… it made sense. DuckTales has done a lot of work in growing Scrooge from the person we first met in the premiere who only cared about money. He’s slowly grown to love his extended family and isn’t quite as much of a curmudgeon as he used to be. Still though, just because Scrooge has changed some parts of himself doesn’t mean he’s…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 17 Review: The Fight for Castle McDuck!

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. Family is a core part of DuckTales. It always has been and always will be. That subject can go a lot of different ways. Some people adore their family, some people hate them. DuckTales has given us several different views of different families but generally it skews to family being a good thing, however you find it. The McDuck family in particular, for all its flaws, usually comes out pretty warm and fuzzy at the end of the day. The goal at the start of the show was bringing the family together so that’s understandable. ‘The Fight…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 16 Review: The First Adventure!

New DVD release, , , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. Kid Donald and Della are the best. The absolute freaking best. Donald’s grumpy grunge boy attitude, Della’s infectious adventuring spirit, they’re both wonderful contrasts to each other that make this episode a blast. Now normally I’m not a big fan of “what if character but they are kid/baby.” Oh sure it’s a license to print money for most franchises but it often lacks a soul. Not here though. DuckTales is too good for that. This isn’t just a MORE kid-fied version of the DuckTales you know, it’s a chance to see your favorite characters experience a huge…

Will the New Darkwing Duck Reboot Be in Continuity With DuckTales?

New DVD release, , ,
Fans of Disney’s Darkwing Duck might be headed for a Crisis on Infinite Darkwings. A reboot of the beloved ’90s animated series is in the early stages of development for Disney Plus, with Alex McAtee of Seth Rogen’s Point Grey Pictures overseeing the project (via Variety.) But wait, didn’t they already reboot Darkwing Duck recently? In the modern series of DuckTales, the character of Darkwing was slowly introduced over the shows three seasons before recently getting his own special episode, ‘Let’s Get Dangerous!’ This episode introduced a rebooted version of original Darkwing Duck character Gosalyn Mallard and set the stage…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 15 Review: New Gods on the Block!

New DVD release, , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. Legacy. It’s the theme that’s defined the third season of DuckTales and it’s an incredibly rich one. In a family of adventures who’ve done things no one could have ever dreamed of, it can be tough to measure up. It can lead to a heavy burden; you have to keep one upping yourself and living up to the expectations of those who’ve come before you. This is a topic that’s rich with dramatic possibility… and this week’s DuckTales mostly uses it to tell some fantastic jokes. As fans we love to get caught up in the deep inner…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 14 Review: The Split Sword of Swanstantine!

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. I had a grin on my face from the start of this DuckTales episode to the end. The premise of this outing was a winner from the jump; the family all-splitting up to find three different pieces of the titular split sword of swanstantine.  It’s a simple “find the macguffin” story that could have been routine but DuckTales has its characters to fall back on. The team behind the show have done so much work developing these characters over the last three seasons that simply watching them in these “mini-ventures” was a pure delight.  Webby and Dewey was…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 13 Review: Escape from the ImpossiBin!

New DVD release, , , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. DuckTales Season 3 Episode 13 There are two central pillars at the heart of this DuckTales episode. The first is Scrooge questioning, “what if being Scrooge isn’t enough this time?” The second is “we won’t get stronger by attacking the people we love.” Both of these lessons seem separated and they are, at least in terms of being the A and B stories. However, the closer you look the more you realize how they effectively dovetail together. They’re both framed by the families attempt to prepare for F.O.W.L. After the last Darkwing Duck special episode I’m glad…

DuckTales’ Most Deep Cut Disney Reference Yet

New DVD release, ,
This DuckTales article contains spoilers for season 3 episode 12. While watching DuckTales I sometimes think about what writing the show is like. While I know there’s considerable time spent on writing the complex characters, their arcs, the world, and just making a great story? I have no doubt there’s also got to be at least an hour long discussion every week of “okay but what deep cut Disney reference can we do in this episode?” Throughout the 2017 DuckTales there’s been references big and small to Disney’s past. In the recent Darkwing Duck episode of DuckTales, “Let’s Get Dangerous”…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 12 Review: Let’s Get Dangerous!

New DVD release, , , ,
This DuckTales review contains spoilers. DuckTales Season 3 Episode 12 This episode is the biggest love letter to not only Darkwing Duck but DuckTales as a franchise. It’s filled with reference after reference, big and small. For many fans those alone will make “Let’s Get Dangerous” a favorite. Crucially though, while this episode delights in its references it never leans on them. Yes it’s a Darkwing Duck love fest but it never forgets that it needs tell a really good Darkwing Duck story. It manages this in something that could have easily been lost in all the nostalgia; it builds…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 11 Review: The Forbidden Fountain of the Foreverglades!

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. The juxtaposition of the fountain of youth with a spring break hotel is sheer elegance in its simplicity. It’s a perfect spin on a story that’s been told thousands of times but done in a way that fits right at home with the new DuckTales. It takes an old concept and breathes new life into it… which is fitting for the plot of this episode. I love the bait and switch of making you think Scrooge and Goldie are doing to the fountain of youth only for Louie to casually discover what’s really going on back at…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 10 Review: The Trickening!

New DVD release, , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. Sometimes it’s nice to just sit back and watch your characters have fun.  Amidst all the character development, the large cast, and the promise of an upcoming big Darkwing Duck episode, I’m glad DuckTales took the chance to just have a romp of an adventure this week. As much as fans always want every episode to be BIG and important and tell us something new about the world or the characters, we can’t have those big moments without a little time for a status quo to set in. The Halloween episode just lets the kids run around…
