DuckTales: The Movie - Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

This is a movie based on the "DuckTales" TV series. I'm not sure if I ever saw any episodes of that show as a kid, but the show did introduce Launchpad McQuack, a character who would later appear in "Darkwing Duck" a show I remember seeing a lot of as a kid in the early 90's, so I remember him from that show. I did see this film probably about six years after its release, and I may have thought it was pretty good at the time, even if I couldn't remember very much of it afterwards. I couldn't even remember the title, even though I could remember that it featured Huey, Dewey, and Louie and their Uncle Scrooge McDuck, all characters introduced decades before this movie and the show it's based on were made. After watching this movie for the first time in probably about fifteen years, I would say it's still not bad.Scrooge McDuck, nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and niece Webbigail Vanderquack all go to Egypt with Launchpad McQuack, the clumsy pilot. The six of them are here to find the treasure of Collie Baba and his Forty Thieves! However, what they don't realize is that during their search, the evil Merlock is searching for one treasure in particular, and he sends his not so bright assistant, Dijon, to pretend to help the six treasure hunters find what they're looking for! After they find it, Merlock takes the treasure and tries to make sure Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webbigail, and Launchpad don't make it back outside alive! The six of them manage to escape, but end up taking nothing back to Duckberg with them except for a lamp, which they think is an ordinary oil lamp. However, this is actually a magic lamp with a genie inside, and the one treasure Merlock was looking for! As this genie grants the four duck children wishes after they discover him, Merlock and Dijon are now searching for him in Duckberg! With the six ducks flying to Egypt and Launchpad doing a clumsy job flying and landing, the film is off to a fairly amusing start. The Egypt adventure that starts the film off is pretty entertaining, with action and more humorous parts, some involving Dijon angering Merlock. Throughout the film, there's a lot more humour, and it's not usually hilarious and may rely too heavily on sight gags, but some of it certainly did make me laugh, such as some of the wishes the Genie finds himself granting the young ducks. The Genie in this movie, voiced by Rip Taylor, can be an amusing character, though he's certainly no match for the Genie in Disney's "Aladdin", voiced by Robin Williams. The plot of "DuckTales: The Movie - Treasure of the Lost Lamp" perhaps didn't turn out to be as consistent as I could have hoped for, and may not be as appealing to adult viewers as it is to many kids, but I definitely didn't exactly find it boring, just a BIT underwhelming. The animation here is decent as well, with some colourful backgrounds, and I have no complaints about the voice acting.This movie based on a popular Disney TV series is certainly no classic piece of family animation, but overall, it still works as the kind of film it is. Since it came out the same year as Disney's "The Rescuers Down Under", I will say that I think it's definitely not as good as that one, but better the original "The Rescuers" from 1977, even if most would disagree. "DuckTales: The Movie - Treasure of the Lost Lamp" left me with the slight feeling that I should rate it six out of ten, but I think seven is more accurate to the way I feel about the film, even though I've given the same rating to certain films which I've found to be more entertaining. I can't say how this movie compares to the "DuckTales" TV series, since I don't recall ever actually seeing any episodes of it, and even if I did remember seeing any of the show as a kid, it obviously wouldn't be the same if I saw it now. Still, this 1990 animated feature is probably good entertainment for kids, and for adult fans of this type of film, it's not a must-see, but you still might enjoy it.

DuckTales, a particularly popular 80s Disney spin-off show featuring old Disney characters w/ a new twist. I, myself have grown up on this movie having my parents record it of the Disney channel b4 i was born and recently dubbed it to DVD so i can treasure it forever. the movie could spark memories from the watchers of the show. Plus people who've seen it on Toon Disney. But for the average kids who never even heard of Launchpad Mcquack or even Scrooge, Kids could get confused on topics. But for the up-to-date Disney kid (or should i say old-to-date considering how all kids hear about in Disney is Lilo & Stich and Power Rangers and never know about good yet unknown Disney movies.) If you read some old golden spine Disney books about scrooge, they'll know. But Many will get confused.

When his expedition finds a hidden entrance to the liar of a legendary thief in the Egyptian desert, Scrooge discovers a map hidden in the (mostly worthless) possessions that are recovered. The map leads him closer to finding the treasure that he has searched for most of his life – a magical lamp containing a genie and three wishes for the holder. Unaware of what he has, it is Scrooge's nephews that uncover the genie and befriend him. But when Merlock, the genie's 'master' comes looking for the genie, Scrooge will fight to protect his newfound acquisition.I know I used to watch Duck Tales as a child because I found myself humming along absentmindedly to the theme music but I cannot remember much more than that. This was not a problem though as I only watched it to act as a bit of a trip down memory lane for me. The plot is OK for this sort of thing and allows plenty of silly antics as well as just doing enough for the duration to actually give the film somewhere to go towards the end to create a certain amount of actual drive for the antics. This is not to say it is a great affair because it isn't, but under tens should enjoy it enough to distract them for just over an hour.The animation is colourful and, even if it is uninspiring it still does the job and never feels cheap or rushed out. The voice work is pretty good but I, like many others I think, found the voices of Huey and crew to be rather annoying even if one must give Taylor his dues for doing several voices. Young does a simple job on Scrooge, Taylor is fun as the genie and Libertini is quite fun as the comic relief. Lloyd is a nice addition for adults and he has a great presence thanks to his distinctive voice work but he has little to do and, to be honest, the voice work doesn't really stand out that much.Overall this is OK fare for under tens but I must admit that it is unlikely to draw any audience other than that. Those seeking childhood memories may enjoy it and be glad to find that it is quite well made even if it is unspectacular but it is not worth watching if you have not experienced it before now. Tape it off TV and you'll find it useful enough to keep young children happy but I doubt many adults find it useful in any ways other than a babysitter.
