![]() ![]() However, the studio took a number of risks that paid off handsomely, and DuckTales was one of those risks that won big. Many critics say that Disney's own animation studio had lost most of its luster during the period from Walt Disney's passing through the 1980s. Most of the DuckTales episodes were animated in Asia by companies such as Cuckoo's Nest Studios, Wang Film Productions of Taiwan, and Tokyo Movie Shinsha of Japan. This was considered a risky move, because animated TV series were generally considered low-budget investments for most of the history of TV cartoons up through the 1980s. ![]() Disney invested a far greater amount of money into the TV series than had previously been spent on animated shows of the time. The show was the most successful of Disney's early attempts to create high-quality animation for a TV animated series (earlier shows included The Wuzzles and Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears in 1985). The hundredth episode (which was also the series finale) aired on November 28, 1990. A feature-length movie was released in theatres on August 3, 1990. Since then, it has been shown in the series' regular rotation as a five-part serial. DuckTales also spawned two spinoffs- Darkwing Duck and Quack Pack.Ī world broadcast premiere television movie (entitled " The Treasures of the Golden Suns") first aired during the weekend of September 18–20, 1987 (date and time varied by market). The series is notable for being the first Disney cartoon to be produced for syndication, and paving the way for future Disney cartoons, such as Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers and TaleSpin. For example, the episode "The Unbreakable Bin" is based on Barks's story The Unsafe Safe. Some episodes are based upon Carl Barks stories or simply have elements from such stories. Characters like Gladstone were often seen in the early Carl Barks comic book stories. Some members of Scrooge's extended family (The Duck Universe), like Gladstone Gander who had extremely good luck, were also seen in the series. Episodes would feature either Bubba or Fenton but rarely both.Īlthough Scrooge and his nephews were the show's main characters, some episodes focused on other characters like Launchpad or Gyro. Along with them came stories that generally shifted away from the globetrotting plots of the first season, and revolved primarily in the contemporary setting of Duckburg. The show's second season saw the addition of characters Fenton Crackshell and Bubba Duck. Scrooge keeps the dime in a glass jar in his money vault, and constantly protects it from the villains on the show. A few of the stories also surround Scrooge's " Number One Dime" which is the source of Scrooge's good luck and wealth. Scrooge's nemesis in the show is Flintheart Glomgold, who always tries to devise plans to dethrone Scrooge McDuck from his "Richest Duck in the World" title. The prominent recurring antagonists in the show include the Beagle Boys and Magica De Spell who are always finding ways to rob and swindle Scrooge and his nephews. Many episodes involve protecting his wealth from villains who want to rob Scrooge of all his money. ![]() Though Scrooge is the richest duck in the world, he constantly tries to find ways to increase his wealth. The nephews, who were originally living with their uncle Donald, are left in Scrooge's care when the former joins the Navy. The show features the adventures of Scrooge McDuck and his great-nephews.

![]() ![]() ![]() The airship is neat not just because it looks cool and can be wooshed around like a normal toy, but it opens up as well, so that you can use it like part of the course. The biggest set so far has been Bowser’s Castle but there’s now another of the same size called Bowser’s Airship, which is one of the ones we were sent. You need one of the two starter courses to use the other sets, as they’re the only ones that come with a Bluetooth minifigure, but they’re relatively cheap and have plenty of building potential on their own. The building isn’t very complex, if you’re used to sets aimed at adults, but thinking up new courses is an enjoyably creative exercise which really does feel halfway between playing with Lego and playing a video game (especially if it’s Mario Maker). You use a free app (there are no paper instructions) and build the individual elements, including a seesaw and some gear pieces, and then put them together however you want. The Luigi Starter Course has different characters (a pink Yoshi and Boom Boom) and pieces but works in the same basic manner as the Mario one. Although there are preset course designs that come with each set the idea is that everything is modular and so you can move platforms, towers, and obstacles around and make your own course, to be completed against a 60 second timer. Interactive elements also have action bricks, with the various obstacles gaining you coins if you navigate them successfully.Īdd all these elements together and you come to the central appeal of the line: to create your own Super Mario courses and navigate through them using the minifgure, thereby earning coins along the way. ![]() The sensor can detect colours, so that yellow is interpreted as sand, purple as poison, and so on, but each set also has multiple ‘action bricks’ which allow you to jump on an enemy and have the minifigure react with the correct sound effect and animations in its eyes, mouth, and chest. The exception is Mario and Luigi who are complex Bluetooth devices that have a sensor in their feet that can tell what kind of brick they’re standing on. There are no traditional minifigures in any of the sets and instead everything is built from ordinary bricks, which gives all the characters a charmingly blocky, N64 style look. You can read our review of some of the original Super Mario sets here but the basic idea is quite different from the Lego norm. ![]() ![]() Success Stories of Bangladesh Women's Cricket team In this post, we will discuss how Bangladesh Women's Cricket can take its next step towards success.

Obviously, what these guys have done in the 70s, 80 and early 90s, we respect that and these are the guys who inspired us to play the game. “It’s important for us to have our own identity and not always be in the shadow of the previous legends.
