Duck tales,dark wing duck,rescue rangers,tale spindiscussion thread.
My 2 cents:
Duck Tales,who would have thought a cartoon series based around a CRAZY milionaire/billionaire would have worked out so perfectly,i was one of the most highlty watched disney cartoon series for it's time. everything about the Formula just seemed odd/wrong. The series starts off with Donald duck no longer being able to take care of his nephews so he dumps them on his Rich uncles door step. the three tiny ducks needed constant supervision as they were deemed nut cases with high energy. Most episodes revolved around the Bad guys stealing scrooges money & him chasing them all like a nut case.
Dark Wing duck,was a interesting series. but I thought it borrowed too heavily from the Duck tales cartoon series. should have just called it "Duck Tales part 2". Sadly Darkwing duck was a wimp/incompetent guy that barely manged to beat ther bad guys who were more wimpy/incompetent than he was.
Tale Spin,I think was the worse idea Disney had at the time. Taking all the animals out of the deep jungle & placing them all in a city type business setting was just bad at it's worse.
Rescue Rangers seemed like it was aimed at much younger kids audience than duck tales,dark wing duck & tale spin were. That theme song was so over the top annoying. For those un-aware Zack & Cody from "the Suite life" were given Chip & dales personas.

Borrowed too heavily...? It was a spin-off series, but as I recall, the only elements from Duck Tales it had was Launchpad as Darkwing's sidekick and an occasional appearance by Gizmoduck.Tigermegatron wrote:Dark Wing duck,was a interesting series. but I thought it borrowed too heavily from the Duck tales cartoon series. should have just called it "Duck Tales part 2".
So you're saying duck's are perfectly fine in a business setting but jungle animals is taking it too far? It's a cartoon dude, just because they're jungle animals doesn't make it a bad idea. I remember enjoying the show a lot as a kid (along with the rest of the series mentioned here). I thought it was a little odd some of them were Jungle Book characters, but it worked for the roles they were in.Tale Spin,I think was the worse idea Disney had at the time.

Donald duck,Scrooge,the three nephew ducks,were previously shown in other disney cartoons as being in a city setting. they all went to school,knew how to write & read. they all experienced human activity life styles like going to the stores to buy stuff,working at jobs,paying the bills,living in houses,driving cars,talking on the phone,sleeping in a bed,having furniture. wearing clothes,etc...
The main Problem I have with Tale spin putting the jungle characters in a city type setting is,it's just un-realistic for those characters. as they were all jungle characters that lived in the jungle. in previous movies,They never went to school,never wore clothes,never knew how to read & write. didn't take any skills test like driving,operating planes,working in a office,watching tv,using the phone,they never lived in houses with furniture. never cooked meals,never slept in a bed,never spent money to buy anything,never paid the bills,etc...

And once again your rashness to irrationally lash out in some way towards me has you coming to the wrong conclusion. I'm not missing anything, I was disagreeing with your opinion that Tale Spin was a bad idea. Tale Spin having jungle animals in a city type of setting really isn't any different than ducks, or any other cartoon animals for that matter, being in that type of role. And certainly doesn't make it a bad idea in itself. They can have any type of animal doing whatever they want because these are cartoons. Nor does it matter what these characters have or haven't appeared in before, because these aren't meant to be the same exact characters. Baloo in Tale Spin isn't exactly the same Baloo from Jungle Book, he's just based on that character. Even with Duck Tales, Scrooge McDuck isn't the same Scrooge from "Mickey's Christmas Carol". Or to put it another way, it's like how G1 Optimus Prime isn't the same as the Optimus Prime in Prime. It's different fictional narratives with their own sets of rules. You are being too literal with the characters, rather than what the fiction itself intends.Tigermegatron wrote:Like always you miss the obvious......

And I'm sick and tired of you falsely accusing everyone of this crap every time anyone disagrees with you on anything. Yet, I'm still polite about discussing whatever.Tigermegatron wrote:I'm getting really sick & tired of your desperate attemps to turn threads Nasty & how you TRY YOUR HARDEST TO evoke so much anger.
It's called a difference of opinion dude. You said you thought Tale Spin was the worst idea Disney had at the time for using jungle animals, and I disagreed with that by expressing that Duck Tales really isn't any different seeing as both are shows about cartoon animals doing human things, and that I liked all these cartoons as a kid. I didn't mock you. I didn't flame bait you. I wasn't nasty about it. I wasn't injecting anger over it. I wasn't rude about it. Or whatever else. I have never done anything but simply disagree with you about something. Anything like a "thread crasher" is all coming from you seeing as your reply to mine began with an insult towards me. As I said, I enjoyed all these cartoons. The reason I entered this topic was to talk about them, not argue with you about this nonsense.you are what the internet forums refer to as a "Thread Crasher". you enter threads on a Forum for the sole purpose of trying to ruin it by injecting anger,mocking,nasty,flame baiting,rudeness,etc.....
