DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp

This movie is great if you are a fan of the series, as an 80's and 90's child, I grew up with "Ducktales." This movie is no exception in being great, it has an awesome sense of adventure. The beginning of the film has such great animation it looks real. Great film for all ages!!!!

This was DuckTales at its peak. Animated by Disney's tv animation departments around the world, this film draws inspiration from the more mature indiana jones movies in the 80s and makes it suitable for kids of all ages.

Aladdin meets DuckTales.

I've always been aware of the popular television show, with its cracking theme song, but never really got into it when I was younger, so this is my first proper taste of this particular Disney world - a good one!

The animation of 'DuckTales: The Movie - Treasure of the Lost Lamp' isn't the grandest, but seeing the characters of Scrooge, Huey, Dewey and Louie put into the folk tale of Aladdin is entertaining; even if it is predictable, more so if you've seen the famous exploits of Prince Ali Ababwa from two years after this was released.

Russi Taylor does a fine job voicing the well-known duck trio, while Alan Young suffices in his role as Scrooge. The others don't majorly stand out, though it's cool to hear Christopher Lloyd as Merlock.

Nothing special, but an enjoyable little adventure film - surprised it didn't do well enough for a sequel.

Okay, it is true that the graphics of this movie are not as good as those of the 1990s Disney classics, but still, despite that it is a nice movie. The beginning, I mean the treasure hunt is typical of earlier Ducktale cartoons - adventures in some ancient land. The rest is a modernised adaptation of the story of Aladdin. It is quite gripping for kids, and adults are bound to like it too. The best thing about it, I think, is that the adventure starts away from home but it ends up at Duckberg. Fantasy plays a large role as with all Disney cartoons. Enjoyable.

This is a fun movie based on the Disney cartoon Ducktales, a story about Scrooge McDuck and the gang out to search for a magic lamp, with an evil wizard out to get his hands on it as well.

I remember watching Ducktales on the Disney Afternoon after I got home from elementary school, and it was one of my favorite cartoon shows. It was great seeing classic Disney characters like Huey, Duey and Louie star in a more modern show to keep up with the times, but still maintaining that special Disney charm. It's equally awesome to see the show making it to the big screen with this movie, and it brought along the show's elements: colorful animation, upbeat music, fun and daring characters and exciting adventures.

It's a little on the short side, with a running time of only 74 min. So, the movie may seemed rushed through at times. Other than that, if you love Ducktales, you would love this movie - great fun for the entire family.
