Editorial Reviews

Join Uncle Scrooge and the colorful cast of characters from the popular DuckTales series in this action-packed wing-slapping, feather-raising treasure hunt. With his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and his niece Webbigail Vanderquack at his side, everyone's favorite rich uncle, Scrooge McDuck, treks from his mansion home in Duckburg in search of the long-lost loot of the legendary thief Collie Baba. But finding the goods isn't quite what it's "quacked" up to be! Their thrilling adventure leads to comical chaos, magical mayhem and a lesson about what is far more valuable than money, gold and jewels.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, but disappointing DVD., March 15, 2007

By

This review is from: Disney's DuckTales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (DVD)

In 2006, Disney released DuckTales The Movie: Treasure Of The Lost Lamp onto DVD for the first time in region 1 areas. However, instead of giving it a wide release, Disney decided to offer it exclusively through the Disney Movie Club. Later that same year, it also became a potential reward through their new Disney Movie Rewards program. Although some of Disney's DMC/DMR exclusives have since gotten wide releases, DuckTales The Movie has yet to do that.

The disc they've released is rather lightweight. Although it's still a steal for Movie Rewards members, the $19.99 it demands on the Movie Club seems about $5-$10 too high. (This isn't counting the prices poor suckers are paying for it on eBay or Amazon Marketplace, not knowing all that you need to do is join the Disney Movie Club to buy it.) The only bonus feature is a game that you won't play more than once. That's it. Not a trailer, not a featurette, not a cartoon featuring Huey, Dewey, and Louie - nada. It's not a matter of space - on a DVD-5 disc, you have room for at least 4.35 GB of data. This DVD only uses 3.31 GB. Disney, you COULD have put a little more on here.

However, the movie's transfer is very well done. There's occasional heavy grain, dirt, scratches, and the like, but for the most part, the transfer is nice and clean. And the 2.0 Dolby Digital Stereo track gets the job done.

All in all, I can't say that you shouldn't get this DVD if you have a chance. Just having the movie on DVD is worth the price you pay, but it would have been nice if Disney had treated us to a few more bonus materials on this DVD besides a game that's fun, but likely won't be played more than once.

4.0 out of 5 stars Talk About Underrated, September 21, 2006

This review is from: Disney's DuckTales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (DVD)

What a great movie this is. Actioned packed right from the start, quick-moving plot, and of course the ever-lovable Scrooge McDuck, just as you remember him.

Scrooge searches for a lost Arabian treasure, but is ignorant that the most valuable part of the treasure is an old oil lamp. (Of course you know where this is going.) Scrooge's niece and nephews discover a genie inside the lamp with the power to grant wishes. The genie advises the kids to wish for small things, because big wishes lead to big trouble. The niece Webby ignores this advice, and wishes for her stuffed animals to come to life. Scrooge sees all this magic happening and finally discovers he has a magic lamp.

The Genie tells Scrooge he better be careful not to attract too much attention, because an evil immortal villain with a magic talisman is also seeking the lamp. The crafty villian finds Scrooge after only one wish, and gets ahold of the lamp after Scrooge gets it confused with a gravy boat. All heck breaks loose and Scrooge loses all his money, but he gets the lamp back later and becomes rich again. Then he fixes it so no more genie wishes will ever be granted by making the genie into a real live boy. The lamp falls apart and the genie plays cops and robbers with Scrooge's nephews, while the evil villan is...well...we see him falling from the sky somewhere, but he can't die, so I guess he ended up okay too.

The sad thing about this movie is it's so overshadowed by Disney's Aladdin. There really isn't much difference between the two movies, except for a giant money bin. The only advantage Aladdin has over the Ducktales movie is its outstanding songs. I highly recommend this DVD for Ducktales fans, but if you've seen Aladdin already, the Ducktales movie will seem awful similar.

I find it kind of sad that the Ducktales movie ultimately ended up being nothing more than a practice sketch for the later Aladdin film. It really is underrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ducktales movie that is not in the DVD Sets!, February 6, 2011

By 

Laura Mayer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Disney's DuckTales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (DVD)

This Ducktales movie is NOT in the DVD sets, so if you want every Ducktales animated adventure, get your hands on this one before Disney pulls it off the market. The Ducktales movie is great. The colors and animation are a little different than the tv show. The action is even at a different pacing, but it's still wonderful Ducktales goodness. Christopher Lloyd does the voice of the main villain, which is of course excellent. Great movie and don't forget to add it to your Ducktlales collection. If you don't have the other Ducktales sets, I would however recommend getting one of those first.
