Synopsis
An after-school favourite of young viewers throughout the late-1980s, Ducktales chronicled the wacky adventures of millionaire Scrooge McDuck (a relative of Donald Duck) and his mischievous feathered nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie. As Scrooge constantly thinks up new ways to expand his wealth, the boys help out by guarding his gold from the villainous Beagle Boys. With each episode, the gang finds itself immersed in a new series of animated journeys, often in search of glistening treasure. While Scrooge may be protective of his wallet, he also develops a soft spot for the young ducks Donald Duck left in his care after joining the Navy. Often joining in for the ride are frequent characters like Gyro Gearloose, Mrs. Beakley, Webbigail Vanderquack, and of course the Beagle Boys.

I will not further expand on what has already been said about this wonderful cartoon. However, I would like to point out that this is a different version to the one sold in the US.
Some reviews here, list the collection as containing 27 episodes. This is incorrect. The US version does contain the 27 episodes mentioned (with a run time of 618 minutes). This UK version, contains only 20 episodes (with a run time of 460 minutes). I was quite disappointed when I received this, as I thought it was the same as the US release (with 27 episodes). The US version, which looks identical to this, is titled "Volume 1 - Episodes 1-27". This UK version is entitled "First Collection". Both sets contain 3 discs, however, as mentioned, The UK version does not have the same amount of episodes.
Despite my disappointment, I cannot fault Amazon UK as they did not mislead (it was the incorrect information in some reviews that that ultimately led to my disappointment). Therefore, I will not mark the score down, I am giving it 5 stars based on the cartoon itself.
The episodes included are:
Disc 1:
Send In The Clones
Sphinx For The Memories
Where No Duck Has Gone Before
Armstrong
Robot Robbers
Magica's Shadow War
Disc 2:
Master Of The Djinni
Hotel Strangeduck
The Lost Crown Of Genghis Khan
Duckman Of Aquatraz
The Money Vanishes
Sir Gyro De Gearloose
Dinosaur Ducks
Disc 3:
Hero For Hire
Superdoo!
Maid Of The Myth
Down And Out In Duckburg
Much Ado About Scrooge
Top Duck
The Pearl Of Wisdom

Amazon Verified Purchase
Its great to see a classic on dvd for once!
Some issues with it however are:
The picture quality isnt that great, yes i know its an old school tv show, but it hasnt been remastered or adjusted for widescreen really.
Cant wait for the rest of the collection.
And yes the UK version is different from the USA version (we lack 7 episodes!)

A very good package of REAL Disney adventures. This is what I watched when I was a kid, and it still is lovely even as I'm now much older. The only real complaint I have is that the audio gain is quite low, it could've done with some audio processing as I had to turn up my stereo quite alot.
Buy if you like the show.

Donald Duck is a LOSER
I didn't like Donald Duck as a kid. Still don't. Why not? Because Donald's a LOSER, that's why! I had hundreds of Donald Duck comics magazines as a kid, but threw them all away. Read more

Trying to bring back memories
I bought this in the hope to bring back memories, but it ended out that the only memory I had from this was the intro music, good quality cartoons, but without beeing exceptional!
