Disney win @ DVD : Darkwing Duck and Tale Spin out Tuesday!

cj iwakura · 08-28-2006, 12:20 AM

Now, I'm generally the last person in the world to defend the evil corporation that is The Mouse, but between all the Miyazaki movies they (beautifully) dubbed and bringing THESE out, they are forever redeemed in my eyes.

I must have them both.

I grew up on these shows, and they're both amazing.

I love Disney. Well, mostly the older incarnation, but they're just as awesome now for doing this.

Working one night at Best Buy, I was back in the warehouse locating something or another, and I noticed a pallet full of new releases for Tuesday in the media section.

I saw DARKWING FUCKING DUCK!

And that gave Disney ten coolness points. Tomorrow, these DVDs shall be mine.

Oh hell yes. Darkwing Duck was very good times and Tailspin had quite possibly the most infectious theme song in history. I see I now have to schedule a trip to Best Buy in at some point in the week.

And yeah, the Darkwing Duck game ruled. 2D platforming goodness with ducks is almost impossible to screw up (Ducktales 1 and 2, Quackshot, etc. were all incredible). Can't say the same for the Tailspin game. I remember it being really frustrating but I honestly do not remember why.

Darkwing duck kicks ass

Hell yes! I can't wait for Just Us Justice Ducks to be avaliable on DVD.

Disney owns the publishing rights to Muppet Babies, I hope they release that on DVD too.

DWD rocks. Best villains of any Toon Disney series. Megavolt, Negaduck, Liquidator, Cracker Jack, BEAK, hilarity ensues.

mappyman · 08-28-2006, 04:16 PM

man awhile back they posted like ALL darkwing duck eps on myspleen, i swear it was over 8 gigs worth.
back in first seaon it was crazy violent. like bad guys would DIE and darkwing really fought hardcore. later on though it dimmed down so he threw crates n shit at them and they would just get away or get knocked out locked up whatever. C'mon disney! lets see some mother fuckin VIOLENCE

are there Gargoyles DVDs yet? that series was pretty damn hardcore

cj iwakura · 08-28-2006, 10:47 PM

There's two Gargoyles box sets already, Season 1 and 'Season 2 part 1'. I need to get those eventually.

They also already did Ducktales and Chip And Dale's Rescue Rangers, which are already getting tough to find(I already got C&D, not sure if I want Ducktales yet).

Holy. Fucking. Shit. I think I know where my last paycheck is going.

*as for last poster, I think I still have a few Ducktales VHS tapes sitting around deep in the depths of my "In Case Y2K Owns Our Asses" storage.

Morning Blue · 08-29-2006, 12:37 PM

I see Disney learned their lesson for NOT including the 5-episode pilots for Ducktales and Rescue Rangers. Good show.

Darkwing Duck was one of the best TV shows Disney ever did, animated or otherwise, and I'm glad to see it on DVD.

ultralowincome · 08-29-2006, 01:56 PM

it was smart too, didn't insult the viewers intelligence, which was and is rare for Disney nowadays...

illusory_light · 08-30-2006, 01:48 AM

Tailspin had to be the most addictive show I've seen in my afternoon cartoon shows. I would always arrive home too late to watch Gummi Bears, so Tail Spin was my show. I don't remember Darkwing Duck very much, or even the video game. (I'd go into how much I absolutely adored "Donald Duck's Quackshot" but that would be going off-topic...)

Either way, the tailspin DVD will be mine! First Ducktales, now this...
