I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

When I was a kid this was one of my favorite comic-books. I think I still have it somewhere. Story is variation of Aladdin, objectively, far below Disney classics, but it doesn't make this movie any less fun. Just relax and enjoy the ride with Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby. <37/10

This is a movie based on the "DuckTales" TV series. I'm not sure if I ever saw any episodes of that show as a kid, but the show did introduce Launchpad McQuack, a character who would later appear in "Darkwing Duck" a show I remember seeing a lot of as a kid in the early 90's, so I remember him from that show. I did see this film probably about six years after its release, and I may have thought it was pretty good at the time, even if I couldn't remember very much of it afterwards. I couldn't even remember the title, even though I could remember that it featured Huey, Dewey, and Louie and their Uncle Scrooge McDuck, all characters introduced decades before this movie and the show it's based on were made. After watching this movie for the first time in probably about fifteen years, I would say it's still not bad.Scrooge McDuck, nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and niece Webbigail Vanderquack all go to Egypt with Launchpad McQuack, the clumsy pilot. The six of them are here to find the treasure of Collie Baba and his Forty Thieves! However, what they don't realize is that during their search, the evil Merlock is searching for one treasure in particular, and he sends his not so bright assistant, Dijon, to pretend to help the six treasure hunters find what they're looking for! After they find it, Merlock takes the treasure and tries to make sure Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webbigail, and Launchpad don't make it back outside alive! The six of them manage to escape, but end up taking nothing back to Duckberg with them except for a lamp, which they think is an ordinary oil lamp. However, this is actually a magic lamp with a genie inside, and the one treasure Merlock was looking for! As this genie grants the four duck children wishes after they discover him, Merlock and Dijon are now searching for him in Duckberg! With the six ducks flying to Egypt and Launchpad doing a clumsy job flying and landing, the film is off to a fairly amusing start. The Egypt adventure that starts the film off is pretty entertaining, with action and more humorous parts, some involving Dijon angering Merlock. Throughout the film, there's a lot more humour, and it's not usually hilarious and may rely too heavily on sight gags, but some of it certainly did make me laugh, such as some of the wishes the Genie finds himself granting the young ducks. The Genie in this movie, voiced by Rip Taylor, can be an amusing character, though he's certainly no match for the Genie in Disney's "Aladdin", voiced by Robin Williams. The plot of "DuckTales: The Movie - Treasure of the Lost Lamp" perhaps didn't turn out to be as consistent as I could have hoped for, and may not be as appealing to adult viewers as it is to many kids, but I definitely didn't exactly find it boring, just a BIT underwhelming. The animation here is decent as well, with some colourful backgrounds, and I have no complaints about the voice acting.This movie based on a popular Disney TV series is certainly no classic piece of family animation, but overall, it still works as the kind of film it is. Since it came out the same year as Disney's "The Rescuers Down Under", I will say that I think it's definitely not as good as that one, but better the original "The Rescuers" from 1977, even if most would disagree. "DuckTales: The Movie - Treasure of the Lost Lamp" left me with the slight feeling that I should rate it six out of ten, but I think seven is more accurate to the way I feel about the film, even though I've given the same rating to certain films which I've found to be more entertaining. I can't say how this movie compares to the "DuckTales" TV series, since I don't recall ever actually seeing any episodes of it, and even if I did remember seeing any of the show as a kid, it obviously wouldn't be the same if I saw it now. Still, this 1990 animated feature is probably good entertainment for kids, and for adult fans of this type of film, it's not a must-see, but you still might enjoy it.

i don't remember much but what i do remember is freaking awesome scrooge is like I'm gonna dive in my money pile and he does and its pretty sweet and then stuff happens in the movie and then at the end he's like I'm gonna dive in my money pile again and then he hits the floor and he's like what the hell where's my money then this guy with baggy pants is running down the street with coins in his pants and those pants have to be damn huge to fit all those coins and they chase them down the street ~fin~ ten lines of text is hard to fill in they should really cut it down to five because that would be so much easier for me.

"Duck Tales: The Movie" is a great movie. I've always loved it. It's basically a 74-minute episode of "Duck Tales" with some classic Disney magic mixed in. If you haven't seen the movie, I recommend you do; I find it to be suitable for kids and adults equally. If you haven't watched the movie before, then (as Strong Bad would say) I recommend the faint of heart and the faint of butt to stop reading this review, for it might spoil the magic for those who want to be surprised. The movie starts with Scrooge McDuck and his nephews along with Launchpad and Webby out in Egypt looking for the treasure of Collie Baba, a famous thieve. When they find it, they find out that their guide, Dijon, turned out to be the little sidekick of an evil sorcerer named Merlock who steals the treasure from Scrooge leaving him empty-handed. Little did Scrooge know, Webby managed to keep from the treasure a lamp, which she had mistaken for a teapot. While polishing it, she and Huey, Dewey and Louie unveiled the genie of the lamp that they become friends with, as well as his new masters. The four kids each got three wishes; Webby makes all these crazy wishes, which causes one of the boys to waste one of their wishes to wish them back. After the kids use up all their wishes, Scrooge finds out about the genie and becomes his new master. What the family didn't know much about was that the genie's meanest master was still out looking for him. Even though, it has been centuries, he's still out there looking for him due to his wish for immortality. The genie accidentally stumbles onto Dijon, who becomes his new master and wishes to take over Scrooge's money bin. Unluckily for Dijon, Scrooge knew exactly how to trigger all the alarms in his bin, so he planned to invade it with the kids. However, Merlock manages to sneak in too, and he beats Scrooge to the lamp and wishes for his money bin to transform into a sky fortress. Scrooge manages to steal the lamp back and makes his last two wishes. This was just a very well made movie. Rip Taylor did an unbelievable job as the voice of the genie. The same thing goes for Christopher Lloyd as Merlock. This film is highly recommended by me for Duck Tales fans and even Duck Tales haters! If there was a special edition DVD of this movie, I'd get it!
