My kid's been singing the new "Ducktales" theme song for the past two weeks (GoNoodle, of all places), which is the primary motivation for digging up the original show. "The Movie" is the easiest thing I could get my hands on (plus, it's got Christopher Lloyd, which even back when I was 10, perked up my ears). Turns out, it wasn't the best move, and I swear it's not because I'm a Disney cynic. But the kid really liked it.
It's mostly the writing; the story oddly fell somewhere between "Aladdin" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark". But nothing really worked for me; the voice work, the low-level animation, the grating genie-turned- hip sidekick. I don't mean to be overly negative with this, but this is just about as anemic as it gets.
5/10
