Grab ya race cars, ya lasers, ya airplanes because it's time for the History and The Games of DuckTales!
Starting with Disney's struggles in the mid-'80s after films like the Black Cauldron this documentary looks into the controversial move of outsourcing some of the companies most beloved characters ever!
Of course, it all ended up well and helped spawn the Disney Afternoon slot with such shows as Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin & Darkwing Duck to name a few.
In fact, the show ended being so popular that a theatrical movie was released, several toy lines, a remake, and of course, you got your videos games too.
This is the History and The games of DUCKTALES...
WOO-OO

#Disney #DuckTales #NES #DisneyAfternoon #WaltDisney #ScroogeMcDuck #KidsShows - Hry
Small correction, Japanese studio TMS was the first studio Disney partnered with ( They did the animation for Wuzzles and Gummi Bears) and cost more than other studios for their quality. Taiwan based Wang ( who did a lot of the cheaper Hanna Barbera cartoons) was only brought in for the last season of DuckTales since TMS was moving on to Rescue Rangers and Winnie the Pooh and could no longer do the show. You could notice a very big dip in quality
Appreciate this clear up mate.
@@slopesgameroom Another correction: When you mentioned Yoshihiro Sakaguchi, your footage showed Hironobu Sakaguchi (creator of Final Fantasy). Though, if that was intentional for comedic effect, please disregard. Great documentary, by the way!
TMS' involvement is even mentioned in the LA Times article shown.
Oh TMS, how the mighty have fallen... (Especially subsidiary Telecom Animation Film though, I've seen PSO2 the Animation and Tower of God and holy crap are those guys garbage (did all their best talent move to Ufotable?) and another subsidiary, Marza Animation Planet did FFXV: Kingsglavie and the CGI for the recent Sonic movie, remember the original Sonic design for that one?)
@@jasonakers6538 Huh aside from Ducktales and Mega Man 1 and 2, he also worked on Street Fighter 1 and the iconic 1943: The Battle of Midway (which sure enough has a banger of a BGM tune) and Final Fight.
TMS did a beautiful job on the series, and animated the best looking episodes. I love how they just somehow managed to capture Carl Barks's look, especially on the dog faced background characters. They did the best of the outsourced animation when they were hired for other cartoons, especially Warner Bros.'s 90's series. Not that the other studio(s) that worked on other Ducktales episodes didn't do a great job in their own right. There was a LOT of sloppy animation that era, and none of it was present in Disney's shows.
When I was trying to name the 7 dwarfs I started naming Smurfs. Dopey, Sneezy, Jokey, Doc, Papa.
But nobody remembers The Snorks...
I found a sealed copy of, "quest for gold" at a used bookstore a few years ago. Playing the remastered version made me want all my fave 8bit games to be brought back the same way
O wow. That's really cool
It comes full circle as in the new series, the Moon Theme becomes a lullaby the nephews' mother sang to them before she got lost on the moon, and Scrooge has performed the pogo stick cane attack in a couple episodes. Of course, the Rescue Rangers video game was referenced in the BOOM published Rescue Rangers miniseries as well, so you can tell how important these games were to the fandom.
I totally agree. DuckTales 2017 brought a lot of fan service to the comic lovers, 80s DuckTales series and games. Loved all the references to all sorts of things, even done to Ludwig Von Drake World of Color song as a passcode in an episode.
@@DDRPenguins72 I still wonder if they had to pay Capcom for using the Moon Theme. Other than that, they referenced the hell out of everything they could. Even brought in Tad Stones for a Darkwing Duck based episode to essentially do a Stan Lee MCU cameo equivalent. Even had an episode that managed to do a "the Seamonster ate my ice cream." bit.
This was a very amazing documentary of my favorite Disney franchise game next to Kingdom Hearts. Though when you mentioned Mickey's Mousecapades, I have to tell you: That's actually a Hudson Soft made game with a Capcom logo plastered for the US release.
Nice of you to mention Wang Film, but you forgot to mention TMS, a legendary anime studio in their own right. They did Sherlock Hound, Lupin III (especially Castle of Cagliostro), Little Nemo, and animation for shows like Inspector Gadget, Animaniacs, Batman: The Animated Series, and The Real Ghostbusters.
Yeah, TMS did great on most shows...Sonic X especially (despite some problems and the way the dubbing was handled even if I liked most of the actors like Mike Pollock from there).
i'M from Brazil. Ducktales made a HUGE impact on my country, during the 90's, and the cartoon, comic books and video-games made part of my childhood, we all love scrooge mc duck a lot.
Love slopes, your videos always make me happy when I'm feeling down. Thank you for your service it sometimes means more than you would think.
Mike mate... Your comments give me that same feelin. You keep being you and I will keep making these videos
Im surprised there was no mention of the carl barks comics
Yuck, thats a pretty major omission
I like that the team behind the Minecraft map (you missed this one) put all sorts of Easter eggs in there for fans of both versions of the series.
Honestly, I could discuss the history of Wang films and how much of a mark they left on 90's animation, but I'll leave it like this. Between the Disney Afternoon and the Spielberg/WB shows, they probably produced more episodes at every studio than the studios themselves did in house. And that shows with them still working with Disney to this day.
They really did do soooooo much. And from what I understand a crazy amount is uncredited too
I love how the 2017 reboot series canonized the pogo stick jump.
I actually did remember all the Seven Dwarves' names, although Bashful took me a moment.
That was yesterday when you had the live stream and I just learned this now while watching this amazing history about Ducktales' games?! Augh, I missed it!!
Love your doco's, Slope! DuckTales was such a great show back in the day and still holds up, even today!
Really appreciate this mate
I didn't have a problem naming all 7 Dwarves when you asked, I hesitated a bit remembering Sneezy but it came to me lol
The most iconic thing about Ducktales is Carl Barks.
The lack of knowledge for the source material is kind of sad among the fandom.
The NES Ducktales game got quite a shoutout in the 2017 Ducktales series in the episode "Whatever Happened to Della Duck" where the nephew's mother is stranded on the moon and sings a lullaby set to the tune of the NES Moon level theme. A remix of the theme appears in the season 2 finale "Moonvasion."
they‘ve really made a great job to their source material and the plot of the shows. even the nostalgia reference are very charming and memorable at this reboot.
Lol “I have a mouth and I must scream” Awoo-ooh!
Ducktales! Woo-oo! So excited for this, keep up the good work!
When I got my NES with SMB/DH combo pack, I subscribed to Nintendo Power, and I got my first issue on October 31, 1989, which had DuckTales on the cover, and being a fan of the cartoon, I had to have it. It was easier than SMB (likely thanks to that issue helping with the first 3 stages), but I played it so much to max out as much treasure as I could. I love it so much, the original and the remake.
I brought the NES game at a yard sell yesterday its a super fun game
Congrats!
You keep going on about the pogo mechanic being outdated and not very good, but I have no idea what you're on about. Save for the first game on the NES (where you have to press both the down and B button during a jump), the sequel and the WayForward remaster is just like Shovel Knight, where you just press one button during a jump to pogo. It's simple, elegant, and timeless.
I wonder, is there a Bass cover? Probably sounds cool.
12:30 not just any Japanese studio but TMS, the studio behind anime anime classics like Lupin III.
The Gameboy version of Duck Tales remains as legendary as the first Mega Man title on this classic Nintendo brick. Few of my first games I ever played on it and on some magical occasions, forever imprinting those games into my memory.
I grew up knowing nothing about ducktails except for playing the hell out of the gameboy game, it was so weird hearing that catchy chip tune as a real song for the first time :P
Ahhhh that's awesome. I love it when my videos trigger those memories :D
The Gameboy game is really good IMO
Cool!
I had a bit of the same feeling when I heard the SpongeBob theme song. :P
David Mullich also worked on the Heroes of Might and Magic games. He was the game director for Heroes 3 and made into a character in the game, Sir Mullich.
15:58 I laughed my ass off when you botched saying I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream
Love how you mixed that Rob Base, It Takes Two in there with the Ducktales theme in there
This documentary is like a hurricane.
I had the theme song playing in my car the other day at a traffic light just for the Hell of it. Truck next to me told me to crank it up.
Fantastic How these complete history videos based on franchises which extrapolate the world of gaming are amazing and seem to really amuse Slope!
Thanks for your work, man! Greetings from Brazil
Bruno... Thank you so so so much for this mate :D
This one was great Slope, such an interesting history with this franchise.
Maybe I'm alone here, but me and my brother LOVED the Ms-Dos Ducktales game xD
Okay, the seven dwarves, here we go: Slappy, Floozy, Cottontail, Hairy, Blitzen, Dingleberry, and Skeletor.
I played the Duck Tales game on the amiga when I was a kid and guess what.... I loved every single picture and sound of it! It was after all a video game about my favorite show when I was young. And like so many games on the amiga, it was so nice looking. Great video Slope 👍🏻
Glad I finally got around to watching this one, great as always! I wish I had been able to play the original release!
I actually had no trouble naming all of the Seven Dwarves, since I grew up with Disney at a really young age, and I guess you can say that a sharp memory is one of the perks of autistic people such as myself. ;)
Ooh I love the old Uncle Scrooge comics!
I tried to name all seven dwarves without looking them up, and you're right, it is harder than I remember. I named six right off the bat, and could not fir the life of me remember which one I was forgetting. After about 5 minutes of agonizing, I remembered Happy.
Hahaha Happy was one I forget sometimes too
So many people really do forget how important this game really is like how is the moon theme not a song in smash (besides well disney)
Some other comments already mentioned Tokyo Movie Shinsha (now known as TMS Entertainment). Years ago, their website used to list all the shows they worked on, and one of them was a pilot film for Adventures in the Magic Kingdom. This never got past the pilot stage, but the game still came out.
Another epic video and content and your production value is awesome! So much nostalgia packing in this vid.
Cheers nerdbit :D it was a lot of fun making this video
Thank you for the outstanding effort put in your video. One of my all time fav games and cartoon from childhood here. We can tell you had a lot of fun producing the content
Grew up with duck tales and never missed an episode. Amazing series and amazing game. Great work.
Yeah, always loved this show. Glad you liked it
Duck tales was one of my favorite NES games, the moon theme is a banger
It's sooooooo good
Duck Tales The Movie was in the Cinema here too. I actually saw it back in the day.
Quest for Gold on the Amiga, now there's the DuckTales game I had!
love your channel please keep up the good work
Great video! It shouldn't come as any surprise that the infectious theme song was written quickly. After watching the Professor of Rock channel on YT for a while now he has plenty of stories and interviews with songwriters who had massive and/or memorable songs that were quickly written for one reason or another.
Both the original NES Duck Tales & Rescue Rangers games were awesome back in the day. I never owned either of them but rented them a number of times each! I was at the age where I was young enough to be a big fan of those shows but old enough to also be really good at the games! Good times! :)
I know blurs song 2 (which has a very similar structure) was also written super quick too
I'm still in a state of shock having just learned that the "I'd buy THAT for a dollar!" guy from Robocop is/was(RIP) Burgess F'N Meridith..aka Mickey!Rocky's trainer in 1 thru 3.
DuckTales 2 on the NES is probably my favorite game on the system.
DuckTales both the games and cartoon series are so nostalgic.
They really are
Im ecstatic youve made this Daniel. Ducktales is amazing!
More than welcome buddy
My goodness, moon theme is the best nes music ever
It's weird hearing it slowed down in this video but yes, I totally agree.
1:42 I never thought I'd see Wilbur Wilde show up in a Slopes Game Room video, but there his is.
You and GURU Larry always put out great vids!!! Keep em up!!!
I agree :P
Duck Tales aside - Slope is also Board Game Geek ! Nice ;)
small correction as well...I've known the Seven Dwarves were Sleepy,Happy,Dopey,Grumpy,Sneezy,Bashful,Doc since i was a little kid...it might be a USA thing though ...or i am just weird ...either way it was common knowledge to me lol....carry on...you're awesome keep up the good work ...ohh also you know what the names of the Dwarves were in Shelly Duvalls FairyTale Theater ? Bertram,Barnaby,Bernard,Boniface,Bruno,Baldwin, and..Bubba lol
Hey, Slope's Game Room! You should definitely do a video on the complete history of Sonic the Hedgehog since the franchise celebrated its 30th Anniversary this year.
Fantastic vid about a fantastic series (that I watched as a young 'un), I'm a gamer but I love hearing about the show too. Also enjoyed the Kim Justice cameo.
For sure buddy, Kim does great work
Oh my god, THE SHOE PEOPLE, at 6.17 . Had not seen or heard from them in 25years, forgot they existed. Gonna have to rewatch once I'm done with this episode.
Excellent video. Ducktales is awesome 👏
before I begin I didn't know antstream was already out! definitely found a good handful of games on there that I'd happily go back to over and over again... maybe down the line I'll upgrade to a subscription we'll see if any new stuff comes to it later. as for ducktales, loved the show, and the first nes game! also picked up the wii u version of remastered on disc, definitely a great conversion of the classic platformer!
Oh boy...I just gave your video its 666th like while playing the hell simulator "Agony"on the Switch....shits getting real today!
Love the video by the way.
Couldn’t help but spot your board game collection in the background... would love to see some videos on these!
The DuckTales theme, the only theme song of the '80s that Hiam Saban and Shuki Levy wish they wrote.
What about "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"?
Literally the best time to be a kid in everyway, music, movies, video games, cartoons...Me Money Bin! 💲💲💲💲👀
I think an open-world DuckTales game would be a Smash Hit in duck bird people will love it
Euro duck comics #1 in space!
I remember that dos game >.< And a flood of memories came with it
I loved the quest for gold on my Amiga 600. One of the ones I remember fondly!!
Yeah, looking at the comments. Looks like quite a few people do lol
Ahhhh, you know the day is going to be good when Slopes' Game Room updates! Blessed!
Yeah, seeing a lot of our favorite shows done by TMS (Lupin the Third, Detective Conan) is really crazy, especially seeing similar styles bleed through!
Looking into this series' history is so fun!
I'd love to see a Toy Story video in this series. Although I don't know if there were many games total but the snes game was fun and the N64 version of TS2 is my favorite movie video games of all time.
Love DuckTales I'm a huge fan of the show and the NES game and when they did ducktales remastered oh wow it was just so much nostalgia hitting me I bought a copy of the game just for that reason alone just to hear Alan Young voice Scrooge one last time that really gets to me and it was amazing that he was 94 years old when he did that.
June Foray was just a bit older herself voicing Magica DeSpell at 95
Wait, I finally figured out the name of that show I used to watch
Scrooge was willing to kill to defend his gold is his earlier comic appearance so was the mobile game really that odd?
Dude! How could you have keft out Carl Barks & his contribution to the creation of Scrooge McDuck, the comics & all the lore which formed the basis fir Duck Tales?! "Woo-Hoo"
Of course, Wayforward was also the company that brought us Shantae!
Ya tree elves 🧝♀️ love duck tales
15:26 He totally looks like Masahiro Sakaguchi! Are you sure that's not him? =)
Heavy nostalgia arriving in 3... 2... 1...
A woo oo
He wrote the theme song in 45 minutes?!
I wish they would come out with an open-world DuckTales game I think people would accept that
In the reboot the legendary Moon Song was used has the lulaby that Della sing to triplets
I never watch the original DuckTales but I did watch the hell out of that movie, the remake series was really good as well
Yeah the remake has great stories
There was nothing new in DuckTales 2 he says? Except the final boss was a mofo Terminator reference!
Wow is that Michael Knight and KITT on slopes T shirt ?👌👍
Hadn't watched your videos in a couple of years. The pacing of the writing is much snappier nice to see the progression. Your knowledge in this area mean its got some great insight. Vox mix seems a bit harsh but hey ho that's probably what works!
Appreciate you coming back mate. Always looking to improve
I could be wrong, but I think I remember learning about the mobile game. If so, I forgot all about it.
Damn you Bashful!
Damn you DJS!
OMG, I love Crush by J.Paige
9:23 I had no idea Black Cauldron was beaten by _Care Bears_ oof, that's embarrassing! It's almost as embarrassing as if the G1 MLP movie (which wasn't even remotely as good as Rescue at Midnight Castle and G1 MLP was already at a low bar as it was) beat it.
Yeah, that was painful... The care Bears movie is good tho lol
Yeah, and "The Black Cauldron" does suck. I tried watching it for the first time last year, and it was quite painful just to get through the whole thing. It certainly didn't help that they were attempting to adapt only certain portions of a book series, "The Chronicles of Prydain."
@@Compucles Disney only _loosely_ adapting source material? _Shock Horror!_
Seriously though, I doubt that had anything to do with it.
Best theme tune ...
The Lucky Dime Caper is a Donald Duck game for Master System, but you're after Scrooge's dime. It's stolen!
Scrooge also appears in the Epic Mickey 3DS game, Power of Illusion.
Both are worth mentioning, though not specifically DuckTales games.
How could you talk about the history of DuckTales, and not once mention Carl Barks, whose Disney Comics work introduced characters like Scrooge, the Beagle Boys, Magica DeSpell, Gyro Gearloose, and many elements that were the direct inspiration for it? For shame.
This video wasn't without merit, but I'm afraid it didn't do much for me, though that's mostly because I already knew alot of this history.
Every second of Scrooge’s Loot slander in this video pains me slightly more. It was genuinely such a fun game. It’s really sad I can’t go back and give it another whirl nowadays.
But... It does look lovely still
If you're planning more The History and The Games videos, why not consider? The Simpsons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scooby Doo, Paddington Bear, Dragon Ball, Gundam and/or Shrek?
No Googlin', honest: Sleepy, Happy, Grumpy, Dopey, Sneezy, Bashful, Doc
You get a big ol' high 5 from me
I got all 7 easily, as well.
Dude as much i love you video, where did get that t-shirt from, i need it lmao it rocks, met the Hoff a few years back with Shatner and Dolph Lundgren and others on the same day
Hahaha that sounds like an awesome day. If the t-shirt is still available I got it from here... vapor95.com/discount/SlopesGameRoom15 (that's an affiliate link too btw :D)
