John said let me try something
And everyone said ONWARD AOSHIMA
I'm sorry i couldn't resist
He worked on Gravity Falls as well, after all.
ONWARD AOSHIMA! 😂 Man I'd love to have John on the show to talk Gravity Falls sometime
Ummm?? Thank you???
How often do you think that is shouted at him, Like Daily?
It’s gotta be a lot right.
Let’s think about this more. Scrooge McDuck, one of the most infamous cheapskates in fiction, nearly bankrupted himself! That alone made me realize just how badly it messed him up. That made it all the more heartbreaking
I never thought about that! Just adds even more layers to it
Exactly this. Scrooge's greed was always his primary defining trait, and the money bin is what people remember him for. You think of his enemies trying to steal all the money, and his adventures always managing to add to the pile. But never, EVER would you imagine a montage of the mountain of gold going DOWN because he, Scrooge, is SPENDING that much. The show had already suggested that, deep down, family was more important to him than money, but you kind of take it as hokey Disney lip service - and then you SEE it. He has to be dragged away from bankrupting himself. And this coming after we've just seen his family break up again, it's just the most absolutely perfect kind of heartbreaking.
I also like how, when the plane is perched on the rock, it kinda starts tipping whenever people are arguing and starts straightening out when they're reconciling. I'm bad at symbolism, but I caught that one.
Yah, but he never checked the MOON?!? I mean you would think that would have been obvious to check there but he nearly bankrupts himself looking everywhere else.
@@selalewow I mean a few made it to the moon? But realistically you DONT wanna be looking on the moon. There's a few stable orbits around Earth called Legrange Points. Scrooge wants to look here. Because in Space with velocities getting that high, you'd like to avoid collisions. And at those points, you don't have a giant death rock the size of two continents to worry about. + The Moon is actually far away.
@@selalewow When Della returned she asked him why he didn't check the moon and he looks to the side saying that he did, the people in the ships didn't thoroughly check.
"Everybody hates me and I hate everybody"- Scrooge McDuck in his first comic appearance
That line sounds like something that Squidward would say in seasons 6 and 7.
As someone that grew up on the comics, the sheer amount of callbacks this show had to them made me so happy.
Isn't the way he's sitting on the chair identical to that of its first comic appearence?
Leonardo Bordignon it is

The Ducktales reboot is one of the best reboots I’ve ever seen.
100% agree. It takes the spirit of the original and translates it perfectly to the modern-day
Which is not saying much because most reboots are terrible. Still a great reboot and great cartoon.
@@WarCrimeGaming All of the bad reboots are made by CN.
@@mytunes9050 All Grown up! and The Casagrandes would like to have a word with you.
@@mytunes9050 didn’t they create the loony tunes show and scooby doo mystery incorporated
David's voice acting is superb. The raw emotion in his voice in the "I am" is heartbreaking. He is by far the best scrooge mcduck
David Tennant as Scrooge is so incredible - David & John talk about listening to him deliver his monologue in the interview - he did it in one take!
It's amazing how he was able to fit so much emotional weight into just two words.
@@davidguthary8147 truly
He isn’t the best he still does portray Scrooge really well
@@ChapisHot69 Genuinely asking, who do you think the best Scrooge is and why?
It still hurts that Dewey blamed Scrooge for tearing the family apart purely for building the rocket, especially when you've seen the series finale and discover that it was actually Bradford that told Della about the rocket before Scrooge did. This feud was all part of Bradford's plan to stop adventuring in the McDuck family for good, and _it worked for over 10 years._
Speaking of Bradford, that scene in the series finale also puts him as the blame for speeding up Lunaris's Moonvasion plans all along; hadn't he told Della about the rocket, Della would've never stranded on the moon in the first place, and thus would've Lunaris never encountered her, the rocket and its blueprints to build multiple golden rockets in order to invade Earth. None of this would've happened if Bradford didn't intervene, yet Bradford STILL blames Scrooge's adventuring for the invasion, as seen in the Season 2 finale. Perhaps he was just looking for an excuse to execute his final plan to destroy adventure for good.
A lot of thought has been put in the characters, plots and purposes; I can think of only very few underutilized plotlines. The history of Della's disappearance is NOT one of those underutilized plotlines, given how much we get out of it even well after Della has returned in the family.
Bradford's role throughout the series is always stunning. He's there from the very first scene with Scrooge in the entire series, working undercover in perfect disguise. The way the show used Let's Get Dangerous as a turning point for his character too was so clever and well done. Truly one of the best TVA villains ever
@@The2ndDimension the fact that he's the one who told Della about the rocket means he's the reason the show exists at all AND why the world became more chaotic once the triplets came into his life.
About Bradford, nobody knew about the moon people and Della was always gonna fly that ship either way. The only thing that made a difference was that nobody was ready for Della to go to space, so it was the perfect opportunity to send her away. He probably also knew there was a storm going on too so that was also a reason to send her off sooner, since scrooge would have waited for it to end.
Bradford strikes me as someone who is absolutely TERRIFIED of the unknown. He doesn’t need to know everything, but he DOES need predictability & consistency. Isabella Finch, Scrooge, and other adventurers kept pulling back the curtain of reality & revealing just how much was unknown & unpredictable. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bradford eventually went full Time Keeper & set up an organization to force EVERYONE to follow simple, predictable lives so he would never have to worry about the unknown.
If anything, Bradford intended to have Della be killed in that storm, not stranded on the moon. Bc of that fluke, she was allowed to survive and encounter Lunaris. Bradford's mistake was that he underestimated Della's pilot abilities, as a normal rocketeer wouldn't have survived the storm and would have taken a much more lethal hit.
It makes sense, since it was shown in the finale, that he had no remorse in killing off 3 different people, and almost killing off a 4th
My only problem with the episode is that they should have changed the ending credits for the episode. It’s very Offputting after that very emotional scene to just hear this very upbeat music with the credits. I think the credits should’ve been an overview shot of the mansion with no music as the credits roll
I agree, especially when they had changed the credits for WADDLEDUCK, and would again for the Christmas special. Makes me wonder if Disney had a say in it 🤔
Considering they couldn’t animate the finial scene fully, even though I like it better that way, it would make sense for them not to have a big enough budget to change the credits. I still think it could of been great if they just had no music play at all, in some ways I like how it is just the normal credits. I feel the off putting nature of the scene to the credits gives the viewers more of a shock, and helps you feel the intensity of the scene. Though I fully understand if people would of preferred an alternative credit’s scene.
Reminds me of the Doctor Who episode where Adric died. They ran the end credits in complete silence.
The revival never did anything like that, even in its most dramatic episodes.
I agree. They should have changed that ending credits with a more suitable soundtrack. It's a Disney property, so they could have least afforded to create one. Tangled the Series (a series running in parallel with Ducktales 2017) got those appropriate ending credit soundtracks when their episodes got depressing and devastating (e.g. Queen for A Day, The Quest for Varian). The Last Crash of the Sunchaser would have become fully theatrical at the end.
Disney learned their lesson after this episode
Now that we know Bradford was behind Della discovering the Spear, it adds another layer of emotions to the slides showcasing them trying to stop Scrouge from rescuing Della. It no longer comes off as his business partners doing what's best for his company and wellbeing, now it comes off as Bradford making sure Della doesn't come back so Scrouge doesn't try adventuring again.
Bradford's role in the first two seasons has so many layers once you know his endgame
This exactly. He knew that despite it seeming that Della should have been killed in the storm, he didn't wanna take a risk _on the off chance Della's managed to survive_. In the end, he was correct, as due to several unknown variables, Della still survived (As bradford's intent WAS to kill off Della in a way that wouldn't immediatly make him the villan)
The thing about that scene that stung was remembering Scrooge is a mega tightwad. He wont spend a single penny he doesnt have to.
Yet he willingly and actively "threw away" a massive chunk of his fortune trying to find Della. It shows how much he cared about her that even his fortune took a back seat. Easily the most greedy, money-grubbing character put money aside, albeit temporarily.
2:31 look at everyone’s faces during this, Huey looks mostly surprised and focused, Dewey looks sad and distracted , and Louie looks shocked and sad
When it comes to perfect DuckTales scenes, I truly believe with all my heart that Della returning home in her rocket and her meeting her boys for the first time are both strong contenders.
SUP PARTY PEOPLE
@@The2ndDimension WHATS UP MY DUDE YOUR DUCKTALES CONTENT GIVES ME LIFE
@@The2ndDimension Your Ducktales content is amazing. Please make more ❤️❤️
one of the most painful scenes for my heart was Donald running to the rocket, calling out his sister's name but not getting to see her at all before being trapped and blasted off
Dammit I got spoilered
The line "I am" is just so well delivered by David Tennant, especially if you keep in mind that the animation was done AFTER the voice recordings.
To be fair, I believe they took several takes and voice recordings before choosing the best of the best (not to discredit the voice acting)
@@kyletzzff125 An interview with the creators confirmed that David got it right on the first take.
@@timrob12 Oh, that's impressive!
@@kyletzzff125 Indeed.
Isn't that how it's typically done so that they can animate the lip sync perfectly?
God David Tennant did such a good job in this show, his delivery of “I am” always gives me shivers
DuckTales deserves more recognition than it got
we needed more ducktales merch !!
that moment when scrooge yells at webby and tells her she's not a member of his family
aaaaaaand then comes the last episode of the series, and we discover she's his clone, making her a literal member of his family
I still don't get how people call this episode "that episode" mentioning how it's too sad and arguing about who's fault it was as to how della came into the rocket. It's still my favorite episode because of how sad it is. It just kinda hits home when nobody does apologize and we have to wait until the finale. Like everything about this episode is gold and I've been amazed with it ever since I first saw it
This show is beautiful. It has wholesome scenes, funny scenes and depressing scenes. This scene is great example of this shows beauty
“I am...” and “I wonder who I got that from!” are both emotional quotes in this series.
Ducktales 2017 is how you do a reboot. Reinvented characters, fresh stories, nostalgia only embraced in service of plot or as a brief, unobtrusive wink and nod, a beautiful emotional core that completely reinvents the core dynamics present in the original, completely accessible to those without nostalgia for the original such as myself....and way more.
I was so amazed at the amount of pain and bitterness Tenant was able to emote in just two words. I cried.
The last crash of the sun chaser was the episode that made me sit back and think “this show is something special”. I’m so grateful I got to watch this reboot blossom into such an incredible show in its own right.
This scene right here is what sold me on the show and was the first time in awhile I legit cried over a TV series
Same here, this scene solidified the show as one of the greats for me
This scene was the reason i started watching the show. I have been a Duckfan since i was little! Its such an emotional scene, but what REALLY sold me, was seeing Della depicted on television for the first time. EVER.
Have you not watched Futurama?
“Hear my voice” is my favorite scene in the show. This one is a close second tho!
Ooooh Hear my Voice is SUCH a powerful scene!
The "I am" quote was so heartbreaking and emotional.
I agree, and so is Louie saying “I wonder who I got that from.”
My three favorite/perfect scenes from DuckTales: This scene, the scene in "Last Christmas" where Dewey immediately hugs Scrooge after he arrives towards the end of the episode, and Della's reunion with her family. Not saying there aren't any more, because I loved this show, and I hope more people recognize what made it good.
I really can't get over this scene. All the anger followed by a flood of memories that proved that he is not cheap old Scrooge but someone who really cares about his family. And then the anger came back, the pride, the arrogance. "I am" he said and left me heartbroken. Even now every time i hear his voice i get chills. David Tennant is absolutely brilliant.
P.S Flintheart disliked the video because no one ever covered all his perfect failures. Pity.
Perfect DuckTales scenes?
Oh, I love so much from the season 1 finale. Everyone get's their time to shine. I for example love how Fenton get's to be brilliant *without* the Gizmoduck armor. But while everyone get's to shine, it's especially true when it comes to Donald.
He get's to show what a badass he actually is, how well he knows his family (by playing to their strenghts and even using reverse psychology on the nephews and Webby so they can sneak in unnoticed) as well as how far he is willing to go to protect them.
But one bit that I especially love is when he stands guard to protect the kids from all the Shadow creatures. One of them armed with the Gizmoduck armor, mind you, and he takes them all down, with his bare hands, OFF-SCREEN.
But what really warms my heart in that scene is his battle cry.
"Get away from my kids."
Remember that back in Daytrip of Doom, he yelled at the Beagle boys to "Give me back my boys." But now it's kids. Not nephews, not boys. Kids. Because Webby is part of the family!
There are a lot more great moments. But this one will always have a special place in my heart.
My little brother and I have a tradition where we always dance with each other during the end credits of a show. But after that scene we just kinda... stared at each other 😂
Not from Ducktales, but the scene from Hilda in the episode “The Deerfox” where Hilda realizes Twig is going to stay is realllllly good!
Very true! Also curious which scene is going to come from Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous (If it is chosen)
IT'S SO GREAT! Definitely gonna be talking about Hilda soon
The 2nd Dimension, honestly the whole show is one perfect scene
I love hilda
I just made this same comment. Incredibly emotional episode.
The Ducktales 2017 reboot will go down in history as one of the greatest animated series of all time, and if it doesn't, that's a crying shame. As a fan of the original series and a notorious curmudgeonly hater of all things new, I was blown away by how good this series was and how I liked it even more than the original. Disney was really foolish to cancel this in the middle of a pandemic when all the voice acting and animation could all have continued long distance, and when streaming services need flagship marquis titles to draw in and retain viewers.
Sadly, Disney rarely lets their shows go beyond 3 seasons.
It's horribly underrated.
I'm a grown ass woman in my late 20s and I bawled during this scene.
I think that this scene deserves the status it gets automatically because it managed to make me (and many others)tear up at a Disney duck cartoon. Like if you can get that many people emotionally invested in Donald duck's rich uncle that is some talent.even more incredible considering David Tennant apparently got the line in One take
Even if they reboot the DuckTales series again, the 2017 reboot will always be, imo, the best DuckTales series ever. Before the OG’s come after me, you can’t help but admit, they gave the characters their own unique personalities, along with new memorable characters, told a compelling story, it’s just the chef’s kiss.
this episode just hits different. It's a great way to conclude the overarching narrative of the search for Della, and shows us how Scrooge really does care deep down - but just refuses to show it.
having it be an animatic instead of full animation really adds to it too. It gives it the sense of being a flashback (along with it being black & white), and conveys something emotional without making it flashy.
(oh and I just realized the episode title is sort of a hidden bit of foreshadowing, because Della never crashes the plane for the rest of the series)
I remember seeing this episode and being so sad at the end, what an amazing episode, ending, and a lead into the season finale.
It's true - I've never thought "how are they gonna follow up THIS?" more than in this ep!
Always breaks my heart..
They had no right blaming him for all of it like that. It was never his fault.
Ahhh, the Ducktales ost on the background is so goood
Thank you! I put a lot of work into finding the right tracks from DuckTales to give the video that feel
I wish Disney would release the full OST officially.
MysteryToonGamer, yeah, definitely needs to happen
“I am.” But he had no idea who he tried to convince: them or…himself.
so true!!
@@The2ndDimension thanks for the comment.
That’s exactly what I thought when I heard him saying this for the first time. Poor Scrooge
At one point my internet wasn't working for like a month but I had this episode downloaded and I can't not listen to something I'll go insane so I basically watched this over and over again for a month and I couldn't even watch something happy afterwards and I probably cried more in that month then in my entire life
*Spoiler alert for season 3 finally*
The fact that Bradford told Della about the Spear of Selene just fuels the emotions even further looking back.
I really, really like the callback to Christmas On Bear Mountain with that episode-ending pose from Scrooge. It feels like symbolism as that was the most iconic shot from the first ever comic he was in, like a regression to what he used to be with ties to his family in turmoil.
ugh this scene makes me cry every time
IT DOES... though editing it over and over made me temporarily desensitized to it 😂
I just watched this episode for the first time 2 days and it was the last one I watched before going to sleep and this hit so goddamn hard it made me actually sad for the next 16 hours until I could watch the rest
THE IMPACT IT HAS
I loved that credit scene couldn’t stop smiling
This has to be the greatest animated series ever, maybe even topping Gravity Falls!
Agreed! Sadly, it's WAY under-rated compared to Gravity Falls.
Definitely not the greatest animated series of all time, but I could see how u could argue that this is better than Gravity Falls
@King Pistachion Avatar the Last Airbender, Star Wars the Clone Wars, Invincible, Castlevania, Batman the animated series, Justice League Unlimited, Spectacular Spider-Man
@@cic1470 Adventure Time too
@@cic1470 I’d say Phineas and Ferb as well
Even after knowing the full truth , that the family gets back together , and of how it affected them, the scene and moment still hurts and probably always will.
I will never forget waking up the day after Last Crash, seeing my online DuckTales community in an uproar, my friends distraught, and this glorious article title
"The Sunchaser isn't the only thing to crash and burn in an emotionally harsh episode of DuckTales!"
That day I watched the episode, the last of my friends to do so, and in the group chat there was just _silence._ The entire community was speechless, and there was silence like no other. No one talked about it, no memes were made, no fanart drawn, just a terrible and deafening silence, as we all waited for the Shadow War.
I just want to say thank you ducktales ended a while ago and I've tried watching owl house and amphibia and they're both great but they can't replace ducktales in my heart and it makes me so happy to see someone make a ducktales video especially a recent one
It is a crying shame that this series was cancelled, it could have gone on so much longer
That scene was so well done especially the “I Am”
But I think the next perfect DuckTales scene was from the Episode “Nightmare on Killmotor Hill”. I am specifically talking about when Leena turns into Magica and the rest of the crew thinks it is actually Magica until Leena saves one of them from a falling chandelier, that’s when Magica tries pulling in Leena until the others save her.
Finally, someone who’s talking about the writing genius of “I am”.
I haven’t watched the show except for a few clips. But when I saw this, boy, I got goosebumps.
This video is really well edited - the pacing, music, visuals… 10/10!!
Thank you so much!! :D
This scene broke me the first time I saw it
me too
The last few minutes are a scarily realistic example of how arguments tend to go especially over serious stuff like this. The kids emotions were dialed up to eleven already from the story so were pretty heated to start with but Scrooge snaps back which only makes things worse and it looses him the only other person on the plane who knows the full story being Beakly so it just keeps esclating to the point their saying things they don't mean and it only stops because of the crash. Scrooge made the mistake of not realizing that he's had along time to adjust to Della being gone where as the kids are just now getting the info so their emotions are going to swell and their going to get upset, he had to be the adult and calmly accept his role in what happened so he can get the kids to listen to the rest of it. Because he DID build the rocket, he caused the temptation to exist in the first place knowing full well Della was being really stubborn about going into space. No the entire thing is not his fault but he does hold some of the blame and needed to own up to it instead of stubbornly pushing back.
I loved it since the beginning but I think this was the episode that really cemented my love for Ducktales and thus I suppose the Disney Ducks as a whole.
I KNEW I wasn’t the only one who thought that this scene and the acting was incredible! Still sends chills up my spine even to this day.
This scene hits me as hard as Della grounding Louie in Timephoon. Scrooge saying “I am…” hits as hard as Louie saying “I wonder who I got that from!”
this was such a lovely, yet heartbreaking episode to watch, even today the scene brings tears to my eyes, maybe more so because of one line from Scrooge ''This is a family matter, you are not family''. Who would have imagined that line being even more heartbreaking later on
6:43 * *mega dramatic scene**
Disney channel:DoG WiTh A bLoCk Is CoMmInG NeXt!!!!!
Actually a joke Sean mentioned in the interview! I just had to find a way to incorporate it into the video
So that's why, in the previous episodes, the money bin looked way emptier than in the 90s series
even though della came back later on i don't it lessens this scenes impact
I remember getting chills when I saw that clip and it felt like a stab to the heart. "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser" is legitamitely one of the best episodes of a cartoon imo (or at least in the top ten)
You just have to choose one scene from Amphibia. But how could you choose?
The Hopping Mall Ending
Literally every two minutes of True Colors
That one After the Rain scene
Lean On Me in Reunion (I know you've already touched on some of these but still)
No Big Deal in Battle of the Bands
Definitely several moments in season 3 (the clip from Comic Con of Anne seeing her parents immediately had me in tears)
And several other moments from other shows
The Enchanting Grom Fright Dance (The Owl House)
The final moments of Not What He Seems, the last scene of Gideon Rises, the last scene in Dipper and Mabel Vs The Future, Dipper's confession in Into the Bunker, and the final goodbye in Weirdmaggeddon (Gravity Falls)
The conversation between Guy and Sam in the episode House (Green Eggs and Ham)
Twig and Hilda reuniting (Hilda)
Curtain Call/Time Spent Together (Phineas and Ferb)
All of Zuko Alone, part 3 and 4 of Sozin's Comet, the final scene of Crossroads of Destiny, Leaves From the Vine, Zuko confronting Ozai, Aang lamenting the loss of Appa, Aang regretting running away, Zuko reflecting on his duel (Avatar)
So many great suggestions in here!!!
And don't forget The Confession (Lumity Becomes Canon) from the recent Owl House episode
And the ending to Timephoon, when Della and Louie argued after he nearly destroyed time and space.
I kind of feel like Magica De Spell shouldn't of been the climax of season one, I would have loved if they would have explored more of this type of emotional side, rather than setting up Magica. Maybe even end the season with the moonvasion. Plus I feel like she is treated like a joke the entire series. And in season two they should of made Magica the main threat using the pieces that they built up back in season one.
I do feel like she should’ve been a more serious threat that was either defeated or redeemed. But making her a joke really takes away from the intensity of the potential danger.
I currently haven't watched the owl house or amphibia. But when I watch it I'll binge those videos of yours
Thank you! I really think you'll enjoy both shows :D
Amphibia is such a gem. You'll love it
Nothing is stronger than family
This is a perfect scene
word
David Tennant deserves an Emmy for this scene alone.
i'm SO glad this scene gets some love. This show is amazing tbh.
i absolutely adore ducktales, and this scene, and everything about this, but can i just say 0:05 makes me so happy, seeing green eggs and ham getting a mention(ish)
This episode actually made me cry for about the next few days
2 videos in a minute, noice!!
I literally cried after that episode. I was asking myself: "why didn't you tell them you didn't give up but tried EVERYTHING"
Because the kids didn't let him explain they still keep blaming him
What makes this hit even harder is that Scrooge is a man who would rather reuse the same teabag 101 times to save money.
The first time I watched this episode, I was too excited about Magica's return to properly appreciate what a gem it was. The moment where the kids all hum the Darkwing Duck theme was also one of the funniest single moments in the entire series. This episode really had everything despite taking place entirely on a plane.
I love this scene so much, it breaks my heart to watch it. I think of it all the time. One of my favorite episodes of this incredible reboot.
Do an episode about where Goofy makes a guest star and Donald was in his blue sailor with his red bow tie and blue hat 🧢, but what’s the episode called again
Quack pack
That is such a sweet episode!
It's called Quack Pack
This scene made me think.... And just made me feel something when I first watched it....
What makes this scene soo sad is that scrooge said that he doesn't spend any cents for such thing and flashbacks shows how deep hes money bin gone by, just to rescue and find della. Hes putting all the blames to himself and tried to hide it. And it all burst out when he said " i am" which is soo heartbreaking.
When I saw the episode and realized that Scrooge was sitting like his introduction panel from the first story Barks wrote about him, I nearly lost my shit.
This was one of the best scenes in the show
YES I am so happy to have found a video talking about this. That scene gave me chills, it's one of those things where you just have to sit and let it sink in. Everything about it is perfect, such an amazing moment to experience. Great video!
I had not seen this new version yet. I really did not care. (Tailspin fan here) Now I want to watch this whole show. I am sitting here crying. Thanks for showing us this.
I get why this wasn't mentioned since this video is more about the art/writing, but DAVID TENNANT'S LINE DELIVERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This show honestly made me take all of these characters ‘more seriously’ especially Donald Duck around season 2 🥺 he’s my fav Disney character now ( and I’m being legit, duck tales just aloud allowed me to think deeper into his character and that’s one of the many things I love about it )
I loved how this episode provided more gravity when Donald ask if he can watch the nephews without losing them.
Finally, the Ducktales appreciation we deserve
I absolutely ADORED this scene and sequence from the show. It’s so heartbreaking. You made a great video covering it!
However, I gotta say the one scene in this show that I would want to be covered and really hit my heart personally is Della’s Moon Lullaby in “Whatever happened to Della Duck.” I cried so much at the way it changes the feeling and meaning of the original game music and rock cover of it that played earlier in the episode. It’s so perfect as a buildup and twist on the song and what it represents. “Adventurous and hopeful” music from the montage becomes a “promise to be there” lullaby to her children she can’t be there for. It even recontexualizes the previous montages music because the moon theme cover playing during that montage now represents that all the while she was trying to get home and rebuild the rocket, she was always hoping to be there for her kids.
That is my perfect scene. That episode became cemented in my mind with how genius and surprising the usage of the viral and classic moon theme that I’ve heard for years by turning it into the heart and core of that episode and Della as a character. The moon song is now Della’s Lullaby to me forever.
Honestly this episode made me feel the same way, I was like “Hold on it isn’t gonna end like this right? Right? Frick”
I want this show back. God, I want more of it.
I know i just started watching some older videos but this Oh my gosh I did cry at the end of this and its one of many clips in this show that makes up one of the best disney channel/XD shows out now
Thanks for great content, 2nd Dimension.
OML THAT MADE ME CRY
Very, and i mean VERY few people in the world could pull off an authentic Scrooge after Alan Young passed away...David Tennant, who most people would know as one of the best Doctor Who-s in recent history IS one of those very few, and for good reason.
Perfect.
Just... Absolutely perfect.
David Tennant as Scrooge was on point as usual.
But dammit, DuckTales...
Did you have to go and break my heart like that? 💔😭
wait you feel emotion when watching this
I have been saying this scene is my favorite scene since it’s debut. And the fact that you put all my thoughts and feelings into a video has made my day. And I love this so much.
This reboot is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time.
I'm sorry. "I am" in that context. In that scene. Is actually so freaking powerful. That's amazing!!!! I need to watch this
This whole thing was such a DUCKtor thing too lol “Everyone runs off this and that way and I can’t protect them, why don’t they just listen to me?!”
It truly was an amazing show. Best TV Reboot I've seen by far.
My favorite cartoon of all time
