I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

While this movie feels most like an extended episode from "Ducktales" (Only with better animation) that's fine for me, mostly because I love "Ducktales" and even when this isn't at the same level of the animated masterpieces done by the Disney company in the nineties (Such as "The Beauty and the Beast" or "The Lion King") it was certainly something very entertaining and enjoyable to watch.The plot from this movie is very simple, but also funny and very easy to follow, respecting most of the dynamic existent in the characters from the original series, though it is not necessary to watch any episode from "Ducktales" to enjoy this.This "Ducktales" movie is a perfect complement for the series, and it offers a decent entertainment for the whole family. I highly recommend it.

This is a wonderful little movie for children. Adults will be amused enough to watch it with their kids and I can't think of many things in the film that would offend the sensibilities of any except the most sheltering of parents. Racism against Arabs have been leveled against certain sections of the movie but they do not hold any water. Stereotypical portrayal perhaps but racism in a negative sense, no. One must keep in mind that this movie was created in 1990 and Middle Eastern culture has long been considered exotic, interesting, and mysterious. That is what this movie tries to tap into, not into racism.Scrooge McDuck and the gang go on a short but enjoyable adventure and the voice acting of Christopher Lloyd really earn this movie the seven stars. Your kids will love 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.

When his expedition finds a hidden entrance to the liar of a legendary thief in the Egyptian desert, Scrooge discovers a map hidden in the (mostly worthless) possessions that are recovered. The map leads him closer to finding the treasure that he has searched for most of his life – a magical lamp containing a genie and three wishes for the holder. Unaware of what he has, it is Scrooge's nephews that uncover the genie and befriend him. But when Merlock, the genie's 'master' comes looking for the genie, Scrooge will fight to protect his newfound acquisition.I know I used to watch Duck Tales as a child because I found myself humming along absentmindedly to the theme music but I cannot remember much more than that. This was not a problem though as I only watched it to act as a bit of a trip down memory lane for me. The plot is OK for this sort of thing and allows plenty of silly antics as well as just doing enough for the duration to actually give the film somewhere to go towards the end to create a certain amount of actual drive for the antics. This is not to say it is a great affair because it isn't, but under tens should enjoy it enough to distract them for just over an hour.The animation is colourful and, even if it is uninspiring it still does the job and never feels cheap or rushed out. The voice work is pretty good but I, like many others I think, found the voices of Huey and crew to be rather annoying even if one must give Taylor his dues for doing several voices. Young does a simple job on Scrooge, Taylor is fun as the genie and Libertini is quite fun as the comic relief. Lloyd is a nice addition for adults and he has a great presence thanks to his distinctive voice work but he has little to do and, to be honest, the voice work doesn't really stand out that much.Overall this is OK fare for under tens but I must admit that it is unlikely to draw any audience other than that. Those seeking childhood memories may enjoy it and be glad to find that it is quite well made even if it is unspectacular but it is not worth watching if you have not experienced it before now. Tape it off TV and you'll find it useful enough to keep young children happy but I doubt many adults find it useful in any ways other than a babysitter.
