Throwback Thursday: DuckTales
Today we are introducing a new feature here on Mickey by Mel, Throwback Thursday, Disney wonders of long ago that we look back on with fondness. It will range from restaurants and food items, to rides, and even Disney cartoons. Which brings us to today’s entry – DuckTales! DuckTales was a Disney cartoon series that ran from 1987 to 1990. It starred Scrooge McDuck and the antics of Huey, Dewey, and Louie with occasional appearances by Donald.
We found these wandering through Costco! It was $9.99 for the entire season (they had seasons 1-3, season 4 has not been released). Chris and I were both so excited to see a show we remembered from our childhood and we wanted to share it with our kids, so we picked it up. Within the first 5 notes of the theme song coming through our TV, I could remember every word to the theme song like I had just watched it yesterday. The show is as funny and charming as I remember it being and both of my children sat on the sofa mesmerized by the ducks. I am excited to pick up seasons 2 and 3 and continue my trek down memory lane.
Stay tuned, every Thursday we will be featuring a different Disney dinosaur! Based on my absolute love for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, I promise there will be an a post about it. But since the closure of that ride predates digital cameras, I have to comb through the archives of print photos to find some shots of the ride! In the meantime, if there is a Disney artifact you would like to see featured or if you have a photo that you would like to share of Disney history, send it in to us here at Mickey by Mel!
