I should never be allowed to walk into a Wal-Mart or a Sam’s Club (or anywhere that sells discounted DVDs). Usually there’s a treasure trove of films and tv shows I haven’t seen since I was a kid and I feel compelled to buy out of nostalgia. To be fair, I bought Chip ‘n’ Dale Rescue Rangers a few years ago, but just recently found DuckTales and TaleSpin.

At first it was for nostalgia sake and as I sat down and thought about it, it’s an interesting perspective in terms of animation. Okay, so the animation is a bit shady in many places. I have no clue what the inbetweeners were thinking, but hey. Story wise, it’s pretty imaginative. I mean, who always wanted that gliding saucer that Kit Cloudkicker has? Or Sky Pirates? Turning garbage into brilliant inventions to save the day? Eccentric billionaire duck on adventures with his nephews?

…Or maybe I’m hanging a little too much onto nostalgia. I’m fine with that.
