Duck Tales & Darkwing Duck










Summary

Duck Tales takes place in the city of Duckberg. The show focused on Scrooge McDuck, the richest duck in town. Much of the plot was based on him and his nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie, going on adventures to get more and more money. They would go through time, confront the super natural, and witness the unexplainable. Scrooge McDuck has to deal with his arch enemy, Glomgold, the second richest duck in all of Duckberg, who will stop at nothing until he is richer than Scrooge. The Beagle boys also try to get their hands on Scrooge's large money filled vault. Duck Tales is considered by many to be one of the best cartoons of the 1980s and possibly the best Disney cartoon ever made.
