DuckTales, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers: Box Sets Fact Sheet

[Gizmo Duck]

jamminjake245,

Looks like someone liked the sig/image I made for my account over at DVDtoons.


I will definitely be getting both of these DVD releases. Bring on Talespin, Darkwing Duck, Aladin, etc...

[jamminjake245]

Sorry if that is where I got it I did a google search for Ducktales Signature. Do you want me to erase it? srry

[scroogemcd]

Guys stop panicking, Golden Suns will be included on the first disc !

[JEANYLASER]

i can't wait for this on video and dvd. because i love the rescue rangers.

[jamminjake245]

How do you know of that?

[scroogemcd]

Well we still don't know the contents of Volume One, why wouldn't they put Golden Suns on the first disc? Of course they will. It's episode one and it starts off the series

[jamminjake245]

Hmm..maybe they will keep this as it originally aired in 1 big episode or divide it up like they did in later years as 5 episodes. I wonder if that would some who make the 27 comprable to the total episodes?

[scroogemcd]

Either split or as whole, I don't mind

[blackiecats]

Season 1: 61
Season 2: 2
Season 3: 18
Season 4: 7
------------------
Total : 88

Your counting the Golden Goose as 2 episodes.

Ducktales had a total of 100 episodes, not 88. I'm pretty sure the multi part episodes were seperate episodes before being cut together to make a feature.

A lot of cartoons did this in the 80's (to name a couple Thundercats with 'Ho! the Movie' and She-ra with 'Secret of the Sword')

Usually bits and pieces are cut to make the feature flow better.

It's useless sites such as TV.com that have it all wrong Their guides are fan made and usually very inaccurate.

They should have the following episodes listed as episodes 1-5:

1/Don't Give Up The Ship
2/Wrongway to Rongwuay
3/Three Ducks of the Condor
4/Cold Ducks
5/Too Much of a Gold Thing

Treasure of the Golden Suns should be marked as a one off TV special and not part of the main episode guide.

Probably unlikely, but I just hope Disney haven't used TV.com as referrence

I got my information here. Never known tvtome to be significantly off. Can you point us to the episode guide thats says differently. Thanks.

Your kidding me right? TVTome was one of the worst sites to go to for accurate information! Tv.com isn't much better.

27 The Case of the Cola Cult

I LOVED this one!!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone remeber the Cola Jinggle thay sang?

"Come along, you belong!
To the fizz of Coca Cola"

Yeah that was a good ep!

No Treasure of the Golden Suns ? Seems a bit stupid !

I agree. It would be very, very stupid for the pilot episodes to not come out on this release! This will totally spoil the set if it isn't on it and will probably put me off buying it for now.

WELL maybe they are going to release the pilots on differing discs/sets are maybe stand alone DVDs.

I wouldn't mind seperate releases for the multi part stories, however

1/They need to come out in correct order, so the Treasure of the Golden Suns 5-part story would need to be released on DVD before the first regular episode volume. Which is obviously not the case

2/They need to be in episode form (not the TV movie versions!)

So I'm pretty much hoping that the TVshowsondvd episode list is wrong and Don't give up the Ship, Wrongway to Ronguay, Three Ducks of the Condor, Cold Ducks and Too Much of a Gold Thing are included on the first boxset volume.

If these are not included I won't buy the volume 1 set, at least until the 5-part Treasure of the Golden Suns story is released on DVD. I prefer to watch the series on DVD in the correct order and not have episodes missed out because Disney can't be bothered to do their homework on a series they own.

Well, they can put the 2-hour specials on separate discs and make even more money Which wouldn't be so bad - I've always wanted to see those epiosodes in their original form.
I just hope they won't try to merge "The firefly fruit contest" miniseries into a movie...

The TV movie versions are not the original form. The seperate episodes are the original form. Again I agree that giving them seperate releases in not a bad thing so long as they are released in the correct order.

Treasure of the Golden Suns needs to be the first release (even before the first volume boxset)

Just a question; why has Disney been releasing fact sheets instead of full blown press releases? I understand that not every title will get a 1000 word essay of a press release like Cinderella, but the fact sheets seem a bit small and ironically titled, as they don't give that many facts.

I agree! Come on it's only around 6 weeks now until these sets come out and we still don't have an episode run down direct from Buena Vista?

What are they playing at? Don't they realise that the buying public usually likes to know what they are buying before purchasing an item!

Come on Disney get your backsides into gear and let us know whether these sets will actually have episodes 1-27 or episodes from all over the place!

They really do need to address the Treasure of the Golden Suns and To The Rescue question. Will they be on the first volume of each series and if not, Why Not?

Another scary thought which just occured to me is this.

You have 100 episodes, if you take out the pilot you have 95. If you take out the Bubba duck series you have 90. If you take out the Gizmo Duck 5 parter you now have 85. Minus the 4 parter contest episodes and you have 81 episodes.

This set has 27 episodes. 27 x3 (sets) = 81 episodes.

Which means we'll be seeing the "movies" seperatly. Hope it doesn't happen but with the math it's not impossible.

Stop it, because now you are definately scaring me!

Your calculations make way too much sense!

For releases that are now less than 8 weeks away there sure hasnt been a lot of news. Which is concerning.

I've read 12 pages of posts and still nobody officially knows the episode running order of the DVD's!

Why won't BVHV release these details, or maybe they have had to do a U-turn with the episode ordering after realising they missed the first 5 episodes out (Don't Give Up the Ship, Wrongway to Rongwuay, Three Ducks of the Condor, Cold Ducks and Too Much of a Gold Thing)

I just wish we could find out once and for all what episodes will be on the Ducktales DVD and what the deal is with the first 5 episodes!

[drnilescrane]

I can see your point, but you are forgetting one thing.

The TV Movie, Treasure of the Golden Suns was originaly a one of - i.e. no series. After the Disney execs saw the finished product, they liked it so much they decided to make it a series, which became Ducktales. Treasure of the Golden Suns WAS NOT make in 5 parts, it was a TeleMovie. I can't vouch for Bubba and Gizmo, but I'd go with Telemovie seing they were seriously considering releasing one to cinemas.

[corrwill]

I don't know. I like the episodes split up because we get those cool titles, however in the movie versions of the 5 parters there were scenes they had to cut out in order to fit in the 30 min episodes. I say go ahead and chop them up, but be sure to restore ALL the original animation.

I don't specifically remember cut parts from "Golden Suns" but in "Super Ducktales" The scene where Scrooge meets Fenton was cut. Originally Fenton tried to see scrooge multiple times and he ended up getting the job because of his counting abilities. Scrooge throws some change in the air and Fenton counts it. This was never shown in the episode version.

That's more censorship rather than cutting for air time - I know that episode runs short compared to most.

Yep, this episode was censored. There was an unedited episode version with a scene mentioned by corrwill. It was aired here in Poland in 1992.

Sounds like a U.S. Toon Disney edit to me, because the version we got of that episode in the U.K. had all those scenes intact.

Doesn't Scrooge threaten Fenton with a gun if he doesn't leave him alone in one scene?

I do remember the counting the change scene though as well.

[jamminjake245]

Its so depressing to come here because we are all so desprate for information. lol Come on BVHE give us some!! lol

Yes that right, Scrooge is so fed up with Fenton pestering him about the job, he chases him out nof his money bin with the shot-gun.

I was reading through a website a few years back that detailed in DuckTales episodes that were cut. I was suprised to see how many episodes have now been cut

[blackiecats]

I emailed Disney Home Video about what episodes will be on the Ducktales DVD and this is it:

Disc 1:

Send in the Clones
Sphinx for the Memories
Where No Duck Has Gone Before
Armstrong
Robot Robbers
Magica's Shadow War
Master of the Dijinni
Hotel Strangeduck
The Lost Crown of Genghis Khan

Disc 2:

Duckman of Aquatraz
The Money Vanishes
Sir Gyro de Gearloose
Dinosaur Ducks
Hero for Hire
Superdoo!
Maid of the Myth
Down and Out in Duckburg

Disc 3:

Much Ado about Scrooge
Top Duck
The Pearl of Wisdom
The Curse of Castle McDuck
Launchpad's Civil war
Sweet Duck of Youth
Earthquack
Home Sweet Homer
Bermuda Triangle Tangle
Microducks from Outer Space

So no Treasure of the Golden Suns episodes on this boxset and from a previous email no plans so far to release those episodes!

It's great that Disney is putting these out and all, but missing the pilot out and squeezing 10 episodes on one disc doesn't sound good for these releases. I'm gonna pass on them.

[lis]

D'oh! That just don't make any sense... why do they omit the pilot? Putting it on a separate disc is the only reasonable reason, but no info about the upcoming release _is_ something to be worried...
And if they know what they will put on those discs, why there isn't any official information? For God's sake, this is very important for the potential buyers!

10 episodes on one disc suggest that there gonna be some special features on discs two, but again... why don't they spread them over two or three discs? There might be a longer docummentary that needs more space, but I'm quite sceptical about that. Well, maybe that's just a mistake.

Still, I believe, that Disney will do _everything_ to release this show in a way it deserves and I cross my fingers that the first news about finally releasing this great show wasn't the last _good_ news about it!

[jamminjake245]

Good points. I really wish we knew. That is the same info as was posted at tvshowsondvd.com.

This info comes from an official email from WDHV, so it looks pretty official.

I already sent a reply asking about the episodes on the Rescue Rangers boxset.
