Trivia:

First Disney animated movie to be spun off from a TV series

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the treasure of Collie Baba sequence, when Scrooge orders Dijon to bring their sacks, his "treasure-hunting" outfit briefly returns to his trademark waistcoat.

Quotes:

Merlock: At last, after all these centuries, the lamp will be mine again!
Dijon: Yes, yes! You will be more powerful than, than... locomotive! More faster than speeding bull! You will leap all buildings in a single town!

Movie Connections:

Featured in "Troldspejlet: (#31.4)" (2004)

What one would expect...

"DuckTales" is given a big-budget makeover with Disney, released as a full-length motion picture in 1990. The charm of the TV show (yes, I watch it occasionally) is still here. Compared to many big-screen adaptations such as "Piglet's Big Movie," this is a gem.
