DuckTales

**DuckTales** is a television series starring Scrooge McDuck. It ran one hundred episodes over four seasons. It premiered 18 September 1987 on Disney Channel.

## Summary

When Donald Duck decides to join the US Navy, he enlists his uncle Scrooge McDuck to look after his nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie. Although reluctant due to their hyperactivity and his continual pursuit of wealth, he eventually warms to them upon seeing how smart and resourceful they are. He takes them into his manor, and on a number of adventures. Gyro Gearloose and Donald make occasional appearances, as does Scrooge's old flame, Glittering Goldie. Scrooge hires the nanny Mrs. Beakley to babysit the nephews and her own granddaughter Webby. Scrooge's pilot Launchpad McQuack, Doofus Drake who admires Launchpad, and the McDuck Manor butler, Duckworth, are introduced, as are "caveduck" Bubba Duck and his pet triceratops Tootsie, and Fenton Crackshell, Scrooge's personal accountant who secretly works as a superhero named Gizmoduck.

Most of the tales involve further exploits of characters, a race for treasure, or the group's efforts to thwart attempts by various villains. Among the villains, Flintheart Glomgold seeks to replace Scrooge as the "Richest duck in the world", The Beagle Boys seek to rob Scrooge of his fortune and often target his Money Bin, and Magica De Spell seeks to steal his Number One Dime.
