Toon Zone Talkback - "Darkwing Duck" Vol. 2 on 8/7/07

[Dr. Daedalus]

This is the talkback thread for "Darkwing Duck" Vol. 2 on 8/7/07 (http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=16783).

Some of my favorites are on this set: "Dry Hard", "Whiffle While You Work", "Dead Duck", "Heavy Mental", "In Like Blunt", and others. Doesn't look like there are any special features, though, just like last time. :(

[adoptedBatpuppy]

I have yet to buy Vol. 1.
Those sets are expensive! :shrug:

[Darking]

I've found that Best Buy (if there's one nearby) has the DA sets for reasonably cheaper. Darkwing Duck vol 1 is $25 according to the web site.

Still, 'bout time this came out. And what about Tale Spin Vol. 2?

[Darklordavaitor]

I intend to buy it the day it comes out like I did with volume 1.

"I am the terror that flaps in the night!..."

[Leviathan]

Apparently, the Darkwing set sold better than the Tick and Talespin sets, since there's not a word of either of them being released.

[Ishtar]

I've been waiting for DW Volume 2 ever since I purchased Volume 1 last year. I can't wait!

[CheshireKitten]

This will be a much better set, IMO, than volume 1. My favorite episode is on there (Dead Duck), and I see many that I remember liking a lot.

tick vol 2 is scheduled for a Q3 release: SPOOOOOOOOOON

as for DWD, i guess the eps are still seperated by ABC and syndicated.
I want Negaduck's origin ep!

[Jpox]

I'm excited for this next volume! Lots of great episodes. My favorite being "Life, The Negaverse and Everything".
It's still a shame that the episodes aren't being released with their airing dates in order, just production numbers.

[DarthGonzo]

They are being released in air date order. It's just that the ABC Saturday morning episodes are being held off for what whatever reason. Probably because the 1991 ABC episodes are considered the "second season" when they're really not. The syndicated episodes and the first set of Saturday morning episodes all constitute the first season.

[BrendaBat]

Really hope Time and Punishment is on this next set. The last time I saw that episode it was hacked to shreads on ToonDisney.

That sucks.:( I mean, I love Darkwing, but it kills me that Talespin might not get another release.

Hasn't Disney been releasing the edited episodes on their Disney Afternoon sets?

Regardless are all episodes of Darkwing duck (and the other cartoon) edited, or have some been deemed appropriate as is (as in unedited)?

[BrendaBat]

Hasn't Disney been releasing the edited episodes on their Disney Afternoon sets?
I know that the Talespin set had unedited episodes because when I watched Plunder and Lightning on the DVD it had some extra scenes that weren't in the episodes I taped off ToonDisney (mostly scenes involving guns and Carnage threating people with his sword). Not sure about the other sets, though.


Regardless are all episodes of Darkwing duck (and the other cartoon) edited, or have some been deemed appropriate as is (as in unedited)?
I wouldn't know. The only reason I know Time and Punishment was edited is because the ToonDisney airing was so choppy that it was painfully obvious that stuff was cut out.

[DarthGonzo]

1)None of the DW episodes on the last set were edited.

2)Yes, Time and Punishment will be on the next set.

[KPTitan]

Dudes, I absolutely love watchin' Darkwing Duck! And Talespin too, lol. I just bought the both of 'em on DVD. The episode I wanna see that I've been hearing so much about was Life, the Negaverse, and Everything.

[simpsonsfan]

I bought volume 1 but, I probably won't buy 2 since I only wanted one to remember it buy. Now this is a classic disney show!:zoidberg:

The Tick Season 2 is on DVD. I just saw it at Target yesturday. IIRC it came out the say days as DW Vol 2. No sign of TaleSpin though. :(

[Dr. Daedalus]

I'm glad Disney listened on this volume and put in chapter stops. That was one gripe I had with volume 1; if you wanted to skip the opening song you had to fast-forward, but luckily you can just hit skip this time around.

BTW, I wonder if someone more knowledgeable about the episodes, but thought I'd ask: In select scenes during "Whiffle While You Work", there's a very noticeable trail effect to the animation. Did it originally have that? I can't remember. I hope it did, because otherwise that would suggest a poor transfer job.

Thankfully this isn't present for the entire episode or anything, but when it comes up it sticks out like a sore thumb.

EDIT: There's some of this in Heavy Mental, too.

[Dr. Daedalus]

Two other things I've noticed about this set as I've been going through it:
-There don't seem to be any Walt Disney Australia-animated episodes on this set (well, "Heavy Mental" is, but I don't count that since Freelance Animators actually animated it). What a shame. Oh well, at least there are some Walt Disney France and Japan episodes, and the one Wang episode ("The Darkwing Squad") looks pretty good.
-Aside from the trail effect I mentioned earlier, there seem to be some other video issues on this set, like dot crawl and a bit of color bleeding. And some episodes seem to really washed out colors. Kind of disappointing.

[DarthGonzo]

Here are my episode reviews, taken from the volume 1 thread last fall:

All's Fahrenheit in Love and War - this one's on my bottom 5 of my favorites. Bland Sunwoo animation, an incredibly bland villian and lightening bugs that look like they'd be more at home on Rescue Rangers sink this one.

Whiffle While You Work - okay so what if it's animated by Kennedy Cartoons? It's got some nice jokes about the video game industry, it features what's basically the origin of Quackerjack and it also has some nice Startoons quality animation. Not too shabby.

Ghoul of My Dreams - not a favorite of mine, although I know some people are more into the Morgana stories than I am. The villian - Nodoff - is also not a favorite of mine either. Also important to note is that Morgana is still a villian here, whereas her only appearance in the first set shows her and Darkwing dating.

Adopt-a-Con - an enjoyable, and surprisingly clever, Tuskernini episode. Great gags from start to finish.

Toyz Czar Us - it treads what's by now a tired plotline - Darkwing quitting crimefighting - but is saved thanks to strong animation from WDTA-Japan as well as a delightfully zany performance by Quackerjack.

The Secret Origins Of Darkwing Duck - do yourself a favor and don't take this at face value. Nothing in this episode is canon, which makes it all the more enjoyable.

Up,Up, and Awry - this was almost a trainwreck thanks to sloppy Kennedy animation, but Gizmoduck's guest-starring role makes it worth a watch. Oh, and Megavolt is in this one too.

Life, the Negaverse, and Everything - many fans will rightly tell you this is the best Darkwing episode. Although the story is fairly simple, there's a TON of eye candy here and it's all beautifully animated. One of the absolute best.

Dry Hard - another Kennedy show but this one isn't all that bad. And the animation itself really isn't too horrible. It's the origin of Liquidator as well as the only show to feature said villian on his own. I love the hard water idea - but I can see where thinking up new ideas for this character may have been difficult.

Heavy Mental - they're miscredited but that's definitely New Zealand's Freelance animation studio at work here - their only Darkwing show. The new characters who look like they'd be better off in a Goof Troop episode make this show unique, as does the darker nature of the show in general.

Disguise the Limit - this one seriously runs out of steam in the last few minutes but it has some incredibly funny moments. Plus it's a Negaduck episode, and he always makes for an entertaining time.

Planet of the Capes - the second and last Comet Guy episode - and I dont think it's as good as his first. The climax is pretty easy to figure out as well. Gets some points thanks to DW's hilarious lesson on villians (and I'm doing this from memory): "This is Quackerjack. He is what we call a real sicko."

Darkwing Doubloon - it's got DW, LP and Gosalyn. It's got the Muddlefoots. It's got Stegmutt, Gizmoduck and Fenton Crackshell. It's got the Fearsome Five. So where did everything go horribly wrong?

It's a Wonderful Leaf - the Christmas show, obviously. In that regard it's pretty unique, but nothing special. The sugary ending seems too tacked on I might add.

Twitching Channels - oh how I wish anyone else aside from Sunwoo did this show. Putting Darkwing in the human universe offers so much great visual potential, but artisitically this episode is pretty bland. Interesting commentary on the differences between the Sunwoo and the Austrailian styles as well.

Dances with Bigfoot - nothing visually exciting but laugh-out-loud funny pretty much the whole way though. This episode is silly, random and pointless but all that works in it's favor. Just don't think too hard about it.

Twin Beaks - I'm surprised at the decent job Sunwoo did with this one. Some crazy, trippy visuals and a nice nightmare sequence make this a real hoot visually. Story-wise it's a bit out there, but the Far Side references always crack me up.

The Incredible Bulk - this one cries out to be animated by anyone other than Sunwoo but it seemed to be the fate/curse of every Bushroot episode to end up in Sunwoo's grasp. Bushroot himself has lost almost all menace by this point.

My Valentine Ghoul - another favorite due to the inclusion of both Negaduck and Morgana as main characters. Plus the Valentines theme combined with the characters involved tends to bring out the female fans. Gosalyn's role here seems a little tacked on, however.

Dead Duck - nearly perfect. I favor this one over "Negaverse". The sentimental stuff works for once and the story is more clever than most episodes and quite adult at times. Marty Ingles is hilarious as the devil and Tony Jay (RIP) makes the perfect grim reaper. WDTA-Japan's animation is beautiful all the way though, with an absolutely stunning A-unit sequence during the first act. Oh yeah, Morgana is in it too.

A Duck by Any Other Name - one of only two DW shows animated in France. Thusly it's got a higher quality look to it than most episodes. It's technically an episode produced early in the shows run - evidenced by the care taken to portray Tuskernini (obviously this is his first appearance), clips of this episode being shown in the opening, and most tellingly, the roughness of Darkwing's voice. Still very enjoyable, despite having the same plot as a Ducktales episode.

Let's Get Respectable - Ugh, WDTA-Japan is having an off day. This episode is all right but would be pretty bland if it wasn't for Negaduck.

In Like Blunt - another episode animated in France, and from the looks of it another early show. Strong animation and a more grown-up feel contribute to a unique feeling. Non-speaking cameos from a slew of Ducktales villians also make this worth a look.

Quack of Ages - whoever was in charge of color key for this episode made an incredibly distracting goof with this show. Quackerjack's neck and hands are painted the same color as his beak. Even aside from that, this episode is pretty weak.

Time and Punishment - a favorite of fans for fulfilling a "what if" scenario placing a character in the future and meeting older versions of the cast. A very strong, dark show with some great lines from Megavolt and Quackerjack.

Stressed to Kill - if this wasn't animated by WDTA-Japan I don't think it'd be as memorable. It's also another Megavolt and Quackerjack team-up which ends with the two villians helping the good guys save the day. Not too bad.

The Darkwing Squad - the last major appearance of both SHUSH and Steelbeak in the series. I'm left cold on it and the ending only serves to make the whole thing even more confusing.

[Dr. Daedalus]

My favorites on this set:
-Whiffle While You Work: I usually like cartoons where the characters enter video games, so this was fun as well. I always crack up at the enemy in the game muttering "Get im! Get im!", and the calm female announcer voice in the video game.
-Dead Duck: One of the few DD episodes to generate true tension as to how it would turn out. I seriously wondered how Darkwing was going to get out of his hopeless situation, and it literally goes right up until the end for us to find out.
-Life, the Negaverse and Everything: It's essentially Bizarro St. Canard, not an especially original idea, but what can I say? I like it, especially the superior animation.
-Dry Hard: Probably Kennedy's best episode overall: Some good squash and stretch and cartoony animation. Liquidator rules, simply because of how creative he is as a villain, and how he totally distorts the city's water supply.
-Twitching Channels: Great entertainment industry in-jokes. Though I agree it might've been even better by Walt Disney Japan or Australia.
-A Duck By Any Other Name: I mainly like this one for the exaggerated WD France animation, since its plot is typical "misunderstanding causing the sidekick to be treated like the hero" fare. Tuskernini had some good material, though.
-In Like Blunt: Excellent WD France animation, and Agent Blunt offered a good conflict and contrast for Darkwing.
-The Darkwing Squad: I love Gryzlikoff so this one was a treat, especially when he "defected". Some of the antics by cocky Darkwing and the agents-in-training who followed him (a little too well) were good, too.

[DarthGonzo]

-There don't seem to be any Walt Disney Australia-animated episodes on this set (well, "Heavy Mental" is, but I don't count that since Freelance Animators actually animated it). What a shame. Oh well, at least there are some Walt Disney France and Japan episodes, and the one Wang episode ("The Darkwing Squad") looks pretty good.


As far as "Heavy Mental" is concerned I've spotted just one solitary shot that looks like it was animated by WD-Australia. Everything else is definitely Freelance which is a shame because this episode looks like it had a lot of terrific layouts and poses that were mangled when the show went to animation. One wonders why - like Goof Troop - Disney sent a single episode to Freelance like that.

So otherwise, WD-Australia is nowhere to be found on this set. They only animated 3 episodes for the syndicated run, and those are all found on the first set. The other 6 Australian episodes were broadcast as part of the Saturday morning run. My guess is that Australia animated a small handful of the earlier broadcast DW episodes before moving on to Goof Troop, which was a much bigger workload for them.

As for the other animation studios featured on this set, twelve of them are animated by Sunwoo. Their work on Darkwing really isn't so bad considering the layouts and character designs are so strong. On the other hand, I think their stuff on Goof Troop, Bonkers and Aladdin is incredibly bland. 4 episodes are animated by WD-Japan's A-unit crew and they always turn out great stuff. Japan's B-unit team turned out 2 episodes which are decent (like a more polished Sunwoo) but nothing spectacular. 4 Kennedy Cartoons episodes are found on this set, 2 of them featuring animation by John McClenahan before his Startoons crew moved exclusively to animating for WB. Like Australia, Kenndy stuff was only found in the fall portion of the original broadcast run of Darkwing Duck.

Hanho Heung-Up and Wang only animated one episode each on this set. There'll be a lot more of their stuff showing up on the third volume - whenever that gets released. And as for WD-France well, their stuff in really in a class by itself. I only wish they handled more episodes of the show.

Question guys...

I finally got to watch "Time and Punishment" on the DVD set. Luckily the sequence with Darkwarrior backing Gosalyn against the wall with a gun is not edited like I remember it being in the Toon Disney version. However, in the unedited version did they ever explain how Megavolt got his powers back? I don't have my old videotapes handy right now and my hope is that the original broadcast didn't show this either considering how nothing else on either DW set is edited.

Thoughts?

Everything else is definitely Freelance which is a shame because this episode looks like it had a lot of terrific layouts and poses that were mangled when the show went to animation. One wonders why - like Goof Troop - Disney sent a single episode to Freelance like that. My guess is that Australia was swamped with stuff (like you said below, they were starting to work on Goof Troop), so they outsourced it even further to Freelance, who needed the work. And then both studios got credit. I agree that the outcome of "Heavy Mental" was pretty disappointing; I can only imagine how great it would look in the hands of Australia itself. But Freelance's slow motion, rough-around-the-edges animation didn't lend well to it.

Just curious, though... what specific scene are you referring to that you think was animated by Australia?

So otherwise, WD-Australia is nowhere to be found on this set. They only animated 3 episodes for the syndicated run, and those are all found on the first set. The other 6 Australian episodes were broadcast as part of the Saturday morning run. My guess is that Australia animated a small handful of the earlier broadcast DW episodes before moving on to Goof Troop, which was a much bigger workload for them. Huh, so they did. In fact, looking over that 1991 ABC season, it looks like the majority of episodes were done by the better studios (Australia and Japan). Disney must've wanted to hook the Saturday crowd.

And yeah, Australia definitely did more work for Goof Troop, and later Bonkers. Oddly though, Australia didn't animate too many episodes of Aladdin. They must've been focusing more on features by that point.

As for the other animation studios featured on this set, twelve of them are animated by Sunwoo. Their work on Darkwing really isn't so bad considering the layouts and character designs are so strong. On the other hand, I think their stuff on Goof Troop, Bonkers and Aladdin is incredibly bland. Agreed. While I don't think Sunwoo's work on Darkwing Duck was terrible, I prefer some of the other studios over it. But Sunwoo's work on later Disney shows... ugh. Some of those Sunwoo-animated Bonkers and Goof Troop episodes are near unwatchable to me- so stiffly animated, with bland facial expressions and poorly-timed sight gags, a flaw for shows which contained lots of attempts at comedy.
Hanho Heung-Up and Wang only animated one episode each on this set. There'll be a lot more of their stuff showing up on the third volume - whenever that gets released. And as for WD-France well, their stuff in really in a class by itself. I only wish they handled more episodes of the show. Hanho's sole episode on the second set, "Quack of Ages", was rather underwhelming. After their stand-out job with "Dirty Money", I was expecting something with similarly exaggerated cartoony animation but it felt like a typical Sunwoo episode.

[DarthGonzo]

Just curious, though... what specific scene are you referring to that you think was animated by Australia?

It's the shot towards the end with Darkwing walking towards the Norma Ray Gun saying "I'll just flip the reverse switch on this thing." I slow-moed it the other day while I was watching it. That's definitely Australia.


Huh, so they did. In fact, looking over that 1991 ABC season, it looks like the majority of episodes were done by the better studios (Australia and Japan). Disney must've wanted to hook the Saturday crowd.Possibly, though there were still 3 Sunwoo episodes during that run. The 2 that were animated by WD-Japan's A-unit (Negaduck and Calm a Chameleon) feature some fantastic animation as well.


And yeah, Australia definitely did more work for Goof Troop, and later Bonkers. Oddly though, Australia didn't animate too many episodes of Aladdin. They must've been focusing more on features by that point.Actually, by my recollection they definitely did more than a few, certainly more than DW. I loved Australia's stuff on Aladdin, and by the time Aladdin and the King of Thieves was released they were turning out stuff that was so good it was almost feature quality. Compare their work with Genie in that movie to anything else they did with him on the series. I'm sure they paid careful attention to him since Robin Williams was back, but either way the differences were incredible.


Agreed. While I don't think Sunwoo's work on Darkwing Duck was terrible, I prefer some of the other studios over it. But Sunwoo's work on later Disney shows... ugh. Some of those Sunwoo-animated Bonkers and Goof Troop episodes are near unwatchable to me- so stiffly animated, with bland facial expressions and poorly-timed sight gags, a flaw for shows which contained lots of attempts at comedy.Agreed completely. In my mind, Darkwing Duck was lightening in a bottle. The show was so good that even a major negative like bad animation was easily compensated for by fantastic voice acting, great dialogue, terrific art direction and character design and snappy music and sound effects. You can tell the guys doing Darkwing loved what they were doing, which is more than can be said for Goof Troop, at least in my opinion.


Hanho's sole episode on the second set, "Quack of Ages", was rather underwhelming. After their stand-out job with "Dirty Money", I was expecting something with similarly exaggerated cartoony animation but it felt like a typical Sunwoo episode.Sure does. It doesn't help that the person in charge of color key for this episode messed up big time and colored Quackerjacks hands, neck and eyelids the same color as his beak. Moreover, the episode doesn't feature any of that cool rubbery, squash and stretch animation that Hanho did for "Dirty Money", "Jail Bird" and "Bad Luck Duck".

I love our DW/animation chats Speedy. :)

Compare their work with Genie in that movie to anything else they did with him on the series.

I believe Australia only animated nine episodes of Aladdin, not counting part of Return of Jafar:
-Air Feathered Friends
-Do the Rat Thing
-Garden of Evil
-Genie Hunt
-I Never Mechanism I Didn't Like
-The Lost Ones
-Never Say Nefir
-Sneeze the Day
-Some Enchanted Genie

Though I don't know who animated some of the CBS '95 episodes; did they do any there?

Hmm, I think your right about that. For some reason it really felt like more.


Though I don't know who animated some of the CBS '95 episodes; did they do any there?

Nope. Pretty much the same situation as Darkwing. Lots of incredibly bland Sunwoo stuff featuring new and one-shot returning villians. No Abis Mal or Mechaniclees but lots and lots of Mozenwrath.

[Dr. Daedalus]

So speaking of ABC episodes, I know this is a long way off, but how do you think they'll divide up the remaining episodes for an upcoming set(s)?

Personally I think they should just release one final volume with four discs. If they try to cram 12 episodes per disc for 3 discs, the video quality will probably be beyond poor. And I really don't want Disney to spread out 37 episodes over two more volumes, because then if these are still released once per year, the series won't be finished on DVD until 2009. :eek:

[RAINMAN]

Holy slag! I did not know the second DVD set was being release. Now I have wate until next week to buy this.

[Darklordavaitor]

Holy slag! I did not know the second DVD set was being release. Now I have wate until next week to buy this.
This is an example of your poor advertising, Disney! Learn from it!

[LeopoldStotch]

Disney spent a million Iran Rials on marketing this DVD box set.

I hope everyone buys this box set. It has some of my favorite episodes of the series.

[Fone Bone]

I have a question regarding a glitch during "Let's Get Respectable". In the scene right after the mayor leaves the city in Darkwing's hands and Darkwing is on the podium there is a blackout on the screen for about three or four frames. Do I have a bad disc or has this shown up on anybody else's set? I want to know if I should exchange it or if it's just a bad transfer.

[ahem]

I just want to say a MASSIVE thankyou to DarthGonzo and SpeedyBoris- you guys are a fountain of knowledge on DW's animation! PLEASE post more behind the scenes trivia, facts, etc. It's too bad there aren't any docos that cover this on the DVD release.

Another question for you DW experts:

When was the show actually produced? Did they begin in 1990?

[DarthGonzo]

When was the show actually produced? Did they begin in 1990?

Yup.

First off, Disney Channel was airing the show earlier in 1991 so production obviously was going on in 1990.

Secondly, Darkwing himself appeared in the Disney Afternoon opening sequence from day one. All the way back in September of 1990.

[ahem]

Wow!

So maybe even 1989 or earlier? I wonder if that is why the fashions on the DW show seemed so 80s/circa 1990. Lots of flourescent colours!

Many thanks!

[ahem]

At some point, I'd love it if you guys could list every DW animation house episode by episode.

Must admit, I never thought Kennedy or Sunwoo did bad work. :o I'm one fo those guys who can't tell the difference in visual quality between all the DW episodes (ah, rose tinted glasses ;) ).

[Dr. Daedalus]

At some point, I'd love it if you guys could list every DW animation house episode by episode. It's all right here: http://www.geocities.com/tabachanker/dw/episode.htm .

[DarthGonzo]

Oh sweet, Speedy. I've been looking for that guide for a long time. I've been actually toying with the idea of doing something a little more in-depth myself.

[ahem]

MANY MANY thanks!!!! :eek:

[DarthGonzo]

Hey, this is interesting. I ran across this information, wirtten by Tad Stones himself, on this old web page: http://darkwing.bombdotcom.net/index.php?p=characters -


I don't think we ever explained Honker's learning about Darkwing. We had more interesting stories to tell. That's why Tank Muddlefoot disappeared. The show wasn't about the kids and the neighborhood so we didn't need a kid antagonist (although he was used to good effect in the first Splatter Phoenix episode and the first one with the alien hats).
Very interesting. I always wondered where Tank went to after the Christmas episode.
