Have said frequently about loving animation to bits and always have. Not just Disney, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Tex Avery and Hanna Barbera, but getting older it also broadened to include Pixar, Studio Ghibli, Soyuzmultfilm and Fleischer. It has always been a huge part of my life and helped me through all the tough times in school, with a broader knowledge actually appreciate it even more now.
'DuckTales' has always been a show held with great affection by me. While not quite one of the all-time greats in animation and ever it is still a personal favourite and one of my favourite shows from Disney. Back when there were many classic Disney shows and when most Disney shows were actually good or more, that feeling on the whole is very much missed nowadays. Felt that way as a child, still do. One of those personal favourites from a young age that has held up very well (not all my childhood favourites have), and like many favourites seen recently as a young adult 'DuckTales' is even more entertaining through adult eyes from appreciating the writing and stories even more.
"Back to the Klondike" is one of my favourite 'Ducktales' episodes. Not just very charming and exciting, as well as typically for 'Ducktales' very well made and written, but it was lovely to see a different side to Scrooge.
The animation in "Back to the Klondike" looks very pleasing on the eyes, nothing shoddy about it. Instead it is very vibrant, fluidly drawn and the attention to detail in the backgrounds is also note-worthy. Can say nothing wrong about the music, the score is dynamic, beautifully orchestrated, never jarring with the action and full of energy. Just as animated shows of this kind should be. It is impossible to resist or forget the theme song, one of the catchiest in animation and ever.
Loved the writing, which was witty and very smart while always treating kids and adults alike with respect instead of insulting them. The story benefits especially from its nostalgic tone (being somewhat of a change of pace episode), the very natural and sweetly intimate chemistry between Scrooge and Goldie, which didn't come over as schmaltzy, and a truly excitingly rollicking climax that still gels very well with the rest of the story rather than falling into the trap of being too different tonally. The romance is familiar but always believable and easy to engage with, and the episode doesn't end predictably or patly.
It was great to see a different and more romantic side to Scrooge, without destroying his character. He has great chemistry with the very charming and daringly sultry Goldie. Dangerous Dan is an appropriately formidable foe, not being too scary or too goofy. The voice acting is great, with Alan Young being born for Scrooge, cannot imagine anybody else as him.
Overall, wonderful episode. 10/10
