The first season of Ducktales has finally ended, having kept us in suspense for an entire year on the mysteries and adventures Scrooge McDuck, Webby Vanderquack, Launchpad McQuack, Mrs. Bleakley, Donald Duck, and of course Huey, Dewey, and Louie have fought and experienced. Now, the long awaited villain herself, Magica De Spell has finally risen from the form of a shadow to enact revenge on her biggest rival Scrooge McDuck.
It's been a few days since the incident which had begun to tear the Duck family apart, and none of them have been able to recover from it. But eventually, Donald and his nephews come to realize from their friends about how much Scrooge has always done for the family, and decide to make amends with him. But with Magica De Spell finally released from Scrooge's seal, the city begins to fall apart from everyone's own shadows turning against themselves.
The animation was once again impressive for the series, coming in many shapes and sizes for the shadows, returning characters, and of course the true form of Antagonist herself Magica De Spell. An episode like this also had the ability to very well portray the movements, and feelings of each character and situation which makes the audience easily understand the things all these characters are going through.
Especially for an episode like this, each character is aware of the things at stake and the dangers that may occur to the city, which brings out the best in them to witness with their perseverance. There are even some emotional times for some characters to come across such as Donald and his nephews sharing tears for deciding to make amends once more with Scrooge, or Lena's sacrifice to save Webby which ultimately lead her to dissipate right in front of Webby.
It was also nice to see many references from the rest of the series come into play within the episode. We saw some small cameos such as the lucky Gladstone Gander, the deadly Gabby McStabberson and reporter Roxanne Featherly within the city of Duckburg. We even saw assistants of Scrooge's throughout the series such as Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera, Headless Man Horse, and Gyro Gearloose play a hand in helping defeat the shadows being cast upon all thoughout the city from Magica's dark magic.
This series' story has definitely taken many turning points through many of these episodes, but this episode has become the top of it all, as expected for a season finale. It has also left us with many things to look forward to for its next season such as the next adventures these characters will come across, Lena's shadow still sticking with Webby, Magica De Spell's next big plan to take down Scrooge McDuck and his family once and for all, and most importantly the journey to find Huey, Dewey and Louie's mother, Scrooge's Niece, and Donald Duck's twin sister, the one and only Della Duck.
Overall, a very entertaining way to finish off the series. Season 2 is already looking very bright for next year, and hopefully more of its fun and creativity will show itself for the episodes to come. I would definitely recommend a show like this after watching this series finale to anyone who not only had enjoyment with the original 1987 Ducktales, but to anyone who would like to see the amazing tale of adventure and family within the series of Ducktales.
