Synopsis

Spoiler shield

With his nephews and niece, everyone's favorite rich uncle, Scrooge McDuck, treks from his mansion home in Duckburg in search of the long-lost loot of the thief Collie Baba. But finding the goods isn't quite what it's "quacked" up to be! Their thrilling adventure leads to comical chaos, magical mayhem, and a lesson about what is far more valuable than money, gold and jewels.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”

I love the series, but maybe because I've watched "Aladdin" it felt like they copied this story so it felt too similar. Just felt like the weekly shows had much more than this so was a real let down as far as the story goes. Was fun to see my favorite characters from childhood again!
