So, we're just not gonna talk about the Anna Cameo in the Wonderful Autumn of Mickey Mouse?

And how Donald just has this miracle growth bottle on hand just in case he needs to look like this? Got it.

I love Anna Duck so much.

Also, the Minnie and Daisy Bisexual Awakening upon seeing this.

[ducklooney]

I am very surprised that in Chip and Dale Park Life appeared next to Donald, and members of his family and his friends. I mean Daisy Duck, Gyro Gearloose and Donald's nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie. I already knew about Gyro (that they used the Topolino version) since I watched some episodes (yes, I recommend this series to watch, it's very funny), but I didn't know that Daisy and Donald's nephews also appeared, so this scene excited me . Unfortunately they are sad, because Donald got lost (probably went crazy and went out into the wild to live with the animals), but I don't know exactly what Donald's nephews look like, so I just have this picture.

Still, I'm happy about these cameo appearances and I'd like more.

[cosmosrebellion]

I was not expecting Donald Duck of all comics to actually have a really funny spy story. Like, you hear so much about Barks adventure stories that you wouldn't think "Donald Duck vs an international jewels smuggling operation" would be one of his plots. But here we are and I love it.

Also, for some reason this makes me want a Donald/Scrooge/Lupin III crossover. No, the cameos in DuckTales don't count, I want the Lupin gang, but animals to actually try to rob Scrooge.

[haljathefangirlcat]

Now that you mention it, the Volsung-Nibelung-Dietrich cycle would make a good sitcom if you just focused on the zanier parts. The Nibelung siblings Gullrond, Gunther, Gernot, Giselher, Kriemhild, and (maybe) Hagen, with all their pals. Nephews Dankwart and Patavrid; Gunther's incredibly athletic girlfriend Brynhild and her dog and horse; the Nibelungs' best pal and Brynhild's ex Sigurd, who would be the man you wished your man could be if not his moments of random philosophizing or idiotic life decisions despite knowing what was going to happen; Hagen's best pals, Volker the musician and Walther the nerd; local businessman Rudiger and his sweet, cutesy young daughter; socially maladjusted Dietrich and his gang of pals, who always pop up during hangouts despite nobody inviting them... With less murder and more mayhem, it sure would make a good show!

You know, one thing I will always be irrationally sad about when it comes to the Sigurd/Siegfried cycle and related legends is that... it just never gets any of the wacky, zany, "how tf did you even come up that" adaptations and reimaginings Arthuriana keeps getting.

I mean, sure, you do have adaptations with some humor in it, and different ways to mesh Norse and Continental and even Wagnerian elements, and very different perspectives on the same characters. But Arthuriana really has anything and everything from Disney movies to anime and manga to Monty Python movies and musicals to kids' cartoons to A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and all its parodies to Young!Arthur/Young!Merlin Slashy Bromance shows to irriverent French sitcoms to loosely-inspired queer YA romance novels to a few recurring and even main characters in "all stories are true" fantasy series like Once Upon a Time or The Librarians. There's even those collector's edition Merlin & Morgana Barbies that were making the rounds on here a while ago!

Meanwhile, the wackiest, less "serious" stuff our Nibelungs get are:

The brief Siegfried & Fafnir cameo in the Mara and the Firebringer movie, where the main mythological figures are actually Loki and Sigyn (can't really say anything about the books, as I haven't read them)

A weird Hungarian (?? iirc??) comedy movie where Siegfried has a talking piglet as his animal companion for some reason and Kriemhild really doesn't like him but she apparently can't just tell him to get lost and stop courting her so she orders Hagen to drive him away from Worms and kill him, which I've only ever managed to "watch" in bits and pieces

The comedic operetta Die lustigen Nibelungen, which I've never managed to find anything about that wasn't in German, so I'm not even really sure what it's actually about

The 70s porn movie The Long Swift Sword of Siegfried, which... tbh, I'd rather stick to fanworks on the nsfw side of things, if the alternative is Siegfried with a pornstache

A Modern/High School AU fantasy romance self-pub I once found where, from what I remember of the summary and excerpt I read, Brunhild is a Mean Girl/Queen Bee who tries to steal Siegfried away from Kriemhild and Hagen is Kriemhild's shitty jealous ex-boyfriend (nothing against High School AUs, or romance novels, or alternative takes on the Kriemhild/Siegfried/Brunhild love triangle, or Hagen/Kriemhild as a ship... but tbh, I'd rather see all those elements handled in vastly different ways XDD)

A couple of old Italian Disney comicbook parodies featuring Donald Duck and his family (but those were mostly Wagner-based, iirc, and then again, an amazing thing about Italian Disney comics is that they will parody literally everything under the sun from the Divine Comedy to Twilight)

... Siegfried (or Sigurd?) showing up in one of the Fate anime series? Or novels? Or games? Not sure. I've only ever watched like two episodes of the Fate/Stay Night anime and then dropped it because I didn't like the normal guy protagonist always rushing to protect his (secretly Fem!King Arthur) supernatural sworn knight just because she was a girl

And... that's it, I think.

And on the one hand, I get it. With Arthuriana, you have adventurous romances and ridiculous (affectionate) quests and so many different bizarre canons and twists on them that even that cartoon where Morgan Le Fay sends an American football team back in time to Camelot (I think that was the plot, at least????) is just another "you know, this might as well happen" situation. I suppose that, at least by comparison, the Nibelungensage & All Adjacent Stuff may appear more grounded and less easy to play with and bring in whatever strange, unlikely new direction you want. Plus, tragic events like Sigurd/Siegfried's death, Brynhild/Brunhild being tricked into marrying a man she doesn't want, and Gudrun/Kriemhild's revenge, or even Dietrich's exile, are just central to it, so that's kind of a downer already, I guess.

... on the other hand, King Arthur's tale literally ends with him and his son killing each other at the end of a bloody civil war. And it's not like anyone's ever had any problem merrily ignoring THAT part to, idk, have everyone in the story be cats.

All this to say, I'd watch the hell out of a Modern AU Nibelung sitcom. Or even just a Nibelung sitcom set in the Middle Ages, or Late Antiquity, or a vague mishmash of the two. The dream for that would be a Galavant-style show with musical numbers and a lot of scenes poking fun at epic and heroic tropes, ngl.

Actually, let's be real: I wouldn't just watch it, I'd probably write fic and make gifs and fanvids for it!

The Pros and Cons of the DuckTales Series Finale (Spoilers!)

So I watched the 90-part finale of DuckTales, “The Last Adventure”, back in March of last year and I do gotta say, it was indeed a spectacular ending to the most beloved reboot series and to me, it does play out more like a TV movie than a special. Which is why I made a pros and cons list about the finale.

Warning: Spoilers for those who hasn’t either finished the series or hasn’t watched it yet.

PROS

The three part finale actually did managed to wrap up almost every story arcs and mysteries that the third season had to put out.

We actually got an appearance of Daisy’s nieces in the form of clones by FOWL. May and June are really interesting characters in their own rights.

The fact that Webby confirmed as a clone/ daughter of Scrooge McDuck instead of being the granddaughter of Mrs. Beakley. Plus her true name is also April McDuck.

Ludwig von Drake is alive and the reason why he didn’t pass away is because he said that “he didn’t have the time.”

The fight scenes are really well animated.

Seeing Darkwing Duck and Gizmoduck fighting against Steelbeak is really outstanding.

Some of the comedic-parts of the special are really funny, like when Magica turned Bradford Buzzard into an actual bird.

We got to see all of the characters throughout the series in either cameos or just plain background silhouettes.

Manny the Headless Man-Horse is actually a gargoyle who is voiced by Keith David.

It’s really sweet to see Donald and Daisy adopt May and June as their own kids.

The end credits scene is really beautiful to watch.

CONS

We didn’t get to see what happened to Hortense and Quackmore Duck, the parents of Donald and Della Duck.

The whereabouts of Huey, Dewey, and Louie’s father is still unknown.

The Terrafirmians from the episode, “Terror of the Terrafirmians” didn’t make an appearance in the finale.

With the exception of that melon in Moonvasion, we still didn’t get a Mickey Mouse cameo.

Negaduck didn’t appear in the finale.

That’s all I have for today.

A Christmas Carol Holiday Season: "Mickey's Christmas Carol" (1983 animated short)

This 25-minute Christmas Carol was a landmark for the Walt Disney Company in several ways. First of all, it was the first theatrical Mickey Mouse cartoon released since the 1950s. Secondly it marks the voice acting debut of Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse and Alan Young as Scrooge McDuck – characters they would voice until their respective deaths in 2009 and 2016 – as well as the last time Donald Duck was voiced by his original actor, Clarence "Ducky" Nash.

The cartoon's premise is simple: A Christmas Carol starring Disney's iconic animal characters. Scrooge McDuck stars as his own namesake, Ebenezer Scrooge, with Mickey Mouse as Bob Cratchit, and Scrooge's "real-life" nephew Donald Duck as Fred. Goofy is cast as a uniquely clumsy, comical version of Marley's Ghost, while the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future are portrayed by Jiminy Cricket, Willie the Giant from Mickey and the Beanstalk, and (spoiler alert) Peg-Leg Pete. Daisy Duck appears as young Scrooge's fiancée Isabelle (as she's named here), Minnie Mouse makes a silent cameo appearance as Mrs. Cratchit, and the supporting and background roles consist of many familiar figures from Disney's classic Silly Symphonies and animated features.

Predictably, the story is retold in a concise, abbreviated way. Christmas Past omits Scrooge's childhood, Christmas Present consists only of visiting the Cratchits, and Christmas Future just shows Scrooge two graves, Tiny Tim's and his own. And for both comic and dramatic effect, the whole story is slightly exaggerated. Scrooge's villainy is cranked up: he only gives Bob half of Christmas Day off, without pay, and praises Jacob Marley for having "robbed from the widows and swindled the poor." The Cratchits' Christmas dinner consists of a bird literally as small as a canary. And at the climax (recalling Scrooge of 1970), Scrooge falls into his own grave toward a coffin from which hellish fire spews. But of course the ending is happy, as the redeemed Scrooge indulges the Cratchit children with toys and makes Bob his new partner.

Not all Dickens lovers will enjoy such a cartoonish retelling, but to me at least, it has enough charm to justify its lasting popularity. Even intertwined with slapstick and exaggeration, the story's emotions can still be felt: the brief, silent scene involving Tiny Tim's death, with a tearful Mickey/Bob placing Tim's crutch against his tombstone, is especially poignant. The cast of both new and veteran voice actors makes the most of their roles, the warm and colorful animation is of the quality we expect from Disney, and the main musical theme, "Oh What A Merry Christmas Day," is a sweet, memorable melody.

This cartoon can't replace a faithful adaptation of the book, but as a warm, funny, engaging Christmas Carol for children, it's a classic.
