I think Pooh is going to be the only Disney movie that I very much want to see that majority of my family doesn't want to see.
Screw them. I'll see it alone if I have to.

Why was Rabbit green in the TV series anyway?
Wow….
That would actually be really good.
Wicked would work very well as an animated movie.
I smell a winner…I love seeing Disney going back to basics.
Why was Rabbit green in the TV series anyway?
More of an off cream than green. Not quite yellow or grey either tho.
More a bad paint mix color My guess is a not-quite yellow would be to keep him from blending in with Pooh in group shots.
That would be so awesome!!! I freaking LOVE Wicked and that song always brings tears to my eyes because its so good!
Gotta agree! I wanna see this done now <3

Reminds me how I liked that show.
Maybe because the dubbing was done by actual actors.
Pigglet's dub actor played a notorious drunk in a live action sitcom and a crazed police academy chief in a series of movies btw :ninja:
I'm not seeing a cast listing for Gopher. This saddens me greatly as he is awesome. "I'm not in the book, ya know!"
It's always kinda bothered me that Gopher's been excluded from the majority of the movies. He makes such a great addition!

That the groundhog ?
The voice actor round here actualy made this whistly sound while speaking, so yeah, a cast that actualy tried.
I can't remember who played him on the TV show, but Howie Morris played him in the film. Anything with Ernest T. Bass in it is going to be awesome.

Tha reminds me of when I used to read Duck Tales comics. Then I discovered the italian ones which told stories on like thirty and even fifty pages, and with like five stories in a massive book put out once a month and I was sold for that.
Hell there are stil a few of those that I think are fun to read , even if for the unintentionaly hilarious.
Like an esoteric brotherhood trying to recruit Scrooge. Gratious Latin doesn't begin to describe the set pieces for that story .
But there is this one story, done by this one artist with the realy wacky art style (kind of like stuff on the new Tex Avery show as far as body anatomy goes) , which is such a hilarious story of how Scrooge wants Donald to go and fetch him cheap airline ticket and literaly every single possible thing goes wrong for Donald in the most mean and brutal sort of way.
! and the real nutkicker is Scrooge, like so many other times, forgot he actualy owns the travel agency so he didn't even have to send Donald. And then there is the end where Donald , after a whole day of being beaten, robbed, swindled, yelled at, abused and ignored , he loses his way in this giant net of highway lanes, and ends up colapsing and falling asleep in a treash heap….mere feet away from his house door, which he didn't see cause of the fog.

Wacky art style… Is it William van Horn by any chance?
There's something about the Italian Disney comics that rub me the wrong way. I don't know if it's the artwork some of them have or the writing, but they strike me as being unbelievably bland when put alongside Barks, Gottfredson, Rosa, and van Horn's work and don't really match up to Jippes, Strobl, Taliaferro, Murry, or Moores either.
The Vicar stuff in particular has never appealed to me; while the art is solid, the plots always seem generic and too many of the stories seem to be nothing more than rewrites of Barks' material.
I want to know who the people at the Dutch Patent Office were who accused Kroyer of stealing an idea from a Donald Duck comic.
Just finished watching these, really puts me in the mood to watch some of the older Disney movies. I've never seen Ichabod and Mr. Toad or The Black Cauldron, or most of those short films (Fun and Fancy Free, etc.). I thought it was really neat seeing the progression each year a new Disney movie came out. Though some of the later ones are kinda meh, like Home on the Range… ugh.

Well there is a lot of bland shit there.
Stil there are quite a few stories there that are realy fun to read. Like the Mickey story where everyone in his town is driven insane by some sort of mind cracking frequence this crackpot doctor made to fend aliens off.
And then there is the story where Mickey actualy saves Brutus from a foreign country where a corrupt sherif wants him to take the blame for his gun smuggling.
Yes they showed a gun. Or rather a toll officer biting into a riffle to see if it was chocolate but you get the idea.
And I don't think it is that guy. I could try looking it up on inducks somehow but I dunno where the few magazines I have left are to try and find it through the code on the title page.
Basicly the guy had these realyy twisty human characters that stretched and bent in all manner of bizzare ways.

This article is the most awesome thing ever. I've always loved Carl Barks, and this gives me all the more reason to do so
"Oh, and by the way, Barks accidentally invented a legitimate scientific formula and the compounds it would interact with."
http://www.cracked.com/article_19021_5-amazing-things-invented-by-donald-duck-seriously.html
Holy Crap. Now I know why Inception let me down; I'd already seen my personal definitive version of dream invasion years before, told with anthropomorphic ducks bu DON EFFING ROSA. How I missed this considering Just a Dream is one of my absolute favs, is beyond me.
And just to defend the good name of scrooge: Goldies presence in the dreamwasn't because "he kidnapped and tormented her in the past" (she got paid for chrissakes, her staying was entirely volountary), but rather because of Scrooges eternal regret that he didn't settle down with her.

Since I don't have my Donald Duck Jumbo-book collection here I can't check, there were two wacky italians I really liked and whose names I can't remember. One wrote a story where everyone got locked inside the money bin and had to fight off Gyros insane security system, another did one where Duckburg became obsessed with fashion, and Donald became manager for an exotic bombshell sponsered by Scrooge.
On ocassion though, I found the Mickey Mouse stories to be much more interesting, going where the rest of the disney world didn't dare. Guns were common, and the Phantom Blot was a recurring and menacing villain. In one of my favourite stories he forces Mickey to feed himself to crocodiles in order to save his friends from them. Or another where every duckburg citizen is replaced with sadistic undead spectres who torture Mickey to aquire physical form. It was pretty dark stuff when you're eleven.
Oh, but there was also one Donald Duck one where he battled demons with his awful singing, and made friends with satan. That one was weird.
Oh there was another Mickey story where he read a story his distant uncle, an adventurer who was investigating various mysteries, and ended up budding into an ancient Mayan civilisation.
One that I am not sure is Italian (because Inducks said they also had Scandinavian stories) is a story where Scrooge loses everything he owns because he uses some sort of alchemycal potion , and in the end gets taunted by the same old scotish guy whose sheep he failed to protect as a kid. Not that bad realy.
Wow, that article totally blew my mind! Donald always was my favorite Disney character.
Wow, that story about Barks discovering methylene was pretty awesome. :D I've read that story that resembles Inception many times, and it's a great story. However, I remember Rosa saying that it was one of his few stories where he got the idea from someone else. He said that some fan sent him the idea, and he saw so much potential in it that he couldn't leave it undone. But he later discovered that there was a movie that used pretty much the same idea (I don't remember what movie, but long before Inception came out at least) and he wished that the fan didn't get the idea from there. He says all this in the comments of the story in the book I have.
But really, I always forget how unpopular Donald Duck is everywhere compared to Finland. The magazine has 1 million weekly readers in here, and that's a fifth of Finlands whole population. It's funny how even among University students, it isn't so rare to hear someone say "I remember reading about it in Donald Duck" when talking about some small trivia or uncommon words. I also think that there's something really lacking about many Italian Donald Duck comics: they repeat the same formula over and over and rarely feel fresh. Of course, Carl Barks and Don Rosa are my favorites as well, but there's also lots of other great artists like Esteban and Rodriques. I also appericiate the scripts written by Kari Korhonen, because he always thinks from a new perspective or gives the characters more background. For example, he has written a lot of adventures for Donald as a child, even though the concept isn't made up by him.
Donald Duck is also crazy popular in Holland. One out of four people is subscribed to the weekly magazine.
There's actually a Cracked article talking about it.

It was The Cell. I happened to have my copy of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion handy; in fact, I was just looking through it about five or ten minutes before taboo posted that link the other day.

Damn, I wish it was like that here in Denmark. Magazine sales are plummeting, and the publisher is so desperate to retain readers that they do all sorts of stupid commercial shit. Donald Duck in Denmark! Donald meets characters from a popular dansih movie franchise! Donald duck story as told by a popular danish comedian! Donald and Daisys wedding, only this issue!
…Sigh, now my conscience and nostalgia is pestering me to fetch my donald duck collection from my parents to my new apartment, lack of space be damned. I need to reread the stories about Magicias crazy family.
And the Scrooge as Dorian Grey one...
And the one where the phantom blot goes for world domination through sublinimal messages and an army of bipedal man eating plants...
They're actually doing a new ducktales comic too.

Dave Bowman: My God, it's full of Beagles.
Looking at the image, I can identify almost all of them except for the Hawk guy (isn't there a character in Europe called Emil Hawk or something like that?) and the guy that looks like Fergus McDuck that is next to Magica. It might be John Rockerduck, but I'm not sure since that's a character I've only ever seen once or twice. I'm not sure who the three on the other side of Merlock from Pete are either. There were a whole bunch of Vicar stories with pig characters like Angus McSwine and similar names so that might be a composite of them all. The guy right behind him with the pencil mustache is extremely familiar looking, but I can't think of who it'd be.
It's odd to see such an odd assortment of characters though; from Bombi the Zombie and Azure Blue/Lawyer Sharky all the way to Pete and Ma Beagle. It's sort of a mixed bag since it means that we're getting a mix of classic Barks, the TV show, and whatever European comics they have lying around.

Yup, thats him. An evil Gyro gearloose, basically.

It's him. Barks only used him in one story about gasoline, but in europe he was used way more than Flinthart as Scrooges rival, for some reason.

Don't know the first guy, but the second was the villain from the forbidden valley story, and the third is definetely Arpin Lusene, the black knight.
New disney comics are always great, but I can't say I like this drawing style. It doesn't look that detailed to me.

I suspected as much though I wasn't certain. I don't think any Emil Hawk stories ever made it over in the Gladstone/Disney Comics era; if they did, then I just missed them completely somehow.
It's him. Barks only used him in one story about gasoline, but in europe he was used way more than Flinthart as Scrooges rival, for some reason.
It's probably because Barks didn't use him more than that one time. Of course, he didn't use many supporting characters besides the Beagles more than once; even Glomgold was only in three or four stories.
Don't know the first guy, but the second was the villain from the forbidden valley story, and the third is definetely Arpin Lusene, the black knight.
I know that character in the bowler and striped shirt from somewhere, but I can't place him. Seems like he might have been borrowed from a different Disney series, but I can't say for sure.
Then again, he might be a European character that I'm confusing with somebody else entirely.
New disney comicks are always great, but I can't say I like this drawing style. It doesn't look that detailed to me.
Out of the lot, Launchpad comes across best followed by the Beagles. Huey, Dewey, and Louie don't work for me at all. Azure Blue really comes across oddly as he's more angular and squarish while the rest of the characters have round features.
It's a just a mockup though.

That would be Chisel McSue, from the Horseradish Treasure by Barks.
Its an interesting idea for a cover but I can't bring myself to like the drawing style of it. Some of the character's seem off model and there's something about the nephew's eyes that bug me.

They have that Order of the Stick big-eye, little=eye thing going on and the eyes seem too small relative to the size of the head.
Oh right her crazy coffee adicted grandma and her crow allergic wanna be faincé.
There was a really great one where Magicia claimed the weapons of the greek gods for a full scale moneybin attack. Come to think of it, I really love the Magicia stories…especially the one where she steals the lucky dimes of parralel dimensions, and the one where she gives the beagle boys superpowers.
And I remember a story where Bob tries to take over the world by drawing a giant hypnotising symbol on the moon !

Wasn't that with the mole guy? Who was in the haunted mine story, and had an evil twin?
It's probably because Barks didn't use him more than that one time. Of course, he didn't use many supporting characters besides the Beagles more than once; even Glomgold was only in three or four stories.
And yet he basically created the entire Duckverse cast. Beagle boys, Gyro, Scrooge, Glomgold, Magicia, Gladstone…he just had a knack for creating memorable characters right off the bat. And he's responsible for transforming the Nephews from hellraisers into (literally) genius Boy scouts.

And upon further scrutinization, I find it strange that they've omitted Beagle Sr and Soapy slick from a collage of mostly Barks/Rosa villains. Anyone know who the Poochie in the upper left corner is?

The evil mole guy twin wanted to take over some lost tribe in the ass crack of the amazon by returning them some idol that Picasso aparently chiseled while traveling through South America.
And that was in the same issue as the one with the "fortunetellers"/sages. You know, the guys in purple who stay on their planet in another galaxy reciting obvious stuff all the time ? Remember the "thorn path" Scrooge had to take to gain his license ? I mean god damn that was brutal.

Yeah, Barks was one of the more creative persons to ever live. It's a shame that there's an entire generation without easy access to his work in his own country.
Who's Azure Blue?
He's originally from The Golden Helmet where he claimed to be descended from Olaf the Blue and was the owner of North America as a result. He had Lawyer Sharkey draw up documents to this effect.
His main gimmick was that anytime he found something that went against his claims (like somebody else might have discovered North America first), he'd simply alter his story to conform to the new facts, which Sharkey would cheerfully go along with and support with rambling latinesque phrases.
If somebody challenged his claims, Azure would demand proof that they weren't true. Since they couldn't provide it, Lawyer Sharkey would declare Blue the winner of the argument.

Not as brutal as the one where Scrooge nearly has himself beaten to death, because concussions appearantly lead to time-bending astral projections.

Oh yeah, I remember him. I never actually got my hands on the Golden Helmet, but Rosas' the Columbus Charts was basically the same deal. I obviously only knew his danish name, and would never have gussed a grouchy old opportunist like him would have a name like "Azure Blue". Sounds more like a beach resort.

Her grandma wants to use cupids arrow on Scrooge , because he's well off and would make a good match for her grand daughter (L,O,L) and her wanna be fiancé gets jealous and kick the bow making the arrow hit Donald instead.

Seeing as how Azure is a shade of blue and he's supposed to be a descendant of Olaf the Blue, it's almost certainly a pseudonym to make his claim look more legitimate.

He was fairly common early on and was phased out as time went by. The usual group were Bigtime, Burger, and Baggy, but Bebop would either by the fourth Beagle or replacement for one of the earlier ones.

The art in the trailer is awesome. I'm not a big of The Poo, but i can`t help feeling a powerful nostalgic sentiment everytime a see this trailer. It really takes you to a time when when almost every book you had, came with those kind of drawings.
