"I personally asume that the final play...Pan,<br /><br />"I personally asume that the final play ("McDuck") wasn't refrence to "Makbeth" as much a refrence to "Richard III" (you know, the A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!" guy) since both plays are about a greedy king, hated by all who gets his comapance."<br /><br />As I recall, Macbeth didn't start out as a ruler, so you may in fact be correct.<br /><br />"I remember something bizzare in the episode. Scrooge and two boys get thrown in the wather and in the next scene Scrooge talks to Brushbill on the page and thanks him for saveing them... Is it me or was there a deledet scene there?"<br /><br />I think that Scrooge was referring to a previous scene in which Brushbill DID help Scrooge, Huey, and Dewey out of the water... the scene featuring the boat crash. Scrooge really didn't have time to thank Brushbill at that moment because he was concerned with finding Louie. The campfire scene was the first scene in which all the Ducks had a chance to be together for some length of time.<br /><br />Chris<br /><br />Chris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-70872963288760659752013-04-29T22:04:20.463-04:002013-04-29T22:04:20.463-04:00"Top Duck" is next, eh?

Another good one. <br />Some funny stuff, even if Lunchapd main conflict could ben solve quickly if he didn't been so over-dramatic all the time. <br /><br /><br />I always asume that the Bealge Boys pilot cousin was ment to be Bankjob in the first draft but they change it for some strange reason. It's odd for them to introduce new Bealges when they already introduce a lot in previews episodes.<br /><br /><br /><br />It's a shame Lunchpad family wasn't used more. I especially liked his sister. I think this show could use more dynamic recuring female characters.<br /><br /><br />Please adress those things ;)Pan Miluśhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364446151493198587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-66556596449835493872013-04-29T21:56:51.601-04:002013-04-29T21:56:51.601-04:00This is one of my favorite episodes. I like the dy...This is one of my favorite episodes. I like the dynamic, the climax was a bit touching and all of the Shakespeare's refrences. Kid's won't propably get some but it was still well put together. I like that two of most popular Shakespeare's play's ("Hamlet" + "Romeo and Juliet") are only brifly refrence ("To buy or not to buy) so they can refrence plays like "Makbeth", "The Tempest"<br /> ,"A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Julius Cesar". Nice touches.<br /><br /><br />I personally asume that the final play ("McDuck") wasn't refrence to "Makbeth" as much a refrence to "Richard III" (you know, the A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!" guy) since both plays are about a greedy king, hated by all who gets his comapance. <br /><br /><br />Now that you pointed it out I can see this episode working with Gladstone but I like the new character of Brushbill a lot. <br /><br /><br />However I'm with Scrooge on this one (well for the first 3/4 ad least). In real life if they would found a lost Shakespeare's play it would be worth a lot of money no matter if it's good or bad. It's still 500 years old and it's still writen by one of most historically sygnificant writers. I think Historical societies alone would pay a lot of cash for fiding it. And you can't say you cheated people when you sold it. It's still an actually Shakespeare play. If it sucks or not is a matter of opinion.<br /><br /><br />I remember something bizzare in the episode. Scrooge and two boys get thrown in the wather and in the next scene Scrooge talks to Brushbill on the page and thanks him for saveing them... Is it me or was there a deledet scene there?<br /><br /><br />Pan Miluśhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364446151493198587noreply@blogger.com
