This new retrospective / review is written, edited and voiced by Tim Partridge. Tim has appeared on my RUclips channel a number of times over the years taking part in audio commentaries and he directed my Superman IV documentary 'The Man of Steel and Glass'. Tim really wanted to produce a video to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Darkwing Duck and has put a lot of time and effort into this video. I hope you all enjoy it!
Sounds good Oliver 👍
I remember Duckwing Duck. Let's get dangerous!
Nice gesture to Tim
Oliver. I made a video for you last year in 2020 and you still haven't seen it.
I can't tell your voices apart lol.
The voices on the show were just SO, SO good!
Agreed completely. Lots of talent behind the voices on this cartoon. Jim Cummings is one of three voice actors, along with Tom Kenny and Billy West who I consider the Mel Blanc of our time.
Which the DuckTales reboot totally, utterly squandered.
Whether it was Darkwing, Gosalyn, Steelbeak, etc. The reboot not only failed to capture the same vocal power, but it did something even worse...
It made these characters *BORING.* Pale, boring imitations of the superior original iterations.
While I do strongly agree that the voices for Gosalyn and Steelbeak are pretty weak in comparison to back then, I do think the new Darkwing duck’s voice is just as great. Gosalyn was supposed to look and sound like a young 10 year old, however, she comes off more as a 16 year old while Steel beak is…sorta average??? They completely changed his character unfortunately. But I do think the new Darkwing is pretty solid because he’s supposed to be a young passionate actor who looks up Darkwing and he comes off as genuinely excited and passionate about taking on the role as the new Darkwing duck. This is just my opinion though, I could be completely off for all I know-
@@OtterloopB HUGE disagree. I really didn't think the characters were boring
Not just in English either. The Dutch voices were also top tier.
What a welcome addition for a retrospective
Yes it’s amazing 🤩 this brought back so many memories for me as a 80s baby (‘85)
@@LiLTailormade ...us '85 kids are the last of the Gen X-ers... we will we will rock you!!!
@@theadmiral4625 talk about it brother!
Darkwing Duck was my favorite cartoon show as a kid. It only ran on Swedish television briefly before getting banned for it's cartoon violence, but I still kept old taped episodes on VHS that I would rewatch obsessively, in particular the episodes Stressed To Kill, Water Way To Go, In Like Blunt, Duck Blind, Night of the Living Spud and Time And Punishment. It was astounding how much the show kept getting funnier the older I got and came back to revisit it. It's influenced my own creative work immensely and I'm still amazed to this day by how many genres and tones the series managed to jump across. "Relentless and manic energy" with loads of heart sums it up perfectly.
Banned? Sad.
@@ReverendMeat51 Yes, banned. In the mid 90's a little girl in Norway got killed by a group of boys apparently playing Power Rangers. After that, most major swedish television channels decided to stop airing any childrens shows that were considered violent. This ban eventually went away, but some of the specific shows that had been purged either didn't appear on TV ever again, or not untill more than a decade later. Darkwing was one of those shows that was off the air for years untill reruns started on Disney Channel sometime in the 00's. I've personally always suspected this temporary ban on violent kids shows was the reason Sweden never got Dragon Ball Z even though that show was making fortunes in other markets at the time. Instead, the show that defined a generation of anime fans in Sweden was Sailor Moon.
@@rattis On the positive side I feel like the ban really solidified Darkwing Duck into a particularly legendary status among Swedish fans. It was one of those things you would bring up among friends at school and everyone's eyes light up even though there was no way of watching it anymore. You sort of had to have been there when it was on the air to know what it was all about. Plus, the dubbing was outstanding. I stumble across the Swedish dub of the show once in a while and it still makes me laugh hysterically. The team of translators and voice actors were clearly appreciating the humor and were having a blast.
Nu blir vi farliga.
Banned? Wow out in Western Europe. A lot of entertainment from America was banned in Yugoslavia.
This video spoke to the heart. I grew up with Darkwing and remember coming home from elementary school to watch it. Thanks for all the research done to make this.
Oh, how much I did love this show! Just looking at the cartoons shown in the first 10 minutes, I´d say today 95% of all shows can´t hold a candle to the 80s and 90s.
This theme song is still popping into my head and I haven’t seen the show in 25 years.
Did you Get Dangerous?
The bittersweet era of Disney cartoons, where no matter how good the show was you knew it would end at 65 episodes.🥲
Yeah, why was that?
@@GrimyGrafhic 65 is the minimum number of episodes that the higher ups determined was necessary to run a show in syndication. So in the constantly short-term profit focused minds of the execs at the time that was how many episodes pretty much any show was allowed before they got axed.
As opposed to today, where Disney ends hit shows after 3 seasons (including the DuckTales reboot, which got less episodes than the original)
Oddly enough Goof Troop was able to get more, by some consequence
@@ItsAVolcano wow. I was today years old when I learned this.
Thanks for this info.
Launchpad really greased the wheels for this show for me, as I was a Duck Tales addict, and I had never seen a shared universe like this before.
Long, LONG before we'd see anything like it again.
Wasn’t expecting to tear up watching a documentary about Darkwing Duck today but here we are.
I remember the show very fondly. Like most superior shows, I was more interested in the villains than the hero. The episodes involving Darkwing Duck going into the Nega- verse and the time gosalyn travel into the future to meet Warrior Duck were some of my favorite episodes.
That was an homage to The Dark Knight Returns
Stealbeak was my favorite villan.
Made my heart beat faster as a kid when he went to the negaverse. Always the best episodes for sure.
This Tim Partridge is a very good fit for the channel. He even sounds a bit like Oliver Harper.
Great fit.
Disney was cranking out some real bangers back in the 90s.
It's really cool seeing a video about an animated tv series that had such an impact on someone personally. Tim did a really great job on this you could feel how much of a passion project this was. I think we can all relate to something we enjoyed as a kid that we still have fond memories of. What's even better is when we rewatch them and it still holds up rather well. Truth be told that's not always the case as I've really loved and enjoyed shows as a kid that I've rewatched again as an adult that really haven't aged well or were very cheesy lol. Thankfully my main favorite shows as a kid have held up for me: X-men the animated series, Batman the animated series, and Gargoyles. There are other shows that I loved that had great concepts and potential like The Pirates of Dark Water that upon watching as adult seemed they may have had some good material chopped and left on the cutting room floor due to time constraints but still had some great moments and loved the world it created.
You hit me with that nostalgia hammer when you said Pirates if Dark Water. Ouch. 🤣
NICE SURPRISE!
Those Boom Studios comics are REALLY good, and finally connect DuckTales and Darkwing Duck, though sadly the series soon ended after DuckTales comics came along. There was also a very well done Rescue Rangers comic. Highly recommend tracking them down.
Yes!! It's too bad the crossover between the two was later declared non-canon and therefore Morgana was never truly rescued in the series that followed.
Tad Stones is the reason Disney Television Animation as one of the biggest name for animation for televisions.
I loved Darkwing when growing up. My condolences on your loss. Thank you for this great retrospective!
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if we saw more stuff from Tim. He seems like a really cool dude.
This must have taken ages to put together! Excellent work Tim, very thorough!
What a STUNNING video this is ... produced with skill, heart and a lot of fondness ..... Brilliant!
I loved this show growing up (I was 11) and I still love it (I am 40 now) I'm glad people did there research but every one as adults seem to forget how it made them feel watching it. I always felt empowered and felt like I could take on the world. For once I'd like to see it enjoyed for how it was and not the comparisons to other franchises.
Same here except I'm 42. I loved this show so much in the 90's.
It was my favorite cartoon in the Disney Afternoon lineup.
Does Tanya know you have a RUclips channel, Duke?
This was amazing. So in depth, I grew up loving this show and this retrospective is the best Christmas present i could get this year.
Thank you Oliver and Tim.
If you don't mind me asking, would you guys consider doing one of these for "Babylon 5"? Especially considering it's thankfully coming back :)
But thank you and have a wonderful holiday guys.
My favorite Disney afternoon cartoon (along with Gargoyles). I used to run home after school as fast as possible to make sure I heard the opening theme song. So much nostalgia wrapped up in these cartoons.
Disney plus has been a gold mine for me as I can watch, and share with my nephew, the Disney Afternoon shows I watched as a kid. Gummi Bears, DuckTales, Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, DW, Goof Troop, Bonkers, Gargoyles, Timon and Pummba, even the one Saturday Morning shows like Recess. They were fun. My nephew also enjoys the new DuckTales, which is cool. We used to sit around watching Phineas and Ferb together. Darkwing has caught his interest
I love this 90s cartoon! I am apart of the modern disney audience from the early 2000s to today,so the only way for me to watch DarkwingDuck was to watch it on Disney+. I wish there was more shows like this one. I watch DarkwingDuck over and over because my mom watched it as a kid.
And i was curious so i watched it to,i never seen anything like it. I wish it had a movie.
Too bad DarkwingDuck reruns didn't exsist on tv anymore in the 2010s when DisneyXD was popular. GravityFalls has always been the main show for me to watch in the 2010s.
Also i LOVE the theme song!
Excellent Retrospective, Tim. You perfectly encapsulated one my favorite parts of my childhood. You even mentioned the Darkwing Rap! 🎤 🦆 🎶🎵 🎶🎵
Absolutely loved this show! The Disney afternoon was amazing. I would run home everyday from school to watch this.
Darkwing Duck is what you get when you combine Donald Duck with Batman.
DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, and Batman: The Animated Series (a non-Disney cartoon for adults, not just kids) were my favorite shows.
Donald duck is also super duck, Taikaviitta
This was an great retrospective! Detailed and entertaining.
Tim lacks emotions in his voice, something we've grown to love from Oliver
But as retrospective this was a really good indepth video, thumbs up for sure
That theme song...man, it's incredibly catchy.
Excellent in-depth look at the wonderful Darkwing Duck series, with a personal touch at the very end. Very cool! Great video!.
This is beautifully written ‼️
Such a great time for kids shows. I have great memories of this show and duck tales
As someone who has never seen the series but always thought it looked cool, I am very excited to watch this!
"I am the terror the flaps in the night. I am the bubblegum that sticks to your hair. I am... Darkwing Duck!", I loved this cartoon as a kid. "Suck gas evildoer!", is a catchphrase I still remember. So much fun.
YES! I've been looking for just this kind of video on the topic of DW but never really found one (or at least not one that's longer than 10 minutes). Thank you for making this.
and thanks, algorithm, I guess...
I always loved Darkly Dawns the Duck Parts 1 and 2 and the Steerminator. Your list of favorite episodes also hit my all-time favorites list. Great review! Thanks, Oliver!
I think my favourite little fact about this show is that Jim Cunnings would often ad-lib the middle part of Darkwing's intro speech, to the point where one script had a few options plus a line that said "Or whatever Jim comes up with".
So great to see a new retrospective after your hiatus!
What an excellent review/retrospective of my favourite show growing up. It's fun to see that the show still holds up after so many years. I also was really happy with the Darkwing Duck centred episodes in DuckTales 2017. I really, really hope that the reboot turns out great.
Also, here's some interesting trivia from a Swedish viewer of the show. The 3rd season was never dubbed into Swedish because there were a bunch of controversies surrounding it and similar shows at the time. The Looney Tunes-esque violence some parents thought was related to some high profile cases of children killing other children, so it was decided that the final season was not going to get a proper dub. As someone who was a masssive fan and only learned of this in my late teens in the 2000s, I was pretty darn bummed by knowing this. At least I got to rewatch the show on VHS so many times thanks to my mom recording it. :)
There was a time in my life where I decided this was my favorite show, for about 2 years, and I swear to you I remember barely anything about it.
Darkwing Duck is one of my favorite cartoons and hero.
As someone who was a fan of Darkwing Duck in the Disney Afternoon era in its prime (my mom made me a cape!) AND as a current resident of Edmonton, the note at the end gave me an unexpected jumpscare ❤
A legend among ducks. One of my favorites growing up.
Now, one of my child's favorites. 🥰
Awesome video. Thank you for taking then time to make this wonderful retrospective!
I didn't know I needed this. Thank you so much, Tim and Oli!
This is one of the best, most thought-out RUclips videos I’ve ever seen. Great job!
My favorite from the Disney Afternoon block. (What a time to be alive, btw) Great retrospective. My takeaway from this is how a show can be creative while still cribbing from established ideas. It's a tightrope not everyone can walk, and frankly its a lesson I wish more modern stuff would learn.
Thank you, Tim, for making this and thanks for posting, it speaks right to my heart. It's nice to see someone putting a lot of effort covering old Disney shows. It's most likely banned these days for cartoon violence or something...
Brilliant retrospective. Would definitely enjoy more from Tim.
starts to sing the theme song,Bring you the Disney after noon!
1981 Jan 28 ,so i was a kid back when.
Fantastic review and an even more fantastic show. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this shows legacy never dies.
Hey from Edmonton Alberta. I was watching Darkwing in 92 and yeah now that you mention it Edmonton is on a river and has a lot of bridges.
"Darkwing Duck" was one of my most favorite cartoons growing up, and my most favorite from the Disney Afternoon. You did an amazing job analyzing its production history and influence on others. Seeing the early concept art was especially interesting, considering the different designs for Darkwing/Double-O-Duck and Gosalyn, as well as Launchpad maintaining his original "Ducktales" look.
Such a GREAT video man. Thanks.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Back when Disney was great. Darkwing Duck was one of my favourite, if not my favourite kids show during the 90s.
Yes. DuckTales taught morals. I think that's why my mom approved of us watching it.
First I was like, "Why does Oliver sound so different?". Then I read the rest of it. I loved Darkwing Duck as a kid, so I was happy to see this.
Same
We'll never get great shows like this again
Having recently revisited Darkwing duck with my wife and daughter at the breakfast table (we tend to watch cartoons from our childhood with her during vacation time and holidays) I thoroughly enjoyed this retrospective. Can’t wait to browse through your other content.
Fantastic video man. I even watched til the end..so it must be! 👍 Oh and you brought back my childhood mornings with that shot of Widget.. Christ I'm old! Also awesome gift and people in your life to get it for you.
Both Ducktales and Darkwing had great theme songs
Tailspin slaps
It's always fascinating to see how media experiences people grew up with then reflect on their own work.
Jim Cummings is such a legend.
500 credited voices. That man is one of the best actors.
This was my jam when I was 10. Never thought you'd do a video on it. I'm pleasantly surprised.
Very good retrospective. But you neglected to mentioned that Darkwing and co. also made guest appearances in the Disney cartoons Raw Toonage and Bonkers. Granted the former is rather obscure (and probably didn't air much outside the USA), and Darkwing's appearances in the latter were mostly brief cameoes.
Hopefully, we can see more retrospective/reviews for tv shows following this
I remember Duckwing Duck. You should do more retrospectives on TV shows. Keep up the good work, Oliver. You are awesome and talented. One of my favorite RUclipsrs.
Great job Tim. You really brought me back to my childhood
I greatly enjoyed this. Thank you!
This review unlocked some memories for me. Thank you.
anytime something comes up in connection with the 90's, my heart just starts beating faster....
A friend of mine got me a Dark Wing Duck board game for my birthday.
Some great insights into one of the shows that defined my childhood- awesome video 😁
Nicely done !!!! Simply the best
Watched this every morning before school 👍
Long time since I thought of Darkwing Duck, thank you for this happy trip down memory lane!
Best line from Darkwing Duck was after he awoke on the alien ship just as a brain with eyeballs in a jar:
"C-Calm down, Darkwing. Don't panic. You've been in much worser situations than this.
...NO YOU HAVEN'T!! AAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Great upload, thank you
THAT'S where I know the voice. He was on the St. Canard Files episode for Dry Hard! I think.
Best retrospective I've seen about the character. Congrats.
Very impressed. Well done Tim :)
More Boomer influence: Herb's shed was probably a reference to Fibber McGee's closet. Great research and narration as always.
Outstanding video by the way
Loved the thorough video!
Damn, the Twinbeaks episode... I still vividly remember the nightmares from that one.
Man I love this show when I was a baby.
You made me fall asleep and almost catch my house on fire about a quarter of the way in with that posh accent that shits relaxing
Darkwing Duck was my favorite cartoon as a kid. I recently introduced my kids to the show and they love it and theme song. Great Retrospective.
Oh ho ho, this made me cry... Thank you.
Whoa, do more TV reviews
I met Jim Cummings at a con, nice guy autographed my Castle in the Sky dvd
Oh. What a lovely time I just had. The whole time I felt exactly like the new speaker guy. I grew up watching Darkwing Duck. I remember how upset I was when my Nintendo game copy stopped working and I couldn't play my favorite game anymore. Months of distress.
Boy... it's been 30 years almost. I feel really old now.
Bruh, that Basil of Baker Street easter egg might also be a super clever nod to the fact that Sherlock Holmes was also one of the inspirations for Batman, one of the characters that Darkwing Duck is based on.
Very detailed retrospective love it
Good work Tim!!
Such a great show.
I can't belive you forgot about Darkwing Ducks Enemy No.1 - Dr. Slug!
This was a nice video, guys. I loved Darkwing Duck growing up and it's fun revisiting the Disney Afternoon shows on Disney plus now. I'm thinking of one day doing my own video series of the Disney Afternoon show by show. I'd like to use this video as a reference for some of my research. I'll give credit and a link, of course. Anyway, great job! Let's get dangerous.
My favorite cartoon ever. I still remember all the hype the day it premiered on TV . Wonderful retrospective.
Gosalyn’s voice actor also did babe! I knew it sounded familiar(besides darkwing of course)
