This is quite a rare treasure in movies. It was back in the time when they took great care in animation, and movies were done in a way that any age that has appreciation for good comedy, light adventure would enjoy, and a little heart pounding action. Brought out from one of the best TV series ever made. DuckTales the Movie Treasure of the Lost Lamp. Is indeed an instant classic. Watching this movie now as an adult I still thoroughly enjoy it's cheerful antics and well created story. No matter how many times I've watched it, I still never get tired of it. It's hard to believe that it's only hour and a half at the most. The story starts out with Scrooge, his nephews, Webby Gail, and Launchpad all going to Egypt to investigate the diggings where his hired crew is searching lost treasure of Collie Baba. Soon they find the treasure. After all of this it is stolen from them leaving them with only a small oil lamp. Which happen to be more then it seems. Soon Scrooge and company are tossed into whirl of Genies, wishes, and villainous characters all after the lamp. Fun thing about this story is unlike the TV show which is usually filled with the same guest villains such as Beagle Boys, Magica De Spell, Flint Heart Glomgold, and ect. This one has two new ones a evil sorcerer name Murlock, and his greedy pit pocketing partner, Dijon. Both very well done. Murlock even used to scare me a tad bit when I was little not enough to hide under a blanket though. This movie also is something that any child of any age could watch. It has no bad words as some movies for even children now a days see in films. Some parents can be very careful what they let their kids watch. And this movie is very clean, and kid proof. Contrary to popular belief this movie is not a rip off from Aladdin. It wasn't set in the time period of Arabian Nights for one thing. And another thing is it was brought out in 1990 two years before Aladdin came out. So I'd like to say rumors you heard weren't true if you see the relationship in a way you could say the movie Aladdin copied the movie itself but to each there on thought. Also this has been compared to Indiana Jones. True there are some of the same qualities. But the treasure hunt wasn't just to send it to a museum like Indy does. Yes there were booby traps. But ask yourself. Why wouldn't a thief who wanted to keep his money hidden. Set traps for his enemies? Don't always think inside the box. Think outside too. Plus if you’re an adult and you don't want your kids seeing Indiana Jones yet. Good for you I didn't see it till I was older. This is a good thing for young children to see I can assure you it's very safe. Even my parents who were very protective let me see it. But that doesn't mean older people won't appreciate it, because it's tons of fun for all ages. Disney really seemed to make an effort to restore it to the original version from when it first showed in theaters. We should be thankful for even getting to see this movie come out on DVD. That sound is great though and a that has been restored to its brilliance. The voices lip sync perfectly with the character mouths unlike some DVDs that have problems with doing that. The music is great too. Though there are those things to go through. This movie is still worth owning by anyone. I wouldn't recommend buying a used VHS though because those are worn out and have none of the brilliant picture you get on the DVD itself.Read full review

If you're a Disney movie lover, don't let this cult classic slip away from your collection. Aladdin meets Indiana Jones, this film pleases the whole fam! Scrooge McDuck, fueled by greed as usual, leads his nephews Hewey, Louie, and Dewey, along with Launchpad McQuack and Webby, on an expedition for lost treasure. Merlock, the evil magician villian, has different plans for the treasure. He wants the lamp, the genie inside it, and endless power that comes along with dangerous wishes. Fun for everyone, a non stop hilarious animated adventure from start to finish!
As I am sure you are aware (or maybe not), the only place to get a genuine copy of this movie on DVD is the Disney Movie Club, which is a shame. This is a great movie and great fun for Ducktales fans. There is a great adventure and the genie in the movie is adorable. Loosly following Aladdin makes the story very easy to follow. There is nothing extremely scary and nothing inappropriate for small children. It's a hit in our house!!!
Received my order a lil early that’s always good Plus it was a great price the most affordable. Thanks
