Featured review
Far from robotic
When younger watching animation, great animation, music, characters and voice acting were my main reasons for loving animation so much, as well as how it helped me feel better during bad times. Whereas as an adult, where my love for animation was even stronger, more components were noticeable, with more knowledge was garnered of behind the scenes and of the different studios, animation styles and those involved.
Grew up with 'Ducktales' and always did consider it a personal favourite. Actually like it even more and that is very high praise when some past favourites are far from it now. By today's standards, it is funnier, even more entertaining finding even more to like and from getting much more the references, humour and dialogue, not admittedly always the case when younger. That has been the case with many animated shows re-visited recently, with prime examples being 'Animaniacs', 'Pinky and the Brain' and 'Tiny Toon Adventures'.
"Robot Robbers" is up there with my favourite 'Ducktales' episodes. So much worked so brilliantly, that that the ending felt slightly rushed was overlookable.
As to be expected, the animation is vibrant, fluid, clean and the attention to detail in the backgrounds is also note-worthy. Some clever animation on the robots, didn't find them stiff or limited. The music has always been one of my favourite assets of 'Ducktales' and it shines certainly in "Robot Robbers", the score is dynamic, beautifully orchestrated, never jarring with the action and full of energy. Disney had many theme songs that were difficult to resist and were very catchy to the extent one doesn't forget them, and that for 'Ducktales' to me was one of the best.
The writing is witty and clever, with affectionate and well-tied in references to past episodes (such as "Armstrong"), some of the show's funniest writing in the rivalry banter between Scrooge and Glomgold, both characters on top form (don't expect anything less from Scrooge while Glomgold has always been one of my favourite recurring characters), and with even a subtle moral for good measure.
Story is always compelling, driven by the Scrooge and Glomgold chemistry/rivalry and also by the hilarious Beagle Boys. Their and Ma Beagle's methods of using the robots providing many strong character and comedic moments that are some of the cleverest and funniest for the characters. The voice acting is spot on, with Alan Young, June Foray and Hal Smith coming out on top.
In conclusion, classic 'Ducktales' episode. 10/10 Bethany Cox
