I had all four of those compilation movies on video and watched them pretty frequently as a kid. Quackbusters was my favorite.

Merchandising did really well, and the movie was a big hit with young girls (the actual target audience). Halloween and Christmas are just around the bend, and that could theoretically tip the scales. I'm not holding my breath, but it's certainly possible.

I'm sorry?

I love when people assume remakes are a new thing.

Me too! Got a Holtzmann action figure.

As far as being the "token black" member of the team, she's way more involved with the movie's story than Winston was in the original, too. She joins the team early enough to be with them on their first actual Ghost Bust.

I've always been in favor of a Back to the Future remake, with a female Marty. A teenage girl going back to the 1980s could be really interesting. And Back to the Future is my favorite movie.

Never forget.

Anyone remember the Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special? When Pee-wee wouldn't let Annette and Frankie Avalon go outside because they still had to make, like, 200 homemade Christmas cards?

I love the way West puts the emphasis on "woman" in "Catwoman."

In an earlier strip, he does kick it. The gag is that Lucy held the ball too tight, so Charlie Brown trips over it. Still, foot made contact with football. I'm counting it.

Marge, you know who I'm talking about. He used to drive that blue car?

That's Donna Duck (God, I know that), a different character. Daisy makes her first official appearance in Mr. Duck Steps Out, but both cartoons use the "girl Donald" voice.

Donald's sister Della dumped them on him after they practically killed their dad by lighting fireworks under his chair. It's in her letter in their first appearance.

The best episode of Quack Pack is when Donald uses the anti-aging serum and becomes himself from 1934.

It also shows that after all these years, Disney is loosening the reigns on how their classic characters are depicted. They're not great characters if they can't stand up to a little reinvention.

Daisy's voice was just a higher-pitched version of Donald's in her earlier appearances, even being voiced by Clarence Nash. It was a couple years before they caved and just gave her a normal voice.

Spielberg admitted it, though.

Donald was relegated to guest star status because they wanted Scrooge to be the focus. Donald was such a famous character Disney thought his presence would distract from who the main character actually was. That's why Launchpad was created. He was basically a surrogate Donald for their adventures.

So Donald's going to be a playing a bigger part this time around. Makes sense. Maybe we'll get some more direct adaptations of old Barks stories. Hearing anyone other than Alan Young as Scrooge is going to take some getting used to, though.
