DuckTales (1987)

Disney's initial experiment with first-run syndication features classic Disney characters in new situations. Concentrates on the adventures of Donald Duck's Uncle Scrooge McDuck who is left to care for nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie when Donald is drafted by the Navy and sent to sea. The three rambunctious boys would be much more difficult to handle if it weren't for his unshakable values of compassion, loyalty and good sense. An entrepreneur who has conquered commerce on every front, Scrooge, accompanied by his three precocious nephews, travels across the globe in search of exciting adventures and outrageous new friends.
