"DuckTales" becomes only the second Disney cartoon series to receive DVD release in comprehensive multi-disc format. (The first was "Gargoyles", released in December of last year with little promotion and no use of the "Disney" name.) The box promises "Episodes 1-27" and that is very nearly true. The episodes are arranged by original airdate, as per Bill Cotter's useful but out-of-print resource The Wonderful World of Disney Television. However, the 5-part pilot episode "Treasure of the Golden Suns" is nowhere to be found. It was later shown as five separate episodes (titled "Don't Give Up the Ship", "Wronguay in Ronguay", "Three Ducks of the Condor", "Cold Duck", and "Too Much of a Gold Thing"), but as it established the premise of the series and aired first, its absence makes very little sense. One can only hope it is present on a future set and I can't imagine it wouldn't be, but then again I can't imagine why it is not included here.
