Golden Suns included on DuckTales Volume Two!!!


Yes we wanted it now we're gonna get it as part of the DuckTales Volume Two 3 Disc DVD box set coming November 14th. Along with the pilot "treasure of the Golden Suns" it will contain 19 other episodes continuing off from where it left off on Volume One. That should be episodes 28-46. Excited??? I know I am especially after the lackluster Volume One that didn't have the pilot, average sound, and video!!! I mean wholl releases DVDs in Digital MONO Surround other than Disney??? At least now we can watch the pilot on Volume Two and go abck and watch Volume One and the DVD series is much mroe complete!!!

Also included in Volume Two is one of the best miniseries of the series: "The Firefly Fruit Contest". this was a classic four-parter in which Scrooge takes on Flintheart Glomgold in a contest to determine who is the richest duck in the world to claim the rare Firefly Fruit. The adventures go from land, sea, the ocean depths, and the sky until only one duck's fortune outweighs the other!!!

Nix -- this is very good news, but I have a question. Like everyone else, the pilot was one of my favourite episodes ever. My question to you:

1) Is it edited?! When TotGS originally aired, it was longer. Once re-aired on the regular time-slots, it had been edited down rather extensively if I remember correctly, I think they said something about it not being completely suitable for children or some rubbish like that. (You should see brit tv, not suitable for children my.... ugh, I digress.)

Can you clarify this?! If it's edited, I shall know it -- I remember the miniseries ver clearly, and will be most furious with bloody Disney if it's cut down after all this trouble we've gone through to get it on there.

Cheers for any help you can give on this subject, no-one seems to know on the reviews which version I shall be getting?!

PS-- They've got the Firefly fruit contest?! Wicked!!! I loved that!!!

I have some news for you. The Treasure of the golden suns does not have any scenes cut out of it on the DVDs. I have gotten it and I have noticed by playing my old VHS tape of when it first aried in America back in 1987 and then when I played it on the DVD i noticed that since they have it split apart into five pieces there are some scenes you will see on the episodes that are not shown when it was in movie format years ago. I have to say that one thing i can say is out of all the multi part epsiodes that had more than two parts this one is the best one out of them all.
