DuckTales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp!



Versus:​

 

[wonderfly]

Recess: School's Out!



Who do you vote to win?!?​

 

[wonderfly]

It's the battle of "Disney TV shows that got movies in theaters"! Which do you prefer?!?

 

[Shiloh Otter]

I don't remember much about Treasure of the Lost Lamp, other than the fact I remember loving it when I was a lot younger than I am now.

While I liked Recess as a series, I never actually watched School's Out.

Treasure of the Lost Lamp gets my vote by default.

 

[StorytellerMJ5]

Recess for me.

 

[RoyalRubble]

I like both but I'll side with Recess: School's Out.

 

[JoeMabbon]

The outcome of the coin flip is: Recess.

Man, both of those trailers were pretty shoddy.

 

[PinkieLopBun]

I'll go with DuckTales.

 

[Surreal Kangaroo]

Ducktales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp. I watched it a million times as a kid and when I rewatched it again a few years ago and was overloaded with nostalgia. I’m not sure if I ever seen Recess: School’s Out. I may have seen it in passing on Toon Disney, but I really want to say my brother saw it in theaters with his friend and told me all about it.

 

[Darklordavaitor]

DuckTales for me. It's funny, I probably have more personal nostalgia for Recess as a series- while DuckTales is one of my favorite cartoons now, I became particularly attached as an adult, and only watched it occasionally as a child- but I remember watching the movie a LOT as a kid, certainly more than School's Out, which I only rented once when it came out.

I've seen both somewhat recently, and I'd still say Treasures of the Lost Lamp is better.

 

[Light Lucario]

I'll go with DuckTales Treasures of the Lost Lamp. I only vaguely remember watching it, while I don't think I saw much of the original series, but I remember liking it and there is some nostalgic charm to it too.

I like Recess and School's Out was a good movie finale for the series, but I think the series as a whole was more memorable to me than the movie itself was.

 

[wonderfly]

Man, both of those trailers were pretty shoddy.

Or "The greatest thing ever!" if you were a kid in 1990 or 2001.

The voting went back and forth, but in the end....

The Winner:

Ducktales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp!!


Onward, to the next match!​

EXTRA Bonus Match #3:

The Wild



Versus:​

 

[wonderfly]

Mars Needs Moms!




Who do you vote to win?!?​

 

[wonderfly]

Because "Walt Disney Pictures" isn't always something animated by Disney or Pixar.....

 

[Shiloh Otter]

Oh geez, this is a hard one for all the wrong reasons.

Both of these are genuinely terrible, but maybe The Wild less so. So yeah, The Wild.

 

[JoeMabbon]

I haven't seen either of those films, but Mars Needs Moms was mocked a lot on a internet forum I belonged to years and years ago. I will issue my first abstention of the tournament.

Or "The greatest thing ever!" if you were a kid in 1990 or 2001.

I was a kid then (nearabouts anyway) and I saw both, but this is my first time seeing those trailers. And gotta say they did those movies no favors.

 

[Surreal Kangaroo]

I’m going with Mars Needs Moms. I actually kind of like it but I think it would be better if just the martians were motion capture and the rest was live action. The Wild is seriously one of the most uninspired movies I’ve seen in my life.

 

[PinkieLopBun]

I'll go with The Wild.

 

[Light Lucario]

I guess I'll go with The Wild. It wasn't a great movie, but I thought it was okay and had some funny moments.

I've seen Mars Needs Moms and while it also wasn't good, I didn't think it was that bad either. If the character designs for the humans were more appealing or if it wasn't motion captured, I don't think that it would have gotten as much backlash as it did at the time.
