13 Things You Didn't Know About Walt Disney's Ducktales Movie: What the McDuck?! They made a movie about those adventurous mallards? It's a surprise to us as well. Regardless, these thirteen things about Ducktales The Movie will have you screaming whoo hoo all the way to the bank. 13. First Disney animated movie to be spun off from a television series. 12. There were originally plans to have a Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers movie released the summer following this movie's release, along with a Goof Troop movie. However, Disney decided to pull the plug on that project, and retool the Goof Troop movie into A Goofy Movie, since this movie underperformed at the box-office. 11. Someone dressed like Indiana Jones is briefly seen at the Explorer's Club. 10. Released on the big screen with the classic Donald Duck cartoon "Dude Duck". 9. Side characters from DuckTales, like Gyro, Doofus, Bubba the Cave Duck, and Gismoduck are absent, as the filmmakers didn't want to confuse newcomers who h by HipPODrome Cast

13 Things You Didn't Know About Walt Disney's The Rescuers Down Under: They were so big that it took more than one continent to contain them. These thirteen things that you probably didn't know about The Rescuers Down Under, should satisfy your cravings for squeaky sleuths until the inevitable live action version comes out. 13. This was Eva Gabor's last film before her death in 1995. A third Rescuers movie was planned for 1996, but after her death, this and all future Rescuers movies were scrapped. 12. In the original Rescuers film, the albatross Orville was voiced by Jim Jordan, who died two years before this film released. The producers didn't want to replace Jordan, so Orville was replaced with the character's brother Wilbur, voiced by John Candy. This is a reference to the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, the inventors and pilots of the first functional airplane. 11. Disney's first animated sequel. This would later carry on with Fantasia 2000 and Winnie the Pooh, whils by HipPODrome Cast
