Well, not necessarily. I mean, Donald and Daisy are pretty much established as a couple, obviously, so if Donald's their uncle, then there's nothing wrong with calling her "Aunt Daisy." I mean, when a close family friend we call "Uncle Justin" had been living with his boyfriend a certain amount of time, we called him "Aunt Alan." So.... I thought it was just normal to call significant others of Aunts and Uncles "Aunt" or "Uncle," even if they aren't married.

That's an often heard, and very plausible, explanation. Another explanation is that 'Duck' can be a common name in Duckburg, like 'Jones' or 'Smith' is in the US. But the most obvious explanation is that Disney characters' last names simply described their species: Donald and Daisy are ducks, that's why their last name is 'Duck'. Mickey and Minnie are mice, that's why their last name is 'Mouse'. Interestingly, no fan of Disney comics ever wonders about Mickey and Minnie being related because of their last name, but when it comes to the Ducks... some fans get become quiete obsessive.

Thanks for posting this! I have been meaning to get Ducktales, Rescue Rangers, etc., but I just haven't got around to getting them. I went to a local Wal-Mart today and got Volume 2 (Volume 1 was out of stock). $12 is such a great price! Just wondering, have you seen volume 3 at Wal-Mart or any other of the older Disney series there (Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, etc.)?

I've only seen the first two volumes of DT thus far, but Best Buy should have more of the Disney Afternoon sets for $15, and if you're lucky and have a Costco in your area, you can probably find some of them for only $8 or $9.

I'm not as lucky, though. No Costco in the area, but I got volume 1 of Rescue Rangers and volume 3 of DuckTales at Best Buy thanks to the deduction.

I was able to obtain Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers Volume 1, Darkwing Duck Volume 1, and TaleSpin Volume 1 for $8.99 each at Costco...then another Costco had DuckTales Volumes 2 and 3 and Darkwing Duck Volume 2 for the same price. I guess it depends on where you look (and if there's a Costco near you).

Wow, I wish I had a Costco around. I have a membership to Sam's Club and BJ's... I'll have to look for them there

That's an awesome price on a great set of classic television shows. I wish I could find a Costco near me so that I could grab the few I'm missing.

About 2 weeks ago I was at MA when I found out that Ducktales was at $12.00 I freak out I was going to buy it but I didn't have the money. Now that I'm back home I went at my local Walmart but they don't sell Ducktales: Volume 1 or 2 DVDs.

My local Walmart is now selling DuckTales too but no Rescue Rangers

i would definitely buy them i were you. i currently own the first volume of all the sets and look forward to buying the rest asap. i also plan on getting the gummi bears. i really hope they finish of these sets. (same goes for WB with Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Peanuts Decade Collections and others; Universal with Woody Woodpecker). i also wish they'd finish released the animated shorts on the WDT and gave proper respect to The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

edit: just had a thought. who are huey, dewey and louies parents? donald and scrooge are both "unca's" and daisy i think they call daisy aunt.

I don't know what her name is in america,In the weekly Donald Duck commics over here in the neterhlands she was mentioned once, It was said that Dumbella (her dutch name) was Donalds sister. One night, she unexpectacly brought her boys for a sleepover, and never came back to pick de boys up, again. Gee, some mother is that, aight?

Her English name is also Dumbella (in the cartoon; in the newspaper comic it's Della). I've explained it in more detail before in this thread.

Good to see yet another Dutchie, here, though! (We're lousy with Dutchmen here.)

That's not entirely true, I believe. There are more Dutch people on this forum than on many other English ones. Or we're more present here, I don't know

I saw it too. I need to save money.

Judging from most reports, it seems like the Ducktales and CDRR DVDs appear more often. Maybe due to the impact of Boom! Darkwing, Ducktales and (soon) CDRR comics.

Does anyone know if TaleSpin DVDs are available too?
