Notes about the Film and Quotes
This movie was animated by Walt Disney Animation of France.
In one scene we get a full shot of Duckburg. From the picture St. Canard, the hometown of Darkwing Duck can be seen. That must be why Lunchpad is alson in Darkwing Duck.
At the begining of the movie it says made by Disney Movietoons. Does any one know what Movietoons is?
A "Zummi Gummi" doll (From the Gummi Bears) is seen during the toys coming to life segment. It is illegal for a cartoon to advertise thier own toys and products in the United States. It seems the Disney crew forgot about this rule.
After Scrouge McDuck sees that Dijon's symbol is on the moneybin he is arrested and drives away. Durring the shoot when he drives away, we see his sybol on a bank in the distance.
Quotes
Scrooge: Launchpad! Look what you did to these ancient ruins!
Launchpad: Could have been worse. It could have been something new.
Scrooge: Nothing but old robes! 40 years of searching, and all I end up with is Collie Baba's dirty laundry!
Huey: I don't see anything, Uncle Scrooge.
Dewey: Not even a mirage.
Launchpad: Maybe we made a wrong turn at that last sand dune.
Huey: Do you think we'll see a mummy?
Dijon: That reminds me, my mummy's expecting me. It's time for my nap.
Dijon: Is there a doctor in the pyramid?
Louie: Where are you going to keep all this treasure, Uncle Scrooge?
Scrooge: I won't keep it all, Louie. Most of these artifacts will go to museums.
Louie: That doesn't sound like Uncle Scrooge.
Scrooge: That way, I could enjoy a healthy tax break!
Huey: THAT does!
Launchpad: Forward Ho! [crashes] Reverse Ho!
Scrooge: If you don't stop crashing, I'll give you the Heave Ho!
Dewey: What a ride!
Louie: Yeah! I wouldn't mind doing it again now that I know that you can live through it!
Merlock: [referring to the giant scorpions] Their sting will seem like a tickle compared to mine!
Scrooge: I'm going home.
Mrs. Featherby: But what about your lunch?
Scrooge: Sell it!
Genie: Finally room to stretch! My foot's been asleep for six centuries.
Huey: What about our wishes?
Genie: Wishes? Do I look like a birthday cake?
Huey: I guess one of us should wish for peace and happiness all over the world.
Genie: Hey, these are wishes, not miracles!
Genie: Put me in a dog house! A mad house! Even a house of pancakes! Anywhere but the lamp!
Louie: What should we wish for next?
Huey: How about a giant tug boat?
Genie: Oh sure. You want that with or without an ocean.
Huey: A little much, huh?
Genie: Well, just a tad.
Webby: Genie, you're going to love playing Tea Party.
Genie: I know. I read all about it. Can I be the guy who dresses like an Indian and throws the tea off the boat?
Webby: No! No, no, no, silly! Not a Boston Tea Party!
Genie: You call these "party animals"? They're lifeless!
Scrooge: I could wish for the world's biggest diamond! No, the entire diamond mine! No, no, ALL the diamond mines! No, the entire mining industry!...I can see why this can take some careful thought.
Scrooge: [putting the genie in a little plant] You can watch the ball from here. Otherwise, you go back in the lamp!
Genie: But what if I win the door prize?
Genie: What's more important? Your fortune or your life?
Scrooge: Well...
Genie: Hey, this isn't exactly a trick question!
Dijon: Everything smells delicious when you're rich! [smells his cape] Even me!
Launchpad: I've got the bin at 12:00 high, Mr. McD...give or take 10 minutes.
Dijon: Whoever said, "Money cannot buy peace of mind," must have had the brains of a garbanzo bean.
Genie: [after being transformed into a real boy] How can I ever thank you, Master?
Scrooge: I'm not your master anymore.
Genie: That's it. Can I call you, "Uncle Scrooge"?
Scrooge: You're a sweet kid, but don't press your luck.
