I liked the Bugs Bunny one, with Yosemite Sam as Scrooge. And who can forget Scrooge McDuck!

"Scrooge McDuck" remains one of my favorite cartoon characters, to this day!

Though, I never quite figured out who the parents of Huey, Dewey and Louie were.

Were they orphans?

They wre the illegitimate children of Scrooge McDuck as a result of his one-time fling with Daisy.

Scrooge paid off her and Donald to raise them....

(But don't tell anyone you heard that from me! )

Amen, I just saw Polar Express with my kids and thought it was terrific. It'll go on my list of classics, Rudolph, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, and The Tale of the Three Trees.

Wasn't it Daisy and Donald? Or were they Donald's nephews? Did D. have a brotehr or sister? I can't remember.

I'm going to rely upon the experts here, but I believe that Scrooge McDuck was Donald's Scottish cousin, who was responsible for raising Huey, Dewey and Louie after Donald was shipped out overseas.

>> I just saw Polar Express with my kids and thought it was terrific<<

Polar Express creeped the heck out of me.
It looked like a happy, "Christmas Night of the Living Dead"
to both myself and my hubby.
My kids loved it though.

This is what I find on the triplets.....

http://duckman.pettho.com/characters/hdl.html

They are the children of Donald's sister Della and an unknown father.

Thanks for the informative link!

I appreciate it.

Who knew that Walt Disney was so ahead of his time?

THAT is a cool link!

I've also been wondering about "Polar Express".

Caitlin isn't really enthused about it, so after reading your comments, i will wait for it to come out on vidio to see it.
