That episode always creeped me out when I was little, too! 
Especially the floaty spirit thingies at the end.  *shiver*  ;)

LOL!  I wholeheartedly agree.  The multi-part origin intro was a
fun romp, but they should have sent home to his own time at the
end and let it be.

It was the first one I saw, too.  It's a good one, although
since it was my first experience with the DuckTales universe, I
was jarred by the Beagles' individuality, Magica's distinctly
non-Italian accent, and Mrs. Beakly's presence.  ;)

You mean you don't think Scrooge can be giddy, head-over-heels
in love?  ;)

(Not that disagree.  As Goldie will be the first to attest, he's
the hard-to-get type.)  ;)

Not to mention their version of "Land Beneath the Ground."  It
was fun, but Barks did it SOOOO much better.  That super-cute
little boy Terry (or Fermy?) was just too much "cute-ification"
for me.
