DuckTales is an animated cartoon series that was produced by Disney. It ran from September 18, 1987 to November 28, 1990. Reruns of certain episodes were censored in order to comply with network standards. When the show was released on Disney+, two episodes were omitted (see below). Disney+ uses the censored Toon Disney broadcasts rather then the uncensored version of the show.
