It's A Wonderful Leaf

Darkwing Duck and Christmas. Can it get any better to us hardcore Darkwing fans?

Just to get it out of the way, I'm a huge Darkwing fan and am really glad Disney actually put out two sets of episodes for the show. However, until I get around to reviewing the rest of the series let's take a look at "It's A Wonderful Leaf"

It's Christmas time in Saint Canard and the mall shoppers in a frenzy. Across the way we find Drake Mallard as he dutifully protects the presents under the tree from his enthusiastic daughter, Gosalyn in her attempts to open them early. However, not all is well in the city as the villainous Bushroot has decided to be a Grinch and ruin things for everyone. Starting out small, he decides to spread some negative vibes and runs amok in the mall as he gets the shoppers mad at each other.

Drake soon arrives and decides that this is a job for....Santa Claus! Wait, wrong outfit. Darkwing Duck! Going on the prowl, Darkwing and Launchpad set out to stop Bushroots scheme "Operation Bahumbug" as he brings to life Douglas fir trees to steal the presents from peoples homes. However, our hero is on the case and quickly puts an end to things.

Darkwing's Christmas episode is a lot of fun, especially as a fan of the show and can help me move past the gags that are quite common in the episodes. Fairly good as far as animation goes, it's an enjoyable inclusion in any viewing logs of holiday shows.
