DuckTales Gets Literal

Not many people in my generation know of the Disney blog, "Oh My Disney."  It is definitely catered to those Disney moms that love sharing on Facebook how magical their passion for Disney is.  However, Disney is finally focusing on the generation that can change social media - the Nineties kids.

That's right, OMD is doing a 90's week, which I think is a brilliant idea.  The generation of now teenagers to young adults from the 1990s is the best target to get some viral buzz.  While moms are a good target to share on Facebook, the Nineties kids are so good at sharing on multiple social media platforms all at once and can easily make one video grow like wildfire.  This affluent group is the right target to get a blog talked about very fast.

Just yesterday, Oh My Disney kicked off its 90s tribute with a recreation of the classic DuckTales theme song - this time, using real ducks as the actors.  The bloggers actually did a great job recreating the vast adventures the ducklings and their Uncle Scrooge McDuck go on, from submarine excursions to being chased by a mummy.  I think getting the duck into the airplane was definitely the highlight for me.

In less than 24 hours, the video has already achieved over 280,000 views, which is definitely above the average amount of views Oh My Disney gets from a video from their YouTube channel.  Personally, I think this is a hilarious video, and have already shared it on my Facebook and now here on this blog.  I remember watching this show after I got home from school, and though it's been some time since I've watched an episode, it's a fun reminder of the 90s classics Disney Channel had.  Hey, I might even try to find some old episodes on Netflix!  Well done, OMD, on grabbing us Nineties kids' attention, and hopefully you will get the recognition you deserve.
