Well, it depends on your tastes of course.
I bought it, and I liked it. The art mainly, great Alessandro Barbucci's
art, and IMHO, as I said, he gives his best when not dealing with ducks.
I've never seen Japanese disney stories, but I might understand that
feeling you might have had... this acn't happen here because they're not
"japanizing" existing characters, the'yre just making up new ones. (And
Francesco Artibani's script is quite good, considering it's aimed for
little girls, which I'm not :-)
