>Have Carl ever talked about his opinion about the DuckTales series and
>movie?

Ankkalinnan Pamaus, fanzine of mine, printed article about Disney-animations 
written by Sauli Pesonen. There is a quote from private letter from Barks to 
writer of the article. It goes (quoted directly from original source):

"The adaptations of some of my comic book stories into DuckTales animated 
cartoons could have been done better if the studio had
not felt they needed to pad my plots with non-stop pratfalls, plane crashes, 
fist fights, floods, cataclysms, and nail-biting
suspense. After 15 minutes of such high-speed violence, viewers forget what 
the stories are about, and even lose track of where the
characters are."
Dated September 8th 1992.
