1 | Scrooge, beginning to feel old, goes to look for the Fountain of Youth. |
2 | ---- |
3 | !!This episode contains examples of the following tropes: |
4 | * AnAesop: You're only as old as you feel. |
5 | * ContinuityNod: The "Fountain of Youth" actually just reflects the person as they were when they were younger. Launchpad sees himself as he was when he left home [[Recap/DuckTalesS1E12TopDuck some time ago.]] |
6 | * EvilIsNotWellLit: {{Discussed|Trope}}; Launchpad says they'll be all right as soon as the sun comes up because "everyone knows ghosts can only do their haunting at night." |
7 | * FountainOfYouth: Scrooge looks for the literal Fountain of Youth so that he can live longer. It turns out that the fountain only makes a person look younger when reflected in its waters. |
8 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: The others inadvertently make Scrooge feel old at his birthday party (such as by giving him a rocking chair), which provokes TheQuest for the Fountain of Youth. |
9 | * NoNameGiven: The antagonist's name is never given. |
10 | * ScoobyDooHoax: |
11 | ** The ghost is a man trying to scare people away so he can find the Fountain of Youth. |
12 | ** Huey, Dewey, and Louie dress up as a ghost to scare the antagonist. |
13 | * WorthlessTreasureTwist: Scrooge goes off to find the Fountain of Youth. When he does find it, the fountain doesn't really make him young, just his reflection. |
14 | * YouJustHadToSayIt: Louie asks what they're going to do. One of his brothers says, "Follow [the ghost]". Louie comments that he "had to say it." |
