Jim Cummings has the greatest voice for cartoons. Just hearing him talk, I can hear so many voices in there. Darkwing Duck was very under rated IMO. Never got the full attention it rightly deserved. My favorite episode was when Darkwing skips a Muddlefoot birthday to go to an alternate universe through a cake where he teams up with his arch enemies against his evil friends. Excellent episode!

Jim Cummings is a fantastic voice actor and Darkwing Duck was my childhood :)

"We're not even gonna talk about the fact that Darkwing didn't have pants. Winnie the Pooh has one red shirt."


Finally, someone who gets it

This incredible man makes me so happy. Jim Cummings is such an amazing voice actor. Whenever I think of Darkwing Duck Jim is the one who I think of when it comes to his voice.

1:02 I like how Jim Cummings saying the catchphrase and he'll just write something else he is.

I AM THE TERROR THAT FLAPS IN THE NIGHT, I AM THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THAT STILL HAS YET TO BE REBOOTED DESPITE AN OVERARCHING TREND OF 80s and 90s NOSTALGIA, AND I TOTALLY DESERVE IT MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE

I AM DARKWING DUCK

I LOVED Darkwing Duck as a kid and to this day (at 36) he still holds a very, very special place in my heart and always will. Disney, I beg you..PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring the terror that flaps in the night back to our TV screens. I and millions of others who grew up with him would love and appreciate it and a new generation of fans will love him (especially in this superhero crazed world/culture we have now). Oh and before I forget Happy 25th Anniversary DW! You're still one of my favorite heroes!

And now he's passed the torch to a new Darkwing--but is still staying on as Negaduck.

[chrissyweaver]

"Oh, that is so like you!" Hysterical. Makes me smile every time I think about it.

[tyleriguana]

I want to see Darkwing Duck as a separate show again. I mean, I love all the references in the DuckTales reboot and how much it is still a thing in the show, however generations now only see it as a "Side" show in the series more than an actual thing that was part of our childhood

[particlemane]

Jim Cummings is my favorite voice actor.

[jeremygaal]

I always really like Darkwing Duck and still do! Mostly thanks to Jim here!!

[vgfian]

I'd love to see this guy and Mark Hamill in a booth together lol

[supergenods]

Darkwing was LEGIT my hero when I was growing up. I watch the show now and cringe at the thought that this was my role model! XD

Still my favorite show to this day! Jim Cummings is my hero!

[xFairyLucy]

darkwing duck is my favorite cartoon when i was growing up!
i would love a new series. that would be great!
loved seeing Jim Cummings doing his voice

[Honey]

I wish the original series of Darkwing Duck could be finished being brought out on DVD. I have the first 2 volumes and I'd really love to have the whole series on DVD. What better way to celebrate 25 years of the masked mallard than being able to see it in it's entirety.

[Soniclover]

Oh my gosh I love him!!!Am a HUGE fan of Jim Cummings my freaking childhood right there!!!

[LoverofLiszt]

I am the terror that flaps in the night.
i am the noun that verbs the other noun.
I am Darkwing Duck.!

[TerminalSports]

Something I noticed about Negaduck is that Cummings applied his Dr. Robotnik voice to him to sound more menacing and I think that worked very well.
