Oops I used the wrong name, sorry.
Anyway, I have a little bit more time to answer now...
Scarpa had made a short (6 minutes) cartoon named "Camminata Disney" in
1982, it used to air at the beginning of a TV show named "Topolino show",
that was a Saturday afternoon show, with games for kids, artists drawing
Disney characters live (I think I remember Marco Rota there) and Disney
toons.
This short toon was brought to Burbank and the result was a licence to
produce Disney animation in Italy.
But US animators weren't that happy about this (maybe not only for Italy, I
guess Japan might have something to do with it too, but I'm not sure about
that), and so there was a long strike... the result was no Disney animation
in Italy.
Some years later though, Scarpa tried again and made this short clip based
on short scene sent to him from Burbank. Once again it was approved, but
there just was no way to arrange a crew here in Italy who could work at the
fast pace required for Duck Tales, so eventually nothing really happened.
(For the details, thanks to the book "Sognando la Calidornia")

Curiosity is getting the better of me. Has "The Sharpie Of Culebra Cut" seen
print in America yet and if so in what Uncle Scrooge issue did it see print?
Lastly, how many Rosa stories do we have left to catch up on? I'm
practically aching to see Letter From Home, Dream Of A Lifetime, and the
Kalevalavelavalevalavaelvalevalealaelelavllvaelvlelvalalvlevlvelvelveva (can
you tell I have no clue how to spell that thing? ^___^) story.
Anybody have any insight?

Enter: http://coa.inducks.org/coa/c1/comp.php/0
Select "story" in the "Layout" drop-down menu. Write "Don Rosa" in the
"Creators/art or story" field. Scroll down a bit and check "Story was

My honest opinion:
DO look forward to "The Blot's Birthday Plot"! I think it may be my
favorite of all the Mickey birthday stories I've read. Why is this
published in May and not in November, by the way? Oh well...
Let me just say that the story is great. I'm a huge Eega Beeva fan, and a
story featuring BOTH Eega Beeva and The Phantom Blot... Oh my! Also, I've
always loved Byron Erickson's scripts. So... My advice is DON'T MISS IT.
I think I can manage to say this sentence without spoiling anything: The
trap The Blot sets up in this story is perhaps the most masterly one I've
ever seen. And he's had pretty many...

Thanks, E. B. I've only ever seen a few pages of this series, and for
years I've tried to figure out exactly what was the conceptual
difference between Les Petits Hommes and the Smurfs. The idea of people
who have freely chosen to be gnome-sized sounds intriguing. Does it take
place in a contemporary setting? (I couldn't tell from the few pages I
saw.)

But just because a lot of Paperinik or Super Goof stories may (in your
opinion) be dull, doesn't mean the characters themselves are bad, does
it? A lot of boring Donald Duck stories have been made, too.

It's Disney, yes, but the series was actually a one-hour sci-fi family
show. Pretty entertaining, too.
