I admit I haven't read any of the above stories (since most of them have not been published in the US); but was there really a need to violate the rule that the Beagle Boys must always appear with masks, even when they're in disguise? That convention is so silly that it's funny per se... a Beagle Boy trying to pass for Scrooge's butler but still wearing a mask doesn't make much sense, but then neither does the mask in the first place. What makes it even funnier is that no one is able to immediately tell that they're talking to a Beagle Boy in disguise ... sort of a spoof of the Clark Kent/glasses thing.

This Beagle Boy is disguised as Scrooge's butler, there are 4 more panels in the story showing him without mask like this.

I'm curious, since he's not wearing his mask ... not that it would make a difference .... how did Scrooge know it was a Beagle Boy?

He explains later that the real butler wouldn't have asked for his hat, but for his long-due salary. The story turns around a magical hat that HDL have discovered and which the BB want to steal at any cost. Anyway, here is the context:

Mr. M
There was an DuckTales episode... "Scroogarello" the title was I think... where one of the Beagle Boys (Burger) was seen without his mask in one shot, propably do to an animation error. It still was hard not to notice since it was so unusuall.
I would do a screen shot but my "print-screen" button isn't working...

I believe that such a shot DID occur during "Scroogerello." There was at least one other case of a Beagle appearing sans mask -- I think it was during "Liquid Assets," the first part of the Gizmoduck debut story. It was a blink-and-you-missed-it moment when the Beagles walked into Scrooge's bin (?).
Mr. M
I just rewatched that episode and I can't find it... :(

BTW -> One more animated Beagle Boy without a mask moment is in animated movie "Mickey, Donald and Goofy - The three Musketeers" when one of the Beagles gets so shock at one point near the end that his mask jump above his head :D
Mr. M
Here is a obscure axample :

In this episode of "Quack Pack" Donald is straning a bunch of guard dogs and - in a interesting cameo - uses a Beagle Boy mannequin to teach the dogs to attack the bad guy. Affter few feild attemps we can see the Beagle boy in the background... with his mask taken off (!!!)

For the Scroogarello DuckTales Episode, I found it! Sorry for the kind of bad picture, my computer wasn't wanting to read the Duck Tales disc so I had to play it on TV and take a picture of it.

Yikes I don't blame Scrooge for that expression with how that Beagle boy is looking at him!
Mr. M
WOW!!!! :D
YHE! That's the scene :D

I always asume the reason why the Beagle Boys have the masks is because they are horrible disfigure under them. You know, some sort of "Phantom fo the Opera" thing going on...

To tell the truth I didn't notice it before it was pointed out to me here, now I don't think I can unsee that now (:
Hmm that is an interesting theory. I never thought of it that before. That would explain why they usually just don't take off their masks even though it makes it pretty obvious if they don't wear glasses (which you think Scrooge would have a complex about people in sunglasses by now haha). It's the lesser of two evils.

That scene brings up so many questions that are beyond simply him without a mask that I don't even know (why is he wearing a dress? Why is the dress pink of all colours? etc.). I guess this is another of those things that make sense in context.
Mr. M
Ow it makes... sort of ;) To be honest I recomend you check out this cartoon and see for yourself ;)
I admit the first half is very cliché, the song are a bit lazy (rather then write their own songs they just did riffs on classical scores) and I think it would work better if it was 20 minutes shorter... but the second half is very enjoyable. There are few sader and darker scenes that work very well (I like how Pete turns from a very goofy, comedic villian into a very dark one for few scenes), there is plenty of good comedic moments, there is an unecspected romance betwen two characters I won't dare to spoil but let's just say the scene is very, very funny and as I mentioned in diffrent post their version of the Beagle Boys is pretty cool and fun to watch...
Plus - for a made for TV movie - the animation is incredible good even if it dosen't have the cinematic levels of "The Prince and the Pauper"...

It's interesting to see maskless Beagle Boys, something that's a rarity but not in Disney Duck Comics!

Another example of Beagles without masks: the DUCKTALES episode "Top Duck." Throughout most of the episode, Burger, Bouncer, and their crooked-pilot sibling Bomber wear green-tinted glasses. Bomber, in fact, may be the only Beagle in history who is NEVER seen with a black mask at any point during his (one-shot) appearance.
