Can you put in a spoiler tag what the ending was about?

Ok. You can also look it up on youtube.
In the show Gnomes only live to exactly 400 years old. David and his wife are both 399. In the last episode, a (single or widowed?) gnome friend of theirs which is also 399 asks them to go together to the mountain because he does not want to go alone. Swift (the fox) takes them near the top, and David says goodbye to Swift and tells the fox to go no further. Swift first goes away but then goes to see what happen. At the top David and wife sentimentally say goodbye to each other, "die" and actually transform into connected trees. Their gnome friend passes away after and transforms into another tree. Swift sees all of this and is (naturally) very sad. Going down from the mountain however, he meets another (younger) gnome that is riding a female fox with whom Swift appears to get along very well.

Has Duck Tales aged well? I really loved that show when I was a kid and I don't want to ruin it by watching it as an adult and thinking "What the hell is this crap?" It recently happened to me with Tiny Toon Adventures.

I think it's still watchable. Then again, I haven't revisited Tiny Toons at all. I wasn't a fan back when it was new, either, so maybe that says something.

they called it that because there was another show called "Ghostbusters"

But most everyone forgot this series.

I dont remember it and I've seen some pics on-line. There are DVDs of this series but I dont pay attention to it.

When I was little "the real ghost busters" cartoon scared me.

Im sure you can google the other series
Whoa, The Real Ghostbusters was actually one of the better written cartoons of the 80s. It reminded me a lot of a Marvel Comic with the recurring characters, the animation style, and the well written plots. It was more than just your average "good vs. evil" theme you'd get in most 80s toons.
