Alan Burnett (born February 17, 1950) was a writer for season 2 and season 3 of the original DuckTales. Additionally, he served as co-producer for four of the final episodes of season 2, and wrote the screenplay to "DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp".
Burnett is an American television writer-producer particularly associated with Warner Bros. Animation, Hanna-Barbera Productions, DC Comics and Walt Disney television animation. He has had a hand in virtually every DC animated project since the waning years of the Super Friends. Burnett's contributions for Disney were largely a part of the 1990s Disney Afternoon, where he was attached to the Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears and various projects set in the Scrooge McDuck universe. Because of his primary focus on televised animation, he has occasionally been involved in film projects related to a parent television program. He is a graduate of the University of Florida and has an MFA in film production from the University of Southern California.
