Or solve a mystery
I'll reserve judgment until I see how it turns out and that they don't air a new episode once every month or two.
I mean it can't be any worse than this, right?

It's on Disney XD, so this is inevitable.

You're not supposed to mention that.

Loved the show and movie as a kid.
Think "modern interpretation" more than "reboot" if you prefer.

BLATHERING. BLATHERING blatherskite. How did nobody correct this. Some fans you all claim to be!!
They've been working on this for a long time. I actually know a guy who got hired to write a treatment for it. Super secretive so I don't know if they picked him or not but it's been in the works since before the NES Remaster came out.
There's a whole group of people at Disney TVA that want to make reboots/continuations of Disney Afternoon shows but The Suits have always stonewalled them because "today's kids don't know these characters". HEAVEN FORBID you introduce them, right?!?
Teen Titans Go! also approves of this news:

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
I just hope this turns out good, and not wretchedly awful like Goof Troop. Remember Goofy and his jackass nephew Max? UGH I hope they don't try to give the 3 ducks kids a 'tude like Max

Will be disappointed when I see the CG.
Will be massively disappointed if they don't even bother using the original intro or at least making a good remix of it.

I am INSANELY EXCITED about this. My jaw dropped when I read the news because a co-worker and I were just talking a few months ago about how amazing it would be if Disney would revisit the series. As someone else said hopefully they don't use cheap flash style animation with blocky, semi-distorted Phineas and Pherb style designs or the Paul Ruddish Mickey style (no offense to either). Obviously aside from pencil tests the color and animation will be all digital but proper designs or bust. If it doesn't look like the original series I don't care.
As someone who has been collecting the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comics since the '80s in the old Gladstone distribution days, THIS and THIS.

Even the comics in Disney's Adventures were great.
The movie was the first movie I ever saw in theatres. I was really young. I think my brother was overwhelmed at the sound and lights and threw up.
The one episode I remember was the one where Huey Dewey and Louie want their allowance early so they change Uncle Scrooge's clocks and calendars one day ahead. It messes up Scrooge's schedule and he has to convince everyone else which day is correct. I thought it was an excellent commentary on how time is whatever we say it is.

Holy shit, Donald's gonna be a regular instead of a rare cameo?
Gonna have to keep my eyes peeled for this one.
But jesus christ, 1987, people who were BORN when the first DuckTales came out will be 30 by then. I fear for the ones who were alive and intelligent by the time it first started airing. Don't get alzheimers.

It just came to my mind that there is a big issue (at least for me) in having Comic Donald Duck appear in an animated series. I can't imagine CDD speaking with the classic Animated Donald Duck's voice. That's the voice of a comedy character, not the one of a well-rounded character as CDD.
That style is good for slapsticks comedies, not much for an adventure series.
The show will probably be targeted to children, so Daisy would not fit the idea "if our target are children, we need a child protagonist" (which I think is idiotic, but I don't create cartoons).
By the way this makes me think about the fact that "women" in Barks' comics (and often in Rosa's too) are just side characters. Yeah, we have Magica De Spell and Glittering Goldie, but Daisy is not that prominent at all.

Again, aside from writing obviously, the art will make or break this show. The fact it's on DisneyXD makes me very nervous. Do pencils and then farm it out to the Korean studio that animated Futurama. I don't care if the episodes have to be shorter, just need proper looking characters and decent animation.

Modern kids react to Ducktales and surprise, most of them say they would like to watch more of the show and go so far as to prefer the animation to the appearance of modern TV cartoons. If that doesn't show how clueless the Disney TV execs who've been stonewalling this for years are I don't know what does:

This one blew me away the first time I read it:
Scrooge McDuck Created Manga
Carl Barks was the most prolific writer and artist for the Disney Duck comics. He's responsible for four out of five entries on this list, and is therefore unarguably the father of the entire modern world. But possibly Bark's greatest contribution was the influence of Scrooge McDuck on one Osamu Tezuka. Don't recognize the name? Well, Tezuka has a few nicknames, like "The Father of Manga," or "The Godfather of Anime." If you've still got a blank stare on your face, then we'll just tell you he's the guy responsible for this (picture of Astro Boy):
He's also responsible for a few characters that weren't all that popular over here, like Black Jack and Kimba the White Lion, the latter of which Disney shamelessly stole -- you know, as back-payment for all of the sweet, sweet inspiration their guy doled out earlier.
Tezuka's work basically invented manga after World War II, which in turn inspired the cartoon form anime. Tezuka himself says that he owes absolutely all of this to none other than Scrooge McDuck. Tezuka's entire artistic style -- including such trademarks as the overly large, cutesy eyes and small mouths -- can still be seen today as defining aspects of Japanese animation. His work became the basis for all manga, ever, and Tezuka has confirmed that the basis for his work was Barks' Scrooge McDuck.
This means that without characters like this:
The world would have never had characters like this:
The real shame is that the properties are owned by different, not entirely friendly companies, so the two artist's works will never meet in film or print. Well other than all those greeting cards Tezuka sent to Barks throughout his life, thanking him for the inspiration.

Eh, I've always had cartoon Donald's voice in my head when reading both the Barks and Rosa comics (and Alan Young's voice for Scrooge). Plus, Donald fit in just fine during the handful of Ducktales episodes that he was featured in where he was a mixture of both thoughtful and feisty/bad tempered. Tony Anselmo is gonna do his voice again and it's gonna be awesome.

Can't wait. This is Disney's best franchise so it's great they'll capitalize on it. I wonder if it will skew more like the comic. Also I hope Flintheart Glomgold is South African this time.
Also fuck the guy who said Goof Troop sucked. It and Goofy movie were awesome. Plus Max was his son.

Yeah, Quack Pack is way more embarrassingly "try-hard" than I remember it being.
Anyways, I'm down to check out whatever they come up with.
I love Duck Tales; plus, green lighting great programs like "Gravity Falls", "Wonder over Yonder", "Star Vs the Forces of Evil", and those new Mickey Mouse cartoons by Paul Rudish gives me a lot of confidence in Disney's ability to pick winners in the TV-budgeted cartoon department.

Why did you remind me of this? Ugh. (haha)
It's going to be flash, so you might as well give up that ghost now.
I've only watched the first couple episodes a while ago so I checked out some of the newer ones, gotta say these are actually really good
