http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/02/25/new-ducktales-animated-series-coming-to-disney-dx-in-2017

yes!!!!!

[TigerClaw]

That's cool, Though I don't have Disney XD.

[Vicky82]

Awesome, now bring back Gargoyles and Darkwing Duck.

[turtlefanforever]

could be good

[NinjaPug]

Great news. I hope the new series is traditional animation and not CG.

The best part is seeing that old episodes are available on the Watch Disney app.

[BubblyShell22]

Seriously? Awesome! I used to love Ducktales, and I get Disney XD, so when this comes on, I'll definitely try and watch it. When does it premiere?

2017 is when you can watch it.

[Creativemind]

I just hope they don't cheapen the animation style and make all the characters look flat and jagged like they have in recent years with their animated shows. No Phineas and Ferb styled Ducks please. :D

[Netkeeper]

My hope is that it's not CGI, personally. As long as they give me traditional animation, I'll love it.

[Mew]

Inspector Gadget will be in CG, and I hope this is!
:D

[THGhost]

Forgive me for saying this but... Is nothing sacred anymore? :roll:

Some things deserve to be rebooted. But DuckTales? I sincerely hope they don't use the original cast - Alan Young hasn't been so young for several decades now (95-years-old!), Chuck McCann (Duckworth) is 80 and June Foray (Magica) is 97! They might have passed on by the time this series is ready to air, forcing Disney to either cancel the series or recast them - and nobody wants that. A lot of the other cast members are also very old or have passed on.

On the plus side, maybe now Disney can finally give us the final DVD volume of the original series. :P

[snake]

Inspector Gadget will be in CG, and I hope this is!
:D

Nah. It should be traditionally animated.

[THGhost]

Since DuckTales Remastered was released not that long ago and DuckTales: The Movie was just re-released to the US public on DVD, it seems like Disney has slowly been building up to this announcement.

[AT-Man]

This could and should be really great. I hope the new series also draws a lost from Barks' stories, and maybe also from Don Rosa's.

[Wildcat]

This is really cool. I've been wanting to rewatch the original. I can't believe they still don't have a complete DVD release. They should have finished that rather than stream it.

I was thinking of buying the remastered game (disc) for ps3. Never played the NES version.

[Cure]

Forgive me for saying this but... Is nothing sacred anymore? :roll:



It's a cartoon. It isn't sacred.

[THGhost]

I can't believe they still don't have a complete DVD release. They should have finished that rather than stream it.

Tis the times we live in, unfortunately.

It's a cartoon. It isn't sacred.

It's an expression. Look it up. :P

All I can think of now is that Harry Styles may or may not have just told me that DuckTales isn't sacred. :lol:

[Sumac]

It's an expression. Look it up. :P
Doesn't make it less true.

[THGhost]

This does has the potential to be good, I will admit. I sincerely hope that it won't be CGI animation though. It wouldn't suit DuckTales at all.

Doesn't make it less true.

Oh boo hoo.

[Candy Kappa]

I really don't get the hate for CGI... Then again, a lot of people was against the dreaded Talkies. :roll:

[THGhost]

I really don't get the hate for CGI... Then again, a lot of people was against the dreaded Talkies. :roll:

It's not that I hate it, it works great with the Nick TMNT series. It's the older shows that used it that's the problem, they usually don't age well since CGI is constantly evolving.

Awesome, now bring back Gargoyles and Darkwing Duck.

I second that; and finish Darkwing Duck's DVDS while you're at it, Disney!

[TigerClaw]

I really don't get the hate for CGI... Then again, a lot of people was against the dreaded Talkies. :roll:
I don't get it either, And CGI has improved over the years, I guess most just complain about the art style.

[TurtleTitan97]

But like TigerClaw said, CGI has greatly advance from its early days. All it needs is the proper execution.

[THGhost]

But like TigerClaw said, CGI has greatly advance from its early days. All it needs is the proper execution.

Like I said though, it's the older shows that are the problem. CGI shows now are fine. It just remains to be see whether or not CGI will suit DuckTales or not. If it does, great. I'm all for it. I do however believe that traditional hand-drawn animation still has more charm to it, the same goes for practical effects over CGI in movies.

[TigerClaw]

Besides, If they go CGI for this new series, They can stick to the old style of the original show, But in CGI, They can do CGI that has the cell shading of the original cartoons.

[Candy Kappa]

Disney have done a lot of great CGI translations with their characters, like Mickey shorts in 3D, and shows in 3D. I don't see why suddenly somethign called Ducktales would make Disney's sculptors, designers and animators loose their ability to create something.

Man, you know how weird people get over CGI versus traditional animation. It's no use.

[CyberCubed]

Its hard to believe people are complaining about a CG cartoon on a forum where most of you watch the Nick TMNT cartoon and are fine with it graphically.

I think most of the complaints over CGI has to do with the art style, You could have CGI that looks cartoony or with more realistic details.

[THGhost]

It's definitely do to with the art style. That and because hand-drawn animation has more charm and soul to it, not to mention more effort put into it. CGI to many feels like a cheaper and faster way of creating something.

Hopefully a CGI DuckTales will look great though and I'm sure it will.

[snake]

I'm fine with good looking cgi, just not cheap cgi.

[TMNT_Guy]

I didn’t think the CGI in Christmas: Impossible (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7ihPsm2kZQ) (The closest thing we’ve ever gotten to a Ducktales sequel) was that bad and that was one of the early CG productions from Disney. No matter what they choose, “traditional” or computer, I just don’t think it’s going to look as good as the original show. The budget for television animation nowadays isn’t what it used to be. However I also think Disney realizes the legacy of these characters (and not just Ducktales but the original Carl Barks comics.) and we’ll at least get something slightly above average.
I sincerely hope they don't use the original cast - Alan Young hasn't been so young for several decades now (95-years-old!).
Alan Young just voiced Scrooge this year in “Goofy’s First Love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkbw0kvtYt4)”. I don’t think he’s leaving the character anytime soon, nor should he.

In closing, I just hope the show is successful enough to bring back Darkwing Duck.

I concur. :D

He could have a cameo in the new DuckTales show and then get his own spin-off if the ratings were good enough - which they would be.

[Wildcat]

Thought I'd post this. Found it a couple years ago. I find it oddly very enjoyable. There's just something cool about it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&v=wvPDgNx7B7U

As for the cgi as long as it has its own distinct look I'm fine with it.

I've always thought though, when cgi is chosen because it's easier for anything not just this, couldn't they easily use cgi to create a traditional animation look? Like...hey, it's traditional animation! but it's really made by computer. No one's the wiser.

It doesn't actually have to be hand drawn by a person.

[Wildcat]

I'm laughing my *** *** off.Ha well most slowed down music sounds funny but I still think there's something cool about this one. Like ignoring the voice the music actually sounds pretty nice and the woo-hoo part.

[Netkeeper]

I really don't get the hate for CGI...
I'm sick of seeing it so much. I hate that there are no traditionally animated theatrical releases any more. I hate that nobody seems to care about it any more. I've always vastly preferred it, and while I don't mind CGI for some things, so many cartoons are using it when traditional animation would look so much better.

For things like Toy Story and Transformers, CGI works in their favour. For things like Frozen that heavily feature human characters, it's an awful choice, because I don't like the way humans are often stylized in CGI. I think they look ugly. A good example is the boy from Up. I really don't like the way he looks. That movie, as much as I love it, would have been infinitely better-looking if it had been traditionally animated.

I can't see DuckTales looking good in CGI, either. Also, one must remember that the CGI used in cartoons is generally much lower budget than the stuff you see in movies, and even if season 1 looks good, there's no telling what future seasons may look like if budgets get cut. A slight difference would be seriously noticeable with CGI, whereas with traditional animation it wouldn't be so severe.

[Candy Kappa]

Meh, low budget 2D animations can look just as bad as some 3D animation. Just take a quick gander at the crappy movies that tried to ride off on Disney's movies. Like for example the animated Swan Princess, it's 2D, but it looks biting and dull with no interesting animation from the main characters. And all the Golden Films and Jetlag Productions.

[Netkeeper]

True, but I'd much rather look at low budget 2D than low budget CGI. Just personal preference, really.

[Jester]

As long as the tone is the same, it could be stop motion and I'd watch it.


I do worry about the aged members of the cast, both Allan Young and June Foray are in their mid 90's....they may still be kicking, but who knows for how long. I just finished watching the cut scenes from Ducktales Remastered and I hope they find a better Fenton Crackshell/Gizmoduck. Ms. Beakly and Gyro were close enough, but something was "off" about Fenton.

[Candy Kappa]

Personally, I think good animation and design matters most (and ofc story, but that has nothing to do with animation), regardless of medium, be it 2D animation, Hand Drawn animation, 3D animation or Stop-Motion. Or if tools like Rotoscoping, Mo-Cap or Match Moving is being used.

It all need to carry the same principals of animation and movie making techniques.

People are too often giving lazy 2D a free pass simply because it's 2D, while 3D animation as a whole is often judged by lazy 3D animations. And both lazy 2D and lazy 3D is done by the same kind of unprofessional people that don't have an understanding of animation and its stages.

I could care less if it's CGI or even traditionally animated. As long as they stay true to the tone of the series, I'll be fine with it.

June Foray is 97 actually, meaning she'll be pushing 99 when the series airs. Alan Young will also be pushing 97 by then. :P

Didn't he also reprise his role in DuckTales Remastered?

I have a friend on Facebook with whom I attended grade school. She was a fan of the show back in the day. I saw that her sister posted on her wall about the upcoming version. Since she's also going to have a baby soon, she told me in a message that she's looking forward to watching shows like this with her kid. So I hope her future daughter likes it. In fact, I'm hoping my friend likes it too.

[ssjup81]

It's definitely do to with the art style. That and because hand-drawn animation has more charm and soul to it, not to mention more effort put into it. CGI to many feels like a cheaper and faster way of creating something.

Hopefully a CGI DuckTales will look great though and I'm sure it will.Yeah, this is how I feel about CGI. I mostly prefer traditional animation. Feels more went into it, imo. I also have a higher appreciation for it.

[NinjaPug]

Not sure about the reliability but according to this report the new series will be CG animation. Also says Disney is considering bringing back Darkwing Duck as well. Yes please.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Darkwing?! I'm there!

I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the mustard that squirts all over your new suit! I am Darkwiiiing Duck!

Yes, I am entirely too excited for this idea....

[TMNT_Guy]

There was supposed to be a continuation of Boom Studio’s Darkwing Duck comic this year, but it’s been put on hold due to the Ducktales reboot.

I'd have mixed feelings about a Darkwing Duck reboot. On one hand, I love to see a new Darkwing Duck cartoon and I’d be interested to see what new things they could do with it. On the other hand, I fear a reboot might endanger the current Darkwing Duck comic, due to it using the old continuity, and I’d hate to see such a fantastic comic scrapped because of it…

…and that’s not even getting into the nitpicky things, like will Jim Cummings return to voice DW? He’s still got it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu7SDE-Lruk), but so does the old Ducktales cast.

[TurtleTitan97]

Don't get your hopes up, folks. I've heard that this "Jim Hill" who is reporting this article isn't exactly a reliable source for news.

[NinjaPug]

There was supposed to be a continuation of Boom Studio’s Darkwing Duck comic this year, but it’s been put on hold due to the Ducktales reboot.

I thought Boom Studios lost the license for Darkwing Duck and other Disney properties. Is this with another comic label?

[TMNT_Guy]

Joe Books is continuing the series (http://www.digitalspy.com/comics/news/a605296/darkwing-duck-returns-to-comics.html#~pqrpafekZZMaQQ), they even brought back the original writer and artist from the Boom Studios series. They also released a new omnibus with every issue of the Boom Studios comic run with some improvements to the originals. Here's what Aaron Sparrow, the writer for the series, had to say about it:
(http://negaverse.net/oldhaunt/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2655)
Hi guys!

Yep, it took us longer than we hoped, but we did it... all new Darkwing Duck comics in 2015! There's also going to be some other Disney Afternoon favorites returning, some of which haven't had new stories in YEARS... but that's all I can say about that for the time being. :D

As for the omnibus, I can honestly say that even if you own every DW comic that BOOM! published... the collection is worth getting. Not only did James do a ton of model fixes, but colors have been tweaked by Andrew Dalhouse and Lisa Moore. There's at least one new two-page spread in the FOWL arc, a new page added to a sequence in Campaign Carnage to tie the story together a little better... and the entire script of all 16 issues have been completely remastered by me and re-lettered by Deron Bennett. And, of course, it includes an all-new epilogue which wraps the whole thing up and launches us into the new status quo for the regular monthly series.

Everyone who worked on the original series did a great job, and we're happy to be able to revisit it and bring you this "Definitively Dangerous Edition"!

As for the monthly series, let's just say we start off with a bang! Where THE DUCK KNIGHT RETURNS was a slow build, the new series drops you right into the middle of Darkwing's world without a parachute! I think you're all going to love what we have in store!
However the final storyline “Dangerous Currency” isn't included for multiple reasons, one of which is because it has been deemed non-canon by Disney. Which is good, also for multiple reasons.

So the Joe Books Darkwing Duck comics will continue where #16 left off…hopefully after the Ducktales reboot airs.

[NinjaPug]

Very interesting. That's a pretty long wait. I wonder why the new Ducktales show postponed the new DWD comic series. Seems like they would be completely unrelated. It makes me think Darkwing could possibly make an appearance in the new Ducktales show.

[TurtleTitan97]

Looks pretty good!

[drgon78]

kind of reminds me of Kim Possible's background design.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

No launchpad! inspiration by Carl Barks, so has potential. I really like the old Barks/Don Rosa comics.

[TurtleTitan97]

This is probably a stupid question, but do we know if Launchpad is even returning in this series? Because the image is giving me the feeling Donald is taking his place in the group.

[Raph's Girl]

This is probably a stupid question, but do we know if Launchpad is even returning in this series? Because the image is giving me the feeling Donald is taking his place in the group.

Yeah I don't think Launchpad will be in it. Especially since it shows Uncle Scrooge driving. Webigale looks a bit older than she did in the original.

[NinjaPug]

The original release about the show last year said Launchpad would be returning.

[TurtleTitan97]

It's based on the Carl Barks era, and Donald Duck was originally in the "launchpad" roll. In the original show, the creators thought Donald steal the focus from Scrooge and that his voice would be to hard to understand. Hence Launchpad was used.

I hope he's in it tho.

Now if ya'll excuse, I got a major hankering to read some Scrooge McDuck and watch some Ducktales.

I wonder if that's why Huey, Dewey, and Louie's voices were different from Donald Duck's. In previous cartoons where they involved, they also sounded like Donald Duck. I personally thought they sounded better than Donald Duck in DuckTales, and I was glad that they had the same voices for this one Christmas special.

[TurtleTitan97]

So I don't know if this has been shared, but according to Terry McGovern (Launchpad), the whole voice cast is being replaced: http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/news/Ducktales-Cast-Not-Returning-for-Reboot/

"I am heartsick. Bad news. This is not a life or death situation, but it feels like one. Disney is re-booting Ducktales. And, here’s the bad news for me and the rest of the original cast–they are RE-CASTING! A very sweet woman called me from their offices to impart this development just moments ago. It was considerate of them, but it was not what I wanted to hear. When she first introduced herself on the phone, that she was calling on behalf of Ducktales, I thought, WOW! THE BAND’S GETTING BACK TOGETHER! Alas, it’s going to be a new band. So…someone else will play Launchpad McQuack. I haven’t told Launchpad himself yet. He’s in the garage tinkering with the Thunderquack. I just don’t have the heart to tell him. But I will. Just don’t tell him until I do, OK? And thanks for your sympathy. I wish the new cast well."

Goddammit. Alan Young is still going strong though, at least keep him as Scrooge. Although, he is 96. I can understand Disney not wanting to use him in case he dies halfway through production. Sad, but true.





Here's some good news. First look at the new series:

http://media.comicbook.com/2016/03/duck-tales-2017-173056.jpg

It's not CGI! Thank God!

Looks like we might be getting more Donald this time around.

[ProactiveMan]

Is that production art or is it actually going to look like that? If so, it's rad!

[THGhost]

Is that production art or is it actually going to look like that? If so, it's rad!

I hadn't thought of that. I can't find anything about it being production art though.

[Spike Spiegel]

Donald's black shirt is an interesting design choice.

[drgon78]

It's sad to hear that none of the original voice cast is returning but I am not surprised at all.

[Cure]

So I don't know if this has been shared, but according to Terry McGovern (Launchpad), the whole voice cast is being replaced: http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/news/Ducktales-Cast-Not-Returning-for-Reboot/

Were they supposed to come back when this was announced?

[NinjaPug]

Were they supposed to come back when this was announced?

No, fans were just hopeful they would

[STORMSHADOW__210]

Forgive me for saying this but... Is nothing sacred anymore? :roll:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/THGhost/right-in-the-childhood.jpg

Some things deserve to be rebooted. But DuckTales? I sincerely hope they don't use the original cast - Alan Young hasn't been so young for several decades now (95-years-old!), Chuck McCann (Duckworth) is 80 and June Foray (Magica) is 97! They might have passed on by the time this series is ready to air, forcing Disney to either cancel the series or recast them - and nobody wants that. A lot of the other cast members are also very old or have passed on.

On the plus side, maybe now Disney can finally give us the final DVD volume of the original series. :P


Funny thing , I actually just bought all 3 volumes on Amazon and have started to watch them with my daughter before school And I'm really enjoying watching these again. What is this about the final volume not released ?

[Cure]

No, fans were just hopeful they would

Then I don't see what the big deal is.

[NinjaPug]

Then I don't see what the big deal is.

You can't go changing things associated with people's nostalgia without expecting some type of uproar.

[Cure]

It's not really a change if it's a reboot; it's new. But yeah, I guess most people don't see it that way. Dumb.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Goddammit. Alan Young is still going strong though, at least keep him as Scrooge. Although, he is 96. I can understand Disney not wanting to use him in case he dies halfway through production. Sad, but true.


Hmm, I had never realized that was Alan Young before- though now that you mention it I always thought his voice was familiar. Who'd have ever thought Uncle Scrooge was also Wilbur Post?! (aka Mister Ed's owner)

[Mayhem]

I've met Alan Young and June Foray, both wonderful people. But I can understand why they are recasting them, for the reasons mentioned. They could have kept everyone else though...

[THGhost]

Funny thing , I actually just bought all 3 volumes on Amazon and have started to watch them with my daughter before school And I'm really enjoying watching these again. What is this about the final volume not released ?

The last 2 seasons of the original show were never released on DVD. 25 episodes in total. The region 2 sets also have 7 episodes missing (I therefore own the region 1 sets).

They can be found online through "not exactly legal" means. Hopefully if the new show does well Disney will release volume 4, or even re-release the entire series. It could do with a re-master.

[NinjaPug]

FYI....you can purchase every episode of DuckTales including the ones that weren't released on DVD on iTunes now.

Now they need to release the rest of the Darkwing Duck episodes not on DVD.

[Mayhem]

You were able to do that with a few of the DA shows on Amazon Prime for a while, but I believe they've been taken off.

[NinjaPug]

They finally revealed the creative team behind the new series:

The upcoming series will be executive-produced by Annie Award nominee Matt Youngberg (Ben 10: Omniverse). The story editor and co-producer is Francisco Angones (Disney XD’s Emmy Award-nominated Wander Over Yonder) and the art director is Sean Jimenez (Disney XD’s Annie Award-winning Gravity Falls).

[TurtleTitan97]

I'm so excited for this!

[retr0pia75]

I'm still reserving judgement on this, but I really love the direction they're taking with the art style. It has that classic Carl Barks style but it also has a bit of the look of the recent Mickey shorts as well.
If only Alan Young was still around for this, only then that would seal the deal 100% for me.

[ssjup81]

Looks okay to me. Kind of curious how it'll turn out. I really loved the original series, and I am glad that they're using Webby (I feel like the only person in the world who actually liked her character), so yeah. It is sad that Alan Young passed away, though.

[CyberCubed]

It'll probably be a toned down version of the original with worse humor same as the Powerpuff Girls reboot. I don't trust them to get it right. The kids of today need "loud" in your face humor popularized by Spongebob and Family Guy. This cartoon came out in the olden days when humor in kids cartoon was more about satire or more subtle.

[CyberCubed]

Family Guy isn't a kids show....

But its loud humor. All current kids shows use that type of "loud" humor like Teen Titans Go and so forth.

Look at old cartoons from the 80's and 90's that were intended for kids or were comedies, the humor is more satire based or more tongue and cheek. Same with the original TMNT cartoon compared to the Nick cartoon.

[thundermaster612]

It looks pretty good and cozy. I might watch it

You have a point. Most cartoons nowadays have characters just running around screaming a lot with other people running around screaming asking why they're running around screaming. Is there a time that TTG Cyborg isn't screaming?

[Wildcat]

Looks cute. I highly doubt they'll just turn it into a random/in your face humor kinda cartoon. I don't see Disney going through the work of reviving an old franchise to do that.

A lot of that kinda humor seems to be with Cartoon Network shows.

[Shiro Kame]

Who else keeps mentally repeating over and over again, begging the powers that may be, for the show not to suck?

[AT-Man]

Who else keeps mentally repeating over and over again, begging the powers that may be, for the show not to suck?

I am. The one thing that I'm most concerned about, is how Donald's voice will sound. How would it be recognizable as Donald, but not sound too "quacky" or incomprehensible?

[NinjaPug]

Who else keeps mentally repeating over and over again, begging the powers that may be, for the show not to suck?

I think the show is in good hands. The head producer and story editor are both big fans of Carl Barks. I'm pretty excited for this.

[TMNTInsighter]

Awesome, now bring back Gargoyles and Darkwing Duck.

I'm with you on the first show (though I am still contend to let it RIP with how it is) while the second show I can live with either way.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

I am glad that they're using Webby

I recall when she grew extremely tall in one episode, just like Irma.

[NinjaPug]

New image. Finally get to see Launchpad.

Donald AND Launchpad, how it should be;)

[Technogeek29]

Didn't see the grappling hook at first and thought Webbie has a gun. I know Scrooge is rather over protective of his nephews (save Donald) and adopted niece so I was double taking for a bit there.:lol:

They seem to have given Huey, Dewey and Louie more individuality In Design,

That's actually fan art. It fooled me the first time I saw it.

Heads are the same but there are pretty distinguishable differences in their hair and clothing (not just the red, blue and green versions that look the same outside of the different colors).

Fan art, you say? Pretty darn good, fooled me too.

[Leofan26]

I'm surprised to see Launchpad in this series, guess I just assumed they'd forgotten about his character and would be replaced with Donald. I'm happy about this though, he was one of my favorite characters in both Duck Tales and Darkwing Duck, hopefully they remember how to write his character. I also want lots of Launchpad / Donald Duck interactions :)

[THGhost]

One does not simply "forget" about Launchpad McQuack. ;)

[sdp]

This looks awesome. I've got no interest in watching it unless a future son/daughter would want to but I love the art style. I also really liked the art style of those "new" Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny shorts that came out a few years ago now, whatever happened to them? I never heard much about them but they also looked awesome.

Excellent!! :D

[TurtleWA]

I am more excited for this than I have been for anything in awhile. I recently watched the movie Treasure of The Lost Lap. Hadn't seen it since childhood.
You know how when you experience something as an adult sometimes it's not as good as when you were a kid. Well the movie was still pretty darn awesome.
Can't wait for new TV series!!!
Although I only have Hulu and Netflix so out of luck until season 1 hits DVD.

[ZariusTwo]

Keep an eye out for the Donald Duck short "Duck the Halls" this month, as you get your first look at Scrooge and the nephews. Hear Scrooge's voice here

Why is magica despel a lesbian now?


Knowing that even the gay community gets confused by some of these decisions doesn't make me feel so bad wondering how and why they make some of these decisions..

sigh.

Are we even sure that's a confirmation? Could be an error on the writers part.

[Vegita-San]

Are we even sure that's a confirmation? Could be an error on the writers part.

yeah, it was written very weirdly, so i'm not even sure if that is the case.

But, considering disney is making an effort to insert gay and lesbian characters into star wars books now for some reason, it wouldn't surprise me if it's a company wide initiative for more diversity.

It said, "LGBT icon" but you don't have to be LGBT to be an icon. Cher, Lady Gaga, and Diana Ross are all...I think...LGBT icons and are all...I think...straight.

Looking forward to it! :D

[Wildcat]

I'm not worried about the show but I was looking through some of the YouTube comments and someone created an account as Member Berries. :lol:

Thier channel is totally blank. They specifically made it for the gag. It does fit with this kinda reboot and with a lot of other stuff. Some were saying Member Launchpad? Oh ya I member!

Member Gizmo Duck? Ya I member! (he was my favorite)

[TurtleWA]

Oh yeah I member gizmoduck, blathering blatherskite :lol:

What will happen with one of the greatest opening theme songs ever? Just a little concerned it will be a new song.

I would be okay with a remix or current band covering it but for a totally new song. That will take some getting use to.

[ZariusTwo]

zZek9PFMYOw

Meet the all-new cast as they sing the theme!

Also...The 10th Doctor is Scrooge!:)

[NinjaPug]

I really like Tennant voicing Scrooge. Excited to hear his take.

[plastroncafe]

That is one HELL of a voice cast.
Love to see both Tennant and Micucci on the same show again, though here's to hoping she doesn't get recast as Gilbert Gottfried....again.

[Autbot_Benz]

as a huge Doctor Who fan Tennant as Scrooge is perfect casting sign me up

[THGhost]

Awesome. Webby's casting is perfect!

Hayley from Castle. Sweet. :tcool:

More characters confirmed here, including Glumgold and Gizmoduck

Would be extremely doubtful to happen given her age.

[Raph's Girl]

I love this video. Especially the part where Tennant is looking around him like Alice did in the Brady Bunch theme. *lol*

But YEAH! They got an actual Scottish person to voice Uncle Scrooge!! :D

[THGhost]

Would be extremely doubtful to happen given her age.

She hasn't retired, so she might get a small role. I hope she does. :)

[Powder]

Man, that cast. Blech.

[Wildcat]

Oh please. We're gonna complain about voices now. :roll:

Anyone who can do decent voice acting is good enough. Nobody gave a second thought who did the voices for cartoons when we were kids. No one kept track.

What I wanted to say though I hope this gets a good toyline. I don't recall a lot of actual toys. Looking through ebay I only see minifigs, plushies and general stuff like books or puzzles.

I had some plushies and books (I still have one) but I'd like legitimate action figures and sets. Legos would be awesome. They have the Disney license.

[Powder]

Oh please. We're gonna complain about complaints now. :trolleye:

[ZariusTwo]

At least give reasons for why they're "blech"

[saintsaucey]

It was two different pages. I commented on the person who posted an overly large picture causeing the rest of the comments to shrink to half the page then went back and read the reast of the thread/comments. Kinda makes it difficult to multi quote. But go ahead and be a dick

[TurtleTitan97]

Oh please. We're gonna complain about voices now. :roll:




I may not agree with Powder, but last I checked there wasn't a rule in this thread against raising a complaint so I don't know why you should be getting so bent outta shape.

If he dislikes the cast, it's his opinion and he has every right to voice it.

[plastroncafe]

Yeah, if Powder wants to s#itpost, they're certainly allowed.

Because anyone can edit imdb. It's fan art. They haven't released anything Beagle Boy related yet.

One of the most tiresome things about internet culture these days. demeaning peoples opinions just because thy happen to be of the 'negative' variety.

believe it or not, there is an entire website created just because people spent their youth paying attention or tracking voices. that is one reason why this ducktales cast is so lackluster in star power and or talent...

[saintsaucey]

100% wrong.


this is disney stunt casting at it's finest. real voice actors need to go on strike or something.

This isn't miccuci or tennant's first rodeo. Also the idea that anyone is intitled to a job just because they have done it in the past is ludicrous.

[Vegita-San]

who said anything like entitled?

People like Kevin Michael Richardson and Tara Strong and Rob Paulsen have been around for so long cause they have actual talent and develop a following.

The only person i've heard of in this cast is dr.who, but apparently the others are all SNL celebrities. what I've seen of SNL lately doesn't really announce talent.

Back in the day, people used to give these type of flagship shows to people they trusted and knew could do a good job. these days, it's all stunt casting..first in movies, and now in tv shows it seems.

the cast could be good. but i'd feel better if it had voices that i trust in it..

Well then pull your head out of the sand cause they've all been around for a while now. Just because you don't know them doesn't mean others don't.

In order of fame/skill it would probably be tennant, micucci/schwarts puddi/moynihan bennett (who had a national tv ad before he got tapped for snl. The only person didn't know was the chick who is playing mrs beakley. I highly doubt she got cast for her star power.

Also you can't complain about stunt casting and then say you've never heard of them.

[THGhost]

Toks Olagundoye recently gained a following from starring in the last few seasons of ABC's Castle and The Neighbors. I enjoyed her on Castle, no idea how good she is at difference voices though. Casting her as Mrs. Beakley is an interesting choice.

Castle was my ex's favorite show. Stopped watching it after we broke up. Left a bad taete in my mouth. She hadn't joined the cast yet. And I only caught a couple episodes of neighbors.

[THGhost]

I don't even know who most of the cast are. :P I just know Tennant (Doctor Who), Olagundoye (Castle) and Micucci (Scrubs & The Big Bang Theory). :lol:

Castle was my ex's favorite show. Stopped watching it after we broke up. Left a bad taete in my mouth. She hadn't joined the cast yet. And I only caught a couple episodes of neighbors.

I can relate to that. Toks played a fun character, she brought a lot of humerous, light-hearted moments to the show with a great English accent. Wonder if she'll use it for DuckTales?

[plastroncafe]

You've heard Micucci's voice work if you've been watching the Nick series.
She's the voice of Irma, prior to the Kraang Sub-Prime twist.

Tennant is Honeycutt, the Fugitoid.

Danny Pudi was on Community as Abed, and Ben Schwartz is Jon Ralphio on Parks and Rec...and also did some voice consultation for BB-8 in The Force Awakens.

Donald appears to be voiced by the same guy who does his voice in the Kingdom Hearts games, so there's your veteran voice talent.

Bobbie is only playing one of them. Louie

[Powder]

At least give reasons for why they're "blech"

I think just about everyone but Tennant & Miccuci suck as comedic talent. Toks is an exception as I'm not familiar with her at all so I have no thoughts on their involvement.

At it again, eh Powder? :P

Being harped on for no reason? Yeah, I'm "at it again".

Seriously, this. These guys were cherry picked from cornball "comedy" shows that college-age nitwits like. As far as I'm concerned they don't have the chops. I think Scrooge & Webby are in good hands. The rest, while probably not awful by any means, won't be particularly charming.

[TurtleWA]

Bobbie is only playing one of them. Louie

Oh, thats good to know. I actually prefer three different voice actors but for some reason thought only one was hired for the three parts. :)

Watched it just now. Thanks.

So at least people are somewhat in general agreement Scrooge voice actor will be decent. I'm not so worried about the casting. I know shows in the past have switched voice actors after the first season so nothing's permanent.

I'm excited to see if they go on some of the same adventures or all new. Two episodes that stick in my head are "Pearl of Wisdom" and "The Hound of Castle McDuck." And others but those two I always liked. Anyone else remember any one particular episode?

Oh sure. The opening is still one of my favorites. I'm still jealous that duck tales, chip and dales rescue rangers, tailspin and gargoyles got 2 hour openings or more and darkwing duck only got an hour if that.

The one that sticks out the most to me is the duck in the iron mask in which one of the boys is obsessed not lookong like his brothers.

The other standalone they go to austraila or new zealand or what ever the duck equivilant was and fought a guy with remote control boom a rangs. Then there was the episode where scrooge and magica go to the future and the boys are assholes and doofus and webby are a couple.

[Wildcat]

The few who have complained about the voice casting proves exactly what I was thinking. They're only reason is because they're current actors/actresses that are too "mainstream". :lol:

Aside from being a cartoon where it's only their voice it's just the same stupid mentality of regarding newer casts as "too hip" or only picked to be trendy.

The same thing can be labeled to every actor in the history of TV and Movies. They get work because they're current. This is how it's always been and will be.

Oh please. You just hate it any time anyone dislikes something current because you're some sort of anti-nostalgia contrarian who thinks anyone that doesn't enjoy X in the now is only as such because they're fixed on X of the past. Kate & David are current & hip as hell & we're not complaining about them.

LET PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OPINIONS! You do this every single time someone is critical of modern media for ANY reason!

Why would someone who is anti nostalgia be excited about the revival of a classic cartoon.

[Powder]

It's his schtick. Any time someone takes issue with an aspect of a new thing he refuses to concede their points & just goes "NOPE UR BLINDED BY NOSTALGIA!". Whenever I come to this section & express my opinion, Wildcat comes along to give me crap about it not being valid, & I'm sick of it.

[TurtleWA]

Im not sure. I know Fenton has already been confirmed. I was hoping they would save him for season two at least. Gyro and Gladston Gander are the only two good guys

I forget the reasons I had as a kid but never really liked Gladstone but maybe I wasn't suppose to.

Fenton and Gyro yeah that's awesome have to have those two for sure. I like Gyro's character. Probably for some of the same reasons I'm drawn to Donatello.

So Fenton is confirmed for first season or just generally confirmed for the show? Memories getting jogged some. Wasn't Launchpad Gizmoduck for an episode or two?

[Wildcat]

Ha, anyone on here can clearly see I neither troll or directly give any single user crap.

Yes I do tend to repeat myself quite often. It's because the same type of complaints are often made about a lot of things. Not just here on Technodrome either.

And anyone who makes the effort to poke into a topic just to say "so and so is blech" did not just do it to give thier opinion.

[Powder]

And anyone who makes the effort to poke into a topic just to say "so and so is blech" did not just do it to give thier opinion.

What "effort"? I clicked the thread, watched a video, posted my comment. Isn't that what you do on a forum? You think this is a concise effort to cause problems or draw negativity to myself? I want none of that. I left my initial reaction to it. That is all I did. Period. I didn't judge those of you who like their casting decisions, I didn't make a big fuss of my dislike, I said one word...

Danny Pudi was on Community as Abed, and Ben Schwartz is Jon Ralphio on Parks and Rec...and also did some voice consultation for BB-8 in The Force Awakens.

Donald appears to be voiced by the same guy who does his voice in the Kingdom Hearts games, so there's your veteran voice talent.

I was talking about live-action roles. Never seen Community or Parks and Rec.

Community and Parks and Rec are live action.

Somebody's created a Doctor Who/DuckTales mashup song:

Not to point out the obvious, but I did say that I hadn't seen them. :P

I'm very behind with American comedy on TV. The Big Bang Theory and New Girl are all I watch at the moment. Both are way past their prime, but I like the characters so I've stuck with them.

I keep up with cartoons though, definitely watching this when it arrives.

Parks and rec is way better than big bang theory. It is a little awkward starting out. Though I do like big bang theory.

Community is similar

And a second season

[TurtleTitan97]

Looks like it will be a fun series.

[NinjaPug]

Good news on the 2nd season although it was expected.

I like everything I've seen from this series so far.

[drgon78]

The voices sound terrible, well except for Donald's.

[Autbot_Benz]

The trailer looks great they already had me with David Tennant as Scrooge such perfect casting on that.

[Anarchistguy]

This already looks better than the old show to me. Something about this trailer captures the feeling of the Uncle Scrooge comics.

[Jester]

Good to see Scrooge being tougher than the toughie and smarter than the smarties.

[plastroncafe]

I've gone from skeptical to cautiously optimistic to openly optimistic wrt this show. Kind of stoked for it.

Gosh that animation is pretty.

[Anarchistguy]

Is it me or do the nephews look Quack-Packesque?

[ZariusTwo]

Is it me or do the nephews look Quack-Packesque?

They do, and that troubles me a bit...did'nt particulary care for that show.

[Utrommaniac]

David Tennant is almost passable as Scrooge McDuck, but oh god, the nephews...no...nope nope nope. You are too young for puberty voices.

[AT-Man]

Lauchpad seems to be his old self, so that's good. I'm cautiously optimistic.

[Shark_Blade]

The boys' deep voices remind me of Gravity Falls. Cool. :tlove:

[TigerClaw]

At least Donald still sounds the same. :lol:

[sdp]

That is the most uninspiring and yawn inducing trailer i've seen in a while. The colors make the show look so dull as well. I'm still loving the art-style of the show and while I"m not really interested on watching it I think it's awesome this thing exists and wish I liked Disney characters enough to force me into checking it out.

[GoldMutant]

As much as I like the color style bearing some resemblance to the comics and the updated Ducktales theme at the end, the voices doesn't hold my interest.

For some reason, I couldn't fully understand Tony Anselmo as Donald Duck; I know Donald can sound incoherent, but it's a bit off putting for me. The chemistry between Huey, Dewey, and Louie doesn't feel there yet outside that one joke of who's the worst of em. As for David Tennant... honestly, he's got parts of Scrooge down with the accent, but something feels off.

That's the way I personally feel, the voice cast while decent doesn't seem 100% great. Granted, it's judging a near two minute trailer to a full season, so I'll reserve final judgment until the show officially begins. Kudos to the second season too.

[Wildcat]

Looks good. Thought the nephews voices would stay cute but I guess they're supposed to be a bit older.

I'm still surprised they have not given a release date. Have they? I haven't seen one. Like what's the big deal? We know it's this year. Just give a date.

[Anarchistguy]

I just discovered that the "tougher than the toughies" line is straight from the comics!

Consider me pumped!

He says it in the first episode of the original cartoon as well. Or at least one of the first.

(Finally found this thread!)

I am a huge fan of the comics so I am really excited they are throwing in a bunch of references to Carl Barks and Don Rosa's stories!

[ZariusTwo]

First look at Gizmoduck

[Utrommaniac]

That's an...interesting choice in voice.

[NinjaPug]

Interesting update to the character. I like it. Love that they updated the logo to a G after keeping the R logo despite the change in name from Roboduck in the original. Also interesting that Gyro is referred to as a "mad scientist" now.

I know Miranda is a fan of the old Disney Afternoon shows so it's cool to see him get cast.

Wish they'd go ahead and announce a premiere date.

[TigerClaw]

Nice to see Gizmoduck back.

Very interested in seen Miranda play someone that isn't Hamilton.
And can I also say how I kind of love that Fenton is a brown duck?

[Raph's Girl]

He's also now Latino and his surname has even changed to Crackshell-Cabrera. He was named after the latino golfer Angel Cabrera who's nickname just happens to be El Pato (The Duck). :D.

[TurtleWA]

Nice to see Gizmoduck back.

Has the opening theme song been released? Please tell me it is not a rap remix of the original done by this dude?

[Wildcat]

Oh Gizmo Duck looks cool. Not much difference except a bit bigger.

I really hope this gets a good toy line.

[saintsaucey]

We would be lucky if that was the case.

I don't like that he doesn't have a tv/computer in his chest but considering the invention of smart phones and such it makes sense

[plastroncafe]

I get the feeling there'll be some sort of projected holographic interface, rather than a screen.

A look at some of the locations in Duckburg

[AT-Man]

The money bin being on an island is pretty neat.

[ProphetofGanja]

I hope the writing for this show is good; I've liked all the updated design work so far

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Thought this was worth mentioning,

Hope you guys support it, The Don Rosa Scrooge stories were the best, and many ended up being incorporated in to the original Ducktales tv show.

Honored, Thankful, & Excited to voice The Beagle Boys.. all 28 of them!! @DuckTales @DisneyXD #PuppyLove

[plastroncafe]

Okay, this voice cast makes me really excited!

Jim Rash!
Paul F. Tompkins!
Allison Janey!
Margo Martindale!

[snake]

This looks great. :lol:

I love that they're using Scrooge's old rival. I hope they don't skimp out on the supernatural stuff this time. Those were always my favorite episodes.

[TurtleWA]

Mark Beaks sounds like he could be a fun character. :)

[NinjaPug]

First short released with more coming - Donald, Scrooge, and Huey shorts will be released tomorrow. Webby, Launchpad and Mrs. Beakley shorts will be released on June 16.

[plastroncafe]

I love the animation and the shorts and the voices....but gah! I haven't gotten used to the changes yet!

[Vegita-San]

first one is funny, but not sure how i feel about it for ducktales.


Scrooge sounds like a sped up craig ferguson

[Autbot_Benz]

David Tennant was perfect casting for Scrooge Mcduck. I can't wait for this.

[Coola Yagami]

The shorts are ok, i just hope they have actual adventures and its not all just slice of life comedy.

[TigerClaw]

Here's the Short for Donald

aAm8aw_7RXM

[drgon78]

So far I find it to be "meh". I have a feeling this series will just be a soulless comedy devoid of story, character development, and real action. They might as well have had this on cartoon network.

[Shark_Blade]

So it's just a "Ducktales Go!" apparently.

[ssjup81]

It'll take getting used of, but Tennant as Scrooge isn't so bad. I still hate the fact that I keep subconsciously comparing him to Alan Young, though.

As for the nephews, I'm really hating the voices. They don't suit them, imo. They sound too old.

[Utrommaniac]

Ha, someone on tumblr anonymously sent me a message about how "nobody cares" that I don't like the voices...but I didn't let them have the time of day and deleted the message. Kind of wish I didn't and taken a screenshot it as a trophy. First time I'd gotten anon hate.

But seriously, the adults playing the nephews are so grating that it's killed my interest in the show. I could even try to tolerate David Tennant as Scrooge, barely, but I can't tolerate the voices of the nephews.

It makes me think of that bit in Nostalgia Critic's Lorax review where he dubbed over a scene of the Iron Giant as Hogarth, to show how dumb it is to cast a deep-voiced adult as a young child.

[Coola Yagami]

I'm hoping they're just shorts to get used to the characters.... please...?

[Wildcat]

I'm sure they're just one off shorts or snippets of actual episodes.

I don't mind the nephew's voices. They're obviously meant to be a bit older, maybe teens. We're all just used to the cute duck voices.

[ssjup81]

I'm sure they're just one off shorts or snippets of actual episodes.

[Wildcat]

Kind of small for teens.Well being a lighthearted cartoon I don't think it's a big deal if thier height doesn't match a real teenager.

A lot of cartoon characters don't really match thier real life age group in appearance because they're designed to look cute or stylized in someway.

Dipper and Mabel look younger than they are in Gravity Falls. To me anyway.

[drgon78]

I agree Utrommaniac, I can't stand the kids voices as well.

[NinjaPug]

I'm hoping they're just shorts to get used to the characters.... please...?

That's exactly what they are.

The mystery of Disney XD’s new DuckTales premiere date is a mystery no more! Thanks to some real life ducks this morning, we’ve learned that on Saturday, August 12 at midnight, DuckTales will be presented as a one-hour television movie for 24 consecutive hours on Disney XD. That’s a lot of hours to watch and rewatch what we can already tell is going to be an amazing new duck tale. Woo-hoo! is the title of the movie, and “Woo-hoo!” is how we feel about this news!

The DuckTales series will then commence with two new episodes on Saturday, September 23, which also happens to be the 30th anniversary of the original, Emmy Award-winning series. What a glorious moment in time this will be! Episodes will air at 7:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m., and 10:30 p.m., EDT/PDT, so mark your calendars!
Featuring a distinct animation style inspired by the classic Carl Barks’ comic designs, DuckTales chronicles the high-flying adventures of Duckburg’s most famous trillionaire Scrooge McDuck, his mischief-making triplet grandnephews – Huey, Dewey and Louie, temperamental nephew Donald Duck and the trusted McDuck Manor team: big-hearted, fearless chauffer/pilot Launchpad McQuack, no-nonsense housekeeper Mrs. Beakley and Mrs. Beakley’s granddaughter, Webby Vanderquack, resident adventurer and the triplet’s newfound fierce friend.

The story unfolds as Donald Duck reluctantly takes Huey, Dewey and Louie to the home of their reclusive great-uncle Scrooge McDuck. Enthralled by their once-legendary great-uncle and the wonder of McDuck Manor, the triplets and Webby learn of long-kept family secrets and unleash totems from Scrooge’s epic past, sending the family on an adventure of a lifetime to the Lost City of Atlantis.

[Wildcat]

Very nice intro. Glad they used the same song. I thought it'd be a remix or some variation.

[TurtleTitan97]

I can dig it.

[saintsaucey]

Any clue who sings it. Thought it was Demi but I'm not so sure.

[AT-Man]

Ho-lee crap, I think I might love Bentina Beakley's new look.
