Thomas the Tank Engine Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Everything old is new again, including DuckTales! Disney is bringing back the beloved cartoon starring Scoorge McDuck and his grandnephews Huey, Dewey and Louie, and Donald Duck with a new series as part of Disney XD. "DuckTales has a special place in Disney's TV animation history, it drew its inspiration from Disney Legend Carl Barks' comic books and through its storytelling and artistic showmanship, set an enduring standard for animated entertainment that connects with both kids and adults," Marc Buhaj, senior vice president of programming and the general manager of Disney XD, said in a statement. "Our new series will bring that same energy and adventurous spirit to a new generation." Other beloved DuckTales characters returning to the fold for new adventures include Duckworth, Gyro Gearloose, Launchpad McQuak, Flinheart Glomgold, Magica DeSpell & Poe, Ma Beagle and the Beagle Boys, Mrs. Beakely and Webbigail Vanderquack. Enough duck puns for you? You can refresh your memory with the original series on WATCH Disney Channel app. The original DuckTales ran from 1987-1990 and lasted 100 episodes. The new DuckTales will launch in 2017. http://ca.eonline.com/news/629320/ducktales-is-coming-back-yes-ducktales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 No, god no, no! Actually, I've lamented for a while now that kids these days missed out on some great cartoons of that age...but they could just re-show them instead of trying to give them "new adventures" cos we all know they'll be a ###### poor shadow of the original. race cars, lasers, aeroplanes yo psmoked 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 No, thank you. I loved watching them during my childhood, but the return will still be targeted at kids and I'm all grown up (well, mostly). If it's not 3D, old style comics-like and in HD, I would probably watch though if the script stays true to old style narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS Bob 11 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I wonder if Scrooge has now retired and is doing philanthropy with someone else running the show for him. And Flintheart Glomgold died of cancer but leaves behind a great legacy and the biggest fruit company in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamsebjørn Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 DuckTales is set in the past, there shouldn't be any 'future' technology like iPhones etc. Hate to break it, but Scrooge died in 1967: I love DuckTales, I'm keeping an open mind, going to watch it before I judge it. If it sucks, I've still got the original series to watch with my son when he's old enough. (3-5 years old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyarecomingforyou Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I wonder if Scrooge has now retired and is doing philanthropy with someone else running the show for him. More likely he's formed an elite cabal with the Koch brothers to undermine the rights and opportunities of the poor. deadonthefloor 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cartoon targeted to kids; I doubt they'll care if "the script stays true to old style narrative". I sure as hell didn't when I was watching DuckTales.

theyarecomingforyou Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Apparently my humour is too dry for some people. We're talking about an anthropomorphic cartoon duck that swims in gold coins. Yes it's slightly critical of capitalism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure as hell didn't when I was watching DuckTales. They won't and I didn't either. But, having watched them as a kid, I don't want them done in the style of the 21st century with the duck brothers talking about selfies and all that drivel.
