Disney XD is revisiting Ducktales. The network said today that it has ordered a new animated comedy series based on the Emmy-winning series that aired from 1987-1990 as part of The Disney Afternoon daily syndicated cartoon block. The new series is slated to launch in 2017. Produced by Disney Television Animation, Ducktales will again star Disney’s iconic characters Scrooge McDuck, his grandnephews Huey, Dewey and Louie, and Donald Duck.

The new series will follow Scrooge McDuck, his curious and mischief-making grandnephews — Huey, Dewey and Louie — and the optimistic yet temperamental Donald Duck as they embark on high-flying adventures worldwide. Other beloved characters slated to be in the new stories are: Duckworth, Gyro Gearloose, Launchpad McQuack, Flintheart Glomgold, Magica DeSpell & Poe, Ma Beagle and the Beagle Boys (Burger Beagle, Bouncer Beagle), Mrs. Beakley and Webbigail Vanderquack.

So now to see if they’ll continue to solve mysteries, or if they’ll end up rewriting history.

Thank you, d3v. Now the theme song is stuck in my head.

Make your bets, people. How long will Disney keep this up?

Someone tell Disney while they are at it could we have more episodes of Gargoyles or Gummi bears lol

After Ultimate Spider-Man and Teen Titans GO(to Hell), I don’t trust them to not fuck this up.

No… Do NOT WANT.

@po
How is disney related to Teen Titans GO?

Also they make Phineas & Ferb which is the GOAT so there is still hope.

Disney XD has been doing better with their original animation than CN and Nick. Phineas & Ferb and Gravity Falls ain’t my thing but they are not terrible shows.

After playing the remix Dicktales game and how great it is, I wonder if there might be enough interest to make a sequel. I hope so, because Ducktales is awesome!

One of the best theme songs in cartoon history

rukawa_kaede · February 26, 2015, 12:10am

maxx · February 26, 2015, 12:15am

Hecatom · February 26, 2015, 12:17am

Holy fuck, how did i forget about Gravity Falls?

I grew up with ducktales, one of my favorite cartoons ever. There was talespin, rescue rangers also. However ducktales was easily the best (and one of the most memorable opening songs all time).

It is based on the many uncle scrooge comics, so they have a ton of great material to draw from.

The theme song has been playing in my head since this morning T_T

Life is like a hurricane…

chadouken · February 26, 2015, 1:10am

Aww, fuck. Big thumbs on small phone keypad. That’s fucking hilarious though.

This would be a good idea if they aired it on their regular Disney Channel. DXD is one of those premium channels you get by paying for an $80 channel package.

I would not be surprised if the premier’s ratings were low, which then influences Disney to axe the project… Planned obsolescence at it’s worst.

so how will the space theme fit into this reboot?
