New ducktales looks so good
Loving that aanimation
It looks like those first looney toons episodes that aired on TV on the 30ās
I honestly donāt know what would happen if a baby Jackie Chan was protecting stole a dollar from Scrooge.
New animation is a little disheartening. I miss old school Disney animation, but Iām not gonna hold it against Neo Ducktalesā¦though I have a feeling itās gonna try to be Gravity Falls 2 and not sure how to respond to THAT.
Well some of the crew that worked on Gravity Falls is working on Duck Tales. The show has already been green lit for a second season and weāre getting season long story arcs.

Iām hype.
I mean, Gravity Falls was basically modern Ducktales + Mystery. Hell, it even had a badass elderly money grubber with a heart of gold.
I have high hopes regardless, just hoping it will feel more like Ducktales than GF
This new ducktales gives me a old school comic book style art vibe. I love it.
Just noticed in the trailer thereās a Webby doll with an arrow pinning it to the wall.
I get the feeling the animators did not care for old Webby
Man duck tales and Samurai jackā¦ whats next? can we get a proper dungeons and dragons season(s) with a proper finale/end pls???
Donāt forget Young Justice is coming back too. Good animation still lives!
I preferred the old animation style. Too many cartoons today are animated like the new style.
What the fuck does this even mean?
I meant the original late 80ās style animation and voices were better than this. Too many cartoons today have this similar minimalistic style which I donāt mind on certain cartoons like Samurai Jack but if youāre reebooting something at least make it look similar to the original.
Duck Tales is my favorite cartoon because the animation and story telling
When disney refused more money the creators shelved duck tales because they wanted to keep the quality high
People want cartoons faster and cheaper
Venture brothers has the best and most complex animation when it comes to tv cartoons
Cartoons are notoriously expensive to produce. Even with sending most of the work overseas and cost cutting measures its not enough anymore.
Minimalist art styles isnāt an artistic choice, but a financial one. Being minimalist keeps production quick and cheap.
Wonder why Disney gave up on traditional hand drawn animation? How everything done via some computer software, even flash?
Because you only have to draw characters and objects once except when a scene calls for a new sprite to be made.
The Japanese seem to create well animated cartoons on an almost weekly basis so there really is no excuse. If itās so expensive they should at least ask fans to donate because the demand is there. Iād donate to a Thundercats remake (or movie) that looked and animated like the intro from the original show. Cartoons today should be a lot easier to produce than over 20years ago considering that the entire original Ducktales series was hand drawn.
Nothing is done by hand anymore. Not here, not in Japan.
Actually most animation is done at the same sweat shop overseas anyways.
Even Anime cut corners and Minimalist art styles are often used on minor/background characters
Why animate backgrounds when you can make the whole thing filled with speed lines and blur effects
And its kida hard to see here as there are details, it isnāt as detailed as past anime
The entire scene is composed in CG, with filtering for cellshading on rendered background characters, Note how basic and simplistic each background character is drawn.
The background looked like it came from a PS2 game
Further more the New Duck tales is a weekly kids production on a cable network in the US.
There is not that much proffit made from Kids shows, that with stricter regulations on TV programmings killed Saturday morning cartoons
You could show me a show that looks like garbage (or worse, high art) and as long as it entertains me itās a good show.
Rule #1 of entertainment: If itās not entertaining, it dies
It does look similar to the original, that being the original comic strip. Arts more faithful then the OG cartoons was.
Tangentally related and independant of anyone in this thread: people seriously need to stop saying āThe reboot of X has killed my childhoodā or āThis is not the X I rememberā.
On top of being a super pissy, hyper-sensitive reaction to change, itās giving the new product a bad rap for no real reason. All a remake should be is a new take on an old core concept with itās own spin. If a new Ducktales has Scrooge being miserly but going on adventures with the nephews to find ancient treasure, then congrats the remake has succeeded. If itās about Scrooge discussing his spotted past, how wealth doesnāt make him happy and is a social commentary on capitalism, the remake is awful. A few core changes to the formula are fine (Webby and the Nephews having a personality), since change and evolution of a story keeps it fresh, lets it find new audiences, and allows the universe to grow and change. Changing too much too fast will cause disconnect from the fan base, of whom a remake is for.
But most importantly, and I cannot stress this enough:
JUST BECAUSE THEREāS SOMETHING NEW DOESNāT MEAN THE OLD ONE HAS GONE AWAY
Teen Titans Go and new Powerpuff Girls are trash, but thereās nothing stopping me from enjoying the old Titans/Puffs anytime I want. I donāt remember The Last Airbender completely ruining Avatar: The Last Airbender for me, and each of these is a rather extreme drop off in quality from the predecessor. If these turds arenāt enough to render the entire universeās premise a negative experience, chances are that a Ducktales reboot that shows incredible promise and love (based on a single trailer I might add) isnāt gonna make me forget the game, the movie, the game REMASTER that was also amazing, making the connection at age 10 that Magica Despel and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle are the same person, and the pure joy I get whenever I say the name āFlintheart Glumgoldā
Unless your name is Greg Weisman.
