I was 8 when Ducktales first came out. It really changed my opinion of what a cartoon can be. I watch reruns of it every now and then, it’s still interesting for a cartoon…
Well the Teaser came out:

And a cast reveal:
Kate Micucci!? She's my fantasy girl. I love **Gafunkel And Oats**!! Appropriate for the thread.The cast reveal singing the original theme song was funny. Has that guy voicing Scrooge McDuck done anything else? 
I think he’s played a doctor on TV. Who? I don’t know.
Will they “quack” their voices, or will they use their normal voice?
I harbor an unfortunate and irrational hatred of DuckTales due to the fact that it was on when I was just a little too old for it, but I had to go to a babysitter after school who forced me to watch it with the younger kids constantly. I’d try to tune it out so I could do homework or read, but that damn theme song and those manic voices were just too much. It was impossible to ignore. And it seemed like it was always on.
That said, I can appreciate the genius of the source material and the quality of the work that went into adapting it. It looks like this version will be done well, too. And it’s hard NOT to geek out over anything with David Tennant and Kate Micucci!
But I still get twitchy when I hear that music.
Well done, my friend.
I never really cared for DuckTales, but if they bring back Darkwing Duck, I’ll watch every episode.
I meant to make the last thread I linked this:
Great idea…but I don’t care for the art. The standard version – or the Topolino version – is (IMO) much better.
(I very much prefer the Topolino style.)
(I remember the Barks/Rosa wars!)
Is this a TV show, or a movie?
TV Show.
'member the Moon Theme in the DuckTales game???
I’d probably get a duckboner if they did a series of episodes based on “The Golden Fleecing”, a Scrooge comic that I loved as a kid. (No points if they don’t mention parsnips or looking up how to put a sleepless dragon to sleep in the Junior Woodchuck Guide, though.)
I’m usually a traditionalist on this kind of stuff, but I really like the new art style. It’s full of character and dynamism.
Why does the old show not stream? Or does it?
I’m kinda “meh” on the art.
If they could get Ron Jones back to score the episodes, I’d be sold!
Thrilled with the cast. And Duck Tales was my second-favorite ‘Disney afternoon’ show. (After Darkwing.) I just hope they can keep David Tennant signed for a long run as Scrooge, his native accent is basically perfect.
The other day we were searching online for cartoons we watched as kids! Can they remake Rescue Rangers or Tail Spin too?
So are they remaking the old episodes, making new ones?
I loved the old duck tales. The sense of adventure and intrigue had my imagination working over time when I was a kid. Ditto for Tail Spin (which I recently downloaded to see if it was appropriate for my 3 YO - probably not yet).
In addition to this, this style is ideal for a number of reasons like being easier for audiences to “read”; digital age techniques like “tweening” aren’t nearly as noticeable or at least not as jarring; and above all being quicker, cheaper and easier to animate, more effort can go into actual action. I guarantee everyone that this run will have a lot more action scenes than the '80s version, and noticeably so.
There has been talk about a Rescue Rangers movie, but I’m not sure how definite that is.
With that live action Jungle Book movie out now, they should take those characters and make a live action Tale Spin.

And a cast reveal:
[/QUOTE]This just officially made my Christmas.
A couple of years ago I picked up the whole Darkwing Duck series for like $15 at Costco. “When there’s trouble you call DW…Lets get dangerous.”
They really need to make movies of all of the old mid-‘80s’ to mid '90s cartoons. Like the Gummi Bears, bouncing here and there and everywhere.
I totally want to make a live-action Gummi Bears. I even started writing a screenplay.
