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.

“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,” said Marc Buhaj, SVP, Programming and General Manager, Disney XD.

“Our new series will bring that same energy and adventurous spirit to a new generation.”

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.

Yay!!!! They should bring back Darkwing Duck too. On second thought, they should revive the Disney Afternoon.

Spark Of Spirit · 02-25-2015, 07:56 PM

Excellent news. Hopefully this means they'll finish releasing the original series on DVD now.

This has potential to be epic if thy do it right and don't use that awful new computer 3D animation. They should use traditional 2D animation.

I'd also like to see a revival of "Gummi Bears"!

Donald is in it...that's good!

I hope I can get this DuckTales on Netflix or Hulu!

Most of Disney's animated shows are still 2D. I expect this one will be, too.

2D or 3D, I'd like to see these adventures of Scrooge and Donald!

My mistake. For some reason, I read "3D" as "CGI."

But I agree with you. No way will it be hand drawn like in the 1980s, but 2D CGI could happen.

I would also nominate Daryl Hammond as the voice of Scrooge McDuck for the 2017 reboot...Alan Young may be dead when the show begins. That and Hammond has a good Scottish Accent with his Sean Connery impersonation...

Disney has unveiled the first art for the new "DuckTales" series.

Huey, Dewey, Louie, Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck, and what appears to be Webby Vanderquack are back in action, apparently outrunning spear-throwing pursuers in their latest adventure.

No exact release date has been set, but "DuckTales" is expected to arrive on Disney XD in 2017.

Funny you mention that.

Disney still wants Don Rickles (who will be 90) to do the voice of Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 4 (set to be released in 2018), and he's fully on board with it.
