“Ducktails”: Disney XD Orders NEW Series!!

“LIFE IS LIKE A HURRICANE!” if you know what comes after these lyrics, chances are you had a pretty awesome childhood spent watching Disney cartoons like Ducktails.  I still think the feature film is adorable, and that recent recreation of the opening titles with REAL ducklings is amazing.

Great news if you have been missing our favorite webbed footed triplets, Disney XD has ordered an all new animated series set to air in 2017!  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.

“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.”
