New DuckTales Cartoon Lives Up to All Your Childhood Dreams

If you were a 90s kid who grew up on the likes of Darkwing Duck and DuckTales, you know that there was nothing quite like those weirdo, wonderful shows. If you’re a sci-fi fan and also one of those 90s kids, you probably freaked out when you heard that David Tennant would be voicing Scrooge McDuck in the upcoming reboot for Disney XD. If you’re a fan of catchy theme songs, you probably loved the cast’s rendition of those signature “Woo-oo”s.

And now the trailer is here.

IT’S SO GOOD.

Aaaaaahhhhh I want to squish it like a stuffed animal, I don’t think I’ll ever stop smiling, my face is broken now. Broken face of smiles.

Really enjoying the animation style, loving the set-up, couldn’t be more pleased with Tennant as Scrooge and also everyone else in the cast. And Launchpad. Oh, Launchpad. I missed that guy.

Do we even need Indiana Jones 5 now? I feel like DuckTales has it covered.

@1, that’s what I said about the announcement! Even if we don’t see DW, I’d love to have some shots of Launchpad reading a Darkwing comic.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the trailer. Great writing, great timing, and nice surprise with making Donald an important character too, more like the Barks comics. Awesome cast. . .though it slightly makes me wonder if this show got started when some Disney TV animators got drunk and started talking through a fanfic about the Doctor, Abed Nadir, Jean-Ralphio, and Shirtless Putin going on a treasure hunt and took it from there.
