DuckTales thread - Ducktits woohoo

[Quijibo69]

I guess it's getting that reboot that about only about 100 people asked for. I quit watching that cartoon ages ago because I out grew it. The new one's animation looks like ass because it's the style at the time.

Here's a clip on Youtube:

Might be decent but who knows. It has people working on it that have worked on pretty good shows in the past but the trailer didn't make it look that great.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Not going to lie, I wasn't enthralled with the trailer. Scrooge and Donald were okay, but I'm not digging either the nephews or the animation.

I dunno, maybe when the episodes start coming I may think differently, but I can't say I'm getting my hopes up.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Not the biggest fan of the animation, but it seems like it'll be okay. Seems like they tried to give the kids more distinct personalities from the original. I liked Launchpad's joke, at least.

I think they're trying to emulate the original comic's look and feel.

lmao that looks terrible

I'm disappointed by the nuDisney style which is getting stale but I'll still give it a go due to David Tennant and Danny Pudi

Why does it look worse than the over 25 year old original?

Why does it look worse than the over 25 year old original?

The designs, probably. The animation itself also looks to be hand-drawn, but looks to be choppier without all the smears and stretching.

Also Webby's more annoying than the 80s series. Something I never thought was possible.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

I liked the old designs but I will still watch it because I'm an adult child.

 

[SpessCaptain]

Might be alright, you know. The style they use is because its more efficient and cheaper and they don't look like they've lost a lot of their classical designs.

It seems like the "personality fix" for girl character in 90's cartoon reboots is always "crazy hyper wackadoo" for some reason.

wow
The voices on the nephews make me want to gouge out my eardrums.

But are they better or worse than when they did it in Quack Pack?

They look blocky and just much less visually appealing.

 

[Muttnik]

The ones in Quack Pack are at least talented voice actors that have been in some iconic cartoons (Rugrats/Powerpuff Girls/King of the Hill/etc).

So yes. They're worse. Way worse.

 

[MysticMisty]

I think the art direction is really weird since they've combined old-timey comic style with contemporary redesigns of the characters. The voices of all four children are rather off-putting since they all sound like adults. Launchpad is okay though, but I'm going to have to say Alan Young definitely portrayed Scrooge a lot better.

This show has extremely big shoes to fill because the original was just that good, and so far it's falling flat. Maybe the writing will be good and largely balance things out, but ultimately I don't think it's going to live up to the original.

 

[TheMightyMonarch]

Eh. I kinda like it. Art kinda looks too Cal Artsy but whatever. Plus they got an actual Scot to voice Scrooge! (No disrespect to Alan Young though) I was kinda put off of the triplets having normal voices instead of sounding like mini Donalds but I think it gives them a personality beyond just being "Donald Duck's nephews."

oy vey

She was in the original cartoon.
