    DuckTales 2017 is here after a ton of hype, does it live up to it? Yes.. And no.

    The art is a fresh combination of both the classic series and the well beloved comic series. Some of the character design, such as the character's blocky heads are questionable. As well as some complete re-designs of other characters. Many of the characters stayed true to their originals, meanwhile    DuckTales 2017 is here after a ton of hype, does it live up to it? Yes..

    The art is a fresh combination of both the classic series and the well beloved comic series. Some of the character design, such as the character's blocky heads are questionable. As well as some complete re-designs of other characters.

    Many of the characters stayed true to their originals, meanwhile others are completely off base. It's really odd that they decided to change some of the core characters so much. The three newphews, Huey, Duey and Luey are almost complete polar oppsites of their original selves.

    While the first double episode hinted at a more episodic serial version of the franchise (hearlding back to the classic comics), more of the new episodes are simply one offs that simply feel off. I feel as if a more story driven plot for the cartoon would have been better suited for the return of DuckTales.

    At the end of the day, it's a nice treat to see a classic cartoon reborn, but some of the decisions and changes made to the franchise are seriously questionable. One can only hope that DuckTales 2017 manages to find solid footing (and writing) as it continues to air on TV.    … Expand

    The new DuckTales is better than the original show. Funnier, more ambitious. ... Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz, and Bobby Moynihan were well-cast as the trio, giving the boys a jocky fraternal chemistry. ... Meanwhile, David Tennant is doing longtime Scrooge-voice Alan Young proud.

    The new generation of kids who will be introduced to Duckburg through this series may not have the history to appreciate the way these characters have become far more vibrant and relevant, but that isn’t necessary. DuckTales is brisk and playful romp from start to finish with plenty of cheeky details.
