vofflia My god do I love thise reboot. Does it stay true to the original? Well, yes and no. It does to some extent, but it also adds in elemets from the original Carl Bark's comic, which I was really missing from the original series - especially Donald! The reboot makes a lot of changes to the characters, and sure, normally this might be annoying, but in this case I feel like those changes were needed. I feel like the characters have more to them. The triplets aren't just - well - triplets. They each have their own personalities, which really makes it feel more real. Webby is no longer the token girl. She's creative, strong, smart, tough and overall awesome. Don't even get me started on Scrooge McDuck and Donald. They clearly have some history, as do a lot of the characters.There are ACTUAL mysteries that just makes you hooked. Where is Donald's sister? What happaned to her? What's up with Lena and Magica de Spell? There are actual questions and mysteries that makes you want to keep up. Not to mention more focus on the adventures. In the original show they went on adventures too, sure, but it never had any heavy focus. This time around Scrooge McDuck is a legend. It's what makes the show so great.Not to mention a recent episode with Goldie. The dynamic between Goldie and Scrooge is just wonderful. Earlier she's shown as an elderly woman who loves gold and riches. That's it. Now, she's an adventurer like Scrooge. They have a thing going but at the same time they're rivals. The story goes much deeper and I feel like the characters are more three-dimensional characters. Webby isn't just a girl, she has survival skills and is quite isolated due to her overprotective grandmother (who's awesome in her own way). Scrooge and Donald have a strained relationship. The triplets have their own personalities and there's a whole mystery to be solved with their mothers.The show takes everything you love about the original and makes it even better. THAT'S what a reboot SHOULD be. Great writing, amazing characters and recogniseable plot and characters - but with a fresh breath of air!

meandmyself-51106 While a good reboot stays true to the source material, DuckTales' makes changes to what didn't work and manages to successfully improve on the already great 80's show, making it dare I say better than the original serie.What worked in the 80's DuckTales is kept practically unchanged, notably Launchpad McQuack being completely untouched, and what didn't - and only what didn't - is improved upon, like Webby going from generally annoying to enjoyable.The pace has been hastened a little, which is actually a welcomed change from the old show that was honestly really slow, too slow at times, to one that's more dense while still taking its time.Of course it's not perfect : the computer animation, while cleaner, won't win everybody's hearts. But despite all the skepticism I had after disappointing reboots, DuckTales' is pretty much the best one the serie could've hoped for.

AnthonyChickenson Maybe I'm too old, but this new series is quite literally a parody of the original Ducktales. It has next to nothing to do with the original premises and all characters have been purposely changed to not even resemble the source material. That's the point, you say. Yes, I got that from watching the 8 released episodes.The show is filled with pointless topical pop culture references and most of the voice actors perform all their lines yelling, making the overall plot incohesive and all the characters flat and alike, regardless of the star-studded voice cast. There's very little in ways of morals which the original show contained, so I'd call the storytelling irresponsible (as it's just face-value drivel) and generic at best.All that said, OK, I wasn't expecting a continuation of the original show. I realize we live in modern times when people no longer tell stories that have a sense of adventure and traditional storytelling because everything must make something modern and completely irrelevant to the material a butt of jokes, most recently mocking Mark Zuckerberg in a very mean-spirited way (not a huge fan of Mark either but c'mon...).The character design isn't horrible, I like what they've done with some of the characters- Webby is an oddball but a pretty convincing female and Mrs Beakley is some sort of secret-agent-like character. I guess I appreciate the appearance of terra-firmians, which was one of my less favorite of the classic episodes. I have no idea why they made Gyro Gearloose completely full of himself. The smartest, most talented people I know are not only humble, but self deprecating, just like the original Gyro. Huey, Dewey and Louie now have...well, not exactly distinguishable personalities, except they're all jerks surrounded by actually sort-of interesting disposable side characters. Scrooge partners with Glumgold? Is nothing sacred?When they released the initial art of the titular characters in a Jeep driving through a Serengeti, I didn't expect entire episodes dedicated to social networks. The art spoke the same language the original series did, so these past 8 episodes are an unwelcome surprise to say the least. My point is that with all the decisions they made to change everything from what it used to be to what they changed it to, the show does absolutely nothing to stand out among the rest of the same shows full of yelling and topical references, denoting that the writers actually don't have anything of value to say other than ventilating their opinions on various modern issues. It's actually quite boring. I don't know about you, but I watched Ducktales as a kid because it was nothing like my life. This Ducktales is like everything you see walking down a street or channel surfing. By comparison, ANY of the first two original Ducktales' season's (before it turned to mush) is a better choice to watch. Or better yet, read some Don Rosa or Carl Barks instead.I'm quite convinced this show won't stand the test of time...who will want to watch this twenty years from now? I'm not sure I want to watch more than the 8 episodes, but I loved Ducktales, and at least SOME of the episodes aren't complete garbage and manage to present their voice in a new and surprising way, thus barely making it worth watching (while doing everything to betray the source material).Bottom line is, if you throw away everything that made Ducktales what it was, what are you left with? Not Ducktales, that's what.

pachomar84 As a fan of the original series (yes, I'm 33) I gotta say this is an awesome reboot. The characters are well revamped for 30 years later. There's the original opening (one of my favorites ever) All characters are there (some of them appearing episode by episode) and the inclusion of Donald makes it more fun I'm not ashamed to say this i one of the best animated reboot done, and I gladly watch which which some laughter from nostalgia Definitely recommended for old fans and new fans!
