UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
rafifauzi-00582 I never watch the original ducktales series but this new one is sure to become a fan favorite of my generation
obsi_wan As a fan of the original DuckTales show I have to start with the statement, that I didn't expect too much from this reboot, but the show definitely exceeded my expectations. One thing that really annoyed me in the beginning were the long time gaps between the released episodes, but I hope that is a thing of the past and didn't influence ratings too much. As far as the animation is concerned maybe the quality of it is high?, but the style is something you really need to get used too, because for me it feels a bit oversimplified. The same thing you could say for some of the visual character designs. For example Huey, Dewey and Louie, who practically looked the same in the original show, and completely differnet in the 90's Quack Pack Show are now somewhere in middle, which is good, but it doesn't realy stick because the simplified animation style still makes it hard to distinguish them from each otther. On the other hand the personalities of them, and of most other characters are very fitting, and compared to the original show there is even a good character development for some of the ducks. About the plot I have say that there are strong and weak episodes but most of episodes are very entertaining. The mix of family, adventure and humor works good most of the time. Some of the pop culture jokes are of course better than others, therefore I think it was definitely a good decision to include Donald in the show because he adds the slapstick factor into the mix. When talking about the voices of the Ducks I think it was also a good decision to only give Donald his duckish voice, (and not the kids too) because it sets him appart. David Tennant does a great job as Scrooge and Keith Ferguson as Flintheart Glomgold is hilarious. Overall I would say it's a good show, that doesn't only work for kids because it has some character and plot development and a nice humor, but I'm not really sure if it's fits in the modern animation landscape, because the style and the themes feel very "retro".
amberlb I'm a HUGE fan of the Disney version of DuckTales. Never liked the Carl Barks comics. In all fairness, Disney is sometimes TOO HAPPY. So, adding an actual little darkness has got me hooked. I like that this version has the balance of light and dark.The Disney version was in some ways, a little too light for me at times.The darker tone along with the lightness makes you want to re-watch.I love the relationship of Huey, Dewey, and Louie and Webby better here. I love that the boys are helping Webby instead of pushing her away and then slowly getting used to her. Overall, I think it'll grow on me.I do like the fact that Scrooge has a bit of a dark side maybe on this one.I will continue to watch.
Eric Stevenson Looking at the kid's cartoon of the 1980's, I believe that this website lists "DuckTales" as having the highest score of any cartoon of the entire decade and looking back, I certainly agree. I remember owning VHS tapes of the original show when I was really little. I recall seeing the new intro for the show which fortunately kept the same theme song which is among the catchiest of all time. The animation style is all brand new but it's still authentic to the original series. Having seen just the first two episodes, I'm blown away at how amazing they are. Thank you, Disney XD for another great show! If "Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil" was the next "Gravity Falls", is this the next "Star Vs."? This may in fact be even better than the original. In the original, the character Webigail wasn't really that interesting. She wasn't bad, she was more like a stereotypical little girl. This version, on the other hand is way smarter and is an action girl all the way! Thank you for improving this character! We even get more screen time with Donald Duck which was oddly lacking from the original show a lot. We even get some new villains or henchman of Flintheart Glomgold.My only complaint is that Huey, Dewey, and Louie's voices are a bit too mature. We even get shout outs to locations in other Disney cartoons from around the same time period. A new universe they're creating, perhaps? I just love all the constant movements and action. They're not doing that much to make the show relevant again by changing any personalities and it's working perfectly! Everyone is in character or better than they were before and I see the beginning of an awesome show! ****
