DUCKTALES IS BEING REBOOTED IN 2017!!!!

No. Seriously. THIS IS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!! o_0

I’m torn between being THRILLED that a new generation will grow up with Ducktales and TERRIFIED that this new show will be a badly written CGI atrocity.

IMO, Disney would be smart to just use the old theme song as is. That thing is the most notorious earworm EVER and (it’ll stand out among modern cartoons that don’t use epic theme songs anymore).

Also, sad to say, they’ll likely use new VAs for Scrooge and Magica (since Alan Young and June Foray are over 90 years old now). And I’m betting on Greg Ferguson being Young’s replacement (mainly because his Scottish accent is authentic). And I’m betting on Tress MacNeille being the new Magica.

The latter. Or maybe it'll be as good as MLP flash?

Mainly because there is so little in the way of concrete details. I know Sean Bishop is supervising this; who has worked on DTVA shows in the past as early as The Mighty Ducks, although Mighty Ducks is hardly what I consider quality. Apparently; Donald will have a bigger role in this one.

Ducktales was probably approved because it got great sales from Ducktales: Remastered; but the problem with that is: Most gamers for the NES and the remaster are not really fans of Ducktales per se; but fans of licensed games that actually were good enough to play again and again.

If they wanted to reboot a show...and I know this will get you angry Brendala; but if I were in charge and saw the sales of the Kaboom comics and Ducktales Remastered; I would reboot TaleSpin. Because that is the only other show that people like as a show and Disney hasn't screwed it up like they did with Ducktales (THIRD ISSUE~!), Darkwing Duck (to a much lesser extent), Rescue Rangers and Gargoyles (which got a kick in the can earlier and blew it). Outside of TaleSpin and maybe Gummi Bears; these are the only two productions they haven't "ruined" yet so to speak.

Again; until I have a detailed plan of where Disney (more to the point Sean Bishop) wants to go with Ducktales, I'm going to punt my opinion on the matter out of bounds.
