It's been a long time coming on this one, and I have to wonder if this will usher in some of other classics being brought back as well. Would be pretty awesome to see a new fire under TailSpin as well.
That said, there's not a ton of details about the new show, but we do know that will be airing exclusively on Disney's DisneyXD channel when it does come to be.
So far, it sounds like the show will be close to the original as well with Marc Buhaj, Disney XD's Senior Vice President, Programming and General Manager, saying this about it during the announcement;
“DuckTales has a special place in Disney’s TV animation history, it drew its inspiration from Disney Legend Carl Barks’ comic books and through its storytelling and artistic showmanship, set an enduring standard for animated entertainment that connects with both kids and adults. Our new series will bring that same energy and adventurous spirit to a new generation.”The new series will follow Scrooge McDuck, his curious and mischief-making grandnephews; Huey, Dewey and Louie, and the optimistic yet temperamental Donald Duck as they embark on high-flying adventures worldwide. Other beloved characters slated to be in the new stories are: Duckworth, Gyro Gearloose, Launchpad McQuack, Flintheart Glomgold, Magica DeSpell & Poe, Ma Beagle and the Beagle Boys (Burger Beagle, Bouncer Beagle), Mrs. Beakley and Webbigail Vanderquack.
Definitely looking forward to this one and to seeing just how much like the original they keep things. Oh, as an added bonus, it looks like Disney has also put up the entire run on their Watch Disney Channel site as well!
