Did you people see the same film I saw?

A different way of telling a story

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

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".

I love ducktales woo ooh its like soooooo0o goood and i would highly recomend that anyone in the immediatel;y facility should check it out, ten foold

This is how you do a reboot properly, and I couldn't be happier with what I'm seeing. First off, let me just say that I HAVE watched the original series. I'm 26; I grew up watching the original series. I've seen all 100 episodes. I watched the movie (several times). Nobody knows the series better than I do (at least the animated series; I sadly could never get comics). So, don't think I don't know what I'm talking about when I do. The reboot is BETTER than the original. There, I said it. The problem with reboots like Teen Titans Go and Powerpuff Girls is that there's no heart behind it. It's all just for money. Teen Titans Go is a complete mockery of the source material, and even if it's "just for kids" and "isn't supposed to be serious", that's not a damn excuse. They flat-out make episodes to MOCK and ATTACK those who hate the show. The producers literally laugh in your face if you don't like it. The show is despicable and a complete travesty. For Powerpuff Girls, it doesn't have the heart, the passion, or the understanding of what made the original so great. It's just boring, stupid, and WAY too modern. Don't get me wrong; the new DuckTales is quite a bit modern, too. But there's a right way to mix modern and retro and a wrong a way. Powerpuff Girls did it the wrong way, and it's a shame. DuckTales (2017) has everything I could ask for. At first...yes, the animation bothered me. And the voices kinda bugged me, too. But I felt the same way with Gravity Falls, but ultimately I got used to it. I really can't say ANYTHING negative about the original, since it really was fantastic for what it was. I just feel like the reboot does everything even BETTER. The animation, while a little odd, really works for what they're going for. It really does make me feel like I'm watching an animated comic book or graphic novel, and the fast-pace animation with its quick wit and humor sells it for me. I get that the heads on the characters look "too square", and the animation can look "cheap", but it's designed to be that way for a reason. It works. DuckTales isn't supposed to be Avatar (the movie), it's just supposed to be a good, quality show for all ages. As for the voices...I'm sorry, but I'm GLAD the nephews actually sound like humans. It helps give them more personality than just...all being miniature versions of Donald. Again, I can't HATE on the original for doing that; it was just fine! All I'm saying is I love the voices. Scrooge sounds just the same as he did in the original; I don't see why people say he sounds different. He really doesn't. The characters themselves...feel a lot more fleshed out. I know we're just four episodes in (technically five), but I'm loving what they're going for here. Scrooge feels a LOT more fun than he did in the original. I actually can tell Huey, Louie and Dewey APART now! It's a miracle! Huey is the smart/OCD one who is kinda the most boring (for now), Louie is the troublemaker and lazy one, and Dewey is pretty much the secondary main character behind Scrooge with his love for adventure and mystery. I'm GLAD they have distinguished personalities now. Oh, and if we're talking about better character development...hello, Webby. Seriously, if there was ANYTHING negative about the original, it had to be Webby. Dear lord was she an annoying baby. And, I get that people say she's just a duck version of Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls, but...I disagree. Mabel...is awful (sorry not sorry). She is annoying, girly, boy- crazy, stupid, and popular. I HATE her. Webby is insecure, awkward, aggressive, funny, and eager to actually do things that AREN'T girly. She is amazing, and likely my favorite character in the show right now. But, then again, I love Dewey. I love Scrooge. I love Launchpad. I love Donald (yes, DONALD DUCK is now a main character)! Hell, I even like the new Mrs. Beakley (when I first hated her, because I thought she was kinda nice as a sweet, timid lady in the original). I LOVE these characters. Not only do they honestly amuse me, but I find myself CARING about them. In the original...it was mostly just an adventure show. You rooted for the characters to win over the bad guys and get the treasure in the end. And...that was kinda it. With this reboot, they're really branching out to develop the characters and story around them. That is BRILLIANT! I also find myself laughing a lot at it. Its quick-paced jokes (which are sometimes meta) and wit/humor really work for me. So far, they've only been on one adventure (technically). However, if this means more personal development for the characters, with the same humor involved, I'm all for it. I can take 'normal' episodes just focused on the characters and no actual adventures over just sending them on an adventure for the sake of the series title. Yes, they DO involve a lot of modern stuff (cellphones, modern lingo, video games, etc.), but they don't feel FORCED in. Like, in the Powerpuff Girls reboot, they literally have a segment in an episode of the girls twerking...and that's disgusting. Here, the modern stuff is mostly just to help keep with the times and it feels...natural. There is really nothing bad I have to say about this show so far. I really only watched Gravity Falls because one of my best friends asked me to; I wasn't really interested otherwise. But, with shows like My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop, I willingly watch them on my own and adore them. DuckTales (2017) is a show that I can happily watch on my own and I can't wait to see more!

The only thing that's not worse than the original is the technical quality, like resolution and sound quality. The art style is really bad compared to the original. The original art style is really good and almost screams quality, this new one does not, not even close. It seems like the feminists have been a part of this...just destroying the intro song.
