I just seen it (hurray for you-tube) and I must say this looks like some odd link betwen "DuckTales" and "Quack Pack". Heck! Even the plot is similiar to the episode "All ducks on deck" (ironic..) where Donald lies to HD&L about being a great hero while in fact he is a failure... (here they replace the boys with Daisy) Plus we actually get a flashback showing him leaving the navy.
I guess since this is in fact "episode five" they wanted to make - even a symbolic - connection with "DuckTales" so kids woudn't get confuse why Donald isn't still in the navy or something.
I find the admiral character is especialy strange.. at one hand it appears they try to make it clear he is ment to be the same character (he play with a model ship, he is constant victim of Donald destructive behavior plus the fact his a dog-face character rather then human like the rest of the cast) but at the same time he is way diffrent - he appears to be younger, more agresive, more of a bully (If not a insane and sadistic one) and way less sympathethic... But I guess you can argue that years and years of puting up with Donald antics made him a complitly diffrent person... Sadly in his case he turn from a ok guy into a villian
I still think its a shame they didn't try to have Scrooge or Gladstone guest star for a episode in "Quack Pack" since it was still set in Duckburg... Oh, well...

Yeah It is a pity that neither Scrooge or Gladstone appeared on Quack Pack. It would been cool to see Gyro on the show too. Maybe even The Beagle Boys or Magica De Spell or even Flintheart Glomgold. Maybe this is why I think the show Duckburg USA should be created. That show takes place roughly between Duck Tales and Quack Pack.

There were plans for such show? o_O
I always hoped if they will ever try to make another Duckburg-set show it would include characters like Brigida, Rockerduck or Fethry...

A Beagle Boy made once a cameo in "Quack Pack" episode, as a statue Donald use to train gourd dogs.

Actually, that was the initial vision for Quack Pack (Donald returning from the navy and reclaiming care of the boys from Scrooge) until some Disney executives thought it made more sense to create a Donald Duck series based on the Donald Duck shorts rather than DuckTales or the Barks universe. Ergo, the human characters and Ludwig but no Scrooge, Gyro or Gladstone. As mentioned, "All Hands on Duck" (and I guess that Beagle Boy cameo) are the execeptions to that rule.

Too bad. Sounds like a good idea... :(

I'm still puzzled (and disappointed) that Barks characters aren't use in animation more often which is a shame since shows like "Quack Pack", "Mickey Mouse Works" or even toddler-orienred "Mickey Mouse clubhouse" could only benefit from having those chracters around and ignoring them feels like a big step back.
Scrooge is by far the only character who is used from time to time (but even then we didn't seen him since the directed to DVD CGI movie "Mickey Twice upon Christmas" in 2005) and the city where Donald lives is still refrence as Duckburg... but Gyro, Magica or Gladstone waren't used since "DuckTales" [I'm not couting Magicas and Glomolds cameo in episode of "Darkwing Duck" and Gladstones in "House of Mouse"] Beagle Boys where only agian used in "The three Musketeers" [plus agian some cameos on "Bonkers", "Darkwing Duck" and examople above] and we never even got a animated version of characters like neighbor Jones not to mention some non-Barks characters many fans would love to see like Fethry or Brigida...
Seeing how many cartoons they manage to make with having only Donald, Daisy and the nephews around I'm pretty sure they could make as many whith those other characters as well...
BTW -> For years I was 100% sure VonDrake appear on "Quack Pack" ocasionally but I recently discoverd he was only in the first episode and then refrence in another one which is another shame as well...

Oh Yeah but that's the only time A Beagle Boy was used on that show. It was 2004 when Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas was released.

Quack Pack was long after Disney's television animation revolution peak. Frankly, there was a noticeable decline after Talespin, another a very big drop after Goof Troop and towards the end they were just so far behind the efforts of Warner Brothers animation of the same time period.
