What I wonder is how they will draw the characters. Looking at Disney's current series, it may well be 2D. But will it be hand drawn? Let's hope they keep the Carl Barks spirit the original series had.

By the way, Disney Junior Eastern Europe airs the old Disney TV Animation series from th 80s since this fall.
Wooooow.

Bit... Will it be a reboot or a sequel? Because they say "reboot", but they talk about Launchpad McQuack, Mrs. Beakley, Poe andò the other characters from the old Ducktales.
I hope there'll be Fenthry Duck.

A DuckTales reboot? Funny how a few weeks ago I unintentionally turned the Uncle Scrooge topic into a topic about which voices should the characters have in animation, which characters should appear in a new series based on comics and which title should it have... and then I hear about a reboot of this old (1987-1990) series! I could have never expected that.
Anyway, we still have no info to tell how the series will be, but I hope this reboot will correct the mistakes of the original series.

The fact that they mention Barks in the press release, even if it is in reference to the old series, makes me smile.

^I think calling it DuckTales is just canny on their part. The kids who grew up on the original show are now old enough to have kids of their own in the right age range for a new version, which their parents will want to share. Although we Disney comics fans hold Barks and Rosa on a pedestal we're a small but dedicated bunch. DuckTales was iconic for a whole generation of kids. Besides, people will be led back to the comics because of new DuckTales just as they were with the old show. It was how I was first introduced to the characters.
... of course, I wouldn't mind them mining the comics for more material: Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck miniseries and/or movie!

WHOO-HOOO!!!!!!

I'm not surprised that the new DuckTales series will be called DuckTales. In 1950 Disney released the animated film Cinderella...and this year's live-action remake is also titled Cinderella. In 1951 Disney released the animated film Alice In Wonderland...and the 2010 live-action version was also titled Alice In Wonderland. So.....another DuckTales.
The story from Entertainment Weekly magazine says that the new DuckTales series "will include appearances by Donald Duck" so apparently Donald will not be a regular character.

So, I'm unlikely to be able to see these on Disney XD, but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to see them somehow, eventually! My more immediate hope is that the warm-up to this will involve a DVD release of DuckTales vol 4 with the remaining episodes, including two of my faves, Ducky Mountain High and Trala La. Given that Disney just finally released the last of the TaleSpin episodes on DVD, I've been hopeful that completion of DuckTales and Darkwing would follow.
My main hopes for a DuckTales reboot: an occasional opportunity for Webby to shine (as she did in a couple of DuckTales *books* which were not based on episodes--guess they thought that *girls* were likely to read books!); one or two additional recurring female characters, perhaps including Launchpad's sister Loopy; and (speaking of voices in animation!) an *Italian* accent for Magica. I'm willing to accept that DuckTales is in a parallel universe to the comic book Duckburg, but Magica's Russian accent just drives me crazy. It even keeps me from re-watching one of the all-time best episodes, Raiders of the Lost Harp. If they wanted a Russian villain, they should have invented one. Magica is Italian, dammit! End of rant.
