Just to get you in the mood for its return, here’s a brief reminder of the oh-so-catchy theme song… With adventure and hi-jinks aplenty, it would seem that the comic misadventures of the classic DuckTales will once more be on offer with this brand new series. For that matter how much time, if any, has passed since the original adventures?
The new DuckTales was first announced in February of 2015 in a statement by Marc Buhaj, Senior Vice President and Programming and General Manager for Disney XD, published by Oh My Disney. The network hopes to bring “the same energy and adventurous spirit” to the new generation.
