This show is...a travesty.
To anyone that has read the original comics of Scrooge McDuck's adventures, or watched the original Ducktales show from the 80s, steer clear of this garbage 're-imagining' of those stories. Everything is wrong: the actors are awful, even Tony Anselmo who plays Donald sounds like he swallowed box loads of cotton balls before speaking. The nephews are horrendous and all sound like their voices by thirty-year olds (which they are).
The animation is...dire. Compared to the vibrant, lush animation of the 80s show, this is just horrendous. The simplistic design may hold true to Carl Barks, but the cheap animation just kills it.
While at times the dialogue is decent and almost witty, it is all just weighed down by a sense of eye-rolling self referencing tripe.
I hated this show. Hated it. Hated hated hated HATED it.
