I’ve been a big Ducktales fan since I was as a kid. (As evident by my avatar) I’ve become a huge fan of the new series that started last year. There is just so much to love. Lots of call backs to the original show, and even further references to the Carl Barks stories. And we finally get to see stories about Della Duck!
Which brings me
To what sealed the deal for me with the new series. In the latest episode “Whatever Happened to Della Duck?!” Della songs a lullaby to an upset and hungry “Moon Mite” (those guys are also a Barksian creation). The tune is set to chiptune “Moon Theme” from the Capcom Ducktales game from 1989- and it made me cry. It now has lyrics- and having had kids who watch the new show as I watched the old show, this was just a giant hug from the makers of the latest iteration of Ducktales. It was like a warm hug from people who are in the same phase of life as I am, who just kind of said “we get it.” And it made me feel really good to know that the makers of the show have so much respect for where the series came from as well as where super fans would like to see it go.
I’m just pleasantly surprised and thankful that the series is so well done.
