Review of DuckTales

DuckTales (2017–2021)
10/10
Expected simple entertainment but got so much more
10 September 2020
The original Ducktales was a bit before my time. I knew the characters but people like Launchpad were quite new to me. I expected a simple Disney show about scrooge and the nephews. But no, I got so much more.

This show is beautiful. It has good humor and a solid script to fill any 20 minutes you have spare. But this is not just a show for childeren. It is a love letter to Ducktales and everyone who grew up with stories of Scrooge and Donald Duck. It goes into more depth about character backgrounds: how Donald and the nephews ended up in Duckburg, but also who the mother of the nephews is which is a suprisingly heartfelt storyline and really grabbed me by the throat.

Everyone has that list in his/her head of which series are the best series for them personally. And while animated shows are usually overshadowed by big blockbuster shows, I have to say that this show is so good that it makes my personal favourite series list of all times. It's witty, the visuals are great and like I said a loveletter to anyone who grew up with Ducktales or in my case reading the Donald Duck cartoons.
