Disney XD Will Reboot ‘DuckTales’

Disney today announced that they will reboot the 1980s TV series DuckTales on Disney XD in 2017. The original series, which ran for 100 episodes, was a well produced show for its time, and helped usher in a new era of higher quality TV animation during the 1990s.

Disney Television Animation, which will produce the series, offered no details on which artists and writers would be involved with the show. The only thing we know at this point is that it will have the same cast of characters as the earlier series, and that the show will retain the “same energy and adventurous spirit” as the original, according to Marc Buhaj, Disney XD senior v-p of programming and general manager.
