The DuckTales Reboot is a go!

[Tev]

Get ready to have the ‘DuckTales’ theme song stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

On Dec. 16, Disney XD announced the cast of its “DuckTales” reboot scheduled to debut in the summer of 2017. Along with the announcement, it revealed the cast in a video of the actors singing a rendition of the original “DuckTales” theme song.

Actors billed to lend their vocal chops include David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck, Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz and Bobby Moynihan as the voices of Huey, Dewey and Louie, respectively, Beck Bennett as Launchpad McQuack, Toks Olagundoye as Mrs. Beakley, and Kate Micucci as Webby Vanderquack.

Tennant most recently appeared in Netflix’s “Jessica Jones” as Kilgrave, but also played the Tenth Doctor in “Doctor Who” and Barty Crouch, Jr. in the film “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” You may recognize Ben Schwartz as Jean-Ralphio from “Parks and Recreation,” Danny Pudi as Abed Nadir from “Community,” Kate Micucci as one part of “Garfunkel and Oates” and Beck Bennett and Bobby Moynihan from “Saturday Night Live.”

Disney XD teased the revival’s release date earlier this month.

All in all, so far this reboot looks pretty fly.

Why is my childhood so relevant and rebootable in these trying times?

So I guess playing a serial rapist is the key to landing a gig at Disney nowadays.

Anyway, it could be good, I guess? It still looks like the thing has barely begun producing.

Eh, they've got until the summer to give me something worth watching. The concept art looks good and they got a great cast of voice talent, so there's that.

Did they not bring back any of the original voice cast?
...For shame, Disney.

[Tev]

About that....

Scrooge McDuck - Alan Young (I) (1919–2016)
Huey/Dewey/Louie Duck and Webby - Russi Taylor (74 years old) (Though is still voicing Minnie Mouse for Disney.)
Launchpad McQuack - Terence McGovern (76 years old) (Seems to have moved on to video game voice acting.)
Mrs. Bentina Beakley - Joan Gerber (1935–2011)

EDIT: Oh and Flintheart Glomgold...the titular villain:
- Hal Smith (August 24, 1916 – January 28, 1994)
- Ed Asner (87 years old)
- Brian George (65 years old) <--- Probably your best bet.

.....They're getting old and/or dead.

You've just planted the seed of the Snake Post about how we're are all getting too old.

But if someone does want to see the original cast do something recent, might be time to replay Ducktales Remastered.

[Solid Snake]

I knew about Alan Young, yeah.
But not having McGovern come back as Launchpad is a fuckin' unforgivable travesty

EDIT: If they don't bring back Jim Cummings as Darkwing Duck when they remake DD I will murder them all in their sleep

There are times when the torch must be passed.

...Only one voice can be the terror that flaps in the night.

They're doing a lot of REALLY good things with this!

They've really differentiated the nephews and it looks like they'll have their own looks and personalities, and not all be colorswaps; Webby has one of my favorite humans as her voice actor; I'm hype for this. I'm hype as hell.
