A TOTALLY RADICAL Look at Quack Pack 

Do you take requests

Same here & the redesigns are bitchin'. 😎👍

@@DTWXthe redesigns is what pulled me in the most

Yea I would be mad if I miss a episode of this show

I really enjoy the cartoon! Not only do I still own the DVD, but I wrote a movie adaptation of it as well.

Same

Just like when Disney cancelling cartoons I really liked. The Owl House and Star vs the forces of evil even Gravity Falls.

@@adampellett4917 To my knowledge The Owl House is the only one out of all of those that was cancelled. From what I’ve heard Gravity Falls and Star vs the Forces of Evil ended on their own terms.

And better than the Ducktales reboot version.

More like a mix of Bart Simpson and Dennis the Menace (maybe both the US and UK versions, although they're different versions) on 1990s settings.

can i be honest im not going to say lying right all the time but honesty is the best policy isn't always a good idea either depending on the situation

Maybe they assume every teenager acts like this, with the whole trying to go against the authority type of thing

Or make something that is sincerely based on a subculture or demographic you geniunely relate to. The movie Singles works because Cameron Crowe geniunely liked grunge.

Unfortunately, because it didn't turn out like Ducktales or Darkwing Duck. Although more or less it is mainly due to the influence of other critics, so as if the critics are right, then we will say it, without saying it. After all, it would be more likely to say that people are not interested in that series. Still, I love that series, despite the mistakes it made.

I was wondering the same thing

Same 😂😂😂

It's "Don't lie"!

"Well, I hope you've learned your lesson, Arthur, which is, namely, never to lie, because when you lie, you... well, you're doing a very, very bad thing."

Daisy was great in House of Mouse and Ducktales 2017 with her bows. Although it is not so much a matter of the bow, as of her personalities.

Eh, even the nephews in the OG Ducktales haven’t aged well (and this is coming from someone who grew up with that show and now has a son and daughter of his own). They’re absurdly sexist towards poor Webby, to the point where my kids (who are absolutely enamored with the 2017 version) don’t care to watch certain episodes of the 1987 show because of the nephews’ borderline cruel interactions with Webby. The 87 show also suffers from dated writing (fat shaming jokes, offensive character portrayals), which the 2017 version that my kids watch might only suffer from in reference to the nephews (which I somewhat agree), as the entire 2017 show itself has some of the most well written episodes, with bridging and connecting plot point, humor that lands extremely well, and at times legitimate emotional moments that neither the 1987 show or “Quack Pack” could ever hope to muster. You said you dislike the 2017 nephews. I don’t personally find them all that atrocious. Personally the only one who rubs me the wrong way sometimes is Louie, but even I could put that aside and actually feel for him when he broke down over Dewey hiding the truth about one of their mother’s personal possessions from his siblings. Also, 1987 Louie had a few moments that harken to his greedy 2017 self (one such example was opting not to cure Scrooge of an obviously detrimental mental affliction simply because he was going to buy them all brand new bikes). As for why people don’t like the whole “they’re 100% the same” gag, it’s that if you tell the same joke for 58 years (the nephews were introduced in 1938, “Quack Pack” debuted in 1996), said joke gets quite stale with the audience. Heck, even I was tired of it by 1991 and moved on to “Darkwing Duck”.

@@Mechasonicrocks Your comment would have been spot on if you hadn't said that the nephews were "sexist" towards Webby. They are children, how can they act sexist? By the way, didn't Darkwing Duck make Gosalyn too boyish? Besides, it's a rivalry between girls and boys, and it's common for boys to tease girls. And it's not that the boys always outplayed Webby, even Webby outdid them in certain things. And I say this for OG Ducktales. Yeah, old gag? Then change Donald's voice too, because it's too old-fashioned, right? From your comments, I can tell you have never even read the comics and yes, Donald's nephews first appeared in the COMICS and then in animation. Donald's nephews were mean at first, but after Donald adopted them, he disciplined them very well and introduced them to be useful scouts in the Junior Woodchucks, and later to be moral verticals for their uncles Donald and Scrooge. You could just say that you don't like the OG Ducktales and I'm aware of some flaws in that series, but it absolutely doesn't mean that the Ducktales reboot didn't suffer from the same, if not worse problems that it did. Yes, I also prefer Darkwing Duck, but for my own reasons. Did you watch that series to the end or not? The first season, I'll be honest, is solid, although there were mistakes, while the second and third seasons had so many mistakes, that I hardly gave up watching, but I watched until the end. Emotional scenes would be ok, if there was no introduction of meta humor. And there are better emotional scenes in comics, especially in The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa. Everything they started well, they ended badly. I know you're referring to the episode "Allowance Day" from Ducktales 1987, where Donald's nephews tricked Scrooge into thinking it was Saturday and not Friday and screwed up, but everyone did it, not just one triplet. The thing about triplets is that, regardless of their differences, they can very well be similar to each other and work together. Ducktales 2017 did none of that, even just Huey being a member of the Junior Woodchucks, and Dewey being rude to his uncle like he ruined his life for not calling him "Turbo". Disgusting! And I would not comment on Louie's behavior, as if the writers wanted to make him a complex character. Only Huey was in place, but they turned him into a batting offense and there was hardly any focus on him. To me, that version is nothing like the Quack Pack either, as much as there are similarities between them or the OG Ducktales or especially the comics. To me, Ducktales 2017 is too frivolous and yes, the focus on adult characters was much better than the focus on children. And I don't like children's voices as they sound totally adult, only Boyd was on point. Maybe I'm a zoomer, but I prefer the old cartoons, because I grew up with them as well as comics. I don't mind Donald's nephews having different personalities, but it should be done right, like growing up with puberty, not making them different from birth. The Ducktales reboot had a good attempt, but a poor execution. For me, Quack Pack did a better job with Donald's nephews, if only it wasn't set too 90s. And Donald's nephews as three in one is not bad, because that is what it serves, especially for the sidekicks, and thus allows for more focus on Scrooge and Donald. If Donald's nephews were like Daisy's nieces in The Legend of The Three Caballeros, then I'd say that's the right version for them because even though they look the same, they still act differently and it would be totally spot on. The comics certainly did a great job. However the Quack Pack version is something I will say the right way as HDL grows up. Again, I say, that's my opinion and there's no need to get excited about it. I respect your opinion, but it seems like you hate everything old, and I'll just say there wouldn't be a Ducktales reboot, if there weren't OG Ducktales, Darkwing Duck or the Quack Pack.

@@historiaestmagistravitae.7051 1. No, I never read the “Donald Duck” comics, as I live in the United States. 2. The episode I referred to in regards to Louie was “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. McDuck”. 3. Yes, I have watched the 1987 series frequently from beginning to end, often with my two children (as I noted). 4. Perhaps I should’ve reworded my statement about the nephews’ attitude towards Webby. The writing is sexist. I don’t know how you couldn’t say it’s not: “You can’t go on adventures because you’re a GIRL!” I’m sorry, but there’s no logical reasoning behind that statement, other than some guy on the writing staff probably didn’t think too much of the opposite sex. 5. I don’t hate everything old, it’s just that I have two young, fresh pairs of eyes (unclouded by nostalgia) that are able to see the various flaws in writing, character interactions, etc present in the shows I watched when I was their age. I still very much enjoy the 1987 Ducktales, but I can’t really say that the final seasons were of the best quality. I don’t recall where I read it online, but there was an interview with one of the show runners of DT1987 and he stated that most of the crew were burnt out on the show and it’s characters after the first season. 6. I have watched the entirety of DT1987, “Quack Pack” and DT2017 all the way to the end both by myself and with my kids. This is my personal ranking: 1. DT2017 2. DT1987 3. “Quack Pack” DT2017 edges out “Quack Pack” because although the nephew’s reimagining may become dated, the rest of the series (writing, humor, emotion) behind the nephews is way more solid than “Quack Pack”. That being said, as a product of the time they were produced, most every cartoon ends up feeling dated…ESPECIALLY if it includes children or teens in the story, as the team writing said children and teens are often grown adults (and often times in the early days there were no women or people with children in the writers room, so the kids and girls are often written objectively worse) whose viewpoints of how children/teens act and what they would do is, more often than not, a bit skewed. In regards to the three most prominent attempts to bring Donald, his nephews and Uncle Scrooge to the animated tv show format, the two versions of Ducktales start strong in season one, yet lose their way in both subsequent seasons (though I admit seasons 2 and 3 of both 1987 and 2017 have episodes I still enjoy). “Quack Pack” suffers the most in every regard, as while the show’s creators stated they based their premise around the world of the classic “Donald Duck” shorts that existed prior to the 1987 “Ducktales”, nothing in the show outside of the existence of humans tells me this.

@@Mechasonicrocks Perhaps you meant to say "stereotypical", since Ducktales 1987 often highlights stereotypes between men and women, as well as between boys and girls. Webby was shown as a stereotypical girl from the 80s, and Ducktales was also shown as a time with all the stereotypes, and so it was in all cartoons of that period. Do you have problems with those stereotypes? Boys have always treated girls like that. And when I was younger, I bullied girls with my friends, but there were times when the girls bullied us boys too. As for Webby, yes there was bad behavior from the boys, and as I said before, Webby kind of outsmarted the boys and went with them. In the "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. McDuck" episode that I also watched, there is nothing like that bad behavior of Louie. DT87 Louie was generally the last to know and afraid of bad things, but his reaction never lagged behind his brothers. Well OG Ducktales did decline after the second season, especially when there was a focus on Bubba and Webby, and I agree there, but in the case of "everything was burned", I didn't understand it very well. What is it about? Well, in the past cartoons were made for both children and adults and everyone could enjoy them, just like you enjoy with your children. And there were separate episodes focused only on adults and episodes focused only on children, but everyone could enjoy it. Modern cartoons are mostly intended only for children and teenagers, while adults are told "cartoons are only for children", which is nonsense. The problem with Ducktales 2017 is that it is mostly focused on the children, and there was hardly any focus on Scrooge and Donald, especially Donald who is a secondary character. Even episodes where they are focused on adults, have to put children in, especially in scenes where it is not necessary, because they are supposedly "drawn for children". And it's better when children are played by children's characters or actors who can imitate children's voices. Isn't it better for your children to grow up with their characters who look like them? Quack Pack had the biggest problem with writing the script, so some episodes turned out to be terrible, for which the authors themselves apologized. Although other series had a similar problem, because they imitated the problems that mostly sitcom series had during the 1990s. Although, I enjoyed that series again, even though it didn't turn out better than the OG Ducktales or Darkwing Duck. Besides, children can be boring, but it is important to know what to do with them. Ducktales 2017 created a similar problem to the Quack Pack, especially when it comes to Donald's nephews. And their version will be as outdated as the Quack Pack version over time, and the problem is their personality development is not very well executed. And children will change their minds over time, especially during puberty, but that's completely normal. I don't mind that you and your kids enjoyed it and that's fine, just know that what's iconic lasts longer than what's supposed to be outdated. Again, I respect your opinion. Humans in Quack Pack wasn't that much of a problem, there were humans in both Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck so I didn't see people complaining about it. I know, and you'll probably say that Quack Pack wasn't good, because it wasn't like Ducktales, because it wasn't. However, I don't mind the changes, and the comedy also reminded me a lot of the classic shorts from the golden era, as well as the Donald Duck comics that I enjoyed, and what I said before, I liked that they were different from both versions of Ducktales did the best job of the relationship between Donald and his nephews and proved that Donald is the best parent for them, not Scrooge or Della. This is why I appreciate the Quack Pack so much. You haven't read the comics? Well, that says it all, since the Donald Duck character is better developed in the comics than in the cartoons, and Scrooge is a real bastard in the comics too. Although I know some Americans who read Donald Duck comics, but it is rare to find it except on the Internet where you have access to it, of course if you have more free time. You have Comics Online that you can read and find Disney comics there, I would especially recommend reading the Carl Barks comics, and your kids might be fine too. I say this only as a recommendation and I hope we understand each other. I certainly respect your opinion.

@@historiaestmagistravitae.7051 Yes, perhaps "stereotypical" was the correct term and while I don't dislike said stereotypes, it's clear to me (based on my daughter's reaction to the nephews' behavior towards Webby in the 1987 show) that they are quite outdated. Worse yet is that the show never attempted to have either Uncle Scrooge (or some other adult figure that the nephews looked up to and/or respected) notice said bullying behavior and address it. Considering both Webby and the boys come from somewhat similar upbringings (missing/deceased biological parents, raised by a single biological relative) I always felt that would've been enough to convince the boys to ease up a bit (or at least have less harsh/judgmental insults) What makes it really hard to watch now that I'm older is the added fact that Webby and her Grandma were essentially homeless before moving in with Scrooge and the boys. Poor Webby had nothing before this, and now she has a roof over her head, and...Oh my gosh! People her age, to maybe be the best of friends with! But, much to her dismay and probable misery, the only occupants that are her age give her almost nothing but negative interactions on a near daily basis. Imagine what a roller-coaster her self-esteem must have been over the course of that show! Being a show in the 1980's, around the popularization of the cartoon PSA (think "GI Joe: A Real American Hero" and its famous "Knowing is half the battle!" segments), I wouldn't have minded either an anti-bullying PSA which has the nephews learn the possible consequences of their attitude and behavior towards Webby or and episode where (as I previously mentioned) Scrooge or another central adult figure (perhaps Woodchuck Scout Leader Launchpad) notices the clear-as-day bullying that the nephews subject Webby to and the boys get a stern talking to, which would lead to them actually treating her like a human being...er....Duck person...I think you know what I mean. Regarding "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. McDuck" (and I watch these shows on Disney+) at about the 21:20 mark, Huey and his brothers show up with the cure for their Uncle Scrooge, who gleefully exclaims he's going to buy them all new bikes. Louie then asks: "Are you sure we wanna do this?" To which Huey replies: "This is gonna hurt us more than it hurts him." Now, while 1987 Huey doesn't seem pleased at the idea of losing out on new bikes either, it's still greedy Louie who first raises any voice of regret over not getting cool new stuff. In the 2017 version, Louie would still be the one to object to curing Scrooge, but 2017 Huey would definitely scold his brother for choosing material items over a family member's well-being. Regardigng humans in "Quack Pack", that never bothered me. I also don't hate "Quack Pack", but it's clearly the weakest entry in the three most prominent animated shows to feature the nephews. I guess I just needed a bit more connective tissue that would better convey that as being in the world of the classic "Donald Duck" shorts. There's still quite a few episodes I like of that show's one and only season. When I said the people working on the 1987 "Ducktales" were "burnt out", that's a term meaning they were tired of writing for the show and its world/characters after the first season. Finally, I am aware that the "Donald Duck" and "Uncle Scrooge" comics weren't a huge success here in the United States. Most of our knowledge and understanding of the characters of Donald, his nephews and Uncle Scrooge really only came from their various portrayals in animated media (hence why I used the 1938 short "Donald's Nephews" as a gauge for how old the whole "The nephews are exactly 100% identical!" gag was at the time that "Quack Pack" decided to do away with it), and from what I've heard, our writing departments don't hold a candle to those who helm the various comics you mentioned. Carl Barks himself went on record as having disliked both the 1987 and 2017 "Ducktales" shows. Speaking of Carl Barks and Don Rosa, I recall several users on RU-vid and across certain animation forums claim that the 2017 version of Uncle Scrooge was written in a similar vein to how Don Rosa wrote the character (heavy emphasis on action/adventure, less of a bastard, etc). Is there any amount of truth to this?
