DuckTales returning in time for ducks to assume control of the planet
Heralding the long-inevitable rise of the ducks, Disney XD has announced that it’s bringing back DuckTales, the late-’80s cartoon that prophesized a looming future of race cars, lasers, aeroplanes, and powerful, anthropomorphic ducks rewriting history, after gaining control of most of the world’s capital, woo-oo. A whole new generation of children will thrill to the adventures of Scrooge McDuck and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, in between reporting to their duck-bosses at the breadcrumb factory. Disney also promises that all the other denizens of Duckburg will return as well—everyone from Launchpad McQuack to the Beagle Boys to Donald Duck, whose spluttering rage will have no doubt taken on a more militant, anti-human focus.
