Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Amateur movie with Big budget

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

I had been looking forward to this show since it was announced in early 2015, so when it was finally released I was hugely disappointed. The animation and art are of the crude, angular "edgy" kind that dominates today's TV animation. Up to this point, these classic Disney characters and their storylines were always noted for their superb animation, character design and background artwork, that were a pivotal part of the awe and excitement that came with each adventure and truly engaged the viewer in a genuine and charming way. This cartoon abandons this legacy altogether, and even goes so far as to claim that the reason why the characters are so off-model is because it was based on the art styles of Disney Legends Carl Barks and Milt Kahl, as if to shift the blame for their poor performance to these two icons, whose work bears absolutely no resemblance to the crude drawings of the Ducktales reboot series. This comparison is highly insulting to the works of these two artists, who are both noted for their sublime artwork (in comics and animation, respectively) and extensive work on the Disney ducks. Voice acting is based on "celebrity" status and not on whether or not someone fits the character. A lot of voices are television actors and not professional voice actors, leaving the voice work awkwardly paced and poorly acted.The show abandons virtually all characterization from the characters' original incarnations, to the point where they are similar in name only to their original counterparts. The showrunners basically created an unrelated TV cartoon, using the DuckTales show and character names just as a marketing trick to get more viewers. The humor is endlessly self-referential and sarcastic, and every sense of adventure or excitement is deflated by some snarky sarcastic comment by one of the nephews, who, along with the show's sitcom-esque structure are more reminiscent of Quack Pack than anything else. In the end, any reboot of this beloved franchise would have naturally done well in ratings, but this could and should have been done so much better. The show had such huge potential, but all it does is focus of change for the sake of change. Don Rosa, comics creator who worked on a number of popular Disney comics featuring these characters, has also expressed his dislike of this show, saying it "bears virtually no resemblance whatsoever" to Barks original comics. I couldn't agree more...

I'll say it straight away; I have never seen a single episode of the original 80s cartoon. I started watching this one because the original Ducktales was supposed to be a really good show, and everyone was saying that the new one was also supposed to be really good. I just finished watching season 1, and I cannot wait for the second season. In my opinion every character is likable in their own way, whether they're interesting or just plain funny, and I like the idea of combining an overarching plot with mini stories for each episode. I like the concept of a character (the mother) not only being missing, but seemingly being erased from existence, with any trace of her hidden away and never spoken of. I also think Lena is a pretty interesting character, with that mysterious shadow creature that she seems reluctantly loyal to. But as awesome as it is, I just hope it isn't dragged on for too long like a lot of modern cartoons (such as Spongebob and the Fairly Odd Parents) seem to, and that it actually has a conclusion eventually. SERIOUSLY recommendable, whether you've seen the original or not.

Just watched this today. Considering other remakes this wasn't bad at all - at least from the first episode. I was going to ding this because I am against remakes in principle but they did a good job. I actually liked the plot of this episode better then the first episode of the original My rating - 10 stars out of 10.

We have two kids, one nine and the other three. They've watched nearly all of the original Ducktales series and have enjoyed it a lot. It is quite cute to hear the youngest sing the opening song I grew up with.This new version though just does not hold their interest. Both left to do other things roughly ten minutes into the show. They did come back and watch every so often but were quite uninterested for the most part.I myself found it hard to stay focused on as well. The changes to the characters are too drastic for my tastes, ruining what potential the show had and the story line was not very interesting.My wife meh'd it as soon as the lackluster animation started and eventually told me to turn it off instead of wasting electricity.So many problems...First off, the nephews - what the heck is up with the voice actors for them? The voices do not fit in any way and are even worse than the ones from Quack Pack. And then the way they act... not the best of role models to say the least. At least they don't have them smoking and drinking although going by the voice acting, they sound old enough to do so.Then the next slap in the face, Mrs Beakley. Gone is the rather nice old lady to instead be replaced by well... someone not so nice and not so old. Joy. I understand that characters should be modernized but... bleah.Then there's Donald Duck. Of all of the changes they've made to the characters, his are the easiest to accept. I found him a bit harder to understand than the older Donalds though.Glomgold was a big fat no. No no no. Seriously, what were they thinking? Launchpad... voice again. Argh... Does he come off as less intelligent now? Of course there is also Scrooge McDuck who is possibly the least changed of the lot. The new voice was jarring at first but I got used to it fairly quick.Now... for the only good thing change in my opinion, Webby. Nice improvements on giving her a personality and all that. Didn't quite agree with some of the things they had her saying but I would say she's a better character now instead of the somewhat lackluster original.Still doesn't make up for the fact that we all found the show boring.
