 Hey guys welcome back to Comic Gettin TV we're all geek culture collides I'm Shannon and today I'm going to be giving you my review of the new DuckTales reboot by Disney XD so stay tuned. I just watched the series premiere on the Disney XD YouTube channel yesterday with my wife and kid. At first I was pretty skeptical because they not only completely changed the art style so that it would more closely resemble a cross between old school comic book art and the newer Mickey Mouse cartoons which I think are horrendous but they also completely redid the music and didn't even try to keep the voices similar to the originals. The two shining stars in the new series when it came to voice casting were longtime official Donald Duck voice actor Tony Anselmo and SNL cast member Beck Bennett who voices Launchpad McQuack. Everyone else was completely out of whack. Every time Scrooge McDuck opened his beak I expected to hear the voice of Uncle Scrooge but instead I heard David Tennant. Now don't get me wrong Tennant is a great actor but he has a very distinguishable voice so rather than seeing Scrooge on screen I'm just seeing a Duck that sounds like Kilgrave from Jessica Jones and before you tell me he played the 10th Doctor first yes I know that but he played the 10th Doctor with a slightly higher voice to sound younger while Kilgrave and Scrooge's are slightly deeper. Then we have the absolutely horrendous voice casting of Huey, Dewey and Louie. What in the hell were Disney thinking? They don't even sound anything like their former selves in every incarnation. At least David Tennant tried to sound like Uncle Scrooge whereas the boys just sound like normal teenagers. I mean come on Danny Pooty, Ben Schwartz, and Bobby Moynihan and we follow that up with Kate McCoochie as Huey, as a long time original fan of DuckTales. I find it incredibly disrespectful to the characters and to the fans coming up with such a shitty voice cast. I could overlook the change in music, I could even overlook the new art direction. David Tennant's Uncle Scrooge could even grow on me but when you completely remove the voice style of the younger Duck, that's when I have to say enough is enough. The only true saving grace for the first episode other than Donald and Launchpad's voice actors was the story. There were many callbacks to the original series with different artifacts being in Scrooge's garage including the magic lamp from the DuckTales movie. The story was very much like the original series and the humor was there. I tried so hard to like the new series I really did but ultimately I came down to the complete change in Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby's voices that just drove me nuts. So here's the synopsis. Donald Duck leaves his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie with his estranged Uncle Scrooge McDuck while he goes on a job interview. Webby Vanderquack befriends the boys and shows them examples of the adventures Scrooge and Donald had together but they inadvertently release various ancient evils housed in the artifacts in Scrooge's collection. After he and the kids contain the spirits Scrooge's thirst for adventure is rekindled and decides to take them all on a mission to find the lost jewel of Atlantis. At the same time Donald is hired as a sailor by Scrooge's rival Flintheart Glomgold who also seeks the jewel. Originally airing on August 12, 2017 as an hour long special I have to say I really wanted to be wrong about this show. I could have overlooked the art style and the new music. I could have gotten used to David Tennant as Scrooge. The story and humor were very reminiscent of the original and just as good but the voices of the younger ducks ruined it for me. But that's just me. An OG DuckTales fan. I've watched since the beginning so there's a specific sound for their voices that I just can't get past. However I'm sure new fans will find it entertaining. My middle daughter who is seven years old left the room a quarter of the way through the episode and didn't return until about 15 minutes before the end and she is always glued to the TV when we put in the original DVDs. My oldest watched the entire episode with me. She's 14 and she really enjoyed it but my wife only caught the end and she didn't really like it at all. And then there's my son who's five years old who always loved the original DuckTales but wouldn't even watch it. So for me I'm going to give this a five out of ten stars. That's my review guys of the new DuckTales reboot by Disney XD. Go ahead and give it a try. You might like it you might not. I don't think this is one of those shows where you can kind of like it. It either takes you back to when we were younger or you just completely hate it. So there you have it guys. Take care.
