What happens

DuckTales is an American animated television series developed by Matt Youngberg and Francisco Angones, and produced by Disney Television Animation. The series is a reboot of the original 1987 series of the same name, itself an adaptation of Uncle Scrooge and other Duck universe comic books created by Carl Barks. The show focuses on the lives of Scrooge McDuck and his family as they engage in a variety of adventures in the fictional city of Duckburg and around the world. The reboot itself adds new elements and deeper character stories, including a greater involvement of Donald Duck as well as the introduction of his twin sister, Della Duck. The series premiered on August 12, 2017, with a 44-minute long pilot episode on Disney XD, before the first season was green-lit for broadcast from September 23 that year on Disney XD. From May 2018 to September 2019, the series was moved to Disney Channel for the previously not broadcast part of the first season and all of the second season. DuckTales was then moved back to Disney XD for its third season, and concluded with a 67-minute finale on March 15, 2021. The series has received positive reviews from critics, with praise for its voice acting, humor, writing, animation, and expanded depth from the original series. Since its release, it has also expanded to a comic book series, a scripted podcast, and several online shorts. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
