Disney is primingDuckTalesto be its next big hit.
Does that mean the series is only for kids though?
Will there be anything for the older fans who grew up withDuckTalesthirty years ago?
That family is certainly an odd one.
If that sounds zany, thats what the creators intended.
Executive producer Matt Youngberg and co-producer and story editor Francisco Angones wrote the series, like a family comedy.
The family just happens to be the greatest adventurers of all time.

Angones specifically says the core of the show is about a family.
A real relatable family.
Its a big weird family with eight main characters and how they all get along.
Every family has their alliances and rivalries and their family secrets.
Some of those rivalries mentioned will involve Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
According to Huey voice actor Danny Pudi, Huey and Dewey will butt heads quite a bit.
(Deweys) always trying to stick out and Hueys lie, were a team!
I dont understand why you oughta be an individual.
Its fine to be a part of the group!
Huey also loves a plan while Dewey tends to do sort of his own thing.
Ben Schwartz, who plays Dewey, says his character will compete with the others.
What is he up to?
Louie is sort of a wild card.
Schwartz adds on that Louie is, just a laid back doesnt want to do anything kind of guy.
Pudi also hints that Donald Duck may not be a perfect uncle to the boys.
Huey tends to sort of take a stab at be the father figure that Donald is not being.
So I think he looks at Donald as, I need to help take care of things.
She is one of them now.
Shes definitely respected and an equal in a great way.
Pudi says Huey is just, completely confused by (Webbys) behavior.
This isnt a show about romantic relationships.
This is a show about family.
Webby is treated as one of the siblings.
He doesnt have a problem with anybody.
Even with Mrs. Beakley.
Launchpad especially loves Scrooge since hes the reason (Launchpad) exists.
Pudi describes Hueys relationship with Scrooge as an apprenticeship, or at least Huey sees it that way.
Its been very exciting.
I think it does a really good job of bringing those together.
Toks Olagundoye sums upDuckTalesas a realistic depiction of how families operate.
The newDuckTalesbegins with an hour-long episode that will air all day Saturday, August 12, on Disney XD.
The series will then debut with two new episode Saturday, September 23.
