The openings visuals pay homage not only to DuckTales past but Carl Barks' legendary Disney Ducks art.
Updating theDuckTalestheme was going to be a herculean task.
To say the original 1987 series theme song is beloved would be an understatement.
Its a genuine piece of pop culture.
When the reboot series was announced the first question on many fans mind was, What about the theme?
Back in June the new opening theme was released to the public and it was a smash hit.
None of the lyrics were changed from the original and the visuals are nothing short of breathtaking.
This wasnt how the opening theme was originally going to look.
When we listened to it we were like, we gotta start over again.
TheDuckTalesteam certainly managed to do that.
Barks worked on various Ducks comic series across three decades and around five hundred stories.
He introduced or developed many of the classic elements that later found a home in the original DuckTales series.
Barks also produced a series of painting of the Duck characters.
Its something with this rich legacy that spans decades.
We wanted to verify everyone could feel that even if they dont know anything about Carl Barks.
Whenever they do learn about Carl Barks theyll go, Oh yeah, I remember that fromDuckTales!
and then want to dig more into his work.
Angones says that shot sums up the show.
The series will then debut with two new episode Saturday, September 23.
