Ducktales: Woo-oo! Review


Animation fans it is finally here after months of waiting the Ducktales reboot has aired it's first two episodes i hope your body is ready because i'm going to jump in and review Ducktales: Woo-oo!.


The basic plot of the pilot special is Huey , Dewey and Louie get dropped of by there Uncle Donald who has asked Scrooge to babysit while he goes on a job interview and the gang get into trouble. I can't really go into two much detail because so much of the plot could be considered a spoiler but story wise this is just two episodes put together and it really shows and there's a great twist when you find out who Donald is interviewing for.


We now have David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck , Danny Pudi as Huey , Ben Schwartz as Dewey , Bobby Moynihan as Louie , Kate Micucci as Webby Vanderquack , Beck Bennett as Launchpad McQuack , Toks Olagundoye as Mrs. Beakley and regular Donald Duck VA Tony Anselmo. I have to say the acting in this film was mostly spot on i loved Kate as the new and improved Webby and the actors behind the nephews were really good but some reason whenever David Tennant was on screen all i heard was David Tennant i didn't here Scrooge but i'm sure that's because out of all of the cast he's the most well known and i couldn't really hear what Donald was saying most of the time.

Bravo Disney for bringing out another show with great animation the animation wasn't great all of the time but it was great 99% of the time and for me that's a win. There's a lot of great movements in there especially during the scenes where Scrooge is pretty much showing of but then there's that 1% where the animation just looks a little off.


Not only does this pilot special have some great action /adventure scenes but it also has a lot of great jokes which sadly had most of them spoiled in the trailer so i won't go into detail about what the jokes are because you'll all already know what they are but let's just say there's two jokes that wasn't in the trailer that i thought was really funny.

This is just the pilot episode so it also has the job of setting up the rest of the series but from what i can gather just of this special the series will most likely have the gang going to a different part of the world almost every week but what really got me interested was based of the final scene it looks like there going to set up hopefully a season long mystery which could be really interesting.



The new theme song is sung by American Idol contestant Felicia Barton and while it will never top the original theme it's still a really good song that has a catchy beat and is very easy to sing along to (which i did when the song first hit the web) honestly there's not much i can say about the song that hasn't already been said.


Overall Ducktales is back and i'm ready for more this was a great special did a good job of setting up the series and since it's a pilot there will be no rating but i will say go and watch this episode right now.
