DuckTales

Animated series about wealthy waterfowl

DuckTales is an American animated television series featuring Scrooge McDuck and his grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie on treasure-hunting adventures.

The original 1987 series helped launch Disney's afternoon animation block and became a cultural touchstone for millennials.

A 2017 reboot updated the formula for a new generation.

The theme song remains iconic: Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg.
