The comedy-adventure series chronicles the high-flying adventures of trillionaire Scrooge McDuck, his grandnephews - Huey, Dewey, and Louie - and temperamental nephew Donald Duck, Launchpad McQuack, Mrs. Beakley, and her granddaughter Webby.
While a good reboot stays true to the source material, DuckTales' makes changes to what didn't work and manages to successfully improve on the already great 80's show, making it dare I say better than the original serie.
What worked in the 80's DuckTales is kept practically unchanged, notably Launchpad McQuack being completely untouched, and what didn't - and only what didn't - is improved upon, like Webby going from generally annoying to enjoyable.
The pace has been hastened a little, which is actually a welcomed change from the old show that was honestly really slow, too slow at times, to one that's more dense while still taking its time.
Of course it's not perfect : the computer animation, while cleaner, won't win everybody's hearts. But despite all the skepticism I had after disappointing reboots, DuckTales' is pretty much the best one the serie could've hoped for.
