The Treasure Hunts Are Over, DuckTales!

Disney ends DuckTales.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

PROTECT BLACK WOMEN! 

END SARS NOW!

HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

BLOGGER IS TRASH!


After three great seasons, Disney is pulling the plug on DuckTales.


The series will conclude in 2021 with Season 3 being its final season.


“The talented creative team, led by Matt Youngberg and Francisco Angones, have delivered exceptional storytelling with uniquely reimagined characters for three seasons of 75 episodes and more than 15 shorts. While physical production is wrapping up, DuckTales continues to be available on Disney Channels and Disney+ around the world and fans will get an epic season finale in 2021.


The hashtag #RenewDuckTales2017 was trending on Twitter and I was wondering what that was about. I found out that the series is being cancelled by Disney. I was shocked.


It’s really a good series. I mean better than the original 1987-1991 series fans were accustomed to.


The series voice actors included: David Tennant (Scrooge McDuck), Danny Pudi (Huey), Ben Schwartz (Duey), Bobby Moynihan (Louie), Kate Micucci (Webby), Beck Bennett (Launchpad McQuack), Toks Olagundoye (Bentina Beakley), Tony Anselmo (Donald Duck) and Page Brewster (Della Duck).


Did you watch Disney's DuckTales?
Yes
No

The series had easter eggs with Darkwing Duck, Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, Bonkers, Goof Troop, TaleSpin, Gummi Bears and numerous homages to The Disney Afternoon.


Disney already has greenlighted Darkwing Duck which is slated to premiere on Disney+ in 2021 with series order on Disney XD.


There is a pressure campaign to force Disney to rescind its decision. Could it work? 


I don’t know!


Disney is notorious for abruptly cancelling shows without warning. The two things that matter for DuckTales to survive were ratings and contracts with the voice actors. If one of those things fell through like the ratings were slipping or the voice actors decided to no longer fulfill their duties due to disputes over money, it’s a wrap.


With that being said, share your thoughts. I am a nerd when it comes to cartoons and comics. I’ve watched DuckTales and I found it hilarious and very good. I’m an 80s baby and grew up watching the old school DuckTales and I literally believe the reboot is way better.
