Donald Duck first appeared on June 9, 1934 in a cartoon named The Wise Little Hen. To celebrate, Disney posted the first three of six planned shorts for the new DUCKTALES series debuting in August. I am a huge fan of Disney's Duck comics not to mention the original cartoon. I was a little skeptical about bringing back DUCKTALES, but I am definitely hyped up for the show.

I do love that each of the nephews has their own voice and personality. That is a welcome change! Entertainment Weekly did an interview with the creators, and they mentioned "If Huey has Scrooge’s brains, Dewey has Scrooge’s guts, and Louie has Scrooge’s love of treasure, Webby has Scrooge’s heart.”
