DuckTales

When I heard that there would be a remake of an animated series that was a big part of my childhood and that I was pretty fond of as a kid, I was curious, even though I was also pretty skeptical. It is rare for a modern remake to appeal to the new and old audiences alike. A good remake is something that is basically just as appealing to someone who knows the original show as it is for the new audience. However, they did it again! Sure, it took a while to get used to the new style of animation; however, when I heard the old familiar opening theme again, I decided to give this whole animated series a chance; I mean, it kind of sounds the same, and different at the same time. Plus, in a similar way with the theme tune, on the one hand, everything is so familiar and seems the same; however, on the other hand, it also appears new and different in some ways. It is still a mesmerizing, adventurous show with likable characters and exceptionally well-written narratives. There are several surprises, like the new look of Mrs. Bentina Beakley, and the triplets Huey, Dewey and Louie are much more distinguishable from each other this time, plus each has slightly different characteristics. In addition, we see Donald Duck much more often, too, which is nice. On the other hand, most of the characters were in the first animated series and will be familiar to older viewers, like The Beagle Boys, Flintheart Glomgold, and Launchpad McQuack. In other words, this new remake honors the original animated series and its fans can look forward to numerous references, Easter Eggs, (like Scrooge's garage, for example) while trying to be much more dynamic, suspenseful, and not afraid to go its own way in some ways. In conclusion, this is a decent remake... 8/10. (02/03/2018)
