DuckTales 2017 (not to be confused with the original DuckTales), sometimes known as simply DuckTales, is a 2017 animated TV series set in an alternate continuity of the comics, although it is mostly based on comics by Scrooge's creator, Carl Barks, and the original series with the same name, thus being a reboot.
Sypnosis
After not speaking to one another for a decade, Scrooge McDuck is reunited with Donald Duck after he and his three nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie move into McDuck Manor. The presence of the newcomers rekindles Scrooge's spirit of adventure, leading the group to go on numerous new treasure-hunting expeditions, while the nephews and their new friend Webby uncover the truth behind what caused their uncles to become estranged and retire from adventuring.
Setting
The series takes place in the 2017 Continuum, featuring its versions of places and characters from the Prime Universe as well as many new locations and faces. In addition to reintroducing elements of the original DuckTales, the series also incorporates elements from other shows of the Disney Afternoon period, including TaleSpin, Goof Troop, Darkwing Duck, Adventures of the Gummi Bears, and Quack Pack.
