NonCanon

Life is Full Of Adventures With Aflac is a short non-canonical live-action/cartoon hybrid featuring the DuckTales 2017 versions of Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Donald Duck, Pixiu, Webby Vanderquack, Launchpad McQuack and the Aflac Duck.

Plot[]

Watching an episode of DuckTales 2017, the Aflac Duck taps his webbed feet along to the music and daydreams about being part of the credits — and in his fantasy, he punctuates each verse that should end with "DuckTales" with his trademark "Aflac" instead! As we return to reality, a voiceover tells the viewer that life is full of adventures, hence the necessity of an Aflac insurance.

Behind the scenes[]

This short, used simultaneously as promotion for DuckTales 2017 and as an advertisement for the real-life American insurance company Aflac, was shown on television, and uploaded online, on September the 1st, 2017.

Although new animation was produced by the DuckTales 2017 animation team wherein the Aflac Duck interacts with the Duckburg crew, it is framed as the Aflac Duck daydreaming from within a live-action real world where the show is only fiction. As such, and considering that the Aflac Duck does not fit the regular nature of either an anthropomorphic or non-anthropomorphic duck from any of the recognized universes taken into account on this Wiki, the ad can safely be considered non-canonical from the Disney end of things, though it is, of course, presumably canonical to the Aflac Duck's personal continuity (insofar as there is one).
