Timephoon is a cartoon written by Madison Bateman (along with DuckTales 2017's normal team of writers) and directed by Jason Zurek. It features Scrooge McDuck, Huey Duck, Dewey Duck, Louie Duck, Webby Vanderquack, Launchpad McQuack, Della Duck, Bentina Beakley, Gyro Gearloose, Roxanne Featherly, and, in their debuts, Bubba Duck, Benjamin Frankloon, and Gyro's clones.
Description
When Louie "borrows" Gyro Gearloose's Time Tub to take artefacts from the past, can Della learn to put her foot down before her son accidentally destroys spacetime as they know it?
References
- The Time Tub appears again. It is established that whenever it's used, there is an afterblast that can potentially bring anyone who was standing too close to the tub with you to your temporal destination.
- Gyro has been creating a clone army.
Continuity
- The Time Tub makes an appearance.
- After having been mentioned in The Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee, Benjamin Frankloon makes a physical appearance.
Behind the Scenes
Timephoon debuted on September the 9th, 2019.
After returning from the past, Gyro Gearloose is wearing an outfit reminiscent of some of the costumes Aaron Burr wore in the musical Hamilton. This could possibly be a subtle joke about Gyro's contentious relationship with his intern, Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera, who is played by the actor who originated the role of Alexander Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda.
