Disney's DuckTales
Episode 1 ' 'Woo-oo!'
Picking up 10 years after the beloved series ended, Scrooge
has hung up his adventure hat. When a last minute emergency forces Donald to
leave Huey, Dewey, and Louie with their Great Uncle Scrooge, the boys see a
golden opportunity to open adventure’s door. This family – including Webby, Mrs
Beakley, and Launchpad round out the finely honed adventuring team. If they
stick together, there’s no rival these ducks can’t face. In this premiere episode, Donald Duck reluctantly takes his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie to
the home of their reclusive great-uncle Scrooge McDuck. Enthralled by their
once legendary great-uncle and the wonder of McDuck Manor, the triplets and
their newfound fierce friend Webby learn of long-kept family secrets and
unleash totems from Scrooge’s epic past, sending the family on an adventure of
a lifetime to the Lost City of Atlantis.
David is joined in the cast by Danny Pudi as Huey, Ben Schwartx as Dewey, Booby Moynihan as Louie, Toks Olagundoye as Mrs Beakley, Kate Micucci as Webby, Tony Anselmo as Donald and Beck Bennett as Launchpad.
It is believed, but as yet unconfirmed by Disney in Australia, that the series may launch on the same day.
DuckTales: Woo-oo! premiered in the USA and Canada last month with the full series launch next weekend.
