Disney’s DuckTales cartoon is coming back. First with an hourlong TV movie on August 12th on Disney XD before officially debuting on September 23rd.
The new opening title and new rendition of the theme song have already been released and while the animation is definitely different than the original 1980s animation series, it is definitely inspired by the Carl Barks’ comic designs from the 1950s and 60s.
But don’t worry, the song is almost identical to the original. You can listen to it above and get ready for Scrooge McDuck and his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie to return to your TV this September.
Now everybody sing-a-long!
Life is like a hurricane
Here in Duckburg
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes
It’s a duck-blur!
Might solve a mystery
Or rewrite history!
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Every day they’re out there making
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Tales of derring-do
Bad and good luck tales!
D-d-d-danger! Lurks behind you!
There’s a stranger out to find you
What to do, just grab on to some…
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Every day they’re out there making
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Tales of derring-do
Bad and good luck tales! Woo-oo!
Not pony tales or cotton tales, no
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
