- TriviaTony Anselmo reprises his role of Donald Duck from DuckTales (1987); while it was a minor role in that show (he left the nephews with Scrooge when joining the navy, appearing in only a few episodes), it's a bigger role in this show.
- Quotes
[At Donald's birthday, his candle goes berserk and tries to kill him]
Scrooge McDuck: It's a Promethean candle, guaranteed never to go out!
[gets stares]
Scrooge McDuck: Did you expect me to buy a new candle for *every* birthday? Do you have any idea what that would cost, at my age?
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are of Scrooge McDuck chasing through different locations and comic-book panels for his lucky dime, accompanied by his family and friends and pursued by his enemies. At the end, McDuck swims through the series title (made of gold) and catches the dime.

Webby is no longer the stereotypical "girly" fourth triplet. She's spontaneous, creative and a quick thinker as well as a quick talker (even more so in stressful situations).
Huey seems to be the only one who's still in the Junior Woodchucks. He's the oldest, more organized triplet. He's not as spontaneous as his siblings are. But make no mistake: he's still mischievous. He seems to be cool with getting dragged into dangerous situations together with his two younger brothers, never showing any signs of being really scared. He's level headed. But can get overly excited about small things such as activities on field trips.
Dewey is the middle child. He's extremely spontaneous even more so than Webby and his two brothers. He's not afraid of putting his own life in danger. He seems to enjoy taking risks that put him in deadly situations.
Louie is the youngest triplet. He's by far the most laid back triplet. He likes to slack off. A lot. He is, however, ready to act whenever the need arises. He has talked to Webby more his brothers thus far.
Scrooge McDuck is believed to be the uncle of Donald Duck but the triplets have always called him uncle Scrooge. He's the richest duck in the world. He has a bit of an Indiana Jones vibe about him. He is famous in the world as an adventurer and loves to get himself into trouble (unlike the Scrooge in the old series). Despite his old age he's surprisingly agile and can take quite the beating and still fight back without any problem.
Donald Duck is the Uncle and the caretaker of the triplets. Unlike the original show, Donald will have an important role in the reboot. He was Scrooge's sidekick once but they parted ways after an incident of some kind.
I like the new voice actors surprisingly much. Some say the triplets sound a bit too old but I think it works. The writing is simply brilliant! Witty, mysterious and adventurous!
Seriously give the show a chance even if you never watched the original series. It's a reboot done right.
