where is our ol pal donald in this serie? i cant remember once that ive seen him in this serie
shareDonald joined the Navy and left Huey, Dewey, and Louie with Scrooge. He appeared in a few episodes, including "All Ducks on Deck," "Spies in their Eyes," and "Sphinx for the Memories."
shareI wonder why they didn't have Donald more in this series too. Maybe they were saving him for "Quack Pack"?
Yes, it's true! IMDB has reached Sweden!
I read two things for that reason. BTW Ducktales was based on a comic book and Donald did have a bigger part than he did in Ducktales
Here are those reasons
1) They wanted Scrooge to be the main character and Donald being one of Disney's biggest characters would have overshadowed him and he would over throw Scrooge to be the main character
2) No one can understand what he says most of the time.
I agree with you on 2) Hyperjango. But Donald was a part of the Scrooge stories that Barks wrote. I wish he was the substitute for Gizmo Duck by coming back in Season 2 and being a Navy recruiter in Duckburg. Heck, a cameo from Daisy and a visit to Grandma Duck (voiced by June Foray of course) would help.
shareI think the Ducktales characters could have atleast appeared in Quackpack just to make it clear it is a Ducktales spinoff. It would have been funny if Gladstone appeared.
I agree with you on that HyperJango, they should have added Grandma Duck in there (She is a small part of the Scrooge universe too).
It seemed strange in Quack Pack with just HDL, Donald Daisy and Ludwig and they're the only animals left. Where the heck was Scrooge?
And that's excactly what I don't like about "Quack Pack", how they mixed humanesque animals with real humans. "DuckTales", "TailSpin" and "Darkwing Duck" had humanesque animals only, and that worked. And other Disney shows had real humans only, and that worked too. But "Quack Pack" was just weird. Why would there be a few humanesque ducks in a world, where everybody else is a real human? That was really pushing it, even in a cartoon.
I don't know where Scrooge was in "Quack Pack". But I guess they just thought he had his three years of fame in "Duck Tales", and now it was Donald's turn.

Some reckoned he died but I say if that was the case he'd have left his money to the nephews as he said that in "Scrooge's last adventure". Gizmoduck should have appeared as he was cool but as I said so should everyone else. Apart from Laucnhpad as at the time he would have been living in St Canard with Drake Mallard
shareAgree with you on a few things furienna.
I kind of wonder if a world with some human ducks and humans was the result of Chuck Norris changing the Ducktales universe? (I kid) I don't know what the people at Disney were thinking of.
I never really liked Quack Pack anyways, too strange for me.
I thought maybe they were trying to pay homage to the shorts made from the 30-50's which had Donald, the nephews and Daisy in various skits.
Plus, Russi Taylor did such a great job as the nephews, it's strange hearing Anslemo and Nash voice them, they sound like a faster version of Donald.
Yes, after writing that post, I realised that in the old shorts, Donald Duck would sometimes interact with humans. Daisy and the nephews might have interacted with humans too sometimes, but I don't remember any examples of that right now.

Even though I liked the idea of "Quack Pack", I like to think of it exsisting in a different continuity than DuckTales if only for the fact that theres no mention of Uncle Scrooge or refrence to anything from Ducktales and its the only version od Huey, Dewy, and Louie to be portrayed as teens yet when "House of Mouse" was released they were back to being kids again.
"A commitment to cinema means to lead a technically deviant lifestyle."
Well, the nephews at "Quack Pack" seemed to be 12 or 13 years old at most. I wouldn't really call them teenagers, since they were more like pre-teens. I think they were the same age at "Quack Pack" as in "House of Mouse".

Interesting... I assume you think the last three are in a different universe than others because there are human beings there as well as animals. But why do you think "TailSpin" is set many years before the other shows?

The 30s? Nah, I don't think so at all. Rebecca didn't seem to be a 1930s kind of a woman.

I didn't know so many people thought "Tailspin" was set in the 1930s. Rebecca didn't excactly dress like a 1930s woman would, and were there really telephone booths back then?

I always wonder what Talespin would have been like if they did have Launchpad as the star. I reckon they'd keep Don Carnage but have Dofus have Kits role and Glumgold have Shere kahn and obviously have Launchpad have Baloo's. I wish I had a what if machine from Futurama that would be the first question I'd ask.

Launchpad was due for a spin-off. Darkwing duck was going to be called Double o duck but that idea was never to be. Remember that "double o duck episode"? Glad we got Darkwing though was Darkwing was cool as ice. I reckon some of double o Duck ideas were used into Darkwing especially in the episodes with FOWL in.
