The presence of the newcomers rekindles Scrooge 's spirit of adventure, leading the group to go on many new treasure - hunting expeditions, while the nephews and their new friend Webby seek the truth behind their uncle 's broken relationship and the mysterious disappearance of their mother, Della Duck. Voice cast Main article : List of DuckTales characters The show 's main voice cast include : David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck Danny Pudi as Huey Duck Ben Schwartz as Dewey Duck Bobby Moynihan as Louie Duck Kate Micucci as Webby Vanderquack Beck Bennett as Launchpad McQuack Toks Olagundoye as Mrs. Beakley Tony Anselmo as Donald Duck Production Matt Youngberg and Francisco Angones grew up watching the original series and had always wanted to develop an updated version for a newer generation. Youngberg said, `` We 're hoping that in thirty years, the kids who watch our show will then be bringing back the next version of DuckTales because they loved what we did so much. '' In May 2015, Terry McGovern, the original voice of Launchpad McQuack, stated in an interview that the entire voice cast from the original series would not be returning for the reboot, which made him `` heartsick '' at the news. The new voice cast for the series was revealed on December 16, 2016 in a video where they sing an a cappella version of the original theme song in promotion of the news. The following May, Lin - Manuel Miranda was announced as the voice of Fenton Crackshell / Gizmoduck. The character was changed to being Latino due to Lin - Manuel 's heritage and because Angones felt that there were not enough positive Latino superheroes. In June, more cast members, including Tony Anselmo reprising his role as Donald Duck, were announced, and during the 2017 San Diego Comic Con, Disney announced that Darkwing Duck would also make an appearance in the TV series. The art style of the show is heavily influenced not just by Carl Barks ' original Uncle Scrooge comics, but also some of Barks ' paintings. The theme song, written by Mark Mueller for the 1987 series, was re-recorded for the 2017 reboot. It was arranged by Michael `` Smidi '' Smithand and TJ Stafford and sung by Felicia Barton.
