==Trivia==
*This is the first time since Quack Pack that Huey, Dewey, and Louie have separate physical appearances, distinct personalities and different voice actors.
*Many aspects of the show's design are based on works by Carl Barks, including the original comics.
*Unlike most of their animated appearances and like the classic comics, the duck characters have white sclerae.
*Tony Anselmo, Corey Burton, Tress MacNeille, Michael Bell, Jim Cummings, Russi Taylor, and Rob Paulsen act as returning cast members from the original series. Anselmo and Burton reprise their roles as Donald Duck and Ludwig Von Drake, while Taylor, Paulsen, and MacNeille's roles from the original series (Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby, Gladstone Gander, and Quackfaster) have been recast while Bell's original roles were minor, and the actors provide new character voices as Jim Starling/Negaduck, a younger version of Donald Duck, Gibbous, and Daisy Duck (whom MacNeille has been voicing since 1999), and Quackerjack. 
*Co-producer Frank Angones wanted to include Mickey Mouse in the series, but the character has been barred from appearing by Disney executives in-person.Mickey Mouse in 2017's DuckTales Ironically, a reference to the character was featured in the episode "Moonvasion" where he was referred to as "Melon".
*While the television movie premiered in August, the actual series premiered on the same month the original series premiered in 1987.
**Not counting the day, this also coincides with the 30th anniversary of the original series.
*This series marks the animated debuts of Fethry Duck, John D. Rockerduck, Jeeves, Neighbor Jones, Bombie the Zombie, and the nephews' mother, Della Duck.
*Early promo art of the series envisioned Dewey and Webby wearing different clothes, with Dewey having a single shirt with two different shades of blue, and Webby wearing a pink dress similar to the original Disney Afternoon series.
