That may not have been "the Huey episode" but I think it served as a pretty good introduction for him regardless.

nine-gear crow posted:I watched the first few minutes out of curiosity and it's actually the dude talking about how there's some kind of Cartoon Network schedule fuckery going on behind the scenes w/r/t the episode release order. Apparently there was supposed to be a Huey-centric episode between Day Trip of Doom and the Great Dime Chase so that the first three episodes after the pilot would have been a Webby-centered one, a Huey-centered one, then a Dewey/Louie-centered so all four kids got some character development before the main arc of the season kicked off. That alleged Huey episode has been shunted off to god knows where now, at least according to this dude and his "inside" sources, and it's basically loving with the rest of the show as a result. Ah, well that's non-crazy enough even the thread's been talking about it. The source is social media accounts (twitter, tumblr, reddit) of some of the people behind the snow. They originally made a Huey spotlight episode that was supposed to air early on, but it got pushed back until December because it has snow in it, so Disney decided to use it as a "Holiday episode." The result, as we've seen, is a kind of Huey-light experience early on in the show. I wasn't able to really pin down his character until Terror of the Terra-Firmians.

The Simpsons, Hey Arnold, Spongebob, etc. Fillmore just took it to its logical extreme and did it better than anyone else.

counterfeitsaint posted:Launchpad imitating Donald was amazing. Scrooge said that he rebuilt the castle, so I assume the timeline goes something like McDuck clan has the castle for hundreds of years -> McDucks fall on hard times, castle falls into disrepair -> Some time between Dirty Dingus McDuck finding the Templar treasure and the birth of Scrooge, the family can no longer afford living expenses in the castle and has to move out (but still, I guess, technically owns the land, but can't sell it or do anything productive with it?) -> Scrooge gets rich, rebuilds the castle, accidentally grants his parents immortality.

Mylan posted:Is it true that it's just Mickey and Chip & Dale that are off the table? Because I'd love to see Goofy interact with Launchpad. They've been given permission to use any Disney Afternoon properties they want except for Rescue Rangers (because they're making a live action film of it, barf). So we could very well get the Goof Troop version of Goofy. Plus, Spoonerville's already received a mention in the show.

Andrew_1985 posted:Loved the finale, the only part I wasn't happy with was the retcon of Lena from a niece to a shadow of Magica who became a person? I'm assuming they did that so they could get away with 'offing' a child character for a while. They could have kept her as Magica's niece who got turned into a shadow then destroyed? Well, (and I'm not using spoiler tags cause the episode's already aired) according to Beakley, Magica has been an enemy of the McDuck Clan for hundreds of years, which means she's old enough that she couldn't possibly have any living nieces unless said niece is also affected by magical life extension poo poo. I don't think Lena being her shadow instead of her niece is a "retcon," rather, I think Lena just called her an aunt because she was grasping for any kind of familial relation.

Making Scrooge totally obsessed with adventure as his primary motivation, rather than wealth, is probably the only way to make the character widely sympathetic in today's sociopolitical climate.

Das Boo posted:I think it's neat they ended up going with the South African background. It's tremendously touchy given the history of colonialism and exploitation and I'm interested to see how they work with it in the future. Not doing it at all would've been the safe route, so there must be a lot of consideration put into tackling it. Yeah I doubt they'll ever do as deep a dive into Glomgold's origins as they did in this episode, unless it's after he left South Africa. It'd be tough and probably offensive to focus too much on South Africa in that era without addressing Apartheid, and I can't imagine this Disney Channel show would want to do an Apartheid episode.

Disney was hired by the US government during WW2 to make the original movie as a sort of "goodwill package" to Latin America, to reinforce American culture there against a perceived creeping Nazi influence.

Usually Christmas episodes are silly fluff, even in shows with significant continuity, but here they managed to do some stuff that surprised us and tied it in to the myth arc. It actually makes sense for a show with such a strong theme of family to make its Christmas episode actually important.

I think they were only explicitly given permission to use characters and settings from Disney Afternoon (minus Chip and Dale), and we can't assume they have permission for other Disney properties. I remember Alex Hirsch said on twitter once that they wanted to include a Star Wars reference at one point but Disney's lawyers said no. Even though Disney owns Star Wars.

His entire existence up until this point has been a constant stream of suffering and humiliation, dreaming of better things only brings more pain so why bother? Yeah the one time he allowed himself to even wish for something other than constant danger and turmoil just led to another dangerous adventure that nearly killed his family.

This episode was really good and surprisingly consequential for what the synopsis promised. One thing that occurred to me when I was watching this (that I'm sure has come up in this show before before but had never been quite as prominent as in this episode) is how the Japanese characters weren't all one species and how commendable that is. A lot of media featuring fantasy races or aliens or anthropomorphic characters falls into this trap where white-coded or American-coded characters can be a variety of species but stand-ins for other real-world races or cultures are represented as being all one species, which has some unfortunate most-likely-unintentionally racist implications. But the streets of Tokyolk were as diverse in species as the streets of Duckburg. So they did a good job by sticking with their schema of "humans = a variety of animal species" rather than deciding to make all the Japanese characters shibas or something like that.

ikanreed posted:I think a lot of the art and production of this kind of show can be done(albiet probably less efficiently) by people working at home. I don't think Disney has furloughed all the people who make Duck Tales. Probably. I don't see any reason why it should be delayed until the disease has completely receded. In a typical television animation production schedule, the voice acting is one of the first things to get done, and the actual animation part takes months. There's a strong chance the voices for the next batch of episodes were done before covid lockdowns started. Also, even before covid, it was pretty common for voice actors to have a passable home studio, now it's probably near-universal.
