Seemed almost designed to inspire cries of [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] from Disney purists, fans of the earlier ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'', and fans of [[Carl Barks|the classic comics]], the inhabitants of Duckburg are now (save Donald, Daisy and the nephews) entirely human, the nephews speak with regular voices (as opposed the the slightly "quacky" voices of ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]''), the costumes have been redesigned to be [[Totally Radical]] ([[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal|and to include pants]]), and Daisy and Donald now work as reporter and cameraman for a TV show entitled ''What in the World''. Save for the occasional visit by Ludwig Von Drake (and in one episode, [[Shout-Out|a cameo by Pluto]]), no other character of the Duck Universe appears. Some fans argue that the producers intentionally filled the world with humans in order to separate the show's universe from that of ''Ducktales'' and ''Darkwing Duck'', which did not share Quack Pack's over-the-top wacky tone.
As the show focuses on Donald and Co., rather than Scrooge, the tone is a bit more slapstick in nature, though the stories presented are generally of the [[Carl Barks]] and [[Don Rosa]] type adventures the characters are known for (and, of course, a good dash of
Lasted for a single season of 39 episodes, most of which weren't seen until the show was rebroadcast on [[Toon Disney]]. Apparently has fallen into [[Canon Discontinuity]], as depictions of Huey, Dewey and Louie have reverted to their classic form in future Disney productions (unlike the aging of [[Goof Troop|Max Goof]]). However, the teen depictions of the trio from this series ''did'' make a cameo in the short comic story "Whatever Happened to Uncle Scrooge?"

* [[Animated Shows]]
* [[Barefoot Cartoon
* [[Bear Trap Bed]]
* [[The Cameo]]: In the episode ''Pride comes before the fall guy'' the boys get a packet of famous
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: Some would argue it was this from the start, since previous animated duck universe shows had no humans in them (and in fact, when [[Darkwing Duck]] was transported to another dimension and saw humans for the first time, he was ''horrified'', referring to them as "hideous, beakless mutants."
** It's possibly an [[Alternate Universe]] from the main line.
* [[Chromatic Arrangement]]
* [[Continuity Nod]]: One episode has Donald forced to serve one more day in the Navy (which he had been part of during ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'').
* [[Cool Plane]]: [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|"The Mega Death-wing of Doom!"]]
* [[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: Averted in one episode; Gwumpki invents something called "Tasty Paste", a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|gooey, slightly chunky paste]] that looks questionable, but tastes fantastic. The boys buy the recipe and the rights to sell it from Gwumpki, turning it into a massive corporate empire until an industrial accident turns the stuff into a giant kaiju. Then the boys wake up. Just when they think it was [[All Just a Dream]], Gwumpki offers them a taste of his latest creation: Tasty Paste!
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Nigel Nightshade - greatest thief in the world - who has a plan, backup plan, con, or escape for pretty much every situation he finds himself in. Case in point, after he steals a valuable artifact and the heroes bust in on him gloating at his home, he reveals what looked like the artifact was actually made of chocolate, just on the off chance someone walked in while he was holding it.
Line 36:
** In "The Really Mighty Ducks", a pilot turns green not only in the face, but his hands are seen green as well, from airsickness.
* [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: Averted: The nephews actually wear PANTS in this series. Donald still remains half-dressed, though (although he has traded in his sailor suit for a Hawaiian shirt.)
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The voice of [[Rugrats|Tommy]] [[All Grown Up!|Pickles]] can be heard as Louie (and occasionally one of the others when the animators and voice actors miscommunicate).
* [[Hot Scoop]]: Daisy Duck. No, really. She gets hit on by quite a large number of male characters in this series.
* [[Hulk Speak]]: [[Dumb Muscle|CLAW SMASH]] [[The Brute|AND MASH!]]
Line 50:
** In "Heavy Dental", Huey is watching three cheerleaders from a stadium entrance to the field and they're seen waving their pompoms and jumping, which causes their close-fitted mini-skirts to lift slightly, revealing peeks of their blue panties. Huey then uses his dental head gear to control the cheerleaders.
** Averted with Daisy in "Koi Story" by [[Going Commando|wearing none]]. See one of the tropes above this for more info.
* [[Pluto Is Expendable]]: One episode was actually about Donald becoming planet-sized and smashing Pluto to pieces because that's where his nephews (all pretending to be superheroes) are hiding. The episode also had a brief cameo of the "[[Classic Disney Shorts Pluto|other !]]" Pluto.
* [[Show Within the Show]]: ''What in the World''.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Kent Powers.
