Short'''''Quack Pack''''' was a short-Lived 1996 Disney Afternoon show featuring [[Donald Duck]], his girlfriend Daisy, and his now-grown nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and his girlfriend Daisy. The three nephews are now portrayed as teenagers, and much less interchangeable than in previous depictions: as might be expected by the rules of [[Chromatic Arrangement]], Huey is depicted as the leader, Dewey is depicted as the tech-whiz, and Louie is depicted as the slightly-dim jock.
 
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 [[Nightmare Fuel (Disney film)|Nightmare Fuel]] [[Nightmare Fuel]]).
 
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?"

* [[The Cameo]]: In the episode ''Pride comes before the fall guy'' the boys get a packet of famous villianvillain cards. The villianvillain on the box is [[The Great Mouse Detective|Professor Ratigan]].
* [[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.
