Short-Lived 1996 Disney Afternoon show featuring [[Donald Duck]], 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]]).

** 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!
