Line 4:
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]]'', 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]]''), 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]]).
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.
