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 ''[[Duck Tales]]'', 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 ''[[Duck Tales]]''), 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)|Nightmare Fuel]] [[Nightmare Fuel]]).
Line 35:
* [[Green Around the Gills]]: In "Can't Take A Yolk", Huey, Dewey and Louie's faces turn green after getting motion sickness from an amusement park ride.
** 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 ItsIt'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 42:
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Several, usually of the kind with characters pointing out how over the top things have gotten, though one episode they have a more direct one. The nephews have developed superpowers thanks to one of Ludwig Von Drake's inventions. Things get severely out of hand, until the boys have accidentally destroyed EVERYTHING IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, with one exception: Von Drake's lab. Naturally, he's invented a way to fix everything. Dewey is quick to point out how incredibly convenient this is.
* [[Lions and Tigers And Humans Oh My]]
* [[Non -Mammal Mammaries]]: Daisy Duck has cleavage.
* [[The Not -So -Harmless Punishment]]: Aliens threaten Donald with twenty lashes with a wet noodle. He laughs it off and tells them to make it fifty. Turns out the "noodle" is a giant, living, carnivorous worm.
* [[Panty Shot]]: There have been a few of these in this:
** In "Pardon My Molecules", after Donald, Daisy and the nephews first arrive in a desert to set up camp, when Daisy moves as she marvels and takes in the sights while talking about getting the next story break for her and Donald's news show, the hem of her pink dress lifts slightly in a breezy draft caused by her movement, revealing her frilly unmentionables (which are actually similar to bloomers or pantalets).
