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 ''[[
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 Dis Continuity]], as depictions of Huey, Dewey and Louie have reverted to their classic form in future Disney productions (unlike the aging of [[Goof Troop

=== Tropes: ===
Line 14:
* [[Barefoot Cartoon Animals]]: The nephews.
* [[Bear Trap Bed]]
* [[The Cameo]]: In the episode ''Pride comes before the fall guy'' the boys get a packet of famous villian cards. The villian on the box is [[The Great Mouse Detective
* [[Canon Dis Continuity]]: 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 ''[[
* [[Cool Plane]]: [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|"The Mega Death-wing of Doom!"]]
<!-- %% Crowning Moments don't go here. -->
* [[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: Averted in one episode; Gwumpki invents something called "Tasty Paste", a [[Exactly What It Says
* [[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.
* [[Crossover Punchline]]: In the episode ''The Real Mighty Ducks''. "Quick! To [[Classic Disney Shorts|Pluto!]]"
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Pretty much all of the characters trade off on this, even Donald, though Daisy has it most consistently. Most episodes have at least one of the nephews (usually Louie) be more levelheaded than the rest and spend the episode being snarky about things. Often combined with [[Aside Glance]], with the characters turning to the camera and flatly snarking about what's going on.
* [[Distracted
* [[Dogfaces]]: In "All Hands on Duck."
* [[Dressing
* [[Era Specific Personality]]: When hit with a De-Aging Ray, Donald reverts to each of his earlier models.
* [[Expy]]: Donald's cousin Mel appears in one episode and looks, sounds, and acts like [[Darkwing Duck|Herb Muddlefoot]].
Line 41:
* [[Intrepid Reporter]]: Daisy.
* [[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
* [[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.
