The original animated classic aired from 1987-1990 and tracked the adventures of the incredibly wealthy Scrooge McDuck and his copilot Launchpad McQuack (the star of Disney's Darkwing Duck). McDuck's great-nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie, were left in his care by their uncle Donald and also figured heavily into the action.
Like all the shows of the Disney Afternoon, it had an incredibly catchy theme song, which is referenced in the teaser above. The original, which all '90s kids will remember, was written by Mark Mueller, a two-time Emmy-nominee who also wrote the stunner for Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.
