Blatherin Blatherskites!! I remember as a child actually getting disappointed if I didn't hear these words while watching DuckTales. This was the call to arms of Duckburg's resident superhero Gizmoduck, the secret alter ego of Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera, Scrooge Mcduck's accountant. The Wrap reports however, that this time around he will spend his days as an intern for Scrooge's personal mad scientist Gyro Gearloose. This actually makes sense, as it probably makes for an easier transition, considering Gyro Gearloose was the original creator of the Gizmoduck suit in th first place. Disney has announced that Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of Broadway's Hamilton as well as a key in the creation of the soundtrack to Moana, will be voicing Duckburg's version of Robocop. He will be joining the already star-studded cast that includes, David Tennant (Scrooge McDuck), Danny Pudi (Huey), Ben Schwartz (Dewey) Bobby Moynihan (Louie) Kate Micucci (Webby Vanderquack), Toks Olagundoye (Miss Beakley) and Beck Bennett (Launchpad McQuack). They honestly could have annouced anyone in this role, and not to take anything away from Lin-Manuel Miranda, but I probably wouldn't have cared. The big news for me is the fact that Gizmoduck is included in the first place. DuckTales played a really big part in my childhood. So much so I've introduced my daughters to it via power of DVD, and they love it too. I not only hope they can do this justice, I hope it's so much so that Talespin & Rescue Ranger reboots are quick to follow. Is there anyone else out there as excited as I am about this new DuckTales? If so put your favorite character in the comments, like and share.
