Focusing on Donald being a father-figure for the boys rather than just their Uncle Donald was one of the best decisions the creators of this show ever made.
You say that. Then the real dad comes and the kid calls them dad. Or the mother takes off with her kids that were never really yours. Kids are mad and say you're not the real dad. No. Blood does in fact make you the dad for most people. :p
@@JoybuzzerX In my family, that's not the case. You see, I'm adopted. And furthermore, I think the boys would say, "Who are you?" if their bio-dad showed up.
@@salvadorenoify I wasn't saying as far as shipping is concerned. In fact, I most certainly wouldn't. But Donald is more the boys' dad than any other male, despite being their uncle. He raised them on his own, and did a good job of it. He may be their biological uncle, but he's also the duck that raised those boys and has therefore earned the title of their true father.
One of the creators of the show has a theory that the reason the boys weren't named Jet, Turbo, and Rebel is that a series of accidents occurred and the nurse at the hospital mistakenly thought Donald was naming the triplets Huey, Dewey, and Louie when in fact he was yelling "PHOOEY! PHOOEY! PHOOEY!" in response to said accidents.
This is definitely one of Donald's most lovable traits. For all of his faults, Donald has always (in every incarnation) genuinely and deeply loved his nephews.
Donald has always loved his nephews and saw them as his sons. This series was the first time they really put a lot of emphasis on it. Even though he may not show it that much I even felt Scrooge saw Donald and Della as a son and daughter since it seems like he raised them for a long time. This is assuming that Quackmore and Hortense died when Donald and Della were kids.
What's weird is that if you watch the newer Three Caballeros cartoon from a few years ago, Daisy has 3 nieces. May, April and June (I know it's not in calendar order, but that's how they always address themselves in the show)
They even got him a #1 Uncle trophy for fathers day in the comics And I'm not sure if this was a Fathers Day special but in the comics as well they got him a medal with the acronym U.N.C.A D.O.N.A.L.D Which spelled out how much of a good dad he was to them and it was so cute 😭
What Ever Happened To Donald Duck is one of my favorite episodes and always will be. He didn't want his anger issues affecting the boy's negatively, to the point that he was willing to spend money on therapy to ensure that would never happen. I've never really seen a kids cartoon portray that before in a father figure character. Not only that, but he also suddenly became a single father to triplets after losing his sister, and yet he still did everything in his power to provide and look after them the best he could. Della might be their biological mom, but they're Donald's sons.
I honestly was never a huge fan of Donald Duck. He had some funny moments, but I didn’t find him to be too pleasant with how he’s almost always angry. However, I LOVE the way he’s portrayed in the Ducktales reboot! I love how much emphasis is put into him being a good uncle/father figure, and he’s had some adorkable moments. Like, showing pictures of his nephews was so cute! I especially love him channeling his anger toward protecting his loved ones. I have more respect for this character now thanks to the reboot.
I say the same thing about Donsy, the Donald and Daisy ship. I always hated their relationship because in almost every portrayal, it always seemed unhealthy and borderline toxic. But the reboot changed my mind about it, and i love Donsy now, so danged wholesome and adorable. Just goes to show how amazing this reboot is 😁
I couldn't find it but I remember a fanart where the young charaters talking about their father. Webby talking about Scrooge, Gosylen talking about Darkwing and Launchpad, Lena and Violet talking about their two dads, BOYD thinking about having multiple fathers, and Huey, Dewey, Louie, May, and June responding to Donald as thier dad. It had me thinking about how Donald stepped up to be a dad and various ways of family, love, and bonds beyond traditional which I love about the recent Ducktales show. Many love Goofy as a dad and the recent show has me thinking how great Donald was as a caring dad.
I 100% agree. When I was little my parents had a divorce and I end up with my dad. Only saw my mom maybe twice a year. My dad was with me every step of the way. And every year I spent Mother’s Day with my dad. And you did this so close to it. This makes the holiday special to me. Thank you for doing this.
All summized to: Donald put the most heart, sweat, and tears into keeping his boys safe. Went to anger therapy, kept them away from the same person who created the rocket that got her lost, then decided to repair his family, and then save his boys from EVERY harm!!! Greatest father figure Disney ever made!!
As the first season progressed he started to be more lenient and less protective knowing that he couldn’t protect the boys forever. The best he could do was always give them his love and support. Donald may be filled with bad luck and rage on the outside but on the inside he is kind of sensitive and very loving and caring for his family.
I wonder if the opposite applies to Webby and Scrooge. Webby is biologically related to Scrooge but he didn't raise her as a daughter at all. And then there's that saying "blood doesn't make you family."
It's fun how you bring that up because the producers said they literally addressed it in "the secret files of agent 22" and said "if you rewatch it, its basically a father and daughter getting to know eachother" I kinda see it as a child who was raised by their mother but always asked about their dad and wanted to meet him, which led to her calling him uncle scrooge at the end. I'm not going to act like "they always had a deep connection deep down" because realistically, webby just found him an interesting person and scrooge liked having her around as a skillful cheerleader (let's be honest) but their relationship did grow to a level of trust that was special, i always made a joke that out of all the kids, webby was scrooge's favorite, which wasn't even funny because of the ending
It is appropriate that you are posting this near Mother's Day (in the US) because not only was Donald uncle to the boys, he was their father and their MOTHER! Now that Della has returned and learned how to mother her own children, Donald has a new family to raise with Daisy :) He will be awesome with May and June!
I reall hope ducktales gets a prequel or a spinoff. There are so many things that could happen, a spinoff about donald, a prequel about della and Donald and their adventures with scrooge or just one with scrooge. There are so many things that could happen
I always felt like you can do a prequel primarily focusing on Donald and Della’s lives and adventures with Scrooge in their younger days. Maybe even includes tear jerking moments of them coping with the death of their parents. I have a feeling they were orphaned at a young age cause even based on the comics it seems like they were orphaned at a young age. I would call the series “Tales of the Duck Twins”. Starring: Tony Anselmo as Donald Duck Christina Vee as Young Donald Duck Paget Brewster as Young/Adult Della Duck David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck Toks Olagundoye as Bentina Beakley David Kaye as Duckworth Jeff Bennett as Quackmore Duck Kelly Macdonald as Hortense McDuck Corey Burton as Ludwig Von Drake Michelle Gomez as Matilda McDuck
Donald was a hero. He left that life to raise the books. And Goofy showed he was a good dad in the Goof Troop tv series, the movie was about their last day before Max went to college. About Goofy accepting the Max is a man now
It would be cool if there was a crossover in Donald and Goofy interacting with each other when the triplets are toddlers and Max is probably 10 or 11. I assume Max is like 6-8 years older years older than Huey, Dewey and Louie. Maybe Goofy helps Donald in giving him tips in raising a child as a single parent. In my honest opinion, the older you get, A Goofy Movie just gets better. That film ages like wine. It displays Goofy as more than your comic relief character and how he is trying to come to terms with Max growing up and wanting more independence. And Max understands that he doesn’t need to lie to his father about what he wants and his father will always be a part of his life no matter how old he is.
I couldn’t agree more Donald a amazing parent/guardian he’s totally earned it the triplets, webby and may and June are in very good hands with Donald and in my opinion Donald earns father of the year
i think the finale should have been like this: after finding their father, they realize he was dead all along. But then they realized they had a father all the time: donald duck
That plot has been used before but at the same time it might’ve been a little dark for Disney. Kind of similar how they never showed what happened to Donald and Della’s parents. Most presume they died when the Duck Twins were kids.
@@Christopher_Woods Both amphibia and owl house have dead parents that are talked about on screen and they're Disney shows, I don't think that avoiding talking about Donald parents have anything to do with them being dead
I’m glad that this is the route they took, and the same route Isaac took. I was worried that he was gonna go the Sweet Home Alabama. He’s definitely a good parent figure, and his pattern made sense. He didn’t want to lose them, like he lost Della, and he disagreed with Scrooge because of the risks. But he even worked past that pattern! The writers gave Donald a full arc, and I love that. They gave him a complex and solid character arc, and that... honestly is great.
I agree Donald is their true father because he has raised them and probably loves them more than anyone so when he calls them his kids he has a right to. Because you did a video on the relationships of Daisy and Donald and Scrooge and Goldie, can you please do a video explaining Gandra and Fenton's relationship or Gandra's backstory?
Not all great parents have to be biologically related to their kid. This series put more emphasis on found families. I bet Scrooge even saw Donald and Della as a son and daughter through all the time they spent together. Very likely he raised them from a young age assuming Quackmore and Hortense died when they were kids.
This incarnation of DuckTales was absolutely incredible and could very well be one of the top 5 kid based shows of this century keep in mind Avatar exists
As someone who had an absent birth father in their early life, I agree with this, I never consider my dad to be my step dad, sometimes I’ll say he’s technically my adoptive father, but I never say he’s technically my step father, he’s my father through and through, he raised me, supported me, and is still helping to make me into the man I am now, I don’t always see eye to eye with him sometimes, but I know his heart is in the right place, he wants the best for me, and I appreciate him for everything he’s done in my life
Everyone keeps saying that they want DuckTales to continue in some way; Season 4, spinoffs Darkwing Duck, etc. I personally want to see a prequel TV series focusing on Huey, Dewey, Louie and Donald's lives before they moved into McDuck Manor. They're my 4 favorite characters in the reboot and I feel like there's a lot that can be explored through their relationships in a more grounded setting despite the lack of adventuring.
Yeah, I would also really like a prequel about della and Donald and their adventures though a prequel about scrooge would also ve great and your idea is also great
I agree w this & the other comment, but I also wouldn't mind a sequel that goes into the future as Donald and Daisy have their own kid(s) and they have their adventures with their older cousins. As far as this continuity goes, I'm glad it ended where it did, leaving fans wanting more. If we get a one off movie, I'd be down for it. I do think there's at least room for that, especially when the original series had a movie that hot a theatrical release. I mean, Disney+ is right there 🤷♀️
OP, I'm totally with you on this idea. I would totally loved a 45 minutes or so prequel movie focused on the triplets being chaotic in a fairly normal life with Donald raising them
I agree with you. Honestly.....I think we would just be disappointed and mad if anybody BUT Donald was the boys' father now. And to me, it almost seems like there's a REASON that the father's face is always covered up in the family tree. Almost like he was an old boyfriend and things went badly between him and Della and she scribbled over his face with a marker like a teenager does when she breaks up with her boyfriend to literally erase him from the picture and forget about him. I LOVED what they did in the new series in introducing Della as their mother. I really liked her character and I respected her determination to get back to her sons after being trapped on the moon. She was beautiful and brave and badass and she clearly loved her children and her family. But for all intents and purposes, Donald IS the boys' father. He loves them. He has protected them. He has raised them up since they were eggs, according to the photos. He was the one who sang them to sleep at night. He was the one who taught them all the things that a father teaches his sons. He's the one who is always there (along with Scrooge and Della) to get the children out of trouble. He may be a bit overly protective and temperamental, but he would do anything for the boys. And another thing....when Della came back, and she was told they were named "Huey, Dewey and Louie", she got mad and said they were SUPPOSED to be named "Jet, Turbo and Rebel" and that she TOLD DONALD that's what the names were and even wrote the names down in case no one understood him. Wouldn't she have told their FATHER that information if she wasn't back from the moon.....if there was a father still in the picture? Wouldn't that be something a FATHER would do, rather than an UNCLE? Naming the children? So to me, that's a hint that maybe she entrusted her sons to Donald, knowing that he would love them and take care of them as their father if anything happened to her on her adventure. In my humble opinion, DNA makes you a father......but LOVE makes you a Daddy. Donald is DEFINITELY the Daddy in my book.
I couldn't agree more. Donald Duck has been a wonderful father figure to his nephews. And the show ends with him taking in May and June to be his new daughters. If he could raise three boys by himself for a decade without getting himself committed, then two daughters should be no problem whatsoever, right? Right?
It’s quite telling how in all three seasons, the boys never once asked what happened to their father. As far as the boys are concerned, they’ve always had one in their Uncle Donald.
If they ever did a movie like between the Last Adventure and before Donald and Daisy go out on their big worldwide excursion. The film could close out with the triplets admitting to Donald that they never asked about their biological father cause they always saw him as that person. “You’re more than our uncle to us, you’ve become our father and that will never change.” Donald would do choke up if he heard those comments. All he ever wanted was to be a good parent to his boys.
Donald Duck is a great father he has been with Huey Dewey and Louie since they were born no matter how many times his lose temper he will always protect his nephews from any danger
Even dating to the classic shorts most of his bad luck is just over simple everyday things and having a hard time getting it done due to obstacles getting in the way.
Like how Jean Valjean became Cosette’s father when he adopted her from the awful Thenardeirs when Fantine her mother gave her to his keeping right before she died
Anyone who has or had a good father figure in their life whether it be family or stepfamily or someone else can agree to this video wholeheartedly magically people father figures 😊
Yes, I agree with you 100%, Issac. I’ve always admired Donald for being an awesome dad. It makes me think of just how awesome my dad is even though he doesn’t realize just how special and important he is to me. And I’ve always admired my dad because he always knows how to make me laugh and put a smile on my face even after my mom passed away in 2016. He and I are like two peas in a pod. We have a very strong relationship and a strong bond.
I love how he practically adopted May and June at the end, such a precious family, he's going to be an awesome father to the girls just like he was to the boys❤️❤️
Donald has ALWAYS beeny favorite of the golden trio (Mickey, Donald and Goofy), and I love how more modern depections show him getting his MUCH NEEDED time in the spotlight!
One of my favorite quotes from a unknown person “Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what.”
Donald Duck is more of a Father then an Uncle towards his Nephews, ever since this Quackful show came on back in 2017 I have always wanted to know who their father was, but it turns out they already have a father and he may not be their actual father but he's twice the father and ten times better than their old man probably was or ever will be,
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was gonna go in a direction that is wrong on so many levels (Sweet home alabama) but it turned out to be wholesome thankfully.
Wow... another great video!! I thought Donald was a great parental figure in their life. It makes a lot of sense that he is their part time father. Could you please do a video about Anna and Kristoff’s or Rapunzel and Flynn’s full love story?? Love your videos!! ❤️🐣💙🐣💚🐣
I loved this video! 😄 Ever since the old cartoons, I always saw Donald as the boys' father because he raised them with his own blood, sweat and tears. 💖 This show was beautiful in every aspect and I loved how it portrayed the relationships. Indeed, Donald is Huey, Dewey and Louie's true father. 👏
A little more thought... being an uncle and dad are very blurred with Scrooge and Donald. You could see a lot of a father-daughter bond when Scrooge was welcoming Della back home after she showed up back from the moon. Can you picture when the triplets grow up and at least of them gets married and starts having kids? I can't help but think the young uncles will be frequent visitors. Plus the older ones will definitely want to meet the new babies as they come.
I always envisioned that Donald and Della’s parents died when the twins were children and Scrooge took them in to raise the two of them. Over time he began to see the Duck Twins as the son and daughter he never had. Of course before he found out Webby was his daughter.
@@Christopher_Woods yeah I've come to see that as well, plus in nearly all the fanfics I've read focusing on them goes with their parents parents dead with Scrooge adopting/taking them in.
@@bethanysmith5856 I think that is mostly due to the case that it looks like they’ve been living with Scrooge for a long time. Plus in the comics they weren’t raised by their parents. The were raised by their paternal grandmother, Elvira Coot aka Grandma Duck.
@@Christopher_Woods yeah I've heard about that. There's some of the fics where it seems like Grandma and Scrooge had joint custody from how much they were going back and forth between them. A few where he raised them but they had plenty of visits to Grandma's And a few where she had them at the start along with Gladstone but fell on hard times and he took them in for her, Gladstone went back to the farm due to his luck and Scrooge not getting along.
I always felt like the big message throughout the Ducktales reboot was that family isn’t always the ones you’re biologically related but the ones that are the most committed and love you every day. I wonder that if Quackmore and Hortense are dead and if so died when Donald and Della were kids since if you go by the comics it doesn’t seem like they were raised by their parents. It’s possible Scrooge looked after them as they grew up and even saw Donald and Della as like his own son and daughter before Webby was cloned. Likely one reason he went out of his way to find Della because he wanted his surrogate daughter back and more or so to do it for Donald to bring back his sister. Once Bradford and his other board of directors pulled the plug on the search parties that’s when Scrooge turned into a miser for 10 years.
I think that the fact that Della never mentioned a partner or cared about a left behind past love, I sort of think she just intentionally became a single parent via a donor so she could have children and they would carry on the genetic family line. I think that it sort of reflects in that the triplets always knew they had a mom, that she was missing but she existed... yet we never hear or learn anything about their father almost like he was not a real part of the family. I also think it might be the case since Sam King seemed to want Penumbra and Della to become a couple and she drew pictures of Della with the LGBT flag.
@@dirtandsilkk The 2017 cartoon referenced that comic scene, but applied it to what Donald and Della did to their dad when they were little, only it's never said that anyone's dad died from firecrackers being popped under their chair, I think that would be too dark. The father probably just got really angry at them and that's why the parents sent them away, like it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I had this idea and wished they used it in the series’s that the triplets father was a worker for FOWL. Della didn’t find out until she was pregnant with Huey, Dewey and Louie. Once that happened she had the motivation to raise her kids as a single mother. Since FOWL knew she had the motivation to go to space that set up the idea for them to send the note to Della about the Spear of Selene and once she’s gone they can capture the eggs and the boys to be raised by FOWL. But before could be done Donald already took the eggs. Donald is likely the strongest fighter of the three so they had to wait for the right moment to strike. Too bad that didn’t work cause I think that really could’ve emphasized more on how Donald was the true father of Huey, Dewey and Louie. And putting more emphasis on the quote. “He may have been your father, but he wasn’t your daddy”.
Awesome video and I f it helps I got a future story idea of the Duck family meeting the father of the boys , and have Donald and Mr. Duck encounter each other.
@jf k I like to think that he use to work for F.O.W.L but he had a change of heart after meeting Della and when she found out , they had a falling out, and when he heard about The Spear of Selene, he just went underground.
To be honest, I agree with you. From what we saw in this version of DuckTales and other media, he's been the main parent and father figure for the boys. In a few episodes of Quack Pack, he gave up some things he loved and even risked his own life (in a comical way) through booby traps to save his nephews.
Have you been listening to the Ducktales podcast? It's right here on TH-cam, it's A podcast hosted by Huey, it takes place after the finale, and it's really Disney XD and the same voice actors. So I think you should check it out if you haven't
family isn't about blood. it's about whether they care for you, whether they try to be their best selves for you, whether they're willing to make some sacrifices for you, whether they love you. Donald Duck cares for his nephews, he tries to be his best self for them, he makes SO many sacrifices for them, and of course he loves them. he is their true father, even if he isn't the biological one.
Whenever I see a post on Facebook about goofy being a great father I always point out all the things that Donald Duck did. Like take care of his sister’s kids as if they were his
If the biological father is ever brought to light. I will always think of this quote. “He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn’t your daddy" - Yandu
He may be the triplets uncle, but Donald took on the responsibility of raising them. He's their father figure.
To quote Yondu: he may be your father but he ain’t your daddy
@@J_Dos_S 😂
@@J_Dos_S 😆
Yeah You gotta be clearer Isaac
@@MasterofJuKBWaaS what mean he is being clear probably understand what he saying
Focusing on Donald being a father-figure for the boys rather than just their Uncle Donald was one of the best decisions the creators of this show ever made.
They had a beautiful relationship as father-son in quackpack
Ikr I loved it
He's always been just that tho, nothing new
As long as you're not saying that Della and Donald had the kids I'm fine with it
*Home Sweet Alabama*
He’s right, Donald and Della are twin brother and sister and it was only Della who have kids.
I love watching game of thrones but I really don't think Disney would have gone that far to make Della and Donald have relations
I think Della just used magic to have the boys, since NO ONE ever mentions a dad figure. At least in the reboot.
@@fixedfunshow hmm, yeah. Or they were cloned.
Blood doesn’t make a dad; caring and love does. Donald is their uncle, but he’s their dad in every way that matters.
Not according to the law xD
You say that. Then the real dad comes and the kid calls them dad. Or the mother takes off with her kids that were never really yours. Kids are mad and say you're not the real dad.
No. Blood does in fact make you the dad for most people. :p
@@JoybuzzerX In my family, that's not the case. You see, I'm adopted. And furthermore, I think the boys would say, "Who are you?" if their bio-dad showed up.

Basically this show did for Donald what Goof Troop and the movies did for Goofy, made him a very caring father
Donald Duck is a shinnying example of a father figure. Not a lot of them exist in the Disney universe, but Donald is one of them.
Not a lot but at least there’s also goofy
@@HomeRunChess Yeah goofy is another great example.
And he's still alive, despite being a Disney 'parent'.

May and June can count themselves very lucky that Donald decided to adopt them and raise them together with Daisy at his side.

Ikr
Nearly every single Father's day Special Disney ever made usually involved Huey, Dewey, and Louie getting Donald a present or something.
They even got him a #1 Uncle trophy for fathers day in the comics
And I'm not sure if this was a Fathers Day special but in the comics as well they got him a medal with the acronym U.N.C.A D.O.N.A.L.D
Which spelled out how much of a good dad he was to them and it was so cute 😭
What Ever Happened To Donald Duck is one of my favorite episodes and always will be.

I don’t think Della would disagree that Donald is as much of a parent to them as she is.
Y'all, Donald is a hero. He sings songs that his sister wrote, he's really protective, it's just so sweet!🥲😄
Sounds like Yondu.

You should give QuackPack other opportunity. Is a great example of Donald being a good parent. Same with Daisy.
@@santosic we didn't get to see the relationship so much to see development. I like them better (Donsy) at quackpack and WWMM. A stable couple.
Also there’s a whole episode about him going through anger management just so he can improve himself which was super nice to see in my opinion.
I take it you're not a fan of the comic/pocket books
I couldn't find it but I remember a fanart where the young charaters talking about their father.

And every year I spent Mother’s Day with my dad. And you did this so close to it. This makes the holiday special to me. Thank you for doing this.
Same but it was my mom instead of my dad
I will be lying if this video didn't made me cry.
Donald duck is one of the best father figures ever.
It didn't make me cry cause am feeling kinda dizzy 😅But it did warm my heart tho💗☺️

Donald may be filled with bad luck and rage on the outside but on the inside he is kind of sensitive and very loving and caring for his family.
I thought it was Donald until I heard an old old old episode that said Uncle Donald, and it made my whole world explode🤯
I never thought Daffy was their dad.
@Angie Reyes To me they're both awesome.
The term family, mom and dad have changed so much and I'm glad stories are reflecting that
I wonder if the opposite applies to Webby and Scrooge. Webby is biologically related to Scrooge but he didn't raise her as a daughter at all. And then there's that saying "blood doesn't make you family."
It's fun how you bring that up because the producers said they literally addressed it in "the secret files of agent 22" and said "if you rewatch it, its basically a father and daughter getting to know eachother"
I kinda see it as a child who was raised by their mother but always asked about their dad and wanted to meet him, which led to her calling him uncle scrooge at the end.
I'm not going to act like "they always had a deep connection deep down" because realistically, webby just found him an interesting person and scrooge liked having her around as a skillful cheerleader (let's be honest) but their relationship did grow to a level of trust that was special, i always made a joke that out of all the kids, webby was scrooge's favorite, which wasn't even funny because of the ending
Yeah, the webby twist is like that. They weren't as close as parent-daughther or as close as with Beakley
They should add "but when they do ,they do"
That’s why I love Donald Duck he is a great character with his nephews
in the reboot animated series or somewhere in Disney universe

He's also my childhood Disney Character. Even Chip and Dale!
It is appropriate that you are posting this near Mother's Day (in the US) because not only was Donald uncle to the boys, he was their father and their MOTHER! Now that Della has returned and learned how to mother her own children, Donald has a new family to raise with Daisy :) He will be awesome with May and June!
I reall hope ducktales gets a prequel or a spinoff. There are so many things that could happen, a spinoff about donald, a prequel about della and Donald and their adventures with scrooge or just one with scrooge. There are so many things that could happen
Ikr!! I wish we had a prequel. Like the life and times of uncle scrooge, from his birth to della's disapperance.
I wanna see a 3 caballeros reboot
THE LIFE AND TIMES OF SCROOGE MCDUCK
I always felt like you can do a prequel primarily focusing on Donald and Della’s lives and adventures with Scrooge in their younger days. Maybe even includes tear jerking moments of them coping with the death of their parents. I have a feeling they were orphaned at a young age cause even based on the comics it seems like they were orphaned at a young age. I would call the series “Tales of the Duck Twins”.
Starring:
Tony Anselmo as Donald Duck
Christina Vee as Young Donald Duck
Paget Brewster as Young/Adult Della Duck
David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck
Toks Olagundoye as Bentina Beakley
David Kaye as Duckworth
Jeff Bennett as Quackmore Duck
Kelly Macdonald as Hortense McDuck
Corey Burton as Ludwig Von Drake
Michelle Gomez as Matilda McDuck
@@Christopher_Woods or just don't making this series.
Donald is definitely the best father figure that the Duck triplets could ask for!!!
Donald was a hero. He left that life to raise the books. And Goofy showed he was a good dad in the Goof Troop tv series, the movie was about their last day before Max went to college. About Goofy accepting the Max is a man now
It would be cool if there was a crossover in Donald and Goofy interacting with each other when the triplets are toddlers and Max is probably 10 or 11. I assume Max is like 6-8 years older years older than Huey, Dewey and Louie. Maybe Goofy helps Donald in giving him tips in raising a child as a single parent.
In my honest opinion, the older you get, A Goofy Movie just gets better. That film ages like wine. It displays Goofy as more than your comic relief character and how he is trying to come to terms with Max growing up and wanting more independence. And Max understands that he doesn’t need to lie to his father about what he wants and his father will always be a part of his life no matter how old he is.
That thumbnail had me worried for a second considering Della’s their true mother
HAHAHHAHA SAME HERE I COULD NOT BREATHE
I had to click on the video just to make sure he didn’t mean that they did it 😂😂
I couldn’t agree more Donald a amazing parent/guardian he’s totally earned it the triplets, webby and may and June are in very good hands with Donald and in my opinion Donald earns father of the year
yes
My first thought when I saw the thumbnail was ‘Oh! You mean like parental figure dad, not blood dad!’
My first thought was not that :(
@@joshuasgameplays9850 sweet home Alabama
i think the finale should have been like this:
after finding their father, they realize he was dead all along. But then they realized they had a father all the time:
donald duck
Ya but in a way i dont think they would be able to use that concept becuase it was already used in a movie just made by Disney (onward)
@@joelem2313 damnit i forgot it
@@Codemister2009 And that would have been really dark if he was dead. Maybe he could have been in FOWL or something
That plot has been used before but at the same time it might’ve been a little dark for Disney. Kind of similar how they never showed what happened to Donald and Della’s parents. Most presume they died when the Duck Twins were kids.
@@Christopher_Woods Both amphibia and owl house have dead parents that are talked about on screen and they're Disney shows, I don't think that avoiding talking about Donald parents have anything to do with them being dead
I’m glad that this is the route they took, and the same route Isaac took. I was worried that he was gonna go the Sweet Home Alabama. He’s definitely a good parent figure, and his pattern made sense. He didn’t want to lose them, like he lost Della, and he disagreed with Scrooge because of the risks. But he even worked past that pattern! The writers gave Donald a full arc, and I love that. They gave him a complex and solid character arc, and that... honestly is great.
I agree Donald is their true father because he has raised them and probably loves them more than anyone so when he calls them his kids he has a right to. Because you did a video on the relationships of Daisy and Donald and Scrooge and Goldie, can you please do a video explaining Gandra and Fenton's relationship or Gandra's backstory?
Seriously, Goofy shouldn't be the only decent biological father here.
What does not read that many biological fathers in the show or biological parents in general
Not all great parents have to be biologically related to their kid. This series put more emphasis on found families. I bet Scrooge even saw Donald and Della as a son and daughter through all the time they spent together. Very likely he raised them from a young age assuming Quackmore and Hortense died when they were kids.
These are all the reasons why Donald is my favorite character on ducktales .
This incarnation of DuckTales was absolutely incredible and could very well be one of the top 5 kid based shows of this century keep in mind Avatar exists
As someone who had an absent birth father in their early life, I agree with this, I never consider my dad to be my step dad, sometimes I’ll say he’s technically my adoptive father, but I never say he’s technically my step father, he’s my father through and through, he raised me, supported me, and is still helping to make me into the man I am now, I don’t always see eye to eye with him sometimes, but I know his heart is in the right place, he wants the best for me, and I appreciate him for everything he’s done in my life
Everyone keeps saying that they want DuckTales to continue in some way; Season 4, spinoffs Darkwing Duck, etc. I personally want to see a prequel TV series focusing on Huey, Dewey, Louie and Donald's lives before they moved into McDuck Manor. They're my 4 favorite characters in the reboot and I feel like there's a lot that can be explored through their relationships in a more grounded setting despite the lack of adventuring.
Yeah, I would also really like a prequel about della and Donald and their adventures though a prequel about scrooge would also ve great and your idea is also great
I agree w this & the other comment, but I also wouldn't mind a sequel that goes into the future as Donald and Daisy have their own kid(s) and they have their adventures with their older cousins.
As far as this continuity goes, I'm glad it ended where it did, leaving fans wanting more. If we get a one off movie, I'd be down for it. I do think there's at least room for that, especially when the original series had a movie that hot a theatrical release. I mean, Disney+ is right there 🤷♀️
OP, I'm totally with you on this idea. I would totally loved a 45 minutes or so prequel movie focused on the triplets being chaotic in a fairly normal life with Donald raising them
I agree with you. Honestly.....I think we would just be disappointed and mad if anybody BUT Donald was the boys' father now. And to me, it almost seems like there's a REASON that the father's face is always covered up in the family tree. Almost like he was an old boyfriend and things went badly between him and Della and she scribbled over his face with a marker like a teenager does when she breaks up with her boyfriend to literally erase him from the picture and forget about him. I LOVED what they did in the new series in introducing Della as their mother. I really liked her character and I respected her determination to get back to her sons after being trapped on the moon. She was beautiful and brave and badass and she clearly loved her children and her family. But for all intents and purposes, Donald IS the boys' father. He loves them. He has protected them. He has raised them up since they were eggs, according to the photos. He was the one who sang them to sleep at night. He was the one who taught them all the things that a father teaches his sons. He's the one who is always there (along with Scrooge and Della) to get the children out of trouble. He may be a bit overly protective and temperamental, but he would do anything for the boys. And another thing....when Della came back, and she was told they were named "Huey, Dewey and Louie", she got mad and said they were SUPPOSED to be named "Jet, Turbo and Rebel" and that she TOLD DONALD that's what the names were and even wrote the names down in case no one understood him. Wouldn't she have told their FATHER that information if she wasn't back from the moon.....if there was a father still in the picture? Wouldn't that be something a FATHER would do, rather than an UNCLE? Naming the children? So to me, that's a hint that maybe she entrusted her sons to Donald, knowing that he would love them and take care of them as their father if anything happened to her on her adventure. In my humble opinion, DNA makes you a father......but LOVE makes you a Daddy. Donald is DEFINITELY the Daddy in my book.
I couldn't agree more. Donald Duck has been a wonderful father figure to his nephews. And the show ends with him taking in May and June to be his new daughters. If he could raise three boys by himself for a decade without getting himself committed, then two daughters should be no problem whatsoever, right?
Right?
I think Daisy would be a great step mom for them as well. Considering Donald and Daisy get married at some point.
It’s quite telling how in all three seasons, the boys never once asked what happened to their father.
As far as the boys are concerned, they’ve always had one in their Uncle Donald.
If they ever did a movie like between the Last Adventure and before Donald and Daisy go out on their big worldwide excursion. The film could close out with the triplets admitting to Donald that they never asked about their biological father cause they always saw him as that person. “You’re more than our uncle to us, you’ve become our father and that will never change.” Donald would do choke up if he heard those comments. All he ever wanted was to be a good parent to his boys.
ever since i’ve heard donald duck’s real voice, he’s kinda cute....
I feel like I understand Daisy now.
Donald Duck is a great father he has been with Huey Dewey and Louie since they were born no matter how many times his lose temper he will always protect his nephews from any danger
Wow despite his incontrollable temper and prone to misfortunes Donald does prove he does have a kind heart.
Even dating to the classic shorts most of his bad luck is just over simple everyday things and having a hard time getting it done due to obstacles getting in the way.
Like how Jean Valjean became Cosette’s father when he adopted her from the awful Thenardeirs when Fantine her mother gave her to his keeping right before she died
I love it when we see Goofy or Donald be the best fathers they can be
Some of our fav characters! ❤️💙💚
that's one of the many things i love about Donald Duck! he really raised the boys like his own ❤
Anyone who has or had a good father figure in their life whether it be family or stepfamily or someone else can agree to this video wholeheartedly magically people father figures 😊
Donald was obviously not the biological father but he was without question the triplets father figure.💖
Yes, I agree with you 100%, Issac. I’ve always admired Donald for being an awesome dad. It makes me think of just how awesome my dad is even though he doesn’t realize just how special and important he is to me. And I’ve always admired my dad because he always knows how to make me laugh and put a smile on my face even after my mom passed away in 2016. He and I are like two peas in a pod. We have a very strong relationship and a strong bond.
I love how he practically adopted May and June at the end, such a precious family, he's going to be an awesome father to the girls just like he was to the boys❤️❤️
Dadnald deserves the world!
Well hello there Bridleway!!!
Donald has ALWAYS beeny favorite of the golden trio (Mickey, Donald and Goofy), and I love how more modern depections show him getting his MUCH NEEDED time in the spotlight!
2:13 I always thought that scene was cute and heart-warming. Still gets me after 3-4 years.
One of my favorite quotes from a unknown person “Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what.”
Donald Duck is more of a Father then an Uncle towards his Nephews, ever since this Quackful show came on back in 2017 I have always wanted to know who their father was, but it turns out they already have a father and he may not be their actual father but he's twice the father and ten times better than their old man probably was or ever will be,
I saw the thumbnail and rightfully got scared
Same
DUCK-CEST! AWOO-WOO!
*goes to throw up*
Lmfao me too
Yeah Donald has always been there for the boys since Della left he was a father to them since they hatched 🐣 and has always been
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was gonna go in a direction that is wrong on so many levels (Sweet home alabama) but it turned out to be wholesome thankfully.
A true DuckTales content creator.... YOU'RE MY FAV TH-camR !!

Ever since the old cartoons, I always saw Donald as the boys' father because he raised them with his own blood, sweat and tears. 💖
This show was beautiful in every aspect and I loved how it portrayed the relationships. Indeed, Donald is Huey, Dewey and Louie's true father. 👏
Goofy and Donald had their successful chance as being fathers,now we need To see Mickey
I always loved Donald Duck since I was a kid cause I can totally relate to him 🥺🥰
This a natural evolution for Donald Duck. The writers did a masterful job with their interpretation of him. 🙂
I was looking at the title and it took me a second to remember Della and Donald were brother and sister and I was like "😀 what the honk"
"What happened when we were in that elevator?!"
*"My kids!"*
Am I the only one who wanted to hear Donald sing the lullaby

100% Agree in fact it is my belief that blood does not make one a parent, it's love, as Donald loved those boys as much as any father ever could
You're absolutely right. Donald really stepped in to be the parent his nephews needed.
A little more thought... being an uncle and dad are very blurred with Scrooge and Donald. You could see a lot of a father-daughter bond when Scrooge was welcoming Della back home after she showed up back from the moon.
Can you picture when the triplets grow up and at least of them gets married and starts having kids? I can't help but think the young uncles will be frequent visitors. Plus the older ones will definitely want to meet the new babies as they come.
I always envisioned that Donald and Della’s parents died when the twins were children and Scrooge took them in to raise the two of them. Over time he began to see the Duck Twins as the son and daughter he never had. Of course before he found out Webby was his daughter.
@@Christopher_Woods yeah I've come to see that as well, plus in nearly all the fanfics I've read focusing on them goes with their parents parents dead with Scrooge adopting/taking them in.
@@bethanysmith5856 I think that is mostly due to the case that it looks like they’ve been living with Scrooge for a long time. Plus in the comics they weren’t raised by their parents. The were raised by their paternal grandmother, Elvira Coot aka Grandma Duck.
@@Christopher_Woods yeah I've heard about that. There's some of the fics where it seems like Grandma and Scrooge had joint custody from how much they were going back and forth between them.
A few where he raised them but they had plenty of visits to Grandma's
And a few where she had them at the start along with Gladstone but fell on hard times and he took them in for her, Gladstone went back to the farm due to his luck and Scrooge not getting along.
Donald Duck may be the triplets uncle but he raised them and now with Daisy Duck he has two girls of his own, May and June in the finale.
When I saw this, my first thought was that Donald was ACTUALLY the father of the triplets. I should have known this was family friendly.
I agree Donald is like a farther figer like star Lord and yondo
They lost a mother they never knew. He lost his best friend and sister
Isaac Carlson, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LOVING DONALD THE WAY I LOVE DONALD!!
I always felt like the big message throughout the Ducktales reboot was that family isn’t always the ones you’re biologically related but the ones that are the most committed and love you every day. I wonder that if Quackmore and Hortense are dead and if so died when Donald and Della were kids since if you go by the comics it doesn’t seem like they were raised by their parents. It’s possible Scrooge looked after them as they grew up and even saw Donald and Della as like his own son and daughter before Webby was cloned. Likely one reason he went out of his way to find Della because he wanted his surrogate daughter back and more or so to do it for Donald to bring back his sister. Once Bradford and his other board of directors pulled the plug on the search parties that’s when Scrooge turned into a miser for 10 years.
Donald as a father figure is what inspired by idea for Herobrine, he'd take his nephew in and raise him as his son
I think that the fact that Della never mentioned a partner or cared about a left behind past love, I sort of think she just intentionally became a single parent via a donor so she could have children and they would carry on the genetic family line. I think that it sort of reflects in that the triplets always knew they had a mom, that she was missing but she existed... yet we never hear or learn anything about their father almost like he was not a real part of the family. I also think it might be the case since Sam King seemed to want Penumbra and Della to become a couple and she drew pictures of Della with the LGBT flag.
In a very hard comic, it was implied that the triplets accidentally killed their father by placing a very large firecracker under his chair
Old*
@@dirtandsilkk The 2017 cartoon referenced that comic scene, but applied it to what Donald and Della did to their dad when they were little, only it's never said that anyone's dad died from firecrackers being popped under their chair, I think that would be too dark. The father probably just got really angry at them and that's why the parents sent them away, like it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I had this idea and wished they used it in the series’s that the triplets father was a worker for FOWL. Della didn’t find out until she was pregnant with Huey, Dewey and Louie. Once that happened she had the motivation to raise her kids as a single mother. Since FOWL knew she had the motivation to go to space that set up the idea for them to send the note to Della about the Spear of Selene and once she’s gone they can capture the eggs and the boys to be raised by FOWL. But before could be done Donald already took the eggs. Donald is likely the strongest fighter of the three so they had to wait for the right moment to strike. Too bad that didn’t work cause I think that really could’ve emphasized more on how Donald was the true father of Huey, Dewey and Louie. And putting more emphasis on the quote. “He may have been your father, but he wasn’t your daddy”.
Awesome video and I f it helps I got a future story idea of the Duck family meeting the father of the boys , and have Donald and Mr. Duck encounter each other.
@jf k I like to think that he use to work for F.O.W.L but he had a change of heart after meeting Della and when she found out , they had a falling out, and when he heard about The Spear of Selene, he just went underground.
I agree that Donald Duck is the real father and I really like love the reboot of DuckTales
To be honest, I agree with you. From what we saw in this version of DuckTales and other media, he's been the main parent and father figure for the boys. In a few episodes of Quack Pack, he gave up some things he loved and even risked his own life (in a comical way) through booby traps to save his nephews.
I swear if he was going to say Donald was their biological father I was going to lose it XD
Sweet Home Alabama
Well, sometimes uncle is the word for dad.
💗💗💗💗
Have you been listening to the Ducktales podcast? It's right here on TH-cam, it's A podcast hosted by Huey, it takes place after the finale, and it's really Disney XD and the same voice actors. So I think you should check it out if you haven't
Is it all the same actors? For some reason,Louie sounds waaaaay different than on the show.
Still,it's good stuff.
I totally agree ❤👍
Donald gave up so much to raise the boys im glad he is able to start his life with daisy may and june
family isn't about blood. it's about whether they care for you, whether they try to be their best selves for you, whether they're willing to make some sacrifices for you, whether they love you. Donald Duck cares for his nephews, he tries to be his best self for them, he makes SO many sacrifices for them, and of course he loves them. he is their true father, even if he isn't the biological one.
Whenever I see a post on Facebook about goofy being a great father I always point out all the things that Donald Duck did. Like take care of his sister’s kids as if they were his
I know what we’re ALL thinking....
Well I am NOW 😬😣
Its too early for this beautiful fathers day episode 😭
Donald was one of the best things about the 2017 series 😊
Can you do a video explaining Fenton and Gandra's relationship?
Kind of wish there were more moments of donald being a father figure in the show
i`m not going to lie the title creep me out a little bit but I loved it
He did it for the algorithm 👌
If the biological father is ever brought to light. I will always think of this quote.
