Duck Tales is the most famous animated series on which more than one generation has grown. He first appeared on screens in September 1987. It was a very risky step, as a lot of money was invested in its production. In addition, there were no guarantees that they would pay off. No one could even imagine that the unique work of the Walt Disney Film Company would become so popular and loved by many viewers. Ah, these Duck Tales! The characters of the series today have not lost their former popularity. Who are these charming heroes? Let's get to know them better.
The main characters of the series - who are they?
The main characters of the cartoon "Duck Tales", as the name implies, is a family of ducks. The key role in the series is played by the wealthy drake Scrooge McDuck, or just Uncle Scrooge, his nephews (Billy, Willy and Dilly), as well as the adoptive niece Ponochka.
They live in the American city of Daxburg, in one of the huge mansions, where there is a servant, a large car garage and a real storehouse of gold. And everything would be fine, but the main characters always fall into various troubles, which are often associated with a risk to life. Of course, in this they are “helped” by secondary negative characters who are not averse to getting rich on stealing the property of a rich duck family. We will tell you more about the names of the characters from Duck Tales, who play secondary roles, a little later.
Greedy, but kind and helpful
Scrooge is a very colorful character who loves power and money. He carefully keeps his first earned dollar and loves to count his millions, diving into them with his head. Despite great wealth, Uncle Scrooge is very stingy and petty. He does not like to part with cash and does not miss a single opportunity to increase it. For example, he often saves on maintenance personnel. So, his butler Duckworth often plays the role of a chauffeur, cleaner and even a clerk.
However, human feelings are not alien to the greedy and mean drake. He easily makes contact, falls in love, takes care of the little girl Ponochka and simply does not have a soul in his nephews. Other characters in the Duck Tales cartoon see the kindness and responsiveness of an elderly millionaire, which he carefully hides behind a cold mask of indifference. Therefore, they often reciprocate. For the same reason, Skrukha has many friends who are ready to rush to his aid at any moment.
Fast, curious and talented
The three twins - Billy, Dilly and Willie - are also very interesting heroes who play an important role in the animated series "Duck Tales". Characters (photo they can be seen below) have a sparkling sense of humor. Like ordinary boys attending school, they are moderately curious and playful. Interestingly, these restless characters have been known to fans of Disney since 1937. It was then that Uncle Scrooge's first nephews were first written in one of the popular print media.
The boys got to their wealthy and serious uncle by an absurd accident, because of which their father ended up in the hospital. As a result, the tricks for a while were forced to go under the care of a relative. The twins and the rich drake did not initially get along, but after a while they became friends and learned to value each other. Throughout the series, they travel, escape from trouble and carefully re-read their favorite Encyclopedia of Young Marmots. By the way, the boys are known not only thanks to the cartoon “Duck Tales”. Characters are the permanent heroes of a series of prints of the same name.
Kind and Fair Ponochka
In the animated series Duck Tales, the characters (their names are familiar to lovers of comics and the early work of Disney) are endowed with extraordinary charm and their own character. So, unlike the eccentric and unpredictable twin brothers, the kind and responsive Ponochka always tries to do the right thing.
She lost her parents early and remained in the care of her grandmother, Mrs. Cluvdia. By chance, this pretty duck got into the house of a rich drake, who gladly agreed to become her guardian. Her grandmother also stayed with her, taking the position of housekeeper and nanny in combination. Ponochka loves animals and always teaches brothers.
Brave and hardy Zigzag
Zigzag Mac-Crack - one of the secondary, but very bright characters in the cartoon called "Duck Tales". Characters of this plan are in many series. They are clumsy, constantly fall into various comic situations, but very lucky and attractive.
That is what this slender and charming pilot, born in the family of Scottish aviators, is. Even at a young age, our hero left his home and went to America in search of a better life. Here he managed to get his first air transport and get a job with Scrooge McDuck himself.
Funny and cheerful inventor
Vint Razboltaylo - a wonderful minor character, which can often be found in the series "Duck Tales". This is a brilliant scientist and inventor who constantly masters and creates something. But his know-how often fails and needs significant improvements, although ideas are often good. True, he still managed to create a good robot Gizmo, which later became the guard of a wealthy uncle Scrooge. This is a kind and positive character that makes you laugh heartily.
Funny and clumsy brothers Gavs in the series "Duck Tales": a biography of characters
The Gavs Brothers are some of the most memorable negative characters. This is a real family row of bandits led by their mother. However, there is absolutely no fear of such anti-heroes. What are their "talking" names worth: Glutton, Slut, Chef, Banker, Bouncer, Kid and Bintik.
Despite the apparent multiplicity, these brothers constantly suffer from their stupidity, lack of coherence, cowardice and thirst for easy money. But they are united by one thing - the desire to rob one of the richest drakes of the city.
Envious and greedy Flinthart
Revising Duck Tales (the characters here cannot but rejoice), one cannot help but notice the complete opposite of the main character Scrooge. This is another rich and greedy drake known as Flintheart Glomhold. According to the background, he managed to get rich through the sale of diamonds he found in South Africa.
This is a very angry and envious millionaire, occupying an honorable second place in the ranking of the richest people in Daxburg. In order to knock the palm out of Scrooge’s clutches and take his place, this con man is ready for anything. In many episodes, he even makes a deal with other villains. But all his attempts to knock an opponent out of the saddle fail.
Wicked and imperious sorceress
Magica de Hypnosis is another representative of negative characters. She is known for her extraordinary magical abilities and a special hostility to Scrooge McDuck. This bright lady with black hair and purple shades lives on a mountain near Naples. She knows how to move in space, brew potions, cast spells, hypnotize and even turn into different creatures. For example, in one of the series she managed to transform into a huge fire-breathing dragon.
Throughout the series, Magick is haunted by the incredibly obsessive fix idea - by all means get the first McDuck gold coin. According to her assumptions, this talisman will allow her to turn any objects and objects into gold. That's just the magic abilities of Madame de Hypnosis act only if she has a magic wand. In its absence, the spell, of course, does not work. Therefore, almost every attempt by the sorceress to realize her plan ends in another failure.
Good news for fans of the series
Fans of this wonderful series will surely be delighted with the good news that representatives of the Disney company recently reported in one of their accounts on social networks. According to this post, in 2017, viewers will see a completely new season of Duck Tales. This will be a total restart of the series, in which new characters, events and goals will surely appear.
