Unfortunate that the show has only been released in the Philipines so far, but I can testify that this show is genuinely fantastic. Finally, it seems like Disney has returned to the type of classic, on-model animation that made it so popular. It is a perfect hommage to the original film and classic Disney short subject of the 30s and 40s in both humor and visuals. Some of the regular voice actors gave been replaced (Jaime Camil is now the voice of Panchito, which fits him like a glove), but the voice acting is still terrific. Storylines and adventure scenarios are very genuine and exciting, and not too cluttered or deflated with bad jokes. The show also takes clear influence from the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comics, including the inclusion of Daisy's nieces, April May and June instead of the usual Huey, Dewey and Louie (thereby cleverly solving the "Smurfette effect") and Clinton Coot.
Remarkable how refreshing it can be to just not follow the crowd for once, and go back to the roots of these classic characters. It makes the series stand out from the crude, angular, and endlessly sarcastic/self-referential cartoons that dominate today's TV sceens. A true Disney renaissance!
