One paragraph plot summary : The episode started with Launchpad gets the driver license and he drives around with Dewey. Lanuchpad mailed the driver license to Scrooge McDuck, but McDuck is always ignoring the mails that are sent to him. So, he doesn't know about it and Launchpad is waiting for McDuck to give him surprise. Later the day, at the Gyro's lab, they met an intern guy and then, they find out a guy named Mark Beaks invented a robot named B.U.D.D.Y that can drive the cars safely. Launchpad is so worried that McDuck would replace him with a robot. So, he makes the competition with that robot. Unfortunately, Launchpad lost because he followed the rules and tries to drive it safely. At the end of competition, Gyro finds out the tech that used to create the robot is actually Gyro's and Gyro finds out that intern guy from his lab posted it online. So, he fired him. Then, Scrooge McDuck and Dewey gets into the car which drives by that B.U.D.D.Y robot. B.U.D.D.Y robot gone bad because Mark Beaks talked something wrong. And so, they all face the danger. Launchpad and the intern guy try to save them. The intern guy gets the robot that Gyro is currently working on to save them. They both work together and finally, they saved them successfully. Later at night, Scrooge McDuck congratulates Launchpad for getting the driver license. Launchpad knows that McDuck's not going to fired, he's happy and hugs McDuck. Meanwhile, Mark Beaks tries to find someone called Gizmoduck who saved McDuck, Dewey and him from his own robot.

This episode is really, really fun to watch. It made me fresh and it's so enjoyable. But I found that this episode has some parts from DuckTales 1987's episodes named Armstrong, which is also a robot story which gone bad in the end. I'm not saying that it's bad to have contents from old show, I'm just pointing out that it's really similar. It gives me that feeling of already watched it. Still, it's doing good.

All in all, DuckTales episode are very cool and I really love to watch it. I'm looking forward to see more of the awesome things from DuckTales.

Loved this one

This one was firing on all cylinders. Very funny, while having a sort-of-heartfelt backbone with the dual storylines of Fenton and Launchpad trying to prove themselves.

Lin-Manuel Miranda makes a great Fenton. In fact, I think I like him better than the original. There's an earnest good-naturedness to him.

Also, the Headless Man-Horse is the returning character I never knew I wanted.

new and old meshed together

I have enjoyed the new Ducktales although for me some things I am still getting use to. Gyro - I love from the original, but here I do find him a little harder to like. But his character here is very interesting just harsher then before.

But the opening with Quaker Jack, Megavolt, and of course Dark Wing Duck had me hoping for a tie in, only to have it be a show. But still that fit in perfectly.

I had this thought the story line reminded me of a Talespin's episode where Baloo got replaced with a robot. Not the same to a degree, and this was matching an older Ducktale race.

Add in Gizmo Duck was a great addition to the series.

The reporter is back "Roxy", and I take it as a nod to the Goofy Movie as she was holding a microphone with two eyes visible (Eye to Eye)

And with Jim Cummings involved it does appear as two of my favorite characters will get their day in the new show. Both of which I did not know that he voiced from before. Those are Darkwing Duck and Don Karnage. Loved the bobble head with the great phrase "Let's get Dangerous"

Overall a nice episode with plenty of old school reference that did not seem to get in the way. Hope Sky Pirates will be just as good, although that one I am hoping for a spin-off.

They fooled you in the opening

This episode starts by showing Darkwing Duck fighting some enemies. It's then revealed that this is actually a show and he was apparently a fictional character in this universe. I guess the real one won't appear? It's still a nice little continuity thing as Launchpad was in both shows. They did mention Saint Canard in the first episode. A lot happens as this episode introduces Gizmoduck!

Fenton appears and he's apparently Latino now because that's the race of the guy voicing him. I admit it's kind of an odd choice, but it's fine. The basic plot is that Launchpad is trying to upstage this robot driver named B.U.D.D.Y. Launchpad is celebrating getting his driver's license. Again, a lot really does happen in this episode. It's quite relevant too. ****
