How this season is filed

Filed by Max Sterling · Streaming Confidential

Woo-oo: Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey, Louie, and globetrotting greed recast as adventure. Disney Afternoon gold that proved TV animation could look expensive again, with a theme song that remains undefeated in the earworm Olympics. Treasure-hunt serial comedy — capitalism as a family sport — and the launchpad for a whole after-school block.
