DuckTales is originally adapted from the comics called Uncle Scrooge and other Duck universe comic series created by Carl Barks.
During the first announcement of the project in 2015, Marc Buhaj, Senior Vice President, Programming, and General Manager for Disney XD, said in a statement:
DuckTales has a special place in Disney's TV animation history, it drew its inspiration from Disney Legend Carl Barks' comic books and through its storytelling and artistic showmanship, set an enduring standard for animated entertainment that connects with both kids and adults. Our new series will bring that same energy and adventurous spirit to a new generation.
