Disney XD released the first full-length trailer to DuckTales today, and fans of Uncle Scrooge McDuck were no doubt extremely pleased to hear Scrooge refer to himself as “tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties,” a direct reference to one of the greatest Uncle Scrooge comic book stories, Carl Barks’s “Only a Poor Old Man” (Four Color Comics #386, March 1952).

Following the trailer, you’ll find Disney XD’s pre-air date announcement for a second season, showing that the press and fan chatter for this show has been enormous, and additionally a gallery of screen captures and cast photos.
