I'll try my best to be fair. I get the idea that old-fashioned animation is costly, and it takes a long time to create. However, don't we have the technology to replicate the same character designs as we have seen in the 2000s and in the few decades prior? (Disney themselves proved that when they made the animated short "Paper Man.") The animation and character designs are a giant eyesore!
Let me try to deviate from the animation/character designs (key word being try). While I do admit that it was a clever idea to give Huey, Dewey, and Louie different clothing styles, it doesn't make up for the fact that they were trying to sound like "teenagers" when they still look like they could be between 9 and 12 years old--it's like if somewhere in the middle of The Fairly OddParents the creators decided to replace Timmy Turner's voice with a something completely different--it just comes across to me as creepy. You want the triplets to sound like teenagers? *Then make them look like teenagers*! While I do admit that it was kind of a strange show, Quack Pack at least made them look like actual teenagers--and gave them individual clothing styles as well--in addition to sounding like teens (all while giving them the best designs we all know and love).
And don't get me started with Webby. I know they're trying to make her a stronger female character, and I admire that, but it does NOT help that they gave her an annoying voice that's the equivalent to nails on a chalkboard (and I don't mean finger nails either). And the one scene from the beginning of the (abominable) series, where they had what looked like a rag doll version of Webby from the original (good) series pinned to the wall through the chest, it's the equivalent of having something you cherished stolen from you and left you watching it get destroyed. It's like the new Disney is trying to make people forget all that was originally good from their predecessors.
The show fails, *big time*!
I recommend you watch the old version of DuckTales. Or, if you're one of those people who like Huey, Dewey, and Louie be different from one another (e.g., styles of clothing) and as teens, then I would also recommend Quack Pack. You won't be disappointed by these shows in any way.
