Aw man! These are so cool. I hope there’s more images like this out there. I’ve always loved Quack Pack but the Duck Daze concept has always sounded more interesting to me. Not so much because it would have been a continuation of Ducktales, though that is kinda cool, but because it sounds like it would have focused more on Donald trying to be a responsible parent. I also think we would have got more focus on the nephews as characters, especially in a school setting; that would have been amazing. In Quack Pack there was never a single mention by the boys about school. Kinda weird considering that they’re teens. The whole school thing is such a big part of being a teenager and I would have loved to see that. Don’t get me wrong, I love Quack Pack with all my heart, but I really wish they would have focused more on Huey, Dewey and Louie as characters. A lot of the episodes it felt like they were just there to be there, ya know.

Admittedly, I forgot the link, since I downloaded it from a Twitter blog, but I was stunned by this and I will post this. Sorry about this. Admittedly, these are sketches from the great animator Dan Haskett, who designed numerous cartoon characters like Alvin and the Chipmunks, Tiny Toons Adventures, Animaniacs, Looney Tunes, numerous Disney movies and more.

These are sketches featuring Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck that were supposed to be featured in a Disney Afternoon series called Duck Daze.

Duck Daze was actually supposed to be a sequel to the original Ducktales, where Donald Duck returns from the Navy and takes his nephews as his concern, and from Scrooge he has to keep his word that he will take very good care of Scrooge’s business and Scrooge’s wealth. Although I doubt that Scrooge would entrust it to his nephew, since he barely gives him 30 cents an hour (as evidenced by older comics). All in all, Donald Duck would have a lot of work to do about it, as well as about his teenage boys. Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck would be the main characters after Donald Duck and their focus would be mainly on school. Also, characters from Duck comics would appear, those characters who did not appear in the original Ducktales. Certainly, these children would start to differ even more, not only in the color of their clothes, but also in everything, but they would still behave like brothers. One triplet is jerk and very debauched and behaves like a cool guy, the other triplet is a smart triplet, and the third triplet would wear a cap and be naughty, but a bit silly. This sounds familiar, only it’s a little more improved and redesigned. ;)

All these ideas were by Jymm Magon, a genius director and creator of numerous Disney Afternoon series and even for Ducktales Movie and Goofy Movie.

However, there were disagreements among Disney producers so they could not decide and in the end it was decided that the new series will be tied to modern times modeled on Donald’s classic shorts in which Donald Duck will certainly have the lead and have nothing to do with Ducktales . Yes, what we were shown was actually Quack Pack, another name for Duck Daze, which was actually the original name.

Let’s face it, this isn’t directed against the Quack Pack, given that I love that series and that I’m a fan of that series and find it extremely underrated. Still, I’d rather have characters from Duck comics like Donald’s cousins (Fethry, Gus) or Daisy’s nieces (April, May and June) and other characters (Gyro, Newton, Magica, Minima, Brigitta, Dickie, Rockerduck) appear in that series. As for Scrooge, if he had appeared in Quack Pack, he would have been like Scrooge in the comics, meaning a bastard man. If anyone has watched Scrooge in Mickey Mouse Works and in House of Mouse, you know what I’m talking about. Although I prefer the designs of Donald’s nephews as shown in the Quack Pack, whose models (by Toby Shelton) are more redesigned than the model by Dan Haskett, but I certainly also like the Dan Haskett’s model. These models were released in April 1993, when the series was planned to be shown, but for some reason it was moved to 1996.

I certainly didn’t know about this until I found it on one Twitter blog, but I definitely felt I had to post this. And one more thing. These original models of Donald’s nephews are just proof that even Duck Daze was focused first on Donald, then on nephews, and that Huey, Dewey and Louie in both these models and the official Quack Pack version are not to blame for the series’ failure, but there are other reasons for that, and I beg haters who hate this series and these triplets to shut up because they have no idea. It’s okay if you don’t like this, but please don’t hate something for stupid reasons. You’re hurting yourself. Sorry about this.

Of course, I have to admit that Dan Haskett is a great animator, and if you like these designs, feel free to download them, as I don’t know if this will ever be adopted in some future Duck series.

P.S. I love these models by Dan Haskett, but I definitely love and prefer the official Quack Pack models. That’s just my opinion.
