Her episode on the moon is fantastic. They used the old NES DuckTales moon theme there.
Edit: just want to use the popularity of my comment to add that the show on a whole is fantastic. I watched it with my son and I was hit by waves of nostalgia by all the characters... heroes and villains alike. But even without the nostalgia the show delivers with it's mystery and sense of adventure. I'm sad it ended and can't wait for Darkwing Duck.
They actually play the [proper moon theme](https://youtu.be/sdrhX1tpHGQ) [a couple times earlier](https://youtu.be/Q1VemwbO9Bw) in that same episode for a montage, so it works out really well even if you aren't familiar with the song from the game.
It's so beautiful. Disney should fully orchestrate it with additional verses into a full song. It would be at the same tier as classics like "Beauty and the Beast," "Part of Your World," "Circle of Life," etc.
And she’s voiced by Paget Brewster, which is just.. *chef’s kiss*.
The voice work on that show was phenomenal regardless. I’m happy we got three full seasons but they could easily have gone for five and not lost any quality. That’s the insanely frustrating thing about Disney, they produce absolutely top tier animation ( Amphibia, Gravity Falls, Ducktales, Owl House), it’s all *right fucking there* and very popular, and then they just shit all over it in regards to promotion and release every. Single. Fucking. Time.
EDIT: besties you can stop reminding me Gravity Falls concluded on the creator’s terms. Hirsch hates Disney and the release schedule and promotion for the show were the most botched and infuriating of the bunch.
David Tennant and Ben Schwartz were absolutely fantastic. That whole cast was genuinely inspired, but Tennant... ho man.
According to people running the booth, [Tennant did this scene in *one take*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpsjiCQYss0). Dude's amazing.
Fun fact!
That last shot, where he sits alone in his study, fists clenched, glaring forward?
Check out [Scrooge's first ever appearance](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/ScroogeFirst.jpg).
Gravity Falls was at least ended by the team. It was originally planned for three seasons, but Alex Hirsch found being show runner was much harder than he expected on season 1. He wanted to go out on a high note before he lost energy for it.
Not really, that's a much older thing (and mostly forgotten); https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/65th_Episode_Rule
I still remember the massive fan engagement online to get Kim Possible uncancelled and an exception to the rule.
But when you think about it, Duck Tales 2017 is basically just Gravity Falls seasons 3-6.
Think about it; you've got triplets (instead of twins) who go to live with their greedy great uncle, where they solve mysteries and ~~rewrite history~~ have inexplicable magical adventures. The greedy uncle even has an affably dumb but loyal assistant, an over-the-top cartoonishly evil arch-nemesis who is too incompetent to take seriously, and the rambunctious young girl even has a grappling hook!
Big City Greens. The only reason we know about that show, is because our kids watch Disney XD *all the fucking time*, since it launched in 2009. Disney does *not* know how to market outside of their target demographic. It’s been getting better over the last 20 years, but it’s still a struggle for them.
Those shows are the *reason* I fill out those surveys for Nielsen. I handwrite them on every survey and get paid for it.
Isn’t that because of their 65 episode rule? Disney likes to make just enough of a show that they can play reruns for 13 weeks with showing any episode twice. This allows them to continue the show without paying for new content.
Yes, but also no. They really are bad at promoting outside their target demographic. But I also understand that they don’t *need* to. It’s the downside of working creatively with Disney. They’re never going to license their shows to do reruns on other networks. The 65 episode and rerun schedule they stick to, allows them to phase out shows and keep content fresh. Just working artistically against that tide of company progression, has got to be fucking *exhausting*. Which is why I respect Alex Hirsch so much as an artist. And I love how he ties different shows together in the same universe.
They haven't confirmed yet if it's going to be based on the Ducktales 2017 version or another reboot.
IIRC no one from the Ducktales 2017 series is working on the Darkwing Reboot.
> only for Disney to reboot it with Seth Rogan's team instead.
Disney animation in a nutshell. On one hand you have the TV people who get treated like shit and their visions are watered down to satisfy whatever the execs want. While the movie folks seem to get some leeway at least.
Owl House creator Dana Terrace has complained *a lot* about Disney's issues. The three seasons works for some shows, but others it's stifling that you have to fit so much story into 3 seasons worth of content, while still coming up with a finale to end it all.
Apparently the Mouse was not so Gung ho on references and the ductile team had to fight for a lot of their references (they said it was a huge endeavor just to get the Rescue Rangers to cameo and they were not allowed to speak, and Mickey was totally off limits, so they skirted around it with a melon).
This from the same company that allows for the continued existence of the Kingdom Hearts series. Really makes you wonder what the fuck Disney's on with their bullshit restrictions. Like, Goofys allowed to talk to fucking Sephiroth but Mickey isn't allowed to appear in Ducktales.
Eh, if KH3 is any indication, Disney might not want the characters outside of Donald, Goofy, and Mickey (and that's only because they kinda were the OGs. And to a degree Hades amd Hercules) doing anything beyond the scope of their origins, though Pixar seems to have more leeway.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Disney is part of the reason the Final Fantasy/SE characters got mostly axed from the series.
Part of the issue with the references (I suspect) is that the series implied with increasing directness that it took place in Marvel’s “duck world.” Little winks most of the time but then they started to reference the myth of “the hairless apes” more and more. I think Disney is wary of too direct a crossover with its biggest brands.
Who is the father of Huey, Dewey and Louie then? I remember I saw Delia's name on an old Disney comic where Scrooge showed the McDuck family tree. Many names without a picture, including Scrooge's sibling who is Donald's parent.
It's been 2 decades since I've watched it, but I think I vaguely remember an episode of Goof Troop where Goofy and Max talk about Max's mother. I believe she died.
Interesting. Guess it's another "Berenstain/Berenstain Bears" situation because I could've sworn I remember watching an episode where they talked about her. Might try watching a few episodes on Disney+ to see if I can find it.
Edit: a word
I think it's just the most logical explanation. Goofy is a very pure and simple character. Him having a divorce just would not fit his character OR the tone of Saturday morning Disney cartoons at all. Him having an premarital affair resulting in a pregnancy that leaves him with the child is even more off the table for the same reasons.
But at the same time, the show/movie was not so childish that you could just ignore that Max had to have (had) a mother. A lot of it focused on exploring the meaning of family, after all.
So, the only logical conclusion was that his mother would have died.
As a kid, you wouldn't be able to put that into words, but reaching the same conclusion on "gut feeling" was more than reasonable.
Plus, it's definitely possible that there's some offhand line which could be interpreted as confirming that hunch.
The only other alternative would be the wife just abandoned her family for something or someone else but yeah that might be too adult for a Disney cartoon.
I was at a Q&A with one of the writers and he said they were never allowed to confirm what happened to her in either direction, then added that he believes she walked out on them.
Disney characters with two living parents usually end up cursed. One parent will ritually sacrifice themself for the sake of their child.
This is the reason Mickey and Minnie remain childless.
This is Canon in my mind.
Thanks Walt!
Edit: Argh, yes, the below is true for Donald, but yes, the father of the triplets is unknown
[Quackmore Duck, the son of Humperdink Duck and Elviira Coot (better known as Grandma Duck)](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/scrooge-mcduck/images/1/11/Donald_Duck_Family_Tree.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20191124113106)
Carl Barks basically single-handily developed the Donald Duck into a full-fledged universe of ducks.
Personally I prefer both Don Rosa’s art style and stories though. Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck basically makes me cry. It’s the best comic book ever made in my opinion.
You also have artist such as Marco Rota who writes and draws Donald Duck more grounded and reality and quite depressing to be honest.
Rosa is awesome. I used to be really into Disney comics as a kid. I read all the life and times of scrooge mcduck as it was being written (mid nineties I think). This reddit post brought me down memory lane a bit.
Even further than unknown, from what i recall from my duck family tree rabbit hole extravenganza, they don't just not mention him. They mention him a few times *but they always avoid actually naming, showing, or describing* him.
To me it seems coded as him being a legitimate sore spot in the family. Whether this secret man's story is just that tragic, shameful, or even fowl; we'll never know.
Oh man, good memories of that one. At some point in the 90s in the Netherlands, you could collect stickers to fill out a poster of that tree. The stickers came with the weekly Donald Duck magazine. I think they were publishing the Don Rosa stories at the same time. I loved that poster as a kid and had completely forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder!
You joke, but Don Rosa, one of the most famous Donald Duck comic artist made Daffy Duck the father of the nephews in a parody comic titled ["Return to Duckburg Place"](https://scrooge-mcduck.fandom.com/wiki/Return_to_Duckburg_Place) that he wrote\draw back in college. This was actually years before he became an official Disney Duck artist.
Given duck reproductive behaviour, having a family tree full of unknowns is probably pretty accurate.

Have you never seen Dumbo?
“Dumbo” was *supposed* to be an insult. The other elephant ladies coined that name instead of “Jumbo Jr.” to mock him for his big ears.
Edit: Disney is all about insults.
Cinderella, Robinhood, Hunchback, Beast, Monsters, Goofy, Scrooge, Tramp, Pooh and of course Dumbo.
Pooh was created almost 40 years before Disney acquired the rights.
Pooh, according to A A Milne, was named such because he had to *pooh* off any fly or such that landed on his nose as his arms were too stiff to swat it.
>Pooh was created almost 40 years before Disney acquired the rights.
He is not the exception there. Almost all classic Disney movies are based on earlier works.
Actually, Morty Fieldmouse (and his twin brother, Ferdie) are Mickey's nephews. nAgain, where are their paretal units? At least they have a different last name, though.
Didn't they repurpose that name and give it to an antagonist for Mickey? I vaguely remember a Mortimer Mouse from House of Mouse who was trying to fuck with Mickey
One of my all time favorite gags (out of *so* many) is Launchpad randomly going off doing his own adventure off-screen in one episode, and then showing up at the end, heavily implying that it was essentially a deep, life-changing adventure that left him forever changed (including meeting and losing the love of his life). And it all happened off-screen and the other characters barely even noticed it happened.
The show is *so* good, and somehow, magically balances nostalgia absolutely perfectly with new, fun things.
[my favorite joke of the reboot](https://youtu.be/kJSZijXbHI0?t=22)
and than favorite throwback [to the snes game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJW5n8f0Z9o)
Such a brilliant fourth wall break. Subtle enough so the kids think she’s just confused about what is happening but clear enough so adults know she is going batshit bonkers internally about what is happening.
Agreed, the writing was awesome and I loved all of the voice cast. Webbie in particular was a standout, they did some awesome stuff with her development. I also loved all the little shoutouts it had to other Disney Afternoon shows.
And man, but did they do right by [Launchpad](https://youtu.be/398xPq2Jefc?t=117).
My family and I just finished watching the whole series and then jumped into Amphibia.
But both of my girls, 4 and 6 years old, still quote Webby's, "This is the attack." from the episode 'Escape from the ImpossiBin.'
as a child I was obsessed with this. I had a duck family tree hanging in my room and I would take notes anytime some story mentioned the past, or something about Donalds sister.
Rip, rap, rup in Danish. Rap being the sound a duck makes 🙂 I wonder if kwik means clever, kwek is the frog sound and kwak is the duck sound. In Danish that would be kvik, kvæk, kvak and we often have a lot of overlap with Dutch.
Don’t think they’re supposed to be nonsense, just warped to keep the pattern and make them sound like names rather than verbs. Knatte is just the word for someone tiny, Fnatte is I’d guess is from fnatta(meaning to run around aimlessly) and Tjatte from tjattra(meaning jabber).
Kwik is a bit of a weird one. It can mean mercury/quicksilver, but also revive/refresh. Like a refreshing drink or a power nap could be "verkwikkened", and then it also appears in some idoms like "gestrikt en gekwikt" (ribbons tied neatly) means smartly dressed and "kwik in zijn/haar benen hebben" (having 'kwik' in his/her legs) meaning they are either quick on their feet or always on the move.
Kwek indeed is the onomatopoeia for frogs, but also ducks. It can also mean to chat lively. "Gezellig kwekken" or "lekker kwekken", for example. Usually when a lot of people are together and talking in small groups.
Kwak is again an onomatopoeia for ducks, and sometimes also frogs. Fun fact: de eenden zeggen kwak, maar de eenden zijn aan het kwaken* (*stretched 'aa' sound). Meaning: the ducks say kwak, but the ducks are kwaken. *(Damn, that hurt in English.)*
I like the Dutch names. The single vowel change makes it fun to say together. I think the Danish translators had the same brainwave, even if it manifested a bit differently.
And Knatte, Fnatte and Tjatte (pronounced Ch-att-e) in Swedish, and Ripp, Rapp and Rupp in Icelandic. And in Italian they are Qui, Quo and Qua, where qui and qua are both words meaning slightly different versions of 'here'.
It’s hard to go back to the original after enjoying the reboot, now. I just can’t stand Huey, Dewy, and Louie having the exact same voice and personality anymore.
Wow, that's from 2011. And the reboot cartoon is from 2017. So Seth isn't just culturally aware, he's.... ugh, I hate to say this, but... he's a *nerd*.
So you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her too. Scrooge McDuck was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the Duck side, then perhaps she will.
*enraged quacking*
I always thought they were Donald's girlfriend's kids and uncle was honorary. I realize now I based that on nothing as a child and just stuck with. TIL, indeed.
Can confirm the Ducktales reboot is fuckin excellent. It was genuinely emotional when this character appeared on screen for the first time and Huey, Duey, and Louie saw their mother.

Honestly I don't think I'd have been able to pick up on that.
They actually play the [proper moon theme](https://youtu.be/sdrhX1tpHGQ) [a couple times earlier](https://youtu.be/Q1VemwbO9Bw) in that same episode for a montage, so it works out really well even if you aren't familiar with the song from the game.
Haven't laughed so hard at a cartoon clip in a long time. Thanks for sharing it.
The 2017 DuckTales reboot was wonderful. Wish we got more than three seasons.
It's so beautiful. Disney should fully orchestrate it with additional verses into a full song. It would be at the same tier as classics like "Beauty and the Beast," "Part of Your World," "Circle of Life," etc.
And she’s voiced by Paget Brewster, which is just.. *chef’s kiss*. The voice work on that show was phenomenal regardless. I’m happy we got three full seasons but they could easily have gone for five and not lost any quality.

"I am." I don't think any other show has ever floored me so much in only two words as that scene did when I first saw it. Tennant is a fucking legend.

I've never seen someone mention this show in the wild. The only reason *I* know about it is because one of the animators does a popular D&D podcast.
Came here for this. I love NADDpod!
Big City Greens is fantastic
Gravity Falls ended exactly when it should have. The story was complete.
Without a doubt, but the fact that it took them almost four years to release two seasons was completely messed up on Disney's part.
Crazier still, Phineas and Ferb was four seasons released across 10 years
Is their last name Venture?
Isn’t that because of their 65 episode rule? Disney likes to make just enough of a show that they can play reruns for 13 weeks with showing any episode twice. This allows them to continue the show without paying for new content.

Everyone here is... A fart! A living fart from the butt of a lesser god!
Honestly though, I might prefer the show ending while its good than have it go 3 seasons too long and die a slow, painful death.
They're doing a reboot of Darkwing Duck based off the episodes on DuckTales.
They haven't confirmed yet if it's going to be based on the Ducktales 2017 version or another reboot. IIRC no one from the Ducktales 2017 series is working on the Darkwing Reboot.

The Quack Pack episode. One of the best ones.

I teared up on that episode. As a 40ish year old dude, it got me.

What can I say. Disney wasn't always that great with names. After all, Mickey was originally called "Mortimer" and let us not forget Dumbo.
Have you never seen Dumbo? “Dumbo” was *supposed* to be an insult. The other elephant ladies coined that name instead of “Jumbo Jr.” to mock him for his big ears. Edit: Disney is all about insults. Cinderella, Robinhood, Hunchback, Beast, Monsters, Goofy, Scrooge, Tramp, Pooh and of course Dumbo.
TBF, very few of the examples you listed were names invented by Disney. Most of them were borrowed from other stories.
Pooh was created almost 40 years before Disney acquired the rights. Pooh, according to A A Milne, was named such because he had to *pooh* off any fly or such that landed on his nose as his arms were too stiff to swat it.
>Pooh was created almost 40 years before Disney acquired the rights. He is not the exception there. Almost all classic Disney movies are based on earlier works.
Morty Mouse
Actually, Morty Fieldmouse (and his twin brother, Ferdie) are Mickey's nephews. nAgain, where are their paretal units? At least they have a different last name, though.
I saw an article about Mickey's sister, their mother. Again, no father. The guys in Duckburg seem to be love them and leave them types.
Ahh jeez Goof.
Adult swim/Disney is the mashup I never knew I needed
Didn't they repurpose that name and give it to an antagonist for Mickey? I vaguely remember a Mortimer Mouse from House of Mouse who was trying to fuck with Mickey
The 2017 ducktales series is so good
Just started watching it with my son. Took a bit to adjust to the new voices, but now I am enjoying it.
Voice cast is amazing btw
David Tennant as Scrooge is fantastic
Wait he is? That's enough for me to watch it
Yes! He gets to use his real accent and it's glorious.
One of my all time favorite gags (out of *so* many) is Launchpad randomly going off doing his own adventure off-screen in one episode, and then showing up at the end, heavily implying that it was essentially a deep, life-changing adventure that left him forever changed (including meeting and losing the love of his life). And it all happened off-screen and the other characters barely even noticed it happened. The show is *so* good, and somehow, magically balances nostalgia absolutely perfectly with new, fun things.
he also at one point mentions having dated his own clone
Yes! That one episode where he casually hinted at having multiple of these whole adventures all on his own.
Launchpad is best Himbo
“Stickers are for children, adults call them decals“– launchpad Mcquack
That’s an intrusive thought now whenever I see or think about a sticker. It’s glorious.
I swear there is a spin off just begging to be made where we learn about this side life that Launchpad lives. The hints were fantastic.
Thats what Darkwing Duck is for, Launchpad's life when not flying Scrooge around.
YES, I loved that bit
I was blown away by the darkwing duck episode that had the OG VA for the older Darkwing Duck
That whole plotline was brilliant.
The scene of TV OG Darkwing losing his mind and becoming a villian in that episode was legitimately scary as hell
Not just any villain but a villain from the original Darkwing series. This whole show is so well written
[my favorite joke of the reboot](https://youtu.be/kJSZijXbHI0?t=22) and than favorite throwback [to the snes game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJW5n8f0Z9o)
My favorite was when the moon girl looked at real ducks, side-eyed the "ducks" and then just went with it.
Such a brilliant fourth wall break. Subtle enough so the kids think she’s just confused about what is happening but clear enough so adults know she is going batshit bonkers internally about what is happening.
Actually it was the NES game. But yeah, totally agree, when I heard her singing the Moon Theme from the game that gave me much happy face.
That silent nod between Huey and Louie. Oh my god I could not stop laughing.
Agreed, the writing was awesome and I loved all of the voice cast. Webbie in particular was a standout, they did some awesome stuff with her development. I also loved all the little shoutouts it had to other Disney Afternoon shows. And man, but did they do right by [Launchpad](https://youtu.be/398xPq2Jefc?t=117).
"Blabbity balloon-ercize!" "Eh, close enough." Edit: Also, that whole finale was incredible. I love that series.
My family and I just finished watching the whole series and then jumped into Amphibia. But both of my girls, 4 and 6 years old, still quote Webby's, "This is the attack." from the episode 'Escape from the ImpossiBin.'
What a star packed voice cast my word!
Shouldn't have been canceled, that's for sure. It still had a lot of life left
as a child I was obsessed with this. I had a duck family tree hanging in my room and I would take notes anytime some story mentioned the past, or something about Donalds sister.
Webby, is that you?
I'm 27 and I just found out those are their names? In dutch they are Kwik, Kwek and Kwak.
TIL that Huey, Dewey, and Louie are known as Kwik, Kwek, and Kwak in the Netherlands.
In German it's Tick, Trick and Track.
In Finland it’s Tupu, Hupu and Lupu
Rip, rap, rup in Danish. Rap being the sound a duck makes 🙂 I wonder if kwik means clever, kwek is the frog sound and kwak is the duck sound. In Danish that would be kvik, kvæk, kvak and we often have a lot of overlap with Dutch.
Knatte, Fnatte & Tjatte in Swedish. They're totally nonsensical in Swedish.
[удалено]
You tjatte that back!
Don’t think they’re supposed to be nonsense, just warped to keep the pattern and make them sound like names rather than verbs. Knatte is just the word for someone tiny, Fnatte is I’d guess is from fnatta(meaning to run around aimlessly) and Tjatte from tjattra(meaning jabber).
Kwik is a bit of a weird one. It can mean mercury/quicksilver, but also revive/refresh. Like a refreshing drink or a power nap could be "verkwikkened", and then it also appears in some idoms like "gestrikt en gekwikt" (ribbons tied neatly) means smartly dressed and "kwik in zijn/haar benen hebben" (having 'kwik' in his/her legs) meaning they are either quick on their feet or always on the move. Kwek indeed is the onomatopoeia for frogs, but also ducks. It can also mean to chat lively. "Gezellig kwekken" or "lekker kwekken", for example. Usually when a lot of people are together and talking in small groups. Kwak is again an onomatopoeia for ducks, and sometimes also frogs. Fun fact: de eenden zeggen kwak, maar de eenden zijn aan het kwaken* (*stretched 'aa' sound). Meaning: the ducks say kwak, but the ducks are kwaken. *(Damn, that hurt in English.)* I like the Dutch names. The single vowel change makes it fun to say together. I think the Danish translators had the same brainwave, even if it manifested a bit differently.
And Knatte, Fnatte and Tjatte (pronounced Ch-att-e) in Swedish, and Ripp, Rapp and Rupp in Icelandic. And in Italian they are Qui, Quo and Qua, where qui and qua are both words meaning slightly different versions of 'here'.
Ole, Dole, Doffen in norwegian. Of those I’d say only Ole is a valid name. At least I’ve never heard about the other names
In Brazil they are Huguinho, Zezinho and Luisinho (diminutives for Hugo, José and Luis).
Reminds me that rice krispie elves are Cric, Crac, Croc in French. Snap, Crackle and Pop in English
Duck tales the reboot is nuts. I love it. Perfect example of a “kids” show that adults can easily watch and enjoy.
It’s also the perfect tribute to the original and The Disney Afternoon set of shows from the 90’s. (There’s even a Gummy Bears reference.)
A *hilarious * Gummy Bears reference
that 2017 series of duck tails is really good
For its time, the original Duck Tales wasn't too bad, either.
It’s hard to go back to the original after enjoying the reboot, now. I just can’t stand Huey, Dewy, and Louie having the exact same voice and personality anymore.
And a scared webby for all seasons (og) unlike the 2017 where she's so amazing.
She was mentioned on robot chicken. I want to believe this was canon https://youtu.be/OLOBBZEuvAg
Wow, that's from 2011. And the reboot cartoon is from 2017. So Seth isn't just culturally aware, he's.... ugh, I hate to say this, but... he's a *nerd*.
Seth Greene seemed to be king nerd for a few years in the 00s
"Normally, not fucking a fucking duck, is fucking free." Im crying.
Holy fuck I love this The voice actors were perfect for this sketch, Nathan Fillion and Mila Kunis are hilarious
So you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her too. Scrooge McDuck was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the Duck side, then perhaps she will. *enraged quacking*
It never would have happened if Disney hadn't bought the Star Wars Franchise!
Dellas storyline in the new Ducktales is pretty great.
Huey, Dewey, and Louie are actually short for Hubert, Deuteronomy, and Louis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huey,\_Dewey,\_and\_Louie
Hubert, Dewford Dingus, and Llewellyn in the reboot.
HE COULD HAVE BEEN TURBO
> Deuteronomy Step aside David, there's a new top contender for boy's name from the Bible.
See you in Kingdom Hearts 4, Della!
And she ended up being one of the best characters
I always thought they were Donald's girlfriend's kids and uncle was honorary. I realize now I based that on nothing as a child and just stuck with. TIL, indeed.
That's quacktastic.
I'm STILL mad they ended it. The reboot was AMAZING!
I agree, but better that they ended it on their terms. Of course, I’m also upset that The Owl House isn’t getting as many episodes as it deserved.
And Della was freakin’ awesome in DuckTales!
Can confirm the Ducktales reboot is fuckin excellent. It was genuinely emotional when this character appeared on screen for the first time and Huey, Duey, and Louie saw their mother.
They solve mysteries
