  • Crossdressing Voices: The triplets have become teens, but like in DuckTales (1987) are still voiced by women (though three instead of a single one).
  • Follow the Leader: This was an obvious attempt to replicate the success of Disney's other duck based cartoons, DuckTales and Darkwing Duck, while expanding on the "90s Kids" trends introduced in Goof Troop.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Six episodes were released on VHS, and three more on DVD. Otherwise, the rest of the show was kind of hard to come by until Quack Pack was added to Disney+.
  • The Other Darrin:
    • Due to having different personalities, Jeannie Elias, Elizabeth Daily, and Pamela Adlon replace Russi Taylor as Huey, Dewey, and Louie for this series.
    • Kath Soucie replaces Patricia Parris (the voice of Daisy for many 1980s projects) as the voice of Daisy Duck for this series.
    • For some unexplained reason, the Latin American Spanish dub was dubbed in Los Angeles, rather than Mexico unlike DuckTales (1987) for Donald, his nephews and Daisy; also, this is was one of the last Disney-produced series dubbed in Spanish in the U.S. before moving all the dubbing to either Mexico or Argentina.
    • In the Japanese dub, Chika Sakamoto voiced Huey, Dewey and Louie, replacing all their respective voice actresses who dubbed them in both DuckTales (1987) and previous shorts. Likewise, Mika Doi became Daisy's current voice actress since this show onwards, replacing her previous voice actress Eriko Hara.
  • Troubled Production: Not as bad as some, but according to an ASIFA interview with Kurt Anderson (one of two directors on the series), it was a stressful show to work on. Part of the reason was they were too many cooks in the kitchen, so things took longer than they should have on a TV production schedule (the show was in production as early as 1993, which explains why a brief clip appears in an early episode of Gargoyles). As this was Kurt's first directorial job, it was definitely a learning experience.
  • What Could Have Been: One of the discarded concepts for the show was for it to be an actual sequel to DuckTales, with Donald taking the nephews back from Scrooge in the pilot episode. However, it was decided that the show should follow the cartoons in spirit rather than the comic books, hence all the human characters, the emphasis on slapstick and the absence of characters that originated in the comics.
  • Working Title: Was going to be "Duck Daze." There are relics of this in the lyrics of the opening.
