YMMV / Quack Pack

• Awesome Art: Say what you will about the show, but Walt Disney Australia still delivered the goods whenever they animated an episode.
• Awesome Music: Eddie Money's rockin' Pop Punk theme song!
• Best Known for the Fanservice: Alongside the new personalities of the nephews; the thing most people remember about the show was Daisy’s more shapely design, as well as the time she got incredibly fat.
• Bizarro Episode: The episode "All Hands on Duck", which was about Donald Duck being recruited back into the Navy and later fighting a giant bomber drone. Everyone in this episode besides Donald and Daisy is for some reason a Dogface.
• Critical Backlash: This show has received some very vitriolic hate to the point that the uninitiated would be led to think that it was nothing more than an embarrassingly dated piece of EXTREME ‘90s pop culture. Many who gave it rewatch, however, found some of the criticism valid but also grossly overblown and the show, as a whole, to just be So Okay, It's Average.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Despite often playing second fiddle to the Huey, Dewey, and Louie, many find Donald and Daisy to be more compelling characters, in large part because the show successfully adapted them to the more contemporary setting while still staying true to their classic personalities (with Donald remaining an Unlucky Everydude and Daisy being updated to a careerwoman), while the triplets are generally seen as paint-by-number 90s kids archetypes.
  • One-shot character Nelly the dragon from the episode "Leader of the Quack" is very popular on DeviantArt, at least among fans of chubby cartoon characters.
• Fan-Preferred Cut Content: Many fans felt that it's original concept as a sequel to DuckTales (1987) would've been a better show than the final product.
• Fanon Discontinuity: Thanks in no small part to incompatibility with DuckTales (1987), the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comics, and the overall different tone of the show from what came before. The House of Mouse versions of the nephews are also featured as teenagers and occasionally dress as they did in this series as a Mythology Gag. Interestingly, the Quack Pack version of the nephews actually made a short appearance in either PKNA or Pikappa, tying that series together with this one (it was also their only appearance in the comic).
• Harsher in Hindsight: It's bad enough when one episode has the trio becoming the new CEOs of a company that sells addictive snacks, much to Donald's sadness. But then you read some of the Disney Ducks Comic Universe and realize that Donald's family had been broken apart by greed before. Then it becomes downright heartbreaking knowing he's not just sad that he's losing his nephews; he's reliving a sad memory from his childhood. This even becomes a major story arc in the DuckTales reboot. Thank goodness the episode was All Just a Dream.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Louie being The Heart here, when in the reboot his brothers refer to him as the “evil” triplet. Furthermore, it's Huey, not Louie, who still wears the hat in DuckTales 2017 and is the smart one like Dewey is in Quack Pack. Dewey himself takes on a more adventuring role in DuckTales 2017 rather than being a computer nerd.
  • The presence of human characters in Legend of the Three Caballeros has been cited by Frank Agones as a similarity that show has to this one to the exclusion of virtually all Disney duck media (though it's not entirely accurate, since the "humans" in Legend of the Three Caballeros are gods and extraterrestrial mummies).
• Memetic Mutation:
  • The show's reception has been generally negative, but one particular criticism that has been made focuses on its almost fetishistic nature. Fat Daisy, Donald getting a disease that causes parts of his body to swell, ^note At the end of the episode, Donald is cured, but everyone else is infected, including Daisy. We only see her head expand before she floats away. the aforementioned regressing in age until he becomes a baby and Daisy seducing a germ-sized man are the most cited examples. Most detractors will derisively say that Disney predicted DeviantArt through Quack Pack.
  • Broly: The T-Squad's weakness^ExplanationThe T-Squad's main weakness, as revealed in its second appearance, is broccoli. Saiyan names are generally puns on vegetables. One Saiyan, infamous because his power is maximum, is named Broly, a pun on broccoli.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • If the producer intentionally having Donald severely injured in order to boost his ratings was bad enough, he became a true villain by attempting to kill the duck so that his show will stay afloat.
  • The pirate sends victims to be killed by a giant snake. His latest being Huey, Dewey and Louie.
  • Kent Powers went from annoying bum to a complete Jerkass by carrying out animal abuse on Bobo who is tricked into performing all his dangerous stunts.
• Older Than They Think:
  • Donald has interacted with human characters before in classic shorts like "The Autograph Hound", "Duck Pimples", and "Donald's Dilemma", not to mention the various World War II cartoons. Furthermore, Carl Barks had wanted to put humans in his Donald comics; the Dogface extras were a compromise forced upon him by Executive Meddling.
  • DuckTales (2017) is not the first iteration of Huey, Dewey, and Louie to give them individual personalities. While most will agree that the reboot did it better and that this iteration mostly amounts to them being standard 90s kids archetypes, credit to the show for not making them completely interchangeable like past depictions.
• So Okay, It's Average: It’s hardly a hidden gem, doesn’t hold a candle to DuckTales (1987) and other Disney Afternoon shows, and is a product of its time, but it still has solid animation and voice acting, the plots are never boring, it can be humorous and/or heartfelt, Donald is still Donald and his relationship with Huey, Dewey, and Louie is given more focus, allowing them to come alive as a family more so than past depictions. If nothing else, it's a pleasant bit of '90s cartoon nostalgia.
• Tear Jerker:
  • Huey isn't pleased when he learned that a girl he was dating was only using him to gain magical power since she's evil. He reluctantly takes her down using some marbles, while his brothers make handy use of a baseball bat to destroy her crown of power.
  • Donald's Heroic BSoD when the boys let the Tasty Paste fame come to their hands. He looks at a picture of them sadly. Fortunately, it was All Just a Dream.
  • Daisy and the triplets go Mass "Oh, Crap!" when a Mad Scientist is possessing a sick Donald for an Evil Plan. They try to get through to the duck, with Daisy shaking a brainwashed Donald and demanding the scientist let her boyfriend go. This convinces the triplets to go into Donald's body and stop the infection at the source.
