"Das Grundgesetz der Tiere" exposes one of the most important moments in German history to ridicule. The Parliamentary Council is portrayed as a divided, misogynistic and incompetent bunch. This contradicts the very constructive work of the Parliamentary Council in all respects. The creators aren't even above presenting the members as Nazis - even though numerous members of the council were persecuted by the Nazis and were in concentration camps. And it's not even particularly funny, the gags don't work and the animation is terrible. Overall, a huge waste of money. If a film deserves to be called "cringe", it's this one.

Unsurprisingly, the audience is taught like a child again. If you expect quality, you get served bizarre trash.

I was a fan of the old show and when the news came that there would be a reboot, I was very happy. I especially liked that the creators were ordered to read the comics. Unfortunately, the creators didn't take everything to heart and had some pretty stupid ideas. The design change was completely unnecessary and looks cheap and ugly. While some character changes were successful (the nephews, Webby) and Donald was finally included, others cannot convince. The villain Flintheart Glomgold, the most unscrupulous and cunning opponent of Scrooge in the comics, is made a clown here. The same applies to Magica De Spell. Goldie O'Gilt has also been changed too much in my opinion. The series thus has light and shadow. While some episodes are very good, there are total failures. The creators also seem to want to slowly introduce too many characters. I see e.g. no need for Gizmo Duck, also because the character (at least in Europe) was never particularly popular. All in all, the reboot cannot completely match the original, even if I like the idea of continuity in the Duckburg universe - but the showmakers are not the first, the first cartoon artist to bring continuity to the universe was Don Rosa.
