"Duck Tales" was first aired 30 years ago. Inverse.com recounts how Duck Tales started in 1987 for a three-year run. Hewey, Dewey and Louie were adopted by their rich uncle, Scrooge McDuck, after their father, beloved grouchy duck Donald, was conscripted to join the navy. The trio get into all sorts of adventures and misadventures to the frustration and/or delight of their uncle.
