Ready for a blast from the past? Classic '80s cartoon series "DuckTales" and "Inspector Gadget" are getting rebooted for a new generation of kids.



Disney XD is reviving "DuckTales," which follows the adventures of Scrooge McDuck and his mischievous grandnephews Huey, Dewy, and Louie. And Netflix has acquired a new version of "Inspector Gadget," which has already aired in Europe. In the original cartoon, the titular, dim-witted detective solved cases with a big helping hand (and paw) from his clever niece, Penny, and their super-smart dog, Brain.



"We think that kids are going to love the show," said Erik Barmack, Netflix's vice president of global independent content, "but it's also going to get some co-viewing because there is a generation of parents who grew up on the original."



"Inspector Gadget" will available to stream in March; the new "DuckTales" will air on Disney XD at an unknown date.
