So I am looking into this "Duck Daze"... so, it was the original concept for "Quack Pack" where it would have been more faithful to the old Donald franchise?
Not an official spin-off, no. Simply several years after Duck Tales. Donald is back from the Navy... and the boys have grown into teens.
[...]
However, [Scrooge] WAS actually part of the original premise. He wanted Donald to "grow up," cuz he knew that Donald would inherit the McDuck fortune someday... and would probably lose it all. So the series started off as a "test" to see if Donald could handle the job. On-the-job training, so to speak. I think we had Donald moving from department to department in the McDuck corporation, and he screwed up all the time... but the nephews kept helping Unca Donald out. Yes, that was the ORIGINAL Duck Daze series idea. I recall now. That's what I pitched. Donald was definitely the star... but he took a backseat later in the development.)
