In Feburary 2020, the showrunner of DuckTales 2017 Francisco Angones shared a failed pitch involving a Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers reboot that involved The Rescuers as well as The Great Mouse Detective.

In May 2022, Tom Caulfield shared a pitch for a Rescuers project. It's unknown if this was part of the aforementioned pitch, however there is a character that resembles Basil.

In the replies it is confirmed that this character is a descendant of Basil.

Chip and Dale were intended to appear.

The pitch may have been turned down due to the release of the 2022 Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers movie.

Darkwing Duck reboot by Frank Angones and Matt Youngberg

Aside from what I think about the Ducktales reboot as well as the Darkwing Duck reboot, which is a completely separate story, I found leaked Disney projects that talk about the Darkwing Duck reboot. Of course, this is Angones' plan to continue the Ducktales reboot in the form of Darkwing Duck, until Disney gave another man, Seth Rogen, to make a special Darkwing Duck reboot that will not look like this.

These are just the original plans for how Darkwing Duck was supposed to turn out, starring Drake Mallard, Launchpad McQuack and Gosalyn Mallard, and villains like Negaduck (Jim Starling), Quackerjack, Megavolt, Bushroot, Liquidator and Mark Beaks. And there would be Gizmoduck, Honker, Herb and Binkie Muddlefoot. Please enjoy reading and sorry if I disappointed anyone.

Yes, unfortunately for fans of Ducktales 2017, this project was not accepted in the end, so the Darkwing Duck reboot (the question of exactly when) will look very different.

After all this time..

Words cannot describe how disappointed I was when 'Beaks In the Shell' first aired, revealing that Fenton's workplace was still in the bathroom stall... despite Gyro admitting in 'Astro B.O.Y.D.' that he was wrong to treat Fenton similar to how he himself was treated by Akita back when he was a young, bright-eyed intern, and then genuinely promoting him to full-time employee.

It really seemed to take away from the VERY promising start of Gyro's character development at the end of 'Astro B.O.Y.D.' (along with calling Fenton "Dr. Intern", instead of Dr. Crackshell-Cabrera like he referred to him when he promoted him).

Sometime in season 3, between 'Astro B.O.Y.D.' and 'Beaks In the Shell', Frank Angones once answered an ask on his old Tumblr about whether Fenton still worked in the bathroom or if he had his own space in the lab proper. Frank answered that he was still working from the bathroom, and that he was quite used to it; also that nobody used it as an actual bathroom anymore, ever since Fenton accidentally caused an explosion (no mention of whether Gyro still made him work in there or if it was Fenton's own choice, which bugged me).

Therefore, I hc that Gyro offered Fenton his own workspace in the lab proper after promoting him, but that Fenton- too humble for his own damn good- turned it down, saying he was fine and that he was used to it. It seems like something Fenton would say, and in 'Beaks In the Shell', you can see that it actually looks much more like an actual office area since the only other time we saw it way back in s1's 'Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System' (the changing table was even gone), so I think he just spruced it up to turn it into his own official area after he got promoted.

Ofc, the most realistic reason Fenton was likely still working in the bathroom was for storytelling purposes; a big part of the episode was him keeping the GizmoCloud (and his relationship with Gandra) a secret until it was ready to be launched. But still. XD

angones talking about his rendition of ducktales in the art book: its all original! all our ideas! experimental! daring!! all faithful to barks and rosa!!

angones probably when doing his pitch, looking at all the other ducktales pitch bibles, frankensteining the whole thing: okay, we'll need this and that and this, lets take that-

Some days I just think about how Frank Angones had a Rescue Rangers reboot planned and ready to go that would’ve involved the Rangers wanting to follow in the footsteps of the Rescue Aid Society (from The Rescuers) and Bernard was going to be a character and there was a whole mystery about the Society fizzing out after Bianca mysteriously disappeared (a la Della, if I may be so bold) and there was a backstory about the Society being founded by Olivia Flaversham after growing up as Basil’s protégé but Disney execs weren’t interested.

We were Fucking Robbed.
