* According to WordOfGod, the central theme of the series is family. This theme is explored not only through the protagonists, but also the antagonists and side characters: the Beagle Boys are a band of brothers, led by their mother; Magica De Spell works with her niece Lena, but their relationship is quite rough; and Little Bulb views Gyro Gearloose as its father. Even Glomgold claims in the first episode that his employees are the greatest treasure of all, only a few minutes after Launchpad said the same about family.

* In the new series, the triplets are generally shown to be easily excitable and impressed with tacky places like Funso's Funzone, and also delighted by Macaw's neon splendors, and they easily fall into the distractions of the Floor Manager Toad Liu Hai? Do the kids, and Webby, have bad taste? Well it makes sense when you consider how sheltered the kids are, and how different their generation is from Scrooge's and Donald's.
** Webby was raised by Beakley and spent most of her childhood in the mansion, having a FriendlessBackground. She has an overactive imagination, and one of the reasons she’s charmed by Lena is that the latter has been to UsefulNotes/{{London}} and UsefulNotes/{{Paris}}. To Webby, a place like Funso's would feel new and fresh even if it’s a low-rent amusement arcade, because that's how isolated she is.
** The triplets were raised by Donald in his PerpetualPoverty phase. And the Pilot proves that Donald couldn't afford to take them on vacations (see the picture where he proudly shows them at a mall with a cutout of the Grand Canyon since he can't take them to the real one). In the first scene, the triplets plan to take the houseboat to St. Canard and Cape Suzette while Donald is away, proving how sheltered they were and how they hadn't seen much. To them a place like Funso's Funzone, tacky as it is, would be a huge fun happening, even if it’s the nearest thing Donald can afford. As such for them, stuff like the wonders at Macaw, the pretentious floor-show of Aquarioon of Aqurarien, the Jade Tiger, and so on would be really special, whereas for Scrooge, or for some viewers, it's really pretentious.
** Without really spelling this outright, the show manages to give a sense of the multi-generation divide. Scrooge is the kid born in UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}} and came to America to make his fortune and has SeenItAll. Donald is the middle generation, the struggling single parent who regardless of his hard work and achievements has little to show for it, and barely scrapes away to make ends meet, but who generally has contempt for the adventures and see-the-world glamour that Scrooge espouses. The triplets coming after Donald, and growing up in austere circumstances naturally gravitate to Scrooge's world, because that's how the cycle of generational divides happen, as mirrored in the real world between Greatest Generation-Baby Boomers-Millennials, not that Scrooge, Donald and the triplets are allegories or analogs for the same given the show's AmbiguousTimePeriod approach.
* The show is not afraid to show what happens when fame and money are given to the wrong people and/or with little effort, as opposed to Scrooge, who worked hard for his fortune and has people he cares deeply about. Flintheart Glomgold isn't satisfied with being the second-richest duck in the world; instead, he refuses to stop until he proves he can be better than [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Scrooge]] (or arguably ''become'' Scrooge). Mark Beaks is an EntitledBastard who considers his employees ultimately disposable and is more than willing to use unscrupulous means to make money [[KarmaHoudini (and get away with it)]] because in his mind, [[ItsAllAboutMe he deserves it.]] Gladstone Gander, while more of an AntiHero, has had everything in life handed to him on a silver platter because of his [[BornLucky supernatural good luck]], leaving him literally unable to actually work for something he wants. Doofus Drake UsedToBeASweetKid before his grandmother left him her fortune when he was too young to handle it, turning him into a CreepyChild who literally treats his parents like servants. And finally, when [[spoiler:Louie gets control of billions]], he can't handle it; not because he's inherently evil, but because he clearly isn't ready for that much responsibility.
* Flintheart Glomgold's Scottish accent sounds extremely fake, and unlike Scrooge, he's not voiced by a real Scot. Which makes perfect sense, because he's actually a South African putting on the accent.

** Also once Donald was back that only added more legalese to get through: custody intricacies and parental rights that needed to be cleared up by her son's guardian (Donald). While it is quite clear Donald did not lose any rights to the boys or anything that would need to be cleared up and clarified and otherwise sorted out. That's even more boring legalese and even more time off for the both of them. Season 3 adventures that were missed for reasons other than 'I can't trust those two to solve a puzzle let alone wrestle together' could very well have had the two filling mind-numbing paper work in front of lawyers.
