The Master,
a-whoo-hoo!
At least, that’s
what the theme song would be for an upcoming episode of DuckTales if they were being a bit more honest about what fans
are going to get out of it. As Syfy
Wire points out, an upcoming episode of the Disney cartoon is going to
introduce a new character, one who hasn’t ever appeared in animation before,
despite being a part of Don Rosa’s seminal Scrooge McDuck comics. That
character is Matilda McDuck, Scrooge’s sister, with whom he does not
particularly get along, which offers a handy explanation for why she hasn’t
come up until now.
But for a special
kind of nerd, that’s not what’s interesting here. At least, that may not be the
most interesting part. Instead, those honors go to the fact that Scrooge
McDuck, voiced by former Doctor David Tennant, will be opposite a Matilda
voiced by Michelle Gomez, aka Missy (aka The Master). And, sure, yeah, okay, fine: That Doctor never met Missie. But that’s
not the point. The point is, it’s a nice combination of two great voices
beloved for their Doctor Who tenures
coming together to pretend to be ducks. Does that not drive just a bit of joy
into your hearts, like a bedazzled stake?
Check out the clip
above for a preview of the meeting of the voices, and watch the episode,
“The Fight for Castle McDuck,” on Monday, November 23rd, ant 7pm on
DisneyXD.
