Kyle Regan, writing for The Stranger, wrote that Cars 3 never aims for subtlety, but in a movie far longer than the average internet video sensation, the ADD-riddled plot turns, jokes, and gags dragged. Courtney Ferguson, writing for The Portland Mercury, said, I wasnt sorry Cars III was so stupid, I loved how stupid Cars III was. It’s a glorious melange of yelling, nunchucks, lasers, gunfights, dead burned lesbians, the day after shooting finished, Cars 3 premiered at the New Beverly Theater. The premiere was hosted by comedian Patton Oswalt and it was later released on DVD in 2009 by Troma Entertainment.

It featured the eponymous anthropomorphic duck superhero whose alter ego is suburban father Drake Mallard. On April 2,2015, a rumor surfaced that Disney would be rebooting the series for a 2018 premiere and this has since been debunked, instead it has returned as a comic book published by Joe Books, which premiered on April 27,2016. Though originally believed by fans to be a spin-off of DuckTales. Darkwing Duck tells the adventures of the superhero, aided by his sidekick. In his secret identity of Drake Mallard, he lives in a suburban house with his adopted daughter Gosalyn. Darkwing struggles to balance his egotistical craving for fame and attention against his desire to be a father to Gosalyn. Most episodes put these two aspects of Darkwings character in conflict, though Darkwings better nature usually prevails. The show was the first Disney Afternoon series to emphasize rather than adventure. While conflict with villains was routine in earlier Disney Afternoon shows, Darkwing Duck was also the first Disney Afternoon property that was produced completely as a genre parody. Prior shows would contain elements of parody in certain episodes, but would otherwise be straight-faced adventure concepts, by contrast, every episode of Darkwing Duck is laden with references to superhero, pulp adventure, or super-spy fiction. Darkwing Duck himself is a satirical character, the fictional city of St. Canard is a direct parody of Gotham City. Darkwing Duck was developed as a replacement for a proposed reboot of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. The show was a spin-off of the successful series DuckTales. Darkwing Duck entered production one year after DuckTales ended. The name The Masked Mallard became an often used in the new show to refer to Darkwing himself. It turned out that the title Double-O Duck could not be used as the Broccoli family owned the double-o title, a new name was selected, Darkwing Duck. Thus, Stones designed a new character for the lead, Drake Mallard and this name would result in a new look. Other elements of the show, such as Darkwings habit of coining new catchphrases every time he announced himself, where most prior Disney Afternoon series included at least some characters from classic Disney animation, Darkwing Duck featured a completely original cast
