Premise
Six months after the events of Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers(and over thirty three years after his series ended), Darkwing Duck(Jim Cummings) has tried his best to get some relevancy, but failed. In his spare time, he and his daughter, Gosalyn Mallard(Beatriz) work for the TRC(Toon Recovery Center), a place that helps rehabilitate cartoon characters(such as the ones who were bootlegged) and changes them back to their original traditionally animated designs. However, The Fearsome Five plan to start their own army consisting of rejected toons to start their own studio that makes "cool movies for kids". Darkwing Duck, Gosalyn Mallard, Launchpack, Gizmoduck and Bonkers(who is currently struggling with anxiety) must work together to stop The Fearsome Five, before many toons' reputations are ruined.
