Disney XD's eagerly awaited revival of DuckTales will premiere Aug. 12 with a one-hour movie before the series begins its regular run in September. The cable channel revealed the date this morning in the most adorable way possible: with a livestream of baby ducklings.

The official, and far-less-fluffy, announcement announcement was accompanied by new key art and the debut of the show's opening sequence.

Now that you've watched that, we can unpack the details: The one-hour TV movie will premiere Saturday, Aug. 12, at midnight ET/PT on Disney XD, and then air for 24 consecutive hours, giving fans plenty of time to immerse themselves in this new DuckTales. That marathon will be followed Saturday, Sept. 23 -- the 30th anniversary of the original series -- with two new episodes, airing at 7 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 5 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT.

Tompkins as Gladstone Gander, Kimiko Glenn as well-traveled teen Lena, Jim Rash as mad scientist Gyro Gearloose, Josh Brener as tech billionaire Mark Beaks, Keith Ferguson as Scrooge’s archenemy Flintheart Glomgold, Eric Bauza as the Beagle Boys and Corey Burton as Ludwig Von Drake.
