Scrooge McDuck greets a fan in a pink shirt for a fun back-to-back photo op outside a colorful cartoon-style building at San Diego Comic-Con.

While in Southern California promoting the new Disney XD “DuckTales” reboot at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 , voice star David Tennant (who plays adventurous trillionaire Scrooge McDuck) paid a visit to Disneyland in Anaheim and to the Toontown bank, where Uncle Scrooge himself made a rare appearance.

Scrooge McDuck greets fans in front of his iconic cartoon bank at a lively theme park attraction, surrounded by Comic-Con-inspired displays and shelves showcasing collectible Marvel merchandise.

Besides having his photo taken with the richest duck in Duckburg, Tennant and his family were excited to ride the new Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! attraction at Disney California Adventure. Tennant also commented on what he found most appealing about his new role as Scrooge: “He’s got a hidden life. You think he’s a crotchety old windbag, when he’s actually Indiana Jones with a beak!”

The new “DuckTales” animated series premieres Saturday, August 12th on Disney XD.
