are scrooge mcduck and donald duck related? scrooge is frequently referred to as "uncle scrooge" by his nephews huey, duey, and louie on the classic early-90s cartoon ducktales. occasionally, donald duck makes a guest appearance on ducktales, and he also calls scrooge "uncle." of note, the boys huey, duey, and louie also refer to donald duck as "uncle." how can donald be the nephew of scrooge mcduck, when donald is also an uncle to scrooge's nephews? to further complicate the issue, daisy duck, donald's presumed life partner, also calls scrooge "uncle."
and why don't they wear pants? scrooge wears glasses, a top hat, and spats! but no pants?
donald occasionally dons full sailor dress ragalia! but no pants?
a little music for thought....

this is deep stuff.
pants are so under rated!
Scrooge is Donald's mother (Hortense McDuck)'s brother. Huey, Dewey and Louie are the sons of Donald's sister Della, making Scrogge McDuck's grandnephews. Donald and Daisy are actually cousins by marriage. This site explains it all:

whoa. who is this mystery man, who knows all about the duck clan? thank you, whoever you are.
very cogent observations
If you'd watched "REAL" Donald Duck cartoons as you waited for the feature film to begin, you'd know this stuff. Ducktales, indeed!
