Mighty Ducks

The basic premise of this show tended to be weak, but their were moments when it showed a spark of inspiration, such as the Duck's initial distaste for humans and the conflict at first when Dragonas threatened Earth. Why should we help this alien civilization? Once they became standard-issue superheroes, the show lost much of its interesting parts. It became just another Saturday-morning cookie-cutter action cartoon. The only interesting part was the subplot of trying to get back to Puckworld, and with the cancellation of show, that was left unresolved. This show only needed a little tweaking to put near `Gargoyles' in strength of narrative.

Boy this show rocks and it is very cool for everyone to watch it so incredible amazing and the games are just perfect too sad it got cancelled in 1997 but i think this deserves less hate.

I saw many animated shows as a kid, some I remembered vividly and constantly re-watched and some I loved, but forgot about until fairly recently. Mighty Ducks was one such show in regard to the latter. Revisiting it, I found everything to love about it than I did initially. I do wish though it had lasted longer, so that it was better resolved, for I think Mighty Ducks is a fun and underrated show. It had a good premise that was lived up to on the most part. It was well animated, with colourful backgrounds, fluid colours and shadings and good character features. The music was both memorable and fitting, the writing was funny- especially the fourth-wall humour- with a couple of deep and poignant moments and the story lines were swiftly-paced and exciting. The characters have great personality, the titular characters are always interesting and Lord Dragaunus especially is a bad-ass villain. The voice acting is solid throughout, Jeff Bennett and Jennifer Hale especially prove what talented voice actors they are, and Tim Curry's distinctive and menacing voice was ideal for Dragaunus. All in all, a great and underrated show. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Key word "USED".

I used to have and play with the action figures. This show was Epic... Back Then.

Mighty Ducks, the animated series, is about super alien ducks fighting a bad guy because he's bad because he's bad. Back then, this show was entertaining.

NOW... It's really annoying. There is no story, development. It's just action, explosions and fighting. Action, music and fighting. I was looking forward to reliving my childhood, although I'm sadly disappointed by the rhetoric. 2 Episodes in and I give up. It's just too annoying for me.

Positives: Animation, voice work, Character personality, hockey.

I'll keep it as 9, when it's a good 5.

Last Words: Stick with the movies. No puck intended.

I don't know where to begin with this.

The premise alone sounds like a result of smoking some funny plant. Do you know what's cool? Ducks! But hey, hockey's cool too! And oh man, let's make them hockey playing ducks fighting bad guys who destroyed their hockey planet and sent them to earth playing hockey.

It really is so far fetched. Watch this only for experiencing Tony Jay and Tim Curry together in the same show deliver their usual masterful performances as the villains Wraith and Dragaunus respectively, simply because only Tony Jay's menacing voice can say "roast duck" and make it sound terrifying.

Other than those two performances this series is a hot mess of mostly one-note characters and an abundance of duck puns.
