Mighty Ducks

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.

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.

Disney's other 1996 television cartoon series was called "Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series," and this had taken place, of course, in Anaheim below the Arrowhead Pond, where their secret headquarters were!!!!! In it are some ducks with power, hence the name, and together, they had to stop bad guys and other exciting things!!!!! They also played hockey, too; there was a manager that looked like that big fat guy in "Bonkers."

I thought this show was awesome; especially the CGI scenes (probably a Disney first for their cartoon shows) where the fighter plane and the vehicle zoomed out of the arena, ready for action!!!!! Plus, I've also seen the person who voiced the character Wildwing on some "Wheel of Fortune" celebrity week in 96 or so. This is great!

10/10

The above condition affects spinoffs of movies that are ultimately preferable to the source - "Mighty Ducks," in this case, accomplished it by bearing as little similarity to the original as possible. Originally "The Bad News Bears" on ice, the cartoon revolved around a group of hockey-playing mallards from another planet who arrived on Earth, and with the loss of their leader wanted to return to Puckworld - but in the meantime they became a wildly successful ice hockey team. (The Disney folks sponsored a real-life team of the same name, explaining the credit for the National Hockey League. The appellation "The Coolest Game On Earth" is harder to justify...)

Unlike the other poster, I don't really think this had the right stuff to be up there with "Gargoyles" - it was more light-hearted on the whole and not really too layered. But it was fast and pretty entertaining, if not the kind of thing that could last too long. The House of Mouse has done better ("Gargoyles," "DuckTales," "Kim Possible") but they've also done worse ("Buzz Lightyear of Star Command," "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh," "Chip'n'Dale Rescue Rangers").

"Ducks ROCK!"
