Les Petits Champions: Game Changers

Having grown up watching the original movies as a kid I was hopeful they did the originals justice with the series. For the most part it is well done, but there are a few episodes that the writing fell a bit flat. The last episode felt rushed to finish. It seems like they could have had a few more episodes and fleshed it out a bit more.

Didn't last two episodes. Glad they got the kids to write their own dialog, but wouldn't it be better to get a REAL writer? What kid actually says that stuff?

I can picture the crew standing in the Covid test lineup on day one.

"What're we shooting today? Hallmark?" "Nah. Might Ducks I think." "Mighty Ducks Six ... but without the acting." "I heard Emilio's gonna be here today." "Everyone needs work."

The whole thing just smacks of low-budget, deliver-anything-right-now, minimal filmmaking. Note to Lauren: lose the parka and the puffy vests in every single scene. Everyone chunks out a bit these days. (Especially me.) Just own it; don't try to hide it.

Sadly, they seem to have missed the characters, casting and humour of the original. Pass. But I will add two stars for their attempt to use a more racially-diverse cast. Unfortunately, I don't think the producers have seen the inside of a classroom in 2010, let alone 2021. Long way to go yet.

Is it the originals you watched as a child? No.

It is the worst thing they could possibily come up with? No

It's entertaining and carries a good message : let the children play. Not everything is about competition.

Movies are fast paced and in your face. TV shows can be a bit more laid back. This isn't the Mighty Duck movies. The first show is a bit slower as the story is established but I thought the kids were great. Lauren Graham works as an overprotective mom. Emilio Estevez's Gordon Bombay has taken quite the turn from where he was 25 years ago but you know that he's going to get behind the down on their luck kids who can barely skate. Some of the kids (now adults) from the movies will be making cameos and it'll be fun to see them on the show.

After reading some of these reviews I would have to disagree with the negative ones of course the first episode is going to be a bit slow as they lay out the foundation for the story line just like any first show of any sitcom!! But I have a feeling the show is going to turn into something big and still has the feeling of the Mighty Ducks and for those of you that don't remember the coach of the New Mighty Ducks was actually on the Hawks in the original Mighty Ducks!! For those of you that are saying it's a waste of time of watching I strongly disagree you need to give it a chance! Tell me how many shows did you start watching and not really get into them until the second or third episode?? I'm a huge NCIS fan at but it took me probably three or four episodes until I really got into the show!! Yes is the show a little different than the original movies of course it is it's going to be it's 25 years after the fact! But me and my daughter sat down last week and washed all three Mighty Ducks movies just so she's caught up when this series started today she's excited and can't wait for the next episode!
