Mighty Ducks

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

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

Mighty Ducks was a cool show! I didn't mind if this wasn't compared to the movies I just looked at it as a different kind of genre. I remember watch this on the Disney Afternoon when it came on Fridays and then they showed the new episodes on ABC Saturday Mornings. This show is about these hockey playing ducks that are from a whole different universe called Puck World. The evil Lord Dragaunus came back for revenge on Puck World after what the legendary hero of Puck World, Drake Ducane did to him. Then Dragaunus took over Puck World and turned it into a waste land. That was when a crime fighting team was formed, The Mighty Ducks! First member of the team was Wildwing who is the leader of the team, next there is Wildwing's younger brother Nosedive who is pretty cool. Then there was Grin the big muscle guy of the team and then there is Duke L'Orange who is the jewel thief of the group. The females of the team are Mallroy and Tanya. Tanya was the technical genius of the team and Mallroy is tough girl on the team. When they were fighting Lord Dragaunus once they escaped Puck World into this time warp which sent them to Anaheim, CA and plus in the time warp that was when the original leader of the team and Wildwing's best friend, Conard was original leader got lost. So now it's good vs. evil on the Mighty Ducks! This show was also based on the National Hockey League team! This show premiered on the Disney Afternoon and ABC back in September 1996 and ended January 1997.

BOTTOM LINE: DUCKS ROCK!

"Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series" is a delightful blend of action, comedy, and nostalgia that brings a unique twist to the beloved Mighty Ducks franchise. Set in a universe where anthropomorphic ducks from another dimension become hockey-playing superheroes, the show offers an imaginative escape for both kids and nostalgic adults alike.

**Pros:**

1. **Unique Concept:** The premise of combining hockey with superhero adventures is refreshingly original and entertaining. It's a fun mash-up that keeps viewers engaged.

2. **Colorful Characters:** Each duck has a distinct personality and role within the team, making for a diverse and dynamic group. The character development, though simple, is effective for its target audience.

4. **Humor and Charm:** The show has a good balance of humor and light-hearted moments, which makes it enjoyable for both kids and adults. The puns and jokes, while cheesy, add to the show's charm.

**Cons:**

1. **Simplistic Plots:** While the concept is engaging, the storylines can be somewhat predictable and lack depth. The show often follows a formulaic pattern that might not hold the attention of older viewers for long.

2. **Limited Character Development:** While the characters are fun, their development is relatively shallow. There's potential for more complex story arcs and emotional depth that the series doesn't fully explore.

3. **Animation Quality:** Although the animation is colorful and vibrant, it can sometimes appear dated compared to more modern standards. Certain scenes lack the fluidity and polish seen in contemporary animated shows.

Overall, "Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series" is a fun and entertaining watch, particularly for younger audiences and fans of the original Mighty Ducks movies. It may not be the most sophisticated animated series out there, but its unique premise and charming characters make it a quacktastic addition to the world of animated adventures.

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.
