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 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
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!

"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.
3. **Action-Packed Episodes:** The series is filled with exciting action sequences that are well-animated and visually appealing. The blend of hockey and superhero battles is cleverly executed.
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.
