5.0 out of 5 stars The first movie of the "Mighty Ducks" trilogy! 5 STARS! February 25, 2002
By Priscilla Stafford
Format:VHS Tape
When he was young, Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) used to play hockey but when he blows a really big game, he quits. Now thirty, he's a lawyer who doesn't know anything about fair play or teamwork. When he gets arrested for drunken driving, he has to perform community service. And not just any community service, he has to coach hockey to kids! His team consists of Charlie Conway (Joshua Jackson), Greg Goldberg (Shaun Weiss), Dave Averman (Matt Doherty), Peter (J.D. Daniels), Gee Germaine (Garette Ratliff Henson), Jesse Hall (Brandon Quintin Adams), Connie Moreau (Marguerite Moreau), Dave Karp (Aaron Schwartz), and Terry Hall (Jussie Smollett). And they are an AWFUL team! Bombay hates the kids and doesn't try hard to coach them, and so of course the kids don't respect or like him at all. Will they ever be able to work as a team with Coach Bombay acting like the good coach he should be? And will they have enough time to make it to the finals against unbeatable team, Hawks? Also starring is Hans (Joss Ackland), Mr. Ducksworth (Josef Sommer), Fulton Reed (Elden Henson), Tammy (Jane Plank), and Tommy (Danny Tamberelli), Coach Reilly (Lane Smith), and Adam Banks (Vincent Larusso).

Great movie entertainment! I just love the whole Mighty Ducks trilogy! They teach great values about trust, teamwork, fair play, and as Coach Bombay used to say, 'all that other junk'. It's also very, VERY hilarious! Some parts you can just die laughing, for example when the kids get in trouble from the principal and are put under detention. The hockey games are pretty suspenseful and fun, too!

But there is a reason for the PG rating for this movie. Mostly it's because of language which at times is pretty bad. Also the kids in the movie are pretty naughty at times. I think the movie is best aimed for kids maybe 10 and up, great for adults, too.

Then of course there are the other two "Mighty Ducks" films. "D2: The Mighty Ducks" have Bombay again coaching the Ducks, this time there are going up against the world as Team USA! Some of the hockey players aren't in this movie, but they get some new teammates. In my opinion (though it's a very hard choice), this movie is the best of all three. "D3: The Mighty Ducks" has the Ducks getting a scholarship for Eden Hall academy. Their main adversary are the Warriors, the varsity team of Eden Hall. If you liked the first "Mighty Ducks", I highly recommend the next two sequels! I sincerely hope that Disney will have the whole trilogy on DVD soon!

1.0 out of 5 stars Ok Movie, TERRIBLE DVD March 26, 2012
By Jason
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Regardless of what you think of this movie, the fact is, the quality of this DVD is terrible.

We were watching our nephew and the Mighty Ducks came on, being a fan of it when we were kids, we watched it together. He loved the movie and so on his birthday we got him this DVD.

Big mistake. I have NEVER seen a DVD of such terrible quality. On widescreen HDTV the aspect ratio is all off so that there is big black lines on not just the sides of the screen but also the top and bottom... the movie takes up barely half of the TV screen! If that was the only issue we could have dealt with it, but the quality of the picture itself is just so horrible it's distracting. It's discolored, it's grainy, it looks like it's being projected out terribly old poor quality film projector.

My nephew is only 6, so obviously he doesn't care much about video fidelity but it was so bad it even bothered him and he was asking what was wrong with the movie. We transferred the DVD to a Standard definition tube tv and the poor quality was not as noticeable, but still really bad.

The quality was so terrible I was sure I had accidentally ordered a bootleg or something... but no, it's the authentic Disney DVD. I can't believe the quality.

So regardless of what you think of this movie, stay away from this DVD, I can't exaggerate how bad the quality is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goal! May 18, 2000
By N. Schoenfeld
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This movie has every ingredient it takes to make it a winner. Good story, fun characters, and a good plot. Its clean like most Disney movies, but don't let that fool you, it's a movie both kids and adults will enjoy. It revolves around the theme that teamwork as the power or overcome all. It also teaches us that winning isn't everything. Plus, it's a lighthearted comedy with fun hockey sequences.

The DVD however is lacking. Bad pixelated video quality, and no features to speak of make the DVD sub-par. However, overall this movie is a very good value and it is recommended.
