#43 - The Mighty Ducks


It's one of my favourite Childhood Movies.

I can watch it over and over again. It was responsible for the creation of the Anaheim Ducks NHL team due to popularity of the film! It put Hockey into Hollywood, and in the process left a mark on every kids movie experiences.
It has a basic plot line but is so well executed and is highly entertaining, plus not many people actually admit to this being one of those movies that they love - A true Guilty Pleasure! It's slick and is rife with disney themes that seem to get everyone in a festive mood, I always watch this movie at Christmas and then decide I can Play Ice hockey... normally with disastrous consequences. but oh well.

Emilio Estevez is at the pinnical of career here and carries it so well, and little "Dawson's Creek to be" is fantastic, and puts on a great show. The characters are funny, original and work immaculately together to provide some hilarious and powerful moments. If only real sport was this magical... well apart from the world cup I spose.

My Favourite Bit = When Goldberg Passes Gas, and "Nuckle Puck Time!"
