Product: The Mighty Ducks (1992)
Rating: 4.0
Decent movie.........Not so decent DVD
Okay, so we all know the story about how the Ducks come from behind to win and how Coach Bombay gets revenge on his old coach for many years of bad memories.Fair enough.As corny and as thin as the plot can be at times, it's still a great story with good morals. It's definitely no Hoosiers or Rudy by a longshot, but it's Disney at it's best. It's a classic Disney sports movie as well as a great family film.Now, the DVD. Let's just say that I sure didn't buy this movie for the special features. There's a menu screen with a chapter search and that's about it.Ohh, one more thing. Whenever they re-released the film for DVD, I guess they must have inserted Queen's "We Are The Champions" and "We Will Rock You" into portions of the film and at the end credits. One thing in particular that kinda bugged me is that fact that the original score by David Newman is replaced by Queen's "We Are The Champions" right at the part where Charlie scores the winning penalty shot. It's not that Queen's song wouldn't be fitting here. I just felt that the original score added a lot of emotion within the film. Not a huge deal. I just didn't remember that the last time I saw the movie on VHS.Ahh well. I guess for $8 I really can't complain.
