Emilio Estevez and the original Ducks are back in this fast-moving comedy starring the most popular hockey team in movie history! After the Ducks win scholarships to a snooty private school, Coach Bombay (Estevez) announces that he's moving on to greener pastures with the Goodwill Games. Shortly after the team arrives at Eden Hall Academy, they inherit a new coach who turns out to be their worst nightmare when he strips Charlie Conway (Joshua Jackson) of his position as captain! Then, with their scholarships on the line, they face their toughest rival -- the 10-time championship varsity team! The Ducks and their opponents engage in a series of hilarious pranks to warm up for their battle on the ice. And in a thrilling and climactic third-period battle, the Ducks must prove why they are called the Mighty Ducks! "The quack attack is back!" (USA Today) -- and D3 will have you and your family cheering!
Plot: After there successful Team U.S.A. experience they are all offered scholarships to the incoming freshman class at the esteemed Eden Hall Academy. Not only do the Mighty Ducks now have to prove their worth to a school filled with snotty rich kids, but must face the varsity hockey team waiting to destroy their reputation.
`D3: The Mighty Ducks' released in '96 is a case of going to the pond, I mean well, once to often. It's not neccessarily a bad movie, it's simply a case of nothing new to offer after the first two movies. The on and off the ice antics are old and tired and the youthful energy of the cast is definitely running on empty. It's time to hang up that jersey and move on.

January 2, 2006 | | Excellent film, Horrible DVD! | |
Buena Vista (the company that releases Disney films on DVD) chose to not release anamorphic DVDs when they first came to DVD, so none of these films are anamorphically enhanced. This means, if you have a widescreen television, you will have black bars on all four sides of the picture. Also, these discs are absolutely barebones, only featuring a Dolby 2.0 soundtrack and a 1.85:1 widescreen presentation. Where are the extras?! I don't know about you guys, but I am a Mighty Duck fan who is disappointed by the DVD release of this film.
June 29, 2005I love this movie! It is very funny. For all of us girls there are hot guys in it. Well anyway, this is an awesome movie! Buy it today and you won't be dissapointed!

The Mighty Ducks return for a 3rd movie and now are in high school. But there are a couple of changes for the Mighty Ducks, even for Charlie (Joshua Jackson), who acts like he did in the first movie. The movie begins with short clips from the first two movies, and most of the Mighty Ducks has now entered high school and now are playing hockey for Elden Hall. But the big change is that Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) will not be coaching the Mighty Ducks that are now the school's junior varsity team, because the junior goodwill games has named him director of player personal. And the new coach is Ted Orion (Jeffrey Nordling) who will not let them do anything they done turning childhood. When a girl asks Charlie to sign a pention to changed the Warrior name, Charlie names the following teams, the Indians, the Braves, the Redskins, and the Blackhawks. But more trouble happens, when Orion posts the postions the players will play, moving Banks to varsity team, and making Julie (Colombe Jacobson) the head goalie and making Goldberg back up and Goldebrg complains "What am I, chopped liver?". So he gives her junk food, and she gets sick during pratice, and coach orion says "Julie the cat! What's the Matter, you ate a fur ball?". During the first two peroids of the first game, Charlie and the other Warriors score a lot of goals on the thier foe and makes Julie bored, so she starts complain "Come on guys, give me sommething to do". And even sings "Fulton scored, Fulton scores, I am really bored, Fulton's great, Fulton's great, a year ago he couldn't even skate", after Fulton scores a goal. The Nanny's Benjamin Salisbury plays the announcer of the Warriors, who is also a student at Elden Hall.
