Several years back as a young boy I found myself thoroughly enjoying The Mighty Ducks Movies. To be honest I am completely surprised that Disney stopped themselves after offering us only three such films. In the past Disney has completely exploited all of its successful enterprises, however, in this case it would seem to me that they dropped the ball, or should I say puck. Once Disney realized how popular High School Musical had become, thanks largely in part to the same people who loved the Mighty Ducks, they jumped all over it and have already matched the Ducks movies and I would assume that they will surpass the Ducks within the next couple of years. All I am trying to say is that I am surprised by the actions of Disney as I look back at it. I realize that it would have been difficult to keep the same people involved, but that has not stopped the great Disney machine in the past. There will no doubt be new kids in the next set of High School Musical movies and or shows. Therefore, I find it very interesting that Disney basically chose not to continue with the Ducks and over all it would seem as if they have chosen to try and forget them altogether. I know that there were Mighty Ducks cartoons, but those involved actual duck type aliens flying around fighting bad guys, and also Disney used the name on a professional hockey team, but neither of those were in the same spirit as the films. I am not bringing this up in the hopes that Disney bring back the Ducks, but I am asking that they provide us with a new group of kids overcoming obstacles to fall in love with. Bring on the next generation of superstar kids who are ready to rise up from the gutter to the great heights of winning the olympics, or whatever else Disney can think up.
