Editorial Review:
"Duck Power triumphs again!" (American Movie Classics) when everyone's favorite peewee hockey team returns to the ice for more slapshot action and slapstick laughter! The Mighty Ducks are thrilled to be chosen to compete in the Junior Goodwill Games as Team USA. They'll be facing off against the best teams from all over the world -- including the meanest team that ever sliced up the ice! Are they out of their league? Has Coach Bombay (Emilio Estevez) let the big time go to his head, forgetting that it's just a game? But when a street hockey gang teaches the Ducks to get tough, the Coach remembers how to have fun ... and the Ducks show the world the true meaning of Duck Power!
Description of D2: The Mighty Ducks:
This follow-up to the surprise Disney hit about a hockey team of misfits brings Emilio Estevez back to the role of the kids' yuppie coach. This time, Estevez assimilates his Ducks into the higher-stakes Team USA in the Junior Goodwill Games, an opportunity that could bring fame and money. Entirely perfunctory, this sequel is basically an excuse to revisit the eccentricities of some of the younger characters, extend some of their conflicts into adolescence, and showcase their allegedly entertaining but ethically dubious abilities on the ice. Estevez is okay, but even he had enough after this movie. --Tom Keogh
D2: The Mighty Ducks Reviews:
Today it's Wheaties boxes. Tomorrow it's video games and action figures. The sky's the limit!

It happens very seldom that a sequel doesn't flop and disappear in comparison to its predecessor.
D2, however is one of the few that hold strong with the original Mighty Ducks film. Most of the young stars return in this film, and those who do not are replaced by much more interesting team members, including a bash brother and a hog-tying cowboy.
Emilio Estevez returns as hockey coach Gordon Bombay who's returned to the Ducks after an injury in the minor leagues which has prevented a future in the NHL, although he is quickly back on his feet when he is asked to be the coach for the USA team in the Goodwill games. With the infusion of a few new players, some exciting new drills and a lot of hard work the ducks are back in action and ready to kick some Iceland butt!
A little more silly then the first, but still packs in a lot of fun!
Go West Young Duck 
2006-07-07 - 'D2: The Mighty Ducks' released in '94 is the second installment in the adventures of Coach Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) and his misfit team of teenage hockey overachievers. After his shot at a professional hockey career is ended by a knee injury Gordon returns to the Mighty Ducks with a new vision of hockey glory. They have been chosen to join Team U.S.A. at the Junior Goodwill Games to be played at the Arrowhead Pond in California. Isn't Disney so predictable. Several outstanding Junior players from across the country are added to the team which adds some uncomfortable situations with the rest of the Ducks, but eventually they unite take on the hockey world like only the Mighty Ducks could.
Emilio Estevez does an admirable job reprising the role of Gordon Bombay and Carsten Norgaard is a terrific bad guy as the unethical Coach Wolf Stansson of Team Iceland.
`D2' has numerous funny moments and the cast is so energetic and enthusiastic you tend to overlook a lot of the obvious faults and inconsistencies in the plot. Little kids will love it, but older teens and adults probably won't make it to the end. Too many silly antics for my taste.
The U.S.A Ducks! 
2006-01-02 - D2 was the bomb!It was better than the first.After spending time in the off season Coach Bombay(Emilio Estevez)rounds the kids up to get back on the "ice and start" from there.Also a new posse joins the squad and together they become team "USA" and compete against teams all over the world including the seemingly unstoppable Team Iceland.Oh yeah and before I forget another member joins the Team U.S.A/Ducks also-Russ Tyler(played by Kenan Thompson from Kenan & Kel)who was the player with the famous "knuckle puck" hit that usually did some serious damge.Trust me on this one,this is one movie that will have you "quacking" all over the place with laughs.
the mighty ducks of America
2005-08-21 - One year later after the ducks beat the Hawks they and their coach are back this time they are going for a bigger prize to play against other countries around the world to do this they get new players added to the ducks team they are from all around the U.S.A. The only team they have trouble with beating and geating alone with is Iceland their team looks like grown ups. At the championship game the duck wore their old uniforms instead of the red white and blue.
Excellent film, Horrible DVD! 
2005-06-29 - 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.
