Talk:The Mighty Ducks (film)

Rink In the Movie?

Is there any chance we could gather a list of the rinks the movie was filmed at? I recognized Parade Ice Gardens in Minneapolis, but there are more. Alec Marshall, 9:34 Central Time —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.216.249.229 (talk) 02:34, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Plot summary

I've trimmed the overlong plot summary down to a bare synopsis. Please feel free to augment sparingly with significant plot detail. --Tony 01:19, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Re-wrote the plot, you made it far too vague. - Rory.

There is one aspect of the plot that is presented incorrectly. Bombay did not try to steal Banks from the Hawks. His team didn't trust him because he was formerly a Hawk. In seeking his advice, Hans explained to Gordon that the district lines were redrawn and that Gordon would've been a Duck with the current lines. He then protested Banks' eligibility to play for the Hawks since Banks also lived in District 5 (the Ducks' district). Banks came to play for the Ducks because he wanted to keep playing. He surely would have been cut by the Hawks' coach since the coach was all about winning championships and the Hawks would have to forfeit any game that Banks played in if the protest was upheld. Bombay was fired from his job for refusing to withdraw his protest after the league, his boss, the Hawks coach, and Banks' dad arranged for Banks to keep playing for the Hawks (and to redraw the district lines to put Banks back in the Hawks' district) provided Gordon withdraw the protest, citing that his boss made him coach to "learn fairplay" and that this was unfair to the Ducks. This created a rift between the Hawks coach and Bombay, and ultimately exposed to Gordon what his former coach was really all about when the coach orders two of his players to take out Banks in the final game. - Eric

What's wrong with a detailed synopsis?

Everyone seems to be against having a summary of the story go much further than what one would see on an IMDB page for the movie. Granted, there are probably some elements to the movie that are best left out of a plot synopsis, but I've seen plenty of movie pages on Wikipedia that went into the same amount of detail about the plot as there was in the past, and there doesn't seem to be nearly as much criticism about the length of the article on those pages as there is here. Even other kids movies, such as The Princess Diaries, Home Alone, and Beethoven have lengthy summaries about their plots - far longer than what was written about The Mighty Ducks - and nobody seems to be voicing any complaints about them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.38.121 (talk) 11:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Change to Plot Summary

I'm changing the following line, 'The children's parents also voice their displeasure for working overtime to pay the money to enroll their kids in the league, only to see them take dives.' This is a misinterpretation of the scene. The father of the two boys was actually saying that he was giving up the chance to work overtime in order to come to his children's games, not that he needed to work overtime in order to be able to afford it. He was willing to give up overtime for to see his children play hockey, but not to see them take dives.

Why is there no mention of the plot strand involving eric and the angry/inaudible beaver who lives at the end of the road?

I feel like we are missing a trick by not including anything on what is basically the main 'theme' of the film.
