Mighty Ducks the Movie: The First Face-Off

Between 1993 and 2006, Disney owned a hockey team called the Mighty Ducks, which were based on the 1992 film of the same name. in 1996, an animated series debuted for one season, starring Jennifer Hale, Brad Garrett, James Belushi, Tony Jay, and Tim Curry. After the series ended, a direct-to-video film was released titled Mighty Ducks the Movie: The First Face-Off. It comprised the first two episodes and the 25th episode.

Police Captain Klegghorn (Dennis Franz) talks to Phil Palmfeather (Belushi), who manages a team of giant hockey playing ducks (Ian Ziering, Steve Mackall, Jeff Bennett, Hale, April Winchell, Garrett, and Townsend Coleman). Palmfeather reveals they are a resistance group against the evil Saurian overlords on the planet Puckworld. He tells the captain how they came to arrive on earth.
However, the Saurian leader, Dragaunus (Jay), mounts an attack on the Ducks’ headquarters under Anaheim Pond. Wildwing (Ziering) is forced to team up with Klegghorn to get through the security systems.

Three re-released episodes is barely even a movie. Disney doesn’t release a DVD of the complete series, but released a video of three episodes the year after it ends?

It would be better for me just to watch all 26 episodes and review the series. And I think I’ll do that. Look for it in the next couple of weeks.  
As far as this goes towards the film itself: #51
