1* AluminumChristmasTrees: The Anaheim Mighty Frogs. Not ''quite'' 100%, but the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaheim_Bullfrogs Anaheim Bullfrogs]] were a local inline roller hockey team that were founded shortly before the cartoon began to air and also played their games in the Arrowhead Pond.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The glorious [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYwlXRVWCCI theme song]](with vocals by Mickey Thomas of Music/JeffersonStarship):
3-->''Here come the Mighty Ducks, burnin' up the ice\
4Just try and stop the Mighty Ducks, and you're gonna pay the price!\
5Here come the Mighty Ducks, fightin' for the gold!\
6Let's hear it for the Mighty Ducks: Time to rock n' roll!''
7* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Lord Dragaunus]], ArchEnemy of the Ducks, is a reptilian foe with only one desire in life--[[EvilOverlord putting every civilization he sees under his iron rule]]. Invading Puckworld, Dragaunus has his drones ravage cities and has its inhabitants enslaved. Making his way to Earth after losing his base on Puckworld, Dragaunus repeatedly orchestrates schemes which would allow him to conquer the planet--with him wanting the destruction of entire cities to cow humanity into submission. Dragaunus is also the benefactor of some villains, providing more trouble for the Ducks--with one instance almost ending with the Ducks suffering a conscious dissection. Dragaunus is also an [[BadBoss abusive master to his allies]]--with him subjecting one to [[AndIMustScream eternal imprisonment in dimensional limbo]]. In the series finale, Dragaunus attempts to open a dimensional rift to free his species from their interdimensional prison to grant him the opportunity to subject the entire universe to his despotic delusions.
8* EvilIsCool: Which team would you rather be on? The anthropomorphic ducks who play hockey, or the sinister {{Magitek}} fire-breathing dragon team of Creator/TimCurry, Creator/TonyJay, Creator/ClancyBrown, and Creator/FrankWelker?
9* HamAndCheese: You have Creator/TimCurry as the BigBad and Creator/TonyJay and Creator/ClancyBrown as two of his henchmen.
10* HarsherInHindsight: In "The Final Face Off" (the intended Season 1 finale), the Saurians' ship is crippled and crashes into the ocean. The protagonists wonder if they'll still see their foes again some day, and Nosedive says it depends on whether or not the show gets renewed for another season. It did not.
11%%* LGBTFanbase: Tanya Vanderflock.
12* NarmCharm: Let's be completely honest here, the premise is ''astoundingly'' stupid and makes no sense whatsoever: But the fact that they played the underlying plot 100% seriously (including a rather shocking aversion of DisneyDeath) turned it from forgettably stupid into kind of ''amazing''. Plus, the bad guys are [[EvilIsCool awesome.]]
13* OneSceneWonder:
14** Canard Thunderbeak, the original leader of the Mighty Ducks who performed a HeroicSacrifice in the pilot and passed the leadership mantle to Wildwing, has a significant fanbase who hopes for his eventual return.
15** Lucretia Decoy, the attractive duck who is also TheMole for the Saurians, also has her fans.
16* QuirkyWork: Adapting a UnderdogsNeverLose sports movie about a peewee hockey team called "the Mighty Ducks" into a cartoon about a race of actual, anthropomorphic alien ducks who fight evil through ''hockey-themed'' superpowers and weapons? ''[[FlatWhat What?]]''
17* ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy: The Aerowing toy is a lot smaller, and can only hold one Duck (as opposed to the entire crew in the show); it also has puck launchers as opposed to the show's lasers.
18* SoBadItsGood: In a weird way, you can't ''not'' love that premise.
19* UncertainAudience: It's a TeenageMutantSamuraiWombats cartoon about anthropomorphic, alien, hockey-playing ducks, [[TheyFightCrime who fight crime]]. And yet there's an episode parodying...''Film/PulpFiction''??
20* VindicatedByHistory: Initially dismissed as yet another ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' [[TeenageMutantSamuraiWombats knockoff]], the show has developed a cult following. Many say that it's a decent show as long you judge it by its own merits.
