D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994) - Does it hold up?

I am so glad I didn’t give up on my original plan to watch and write about this movie after watching The Mighty Ducks. It’s almost as if the creative team traveled 30 years into the future to read my thoughts about the original, then went back in time and tried to fix everything for the sequel.

Whereas the first one had way-too-long pranks involving dog poop and obviously sped-up film of a chase sequence, this film gives us the classic “Shaving cream in hand, feather to tickle the nose” gag. Even better, it’s presented in three acts as part of a team-building montage instead of being entirely unrelated to the rest of the film.
