ANDRE: In this week's episode, we're talking
about "The Mighty Ducks:
Game Changers," "Big Shot," and so much more.
I'm Andre.
I'm Jenny.
And this is "What's Up, Disney+," where
we talk all things Disney+.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
Quack, quack, we're icing the puck
for an exclusive behind-the-scenes
look at the new series "The Mighty Ducks:
Game Changers" with Maxwell Simkins
who plays Nick "The Stick."
All brought to you by Cheerios.
Oh, hey, I'm Maxwell Simkins reporting live from the Disney+
original series "Mighty Ducks."
Just eating breakfast and practicing my lines.
I play Nick, a podcaster turned hockey player for the Don't
Bothers.
We're a new team to the league.
We're not that good yet.
But I have hope.
[BANG]
It's just my side gig.
My real job is making the number-two youth hockey podcast
in southeastern Minnesota.
Anyway, today, we're shooting some behind the scenes.
And I'm going to give you a glimpse
into what it's like to live a day in the life of me.
All right?
Let's go.
We are now here at the Ice Palace.
Here, everyone's social distancing.
I can take my mask off.
We shot so many things coming through here.
And now, it's become like our second home almost.
Hey, everyone, we got a guest.
What's your name?
KEIFER O'REILLY: Hi, I'm Keifer O'Reilly.
What's your favorite part of being on a hockey show?
Because you've played like your whole life, right?
Everything.
I love putting on like the gear and just actually filming.
All right, that's Keifer O'Reilly.
And do you have anything to say to the people?
Have fun.
All right, they're shooting right over there,
a little scene for episode 10.
Shh, you guys haven't seen that yet.
Beautiful decor, every picture was
actually from the time period.
Not really, we just say that.
Oh, Brady.
How's it going?
Hey, this is Brady Noon.
So can you tell us a little bit about your character?
Evan's pretty much heartbroken.
Because he was just recently cut from the Ducks.
But he also found this new light.
Because he's going to start a group of misfits,
Don't Bothers, with-- along with his friends
and have a good time and a lot of fun.
All right, it was great running into you, man.
- Yeah, see ya. - All right.
See ya.
All right.
So in here, we have the locker room.
A lot takes place in this room.
Characters change in this room.
Not-- OK.
Ha, ha, just got a double entendre.
Characters emotionally move.
A little fun fact, you can see right here.
There's a little M here.
I drew that, Max, me.
So if you're watching and see a little M,
you know who put it there.
Duh, duh, duh.
So this is Bombay's office--
got a landline, oh, I'm--
oh, I've seen these in movies.
And we got, oh, this.
Me and the cast, we were trying to see
how this works the other day.
[KEYS CLACKING]
Print.
[GASPS] It works.
Kind of shows how time hasn't treated him the best.
So maybe this team can pick him back up
and get him on his feet.
Here's a check.
I'm going to take that.
Over here is Winnie's cocoa bar.
We have a hot-chocolate maker.
It actually makes hot chocolate.
But the hot cocoa gets stuck a lot in the machine.
So it always tastes like water.
Shout-out to Mike, the props man.
He's awesome.
This is the back of the cocoa area.
Right here we have the register.
It's been almost five months we've been filming.
And no one knows how to open it.
We have pickled eggs.
Everyone on the cast agreed that last one on the ice
eats one of these.
But a lot goes on over this counter,
and a lot happens back here.
Hey, what's up?
What's your name?
I'm DJ Watts.
What's your best memory you have on set?
DJ WATTS: My first time stepping on ice.
Out of 1 through 10, what would you rate yourself
when you started skating, and what
would you rate yourself now?
A zero when I first started skating, now, I'm like an 8.5.
And do you have anything to say to the people?
Quack, quack.
Yeah!
That's right.
Quack, quack, quack, quack.
All right, that's Nick "The Stick" sounding out.
Everyone go watch "The Mighty Ducks:
Game Changers" on Disney+.
Peace!
And now, it's time for What's New.
[MAJESTIC MUSIC]
ANDRE: Loki's time has come.
Watch the brand-new trailer for Marvel Studios' "Loki"
and start streaming the Original Series on June 11.
JENNY: And even more from Marvel Studios,
"Black Widow" is on Disney+ with Premier Access on July 9.
Additional fee required.
ANDRE: And finally, this just in,
we have key art in a trailer for "High School Musical:
The Musical"The Series" Season 2.
Buckle up, Wildcats.
The Original Series starts streaming May 14.
Now, it's time for some second-half
excitement with an original series starring John Stamos.
"Big Shot" follows a college basketball coach who gets fired
and has to take a coaching job at an elite
all-girls private high school.
Well, Andre, in honor of "Big Shot,"
it's time to put on our coaching whistles
and draft the ultimate Disney+ fantasy starting lineup.
Are you warmed up?
Game on, Jenny.
All right.
First we need a center.
They're our shot-blockers, our rim-protectors,
all around defense experts.
They use their body to block out people.
And they're usually the tallest member of the team.
Well, hello, I'm going to go with "The Incredibles"
Elastigirl.
Because she can stretch her body, her limbs.
She can block everybody and every ball.
Doesn't matter where she is on the court, she can block you.
That's a pretty impressive move there.
And talk about the tallest player on the team,
she could literally become the tallest player on the team.
- I think she'd be great. - Yeah.
This is a good choice.
Next, we got a power forward.
Now, this player has to be versatile and get
rebounds-- someone with strength, size,
muscle, all of that.
What you got, Jenny?
So this might be a surprising choice.
But I think I got one.
OK.
[ROZ VOICE] Roz from "Monsters, Inc."
Roz.
[LAUGHS] OK.
Very surprising choice, but I like it.
I think she's perfect, because she's terrifying.
And she reminds me of like my grandma
when she'd get really angry.
She doesn't have to do much.
Yeah.
People are just like, yes, ma'am.
You just see her, and you just hand her the ball.
[ROZ VOICE] Precisely.
And plus, she's always watching the ball.
So she knows where it's at to get the rebounds.
Always watching.
I think Roz is a good pick.
I like it.
Now, we need our small forward.
This is our jack-of-all- trades utility player, someone
who can really do it all.
All right.
So I have a small forward, but she's mighty.
That's Vanellope from "Wreck-It Ralph."
I think she would be a great player.
She could probably glitch around the court,
so that could throw the players off.
And she's like over here, then [BUZZING SOUND] over there.
Next, we need our shooting guard.
That is our long-range sharpshooter.
They need to be fast, crafty, and create
shots for themselves.
So what do you got?
When I think sharpshooter, I definitely
think Merida from "Brave."
She's always good at shooting the arrow from long range
to hit the bullseye.
So she's got to be just as good shooting
the ball from long range into the basket.
And she'll be shooting with her own hand.
[LAUGHS] If you can get an arrow into a bullseye,
which is a lot smaller than a basketball hoop, I think she
can do it with her eyes closed.
Exactly.
And then if you get in her way, she'll give you something
to turn you into a bear.
I think it's a great choice.
Last but not least is the point guard.
They are the brains of the squad, the floor general.
They are responsible for controlling the play
and setting up assists.
Jenny, what's your pick?
I'm going to be picking Mulan.
She knows how to fight for the Chinese Imperial
Army, great team leader, strong, fierce, independent,
just getting the job done.
Yes, so true.
She's good at making last-minute decisions,
as we've seen her do in battle.
And she will get down to business to help us win.
This is a really good lineup, Jenny.
I think we got a really good team here.
I think we're ready to win.
[LAUGHS] That's it.
And if you want to see some more winners,
be sure to check out "Big Shot" when
it streams April 16 on Disney+.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
Well, Jenny, we quacked with the Ducks,
and we dribbled with the "Big Shots."
I think our day has been made.
Well, we're certainly winners today, Andre.
Be sure to head on over to Disney+ where you can stream
all of your favorites and more.
Until next time, everyone. See ya.

Nothing but net!
That was crazy!
- Nothing but net! - Pretty sure that's--
- Oh! - --basketball.
