Fresh and Exciting

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Everlasting war between fans of DC and Marvel universes sucked me in pointless thinking of which one is better for a while. I don't know who's better, but I know that both can kiss Disney's ass. As a kid I was comic-books fan. There were superhero comics mentioned above, than Il Grande Blek, Za-Gor-Te-Nay, Martin Mystery, Dylan Dog and bunch of others. I gave up on comics long time ago and the only one I still cherish is unsurpassed Alan Ford. But as a child, I did not rejoice in anything as much as I rejoiced Mickey and company.Mickey, Donald and Goofy, as three musketeers, are saving princess, followed by original lyrics written on the famous compositions of legends of classical music. I don't know why I decided to watch this at all. I suppose I wanted to take a look at how Mickey looks like nowadays and turn it off in a few minutes, but I ended up watching it till the end with a smile from ear to ear. And to be honest, I didn't feel so cheerful for a long time. Disney forever <38/10

Historically during Disney's classic era back in the 40s and 50s, they tried to emulate Warner Brothers and MGM's humor, but slowed down to allow kids to digest the jokes with their parents. The kids didn't always get the jokes, but the parents smiled knowingly nevertheless, even though they didn't laugh much. If you wanted to laugh, then you saw a WB or MGM toon. Disney was strictly kids fare. Disney has tried to reinvent themselves since maybe about the mid 90s or so, but bringing us, dare I say it, half baked sequels or animated films related to classic Disney properties. I am told that Michael Eisner was responsible for this new tact, and I can't say I really blame him, though I'm curious as to what the thinking was for the Disney empire. Was Disney Studios faltering? Heck if I know, but with a series of lackluster productions that tried to bring fast paced humor and slapstick to the movie theatres and home video markets, it wasn't hard to see that it seemed like the folks at Disney were grasping at straws.So it is with this film. The story is a very G-rated version of Dumas' tale, which we can forgive as the Disney people are using Mickey et al to tell a tale of a bid for the French throne. It's cute in this regard that we see Micky, Donald and Goofy (along with a couple of other supporting characters) relive a kid friendly version of the Three Musketeers.My beef is with the fact that it's a pretty lack luster effort in the writing department. The fast paced gags, to me at least, seemed a little more telegraphed and haphazard in terms of logic than equivalent efforts by Disney in the 80s and early 90s. To juxtapose one merely only look at Fantasia 2000, and the Noah's Ark sequence starring Donald Duck as Noah's helper in rounding up the animals. There the sight gags make a little more sense. Donald has an objective to achieve, and the jokes makes sense for the tale. The Three Musketeers is more randomized and off the wall, but to be honest in a bad way.The DVD has a behind the scenes look at the film from concept to execution, and one wonders why more staff were not brought in to review the story board session; i.e. a test audience to see if the gags worked. But, I suppose that's neither here nor there.All in all it's an endearing effort, but doesn't shine as it should have had more talent been brought in to double check the logic and vibrancy of the humor drawn and written for the film.It could have been better.On the upside they did draw the characters as they should have always been drawn. And that's welcome. Not a CGI film (thank goodness), but an old fashioned hand drawn flick.If you're not picky about your kids' entertainment, then maybe give this film a shot. Otherwise, and I'd never thought I'd even say this about a Disney film, but you could do better.Give it a shot. The thing that saves this film is that Disney production values are injected into the execution of the animation, and therefore the film visually carries the audience through a tale and screenplay that needed some work.See it once.

I picked this up from the video store not expecting much, but I really was surprised. This is sure to become an instant classic. As usual, Disney has the characterization right-on -- Mickey's the straight, normal guy, Goofy's the clumsy goofball who surprisingly has brief moments of genius, and Donald's the loudmouth with a bad temper. Pete was his usual bad self, and his scenes had me cracking up. For example, when he's preparing for a shower at the beginning, he says to himself, "I've been looking forward to this all month!" The songs are based on melodies from classical music, so they're tolerable and stick in your head afterward. Thank goodness for that, because Disney's music has slipped down the drain in the past several years. The comedy is a little slapstick at parts, but has the classical charm of the old cartoons we grew up on. However, as one reviewer said, the turtle guy at the beginning is a little boring, but the rest of the movie more than makes up for it.All in all, this story of three underdogs really is worth viewing. It is excellent for kids and adults will actually be able to giggle at some parts and enjoy it, especially since it is reminiscent of old Disney cartoons. I was so impressed that I had my adult brothers watch it, and they were impressed and giggled through the whole thing. This movie is proof that Disney still has the ability to make good movies and that Disney's original characters are still capable of starring in their own films. Highly recommended!

Mickey,Donald and Goofy are back in this all new direct to video movie that is sure to become an instant classic. If you liked the cartoon shorts of these threesomes from the 40s and 50s, You will sure to be delighted by this charming and fun feature film. The animation team spared no effort to make this film as funny and heart warming as the original animation team under the direction ofWalt Disney himself. A treat that will be enjoyed by the whole family.
