Chivalry is not dead, nor, happily, is old-school Disney cel animation. This rousing animated feature stars the studio's holy trinity of beloved cartoon characters: Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. In the late 1930s, rising stars Donald and Goofy were brought in to prop up Mickey's sagging career. But in The Three Musketeers, it is one for all and all for one, as our Disney dream team are determined to become "great big heroes" in the palace of Princess Minnie. Only four things stand in the way of their becoming musketeers: They are mere janitors in the palace; Donald is a coward; Goofy is a doofus; and Mickey is too small. Or so says Pete, the captain of the Musketeers, who secretly covets the throne for himself. When all his attempts to dispose of Minnie fail, Pete assigns Mickey, Donald, and Goofy to guard her, sure that they will create a disaster. But friendship and teamwork save the day. "I've got friends that make me feel ten feet tall," Mickey proclaims. The Three Musketeers is a royal treat, with clever songs set to familiar classical melodies by, among others, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, and Gilbert & Sullivan. Mickey, Donald, and Goofy handle the swashbuckling action and slapstick comedy with panache, and the animation is a cut above the usual produced-for-video standard. Be "en garde" for it.

All Movie Guide

Based very loosely on the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas, this direct-to-video Disney version of The Three Musketeers features Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy as janitors who become pawns in a scheme by Peg-leg Pete to take the throne away from Princess Minnie. The threesome works together in order to save the princess and the kingdom. The film features a half-dozen new songs, some of which are based on classical works by famous composers like Tchaikovsky and Beethoven. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
