The Three Musketeers

Good movie worth enjoying.

Good

Tragically optimistic janitors Mickey, Donald, and Goofy hope to one day be Musketeers. When given the chance, they blunder their way through every situation until good triumphs in the end. Evil Clarabel is the absolute best.

When we were little, Mom and Dad got this for us on VHS. My brother, sister and I literally watched it until it fell apart! Flash forward years later and we have new siblings. Of course, I had to share the joy with them! Unlike many movies you watch when you are young and then watch again years later, this one was BETTER than I remembered it! It is a shorter movie but not annoying when watched on repeat, and riddled with the cliche's children (and adults) adore. Great soundtrack especially the "Bad Guy Song." It is very funny. The plot could use some more fleshing out, but that would require time not available when this was produced (for various reasons).

I saw the reviews of this with Ebert and the guy who replaced Gene Siskel. They gave it a thumbs up, and during one pay period, when I had some excess cash to spend, I splurged on a used copy.I liked what I saw, but it felt a little forced in the humor department. BACKGROUND; Disney and Warner Brothers were bitter rivals in the 30s, 40s, and up through the 60s. It wasn't until some bean conter at WB realized that WB could save money by re-issuing and re-editing their current crop of animation that WB's animation studios fell into dissuse as the division was all but shut down. This left Disney and MGM, and MGM was investing more and more in musical spectacles. This left Disney as the animation king (well, at least here in the US).As such Disney took some story styling cues from Warner Brothers and integrated them into their short films and features. It worked. The only problem is that Disney is not Warner. Disney has matured and polished its animation storytelling styles since that time, but when this film came out there was still a lot of rough edges that needed to be smoothed out.Even so, the humor does deliver for those who like zingers in their toons. Mickey, Donald and Goofy go through a G-rated retelling of Dumas' tale, and save the Queen and France at the end of the adventure.I liked it. It was okay. But it wasn't sterling, and, like I say, Disney was just getting its sea legs under it as they took a more classic Waner Brother's approach to witty cartoon story telling.Have a gander and enjoy.

This is a great cartoon and dvd, high quality, we are totally satisfied with our purchase of it. Thank you.

Good video

I love his movie with the music, the students get to hear the music from opera but also have fun with Mickey Donlad and Goofy.
