I pre-ordered this DVD so I would get it on the day it was released, but I've only just had a chance to watch it today! Most people don't realize that there has never been a Disney feature-length film starring Mickey, Donald and Goofy together (plenty of short cartoons, but no actual movie) - until now. I guess a direct-to-DVD release counts, though I wish they would have released this to the big screen. Our three pals play royal janitors in 17th century France, who are called to be Musketeers to protect Princess Minnie. Of course, Pete is the bad guy, and the fast-paced, action-packed story is filled with funny music (composed by putting hilarious lyrics to classical melodies that everyone knows)! There are lots of funny gags, including sudden costume changes from their Musketeer garb into their classic costumes, plus the idea that no one understands what Donald is saying is really funny. I'm becoming a big fan of DisneyToon Studios, because they are creating some downright entertaining stuff and keeping 2D animation alive! I think they did a great job of capturing the feel of the 30s and 40s shorts in a longer story format, and it was great to see Mickey, Donald and Goofy (and everyone else) together in a creative story!Labels: disney, dvds
