Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers (2004) (V) 3.5/5

Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers (2004) (V)

This was a real surprise. I can’t remember why we recorded this for our son, but he liked it and after a few times of him watching it, I had seen the whole thing too. The best part of this movie was that it surprised me so well. It’s really funny!

It has a good combination of silly, funny stuff w/ just a bit of more advanced (I don’t want to say mature or adult) humor.

There’s one part where the 3 ‘bad guys’ (I love how they keep calling them ‘bad guys’ – today’s shows have lost that) are going to dropped into ‘the pit.’ The door in the ground opens, they fall down, the obligatory fading yell is heard… then one of them pops up his head from the 3 foot deep ‘pit.’

That’s pretty funny, but then later we see them again and they’re still in there wasting away the time… like they’re really trapped and can’t get out. Not so funny when written out here, but funny in the show.

Another great part is when a ‘bad guy’ is sword fighting w/ Mickey on top of the moving coach. The ‘bad guy’s sword cuts away Mickey’s Musketeer uniform and his has his trademark Mickey shorts on and he immediate strikes the ‘Mickey pose.’ It just feels like their poking fun at themselves a bit.

Don’t get me wrong: this is no “Cars” or anything, but it’s a clever, cute, funny little show that really surprised me.

Great stuff for our son!
