646f9e108c Parisian screw-up urchins Mickey, Donald, and Goofy can barely keep out of trouble for a day, but since gallant musketeer saved Mickey and gave him his plumed hata token they may one day join the glorious French royal elite regiment, they dream of enlisting. Guards captain Peg-leg, who dreams of usurping the throne, cruelly laughs them awaybutterfingers midgets of no use. yet, when haughty Minnie, whom he needs to wed to legitimate his coup, demands her own bodyguard, which mighty actually protect her, he decides to enlist and propose the bumbling trio, confident he and masked accomplices can easily eliminate and blame those. Best buddies Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are small-time janitors with big dreams of becoming Musketeers. Peg-Leg Pete, captain of the Musketeers, points out why they&#39;ll never make it: Donald is a coward, Goofy is a dim-wit, and Mickey is short. But things change when Princess Minnie demands Musketeer bodyguards when assassins, hired by Pete so he can be king, nearly drop a safe on her. Knowing real Musketeers are too-well trained, Pete hires Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, the clumsy janitorsMusketeers and Minnie&#39;s bodyguards. When people hear the words direct-to-video, they groan, though actually most of them aren&#39;t that bad. Two or three of them are awful, like Cinderella 2, but this one belongs up there with one of the more entertaining films.<br/><br/>The animation is not that bad at all. Most of it is very colourful, though in the more sinister bits it is a little flat. I liked the songs also, with some very funny lyrics(and random in some of them)set to the works of classical composers like Beethoven and Grieg.<br/><br/>The story, while not very faithful to the classic tale, is very nice, and goes at a fast pace. Although, the film could have done with being 5 to 10 minutes longer. The plot has some funny twists, with Captain Pete plotting to kidnap Princess Minnie and take overruler. A bit over-familiar, but it is decorated with some very funny sword fights, and a very funny scene in the opera house.<br/><br/>The voice talents are top notch, especially Jim CummingsPete. In fact all the characters were very well-done, but the short duration didn&#39;t allow the script to fully develop.<br/><br/>Anyway, despite the flaws, I really liked it, so I will award a 7/10, for the humour and the characters. Bethany Cox. I was visiting my grandkids last week and after a long day of activities, and a family supper, my daughter asked me if I wanted to go down to the T.V. room and watch a movie with the kids.<br/><br/>At that moment it sounded like the worst idea I had heard in a long time. I had visions of watching some 3D flying robots or some brightly colored animated ponies. So, imagine my surprise when they said they wanted to watch their Mickey Mouse movie.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been around a long time and I can remember seeing Mickey shorts at the theater when I was a boy, and I had no idea that the kids today even knew who the little mouse was. In addition, I hadn&#39;t heard about any Mickey Mouse movies in a very long time, so I was intrigued to see what this movie that the kids all wanted to see was all about.<br/><br/>And let me tell you I sat down on the couch with my grandkids all around me and we all laughed at Mickey, Donald, and Goofy,they barreled through their own wacky version of the Three Musketeers tale. The girls loved the Princess Minnie most, while the boys like the swash-buckling swordplay. We all like the fun music, with the very funny words.<br/><br/>I wondered if this had been some old movie that got lost in the Disney vaults, it was that good, and had such a timeless feel.<br/><br/>If you want to see a nice little family film that everyone in the house can have some fun with, I recommend this new Mickey Mouse movie to you and yours with full enthusiasm.<br/><br/>I&#39;m Tex Nickle and I&#39;m telling you that &quot;Mickey is still Kickin&#39;&quot;
