The Three Musketeers

Movie / Show Details

Amazon.com

The unlikeliest heroes in any queen’s court would have to be janitors Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy, who dream of adventure in Disney’s animated feature The Three Musketeers and get their wish under dubious circumstances. Though the trio aspires to perform brave deeds on behalf of their monarch, Minnie Mouse (who pines for a fantasy beau that looks a lot like Mickey), they are held back as servants by the head Musketeer, Pete. What they don’t know is that Pete secretly schemes to get rid of the queen but has, thus far, failed in his efforts. Desperate, he appoints Mickey and his bumbling friends guardians to Minnie–on the assumption she’ll be all the more vulnerable–but underestimates their determined, if slapstick, resourcefulness. Good, classic Disney comedy meets storybook romance in this short (68 minutes) animated feature, which features songs and familiar melodies by Tchaikovsky, Strauss, and Beethoven. –Tom Keogh
