The Three Musketeers (2004) Review

I found this new Disney cartoon to be entertaining, amusing, and better than anticipated. It's only 60 minutes in length and the time goes by pretty quickly.
After a lame opening with a French turtle, it picks up, and probably gets better as it goes. You won't find a whole lot of connection between this and the Alexander Dumas story, but if you were expecting a literal adaptation you've obviously come to the wrong place. I liked the sense of humor of the movie and I got a few chuckles out of it.
The animation is pretty good for a direct-to-video feature. It looks better than most cartoons on television. The DVD picture is adequate.
The voices are well done. Mickey, Goofy, and Donald sound exactly like they should. Captain Pete was a fun villain.
I liked how famous classical music was used for the songs. Selections include Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers (Nutcracker), Strauss' Blue Danube, Bizet's Carmen, Beethoven's 5th symphony (quickly), and others, all of which are very recognizable.
The special features are both good and bad. Let me review the bad first: I didn't see much value to the deleted scenes, which are shown in one five-minute reel, mostly in a rough-cut animated storyboard format. An optional commentary track over the deleted scenes is provided not by the director, but by a Disney VP executive. The Opera game basically just allows you to select one of three backgrounds and one of three characters ... and watch them sing. That's it. One "feature" lets you jump right to any song in the movie, which is not much of a feature since ... well, isn't that what "scene selections" are for?
As for the worthwhile bonus material, the "Many Hats of Mickey" is one of the best features: you select one of 9 Mickey hats, and see a short scene from a classic Mickey cartoon, such as Fantasia, etc. Another highlight is the "Cast Commentary," in which Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Pete provide an audio commentary over a 5-minute scene of the movie. They take it seriously and I liked the idea a lot. The Behind the Scenes documentary, which lasts 9 minutes, is entertaining and features interviews with the crew, who all act like they actually filmed Mickey, et al., and it's amusing.
All in all, Disney's Three Musketeers is a good production that should entertain children while at the same time be enjoyable for adults.

The Three Musketeers (2004) Overview

"Classic Disney characters and a classic story unite for a colorful and witty new comic adventure" (Gerry Putzer, New York Daily News) in the musical, full-length movie based on the timeless tale "The Three Musketeers." Best buddies Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are small-time janitors with big dreams of becoming Musketeers. Their lives are turned upside down when Peg-Leg Pete, captain of the Musketeers, and his sinister lieutenant Clarabelle use them in a dastardly plot to rid the kingdom of Princess Minnie -- the only mouse standing in Pete's way of the throne. Mickey, Donald, and Goofy may not look like heroes, but they have a surprise for Pete. Powered by teamwork and friendship, they soon learn that they can accomplish anything if they work together. Packed with swashbuckling action and six rousing songs -- featuring comical spins on classical music by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and others -- this exciting musical comedy is sure to be a hit with the entire family.
