Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

j-jessie-weaver I have grown up with Disney all my life, and as a kid, I loved Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy; along with all the wacky scenarios they would get themselves into. This movie, however, is the weakest thing I have ever seen these classic characters in. The animation may be good, but the film falls flat on its face. Allow me to explain.The jokes can go from kind of funny to outright repetitive and aggravating. The characters will reinstate one joke a couple of times and the way they're presented is flat out lazy. Donald and Goofy themselves are completely out of character.Donald acts like the Cowardly Lion from "The Wizard of Oz" and Goofy has the personality equivalent of Modern Patrick Star, if you were to put that version of the "SpongeBob" character in a Disney movie. The only characters that had some likability were Mickey, Minnie, Clarabelle, Daisy, and even Pete. The rest of them are absolutely annoying.The songs are so-so, for the most part, but some of them are barely original. They use classic tunes and just throw a bunch of nonsensical lyrics onto them. The story feels more like a parody of "The Three Musketeers" rather than a loose adaptation as well, and I forgot to mention this, but some of the jokes feel like blatant pop culture references than attempts to make the audience laugh. Sometimes, they don't try to be subtle.This movie is not terrible, but it's not great, either. In my opinion, like the title of this review states, it's dull as dishwater. This could've been a funny, entertaining film for all ages, but from start to finish, it's a complete bore fest.

Eric Stevenson I admit that I'm not much for direct to video Disney movies. Of course, this isn't technically a sequel of any kind, but an original idea altogether. While by no means a great movie, I actually enjoyed this film! I think the best thing about it is probably the length. I was surprised at how short it was, but I thought that really worked out well. I mean, it was basically nothing but a feature length Mickey Mouse cartoon, so it made sense it wasn't too long. Another thing I admired was how good the animation was. I mean, this is much better than most cheesy direct to video stuff.Having just seen that stupid "Space Buddies" movie, maybe my standards weren't that high. It really is faithful to the original Disney cartoons. I remember Leonard Maltin talking about how impressed he was by a direct to video Disney movie and for the most part, I agree with him. I will admit there were problems. For some reason, Donald kept turning into a chicken. That was really weird and distracting. The Goofy holler might have been used too much. I still liked the slapstick and it helps that I'm such a sucker for romance. Heck, Mickey Mouse romance was actually one of my first introductions to the genre as a kid! So yeah, give this movie a chance! I recognized Jim Cummings' voice. ***

johnstonjames all for one and one for all. definitely. this is one of my favorite Disney full length animated classics. this film is a true treasure in the Disney archives library and an immediate and instant classic for many reasons. it's too bad it's underestimated by Disney buffs.for one thing, i'm not just a Disney fan, i'm a Mickey Mouse fan. i truly love the little guy (or rodent), i have for as long as i can remember. i love cartoon characters, but for me, Mickey is the best. any film that showcases the mouse in this way, is big plus in my book.this is Mickey's only full length feature for another thing. the outstanding 'Prince and the Pauper' and the amusing 'Mickey's Christmas Carol' were only short features and his 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' is only a segment of 'Fantasia'. this is Mickey's first true full length role and it's obvious they went all out for this film in terms of concept, story and animation. not to forget it's charming and modest little musical score.even though the "mouse" is only a cartoon drawing, he has always been one of my favorite actors and entertainers in Hollywood and cinema. unlike other animated characters that are really just gag buffoons, Mickey has done roles that require real performing talent. he does things that other characters or even many live actors don't do. Mickey conducts the symphony, plays piano, does magic and dances better than most actor/dancers in the industry. in his role as a Musketeer, Mickey even fences in classic Errol Flynn style.'Musketeers' is said to have been in production since the 1980's and the concept goes all the way back to Walt in the 1930's. if that's the case it shows. i can't think of a Disney animated feature that is better executed and planned and is so very much Disney.i love absolutely everything about this movie. it's just great and one of my favorite Disney film experiences. Mickey couldn't have asked for a better star vehicle to showcase his talent. this is a wonderful looking animated film, and Mickey certainly deserves the best.

Tex Nickle 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.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.I'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'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.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, as 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.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.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.I'm Tex Nickle and I'm telling you that "Mickey is still Kickin'"
