I got it to open on my computer. Here's the review:


Mickey's The Three Musketeers

About two years ago it was rumored the guys at Disney were working on an animated film based on Dumas' The Three Musketeers. It was a long time in coming but the film finally got under way and I'm extremely excited to report that it's only a few weeks from being completed. But don't expect a traditional retelling. This is not The Three Musketeers as Alexandre Dumas' originally intended - this however is not a bad thing. Let's just say ol' Walt would be very, very proud and the resulting production may very well have brought a tear to his eye.

At this stage the insanely talented team behind the picture are doing the final music and effects mixing to what I consider one of the most enjoyable and well thought-out animated Disney films in recent years. Even better, it's frickin' awesome to see Mickey, Donald, and Goofy team up in this feature length adventure. Captain Pete is brewing a devious plot to take over France and it's up to Mickey's Musketeers to rescue Princess Minnie and her lady-in-waiting Daisy, from certain peril, not to mention the rest of France as well! Yes, this is 2D animation, but as a critic myself on the state and quality of two-dimensional animation, I really feel this picture deserves some major attention. With fully realized and absolutely beautiful water color mattes and charming, respectful representations that are true to the characters, Mickey-era fans aren't going to want to miss out on this gem. And hopefully, it'll renew some interest in Disney's once-heralded and ever-popular flagship character, Mickey Mouse.
