Trivia:

When Disney was trying to develop a Mickey Mouse feature film in the early 1940s, one of the ideas considered was "The Three Musketeers", but it was abandoned because the original novel requires four main characters (the titular musketeers and D'Artagnan) and the filmmakers found it difficult to come up with a good combination of established characters to fill the parts. Sixty-plus years later, the problem was solved by having Mickey, Donald and Goofy not play the original Three Musketeers and thus tell a story that parallels the original but is not strictly an adaptation of it. The original Musketeers, incidentally, are the ones who saved the gang in the beginning of the film, and their autographs are in the hat they give Mickey.

Goofs:

Continuity: In Pete's Bad Guy song, he tugs on a rope and sits in a chair, facing the table, then drops through a hole, to his dungeon, facing away from the camera, and turns around before getting off the spring loaded chair, which shoots back up into the room, facing the table.

Quotes:

Minnie: Isn't it romantic, Daisy? Being protected by three dashing musketeers, and the little one is so handsome.
Daisy: Yeah, he is kinda cute, you know. But you're forgetting something. They're musketeers. Commoners. Non-college bound. You know what that means.
Minnie: Our love is, forbidden?
Daisy: Bingo.
Minnie: A forbidden love. How romantic.

This a good tale on how Mickey's,Donald's and Goofy's dream come true as they go on wacky adventures and do hilarious stuff that can get them into trouble.The songs in it are good for an animated movie and the plot is perfect and goes at a good Pace.No matter what Mickey,Donald and Goofy do their friendship is never broken and they stick together in attempts to stop Pete in becoming king of France and its never too late to see this movie.This a good movie that could make your kids who are fans of Mickey Mouse to be quiet for at least an hour and a few minutes but you watch it too its great!
