Andrew Coffin (World) takes a look at Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers—a straight-to-video release and reportedly the first feature-length film to co-star Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy. Coffin says Walt Disney "is still producing decent entertainment for kids—it's just not necessarily found among their high profile releases. … The pacing is snappy, the songs are fun (and mostly tongue-in-cheek, thanks to the musical aspirations of the turtle narrator). What parents may find most refreshing is that the borderline offensive dialogue found in so many cartoons (that's so quickly and easily picked up by a young audience) is almost nowhere to be found."
