Consensus: Though it doesn't quite live up to its title, Fun and Fancy Free has its moments, and it's a rare opportunity to see Mickey, Donald, and Goofy together.

Runtime: 73 mins

Genre: Childrens

Synopsis: Fifty years after its original theatrical release, Walt Disney's ninth animated feature - and the final one in which Disney himself provides Mickey's voice - finally arrives on home video. Features... Fifty years after its original theatrical release, Walt Disney's ninth animated feature - and the final one in which Disney himself provides Mickey's voice - finally arrives on home video. Features two stories: "Mickey and the Beanstalk," in which the famed mouse and his friends get caught up in a version of the popular fairy tale, which is interspersed with live-action clips of Edgar Bergen and his dummy pals Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd; and "Bongo the Bear," a tale of a lovesick bear accompanied by the dulcet tones of Miss Dinah Shore.

  • Fun And Fancy Free
  • FUN AND FANCY FREE, Walt Disney's 9th full-length animated masterpiece, is a delightful gem that not only sparkles with charm, but is unbelievably rich in history-making Disney moments. It was the last animated feature starring Walt Disney as the voice of Mickey Mouse, and the only film featuring all four of Walt Disney's most famous characters -- Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Jiminy Cricket. Following Disney's classic tradition of great storytelling, unforgettable characters, music, and adventure, FUN AND FANCY FREE is the joyful telling of BONGO and MICKEY & THE BEANSTALK, two timeless tales magically brought to life by the beloved Jiminy Cricket and the masterful combination of animation and live action. And now, in celebration of its 50th anniversary, FUN AND FANCY FREE has been beautifully restored so a whole new generation can experience the magic of Walt Disney's original theatrical vision -- for the very first time! One of Disney's happiest films ever, FUN AND FANCY FREE makes a valuable addition to your Disney video collection.

    If it wasn't already obvious from glancing at the studio's other work from around the same period, this would be proof enough that the steam was starting to go out of Disney's art.

    Fun And Fancy Free is a mixed bag with more than enough interesting material to make it worth seeing, even if it falls short of Disney's shameless self-praise.

    Mickey and the Beanstalk is the classic here, and worth the price of the DVD.

    While the emphasis is more on the first part than on the second part of that compound, it's okay.

    The whole picture peters out and becomes as oddly off-balance and inconsequential as its title.

    A slight, but enjoyable, Disney animated feature comprised of two cartoons linked together by host Jiminy Cricket.
