The Prince and the Pauper

Feels rushed and half-baked at only 25 minutes. A longer running time and a slower pace would have benefited this story.

Mickey and the Beanstalk is much, much better.

Honestly, Mickey never appealed to me. A decent attempt by Disney to revitalize its franchises, but it never got to what made the characters great. It just did something different.

I have a strong compulsion to see this now!

I've never been a big fan of the character Mickey Mouse would eventually turn into. In the early comics and short films he was cool, but he went on to become a totally uninteresting and flat character. Anyway, he's not being Mickey Mouse here, so it doesn't matter much. I don't really remember anything very specific about this piece, to be honest. It's probably okay.

A wonderfully condensed adaptation of a classic.
