Fresh:4

Rotten:2

Average Rating:5.9/10

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

US Box Office: $0

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
