Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

A relatively minor work in the Disney oeuvre, but it's still quite entertaining, and it also marks the last time that Walt Disney himself would provide the voice of Mickey Mouse. Read full review

Scott Blakey

What makes this video really interesting and superb entertainment for viewers 5 and older is that it blends animation with live action and carries two separate, full animated features with separate human narrators. [07 Aug 1997, p.9B]

Keith Phipps

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. Read full review

IndieWire Greg Ehrbar

A modest, nicely executed diversion, with a slim, not especially memorable story. Read full review

Mike Clark

It's only a mild Disney package, despite a dose of Donald Duck dyspepsia. [18 July 1997, p.3D]

Staff (Not Credited)

Once Mickey & friends get involved with Willie, the whole picture peters out and becomes as oddly off-balance and inconsequential as its title. Read full review

A couple cartoons rolled into a feature length film makes this movie feel really strange. It has its moments, but for the most part is rather bland.
