- Quotes
[first lines]
Narrator: For many years, England was ruled by a wise and good king, and the people flourished and were very happy, but by and by, the good king became ill, and a darkness fell over the countryside. As the king grew weaker, his captain of the guard, a ruthless and greedy man, saw his chance to rob and terrorize the people of England, and worst of all, in the king's name. It seemed that no one could save the kingdom of England from the thieving captain and his ruthless henchmen... until one day...
- Crazy creditsThis movie doesn't end with the Walt Disney Pictures logo, only the credits "This motion picture was created by Walt Disney Pictures" and "Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, Inc."
- Alternate versionsThe original theatrical version included a scene before the ending credits featuring Horace Horsecollar telling the audiences that they will be experiencing an intermission and encourages the audience to get snacks before the feature begins while Mickey and the Prince make fun of him, they then tell the audience to stay tuned for The Rescuers Down Under (1990) while a countdown begins.

Written by Fred Murray and R.P. Weston
The story begins as 'the good king is dying'! This obviously was NOT inspired by the original Mark Twain story or history, as the 'good king' was Henry VIII--one of history's biggest self-indulgent jerks! His admonition to rule justly and wisely is hilarious in light of his abominable record during his rather bloody reign! And, throughout the cartoon, many liberties were taken with the Twain story and it obviously was used only broadly. Some of this can be understood--the story was not originally written for Mickey, goofy and Donald! But a lot of it just showed indifference to the story--and that is a shame. However, the art is so wonderful and the overall film is still a lot of fun...hence in light of all my complaints, I still give this one a 10.
