Prince and the Pauper - Walt Disney Short
“To govern, you need to say only one of two things: "That's a splendid idea. I'm glad I thought of it," and "Guards, seize him!”
Today we are rewatching my favorite Mickey short, The Prince and the Pauper from 1990. This short was released in theaters before Rescuers Down Under, one of my other top favorite Disney films.
Hey, don’t judge. It’s part of the renesaince period for Disney, it just opened the same weekend as Home Alone so it was considered a failure. And now, all these films are available to stream in the same place on Disney plus. Wild.
The Prince and the Pauper is a classic tale retold with Mickey Mouse playing both parts brilliantly. A poor boy and a prince exchange identifies and lives while the villainous captain of the guard plots to take advantage of the switch.
This is the last Disney half hour featurette to made by Walt Disney Animation Studios and to be released in theaters until Olaf's Frozen Adventure (2017).
Like Mickey's Christmas Carol, this short casts well known characters in new roles. Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Pete and Horace Horsecollar and before long, Pluto, have appeared in shorts since the earliest days of Disney animation. The weasel guards are reminiscent of the weasels that appear in the Mr Toad short from 1949.
