The film is narrated by the Troubadour, a French music-loving tortoise who reads the tale from his comic book. The story begins in 17th-century France, where four young street urchins—Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Mickey's dog Pluto—struggle to survive. One day, they are harassed by the Beagle Boys before being saved by royal musketeers, who gift Mickey one of their hats, inspiring him and his friends to follow their example.

Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers serves as a reminder of the elasticity of classic animation characters. Goofy’s performance proves that iconic characters do not need to be reinvented or modernized with contemporary cynicism to remain relevant.

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are not celebrated swordsmen; they are lowly janitors and gatekeepers at the Musketeer headquarters, ridiculed by the elite guards. For Mickey, the dream is romantic; for Donald, it is a desperate need for respect. For Goofy, however, the dream is pure. He sings of becoming a Musketeer with a childlike sincerity in “Chorus of the Bumbling Musketeers,” believing that “all for one and one for all” is a literal, practical promise. His defining trait is not his intellect—he famously mistakes a mop for a sword and his own feet for enemies—but his unshakeable, almost foolish faith in his friends and in the code of honor.
