A few days ago I watched the Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers movie from Disney. I noticed a few…things.

Why is it that most everyone looks like Goofy? When there is an average person/extra they look like Goofy. Is this because Goofy is a dominate gene? And along these lines, what about Goofy’s son, Max? We’ve never see the mother and we hardly see a love interest for Goofy. There’s Minnie and Mickey and Donald and Daisy, but the only one we see Goofy fall for is Clarabelle the cow. Is Clarabelle Max’s mother? If so, this could explain the genetics of the Disney universe. It would show that “Goofness” is a dominate trait.

Or it could be that Goofy is easier/more fun to draw.

It’s also funny how the two with love interests (Mickey and Donald) have nephews but the one with no love life (Goofy) has a son.

At one point, you are treated to an underwater scene. The moat is filled with skeletons–that’s weird enough for a Disney movie–but what interested me is that they were all human looking. What’s a bunch of human remains doing in a world filled with anthropomorphic animals? Did all the humans die out? Are Mikey, Donald, and the gang’s skeletons human-like? The skeletons didn’t even look like a cartoonish human-animal; they looked realistic human. Maybe the Pixar Theory about animals taking over is true.

Finally, why does everyone keep calling Mickey a runt? He’s a mouse the size of a duck (aka Donald). I wouldn’t be calling a mouse that big a runt. Donald isn’t called a runt. But, I get it. The whole point of the movie was that each character had a shortcoming they needed to overcome. Donald was a coward. Goofy was dumb. But, what about Mickey? What’s his shortcoming? Being nice? Courageous? Dedicated? So, you gotta go with runt.

It’s amazing how you can go back through a movie you’ve seen a million times and spot new things.

Have you seen the movie? What did you think about it? Do you have any theories or questions you want to share? Let’s discuss in the comments below.
