Fun and Fancy Free (1947)

Wednesday, July 8, 2009





The basis of the story is that Mickey and his two roommates (Donald and Goofy) are impoverished and starving. The only viable solution is to sell their beloved cow - so Mickey goes off to town to do so. When he returns, though, Donald is upset to learn that all Mickey got in exchange for the cow was a few beans, "magic" beans, but beans no less. As you know, the beans really are magic, a giant beanstalk grows, and the three stars go searching to see what's going on. Traveling by peapod canoe, they arrive at a house and discover a giant named Willie. Comic adventure ensues, and the Willie character is a lot of fun.

As far as post-Bambi '40s animated films go, I'd rank Fun and Fancy Free a distant second to the excellent Ichabod & Mr. Toad, significantly above Saludos and Three Caballeros. It's certainly not as refined as the first five classics, or the successful adaptations of the 1950s, but it is wholeheartedly enjoyable.
