El príncipe y el mendigo

Maybe this film is not the best that Disney's has produced, but it has many merits of its own. For one thing, the artists have managed to have at least have an element of the satire of the Twain book as with the Prince's lesson about the only two lines you need to learn as a king.

Furthermore, while the humour is excellent, the film allows for at least a few moments of legitimate drama. Nowhere is this more evident than when the Prince learns that his father has died. You see Mickey in mourning and then soulfully rise to his new responsibility as the true heir to the throne who must end the tyranny he has seen among his people. It's an inspiring moment to see the boy realize the weight of his duties and face them with a new maturity.

This film is a stellar effort from Disney's second golden age.

The Prince and the pauper is a cartoon, inwhich a prince and a pauper look the same(both are a Mickey Mouse-character). The two characters switch roles, which leads to quite a few complications. There is great animation, familiar faces like Donald and Goofy, and an okay story. Not Disney`s best, but worth a look. 7/10

I would give it eleven stars but they wouldn't let me.

It is very family-friendly and has a happy ending, whelp this is kind a like the royal version of Mickey's Christmas Carol.

The Prince and the pauper is based of of the Classic story made by Mark Twain, made it more family friendly (ex. less dark, no mention of the dad in the Mark Twain book swearing)

It is good for a family movie night (if they don't have time to see a full length film)

Rating 11/10 {I rate it for age 8+ (also mature 7 and 6 year old's)}

It is currently on Netflix and Walt Disney Short Films DVD

I absolutely love it! Mickey's my favorite Disney character, and his pal Pluto; Donald Duck, who is also in this film as a valet. It's the best short film ever made in Disney Studios' "Renaissance" years.

I love the storyline. I thought it'd be a superb adaptation of Mark Twain's classic book of the same name, featuring Mickey and his friends. Twain is also the author of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." I enjoy literary films, even theatrical shorts. Personally, I think Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy too are wonderful character actors of their time.

Disney's short adaptation of "The Prince and the Pauper" delivers the expected slapstick stuff, with appearances by a number of the Mouse House's famous characters. I've never read Mark Twain's original story, although it's safe to guess that this is a loose adaptation even so. One thing that I noticed was that Frank Welker voiced both the king and archbishop. This was unusual for him. While he often provides voices for cartoons - namely Fred on "Scooby Doo" and Ray on "The Real Ghostbusters" - it seems like he seldom does multiple voices in a single production (he often provides voice effects, as in "All Dogs Go to Heaven"). As for some of the other cast members, Arthur Burghardt, who voices Pete, played the Great Ahmed Kahn in "Network", while Elvia Allman, who voices Clarabelle, appeared as Lucy's and Ethel's boss in the candy factory.

Anyway, it's nothing special but entertaining.
