Why would you have blind swordsmen in the first place?!
Not surprisingly, "Three Blind Mouseketeers" finds three blind mice dressed up like Musketeers. Now this begs the question 'Who would want blind musketeers in the first place?!' as well as 'What qualifications did these mice think they needed to be expert swordsmen?!'. Perhaps they'd listened to a few Zatoichi films--all I know is that the premise is bizarre to say the least.
Eventually, a nasty cat arrives and plans on eating the Mouseketeers. Now this SHOULD have been incredibly easy. Yet, somehow, these little guys manage to outsmart the cat--mostly because the cat is an idiot. After all, blind rodents shouldn't pose much of a challenge.
Like any Disney short of this era, the animation is superb. The story is decent but not a lot more. Worth seeing but certainly not among Disney's best at the time.
