This is an early Mickey Mouse cartoon produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:This is a very good short, with Mickey playing a wandering minstrel, Minnie a princess and Goofy (here named Dippy Dawg) as a prince, of all things.The king announces Minnie's impending wedding to Goofy, to which she objects strenuously by slapping him repeatedly. He should have run after the first slap. Minnie is banished to the attic by the king. Mickey sees this and goes outside the attic window to vow (in "song") that he'll rescue her, then floats up to her window and into the attic, asking her if she has a rope! If she had a rope, she wouldn't need rescuing.While king and court are pigging out at the banquet (at which the guillotine is put to a creative use) Mickey and Minnie are escaping out the window on an improvised rope made from Clarabelle Cow's clothing (don't ask!). They get caught because the short needs a stirring ending, so Mickey gets introduced to the guillotine in its traditional form of usage. Minnie pleads that she loves this complete stranger and the king suggests a duel, in the form of a joust. This takes up most of the last two minutes and is hilarious. The outcome is obvious and the ending is cute.This short is available on several DVDs and is well worth tracking down.

This short is my favorite Mickey Mouse shorts from 1933; I am quite terribly particular about that (a favorite cartoon short from which year). Now this cartoon is set like a stage-theatre play, and it shows Mickey in a medieval setting as a wandering minstrel, saving Princess Minnie from having to marry Prince Goofy of Poopoopadoo. Yep! Prince Goofy, a villain, strange but true. Here is a note I like to point out: This short is the first Mickey short that is set in a medieval setting. The second short is the popular colored short The Brave Little Tailor.I don't have any particular scene I like, because I love this cartoon from beginning to end.

This 1933 B&W cartoon is notable for the fact that it was made before the character 'Goofy' was known as 'Goofy'. He was called 'Dippy Dawg'. The opening scene containing a scroll listing the character,'The Prince' as 'Dippy Dawg'. That is the reason for the appearance of a tail, as noted by a prior reviewer. Goofy is not the only Disney character who underwent a metamorphosis, and it is interesting to compare the older characters with the ones that evolved, in this case 'Goofy'/'Dippy Dawg'.

I saw this short on the Disney Channel a while back and it's pretty good. In the short, Mickey Mouse is a medieval minstral riding his donkey. He comes to a castle and sings to princess Minnie who is being forced to marry Prince Goofy. Goofy looked a lot differnt than he does today. He had a little bit of a beard on his chin and he would laugh like he was autistic or something instead of his normal "Yuh-Huck" type of laugh. He had a doglike tail (of course Goofy is a dog, but a human-like dog not a dog like Pluto) As Mickey helps Princess Minnie escape, the king notices and orders the guards to behead Mickey in a guillotine. Minnie stops the guards and after a "goofy" battle, Minnie chooses to marry Mickey.
