"The Prince and the Pauper" is a cartoon which stars some of the most famous Disney characters, such as the humorous Goofy, the hilarious and quick-tempered Donald Duck, the adorable dog Pluto and Mickey Mouse in two distinctive and equal roles at the same time.
We have two Mickey Mice here: one is a prince who's tired of royalty life and dreams about freedom; the other one is the real Mickey Mouse as a poor guy who wants to know what it's like to be a prince. The irony of destiny brings them together and they exchange their roles - after all, they look identical.
However, there's an obstacle: they must fight against the tyrant Pete (the Royal Captain of the Guard), who takes advantage of the King's illness to rob the population «in the name of the King». The Crown Prince realizes this once he knows what it's like to be free. And once the King dies, Pete advances on his evil aims even more.
The ending is a bit weak, but fair enough.
Overall, this is an okay cartoon featuring popular Disney stars, although it isn't among the finest Disney's creations. Nevertheless, the humor is present, the story is different and the artwork is reasonable.
