What makes this video really interesting and superb entertainment for viewers 5 and older is that it blends animation with live action and carries two separate, full animated features with separate human narrators. [07 Aug 1997, p.9B]

Fun And Fancy Free is a mixed bag with more than enough interesting material to make it worth seeing, even if it falls short of Disney's shameless self-praise.

A relatively minor work in the Disney oeuvre, but it's still quite entertaining, and it also marks the last time that Walt Disney himself would provide the voice of Mickey Mouse.
67
A modest, nicely executed diversion, with a slim, not especially memorable story.

It's only a mild Disney package, despite a dose of Donald Duck dyspepsia. [18 July 1997, p.3D]

Once Mickey & friends get involved with Willie, the whole picture peters out and becomes as oddly off-balance and inconsequential as its title.

A couple cartoons rolled into a feature length film makes this movie feel really strange. It has its moments, but for the most part is rather bland.
