    disneys ninth animated classic is one of five strait disney classics that bring together animated shorts rather than one feature length story. although the bongo story is worthwhile it is obviously the mickey and the beanstalk story that makes this a repeatable film. a classic ...( read more)tale.

    As a child, I owned both stories on VHS and loved them, so decided to rent the DVD version of both together.

    Fun and Fancy Free features two shorter films, Bongo, along with Mickey and the Beanstalk.

    The first tells of a circus bear named Bongo who dreams of a better life and ...( read more)soon gets a chance to live it and find true love.

    The latter is the Disney version of the classic "Jack and the Beanstalk" with Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in the main roles. After the magical harp is stolen from the castle of Happy Valley, all is turned to misery. Mickey decides to sell his cow for money, but instead gains three magic beans, which turn into a magical beanstalk, that allows the gang to find out who stole the harp and try and get her back.

    Both stories are charming and cute, and still work today. The DVD contains some extra features, including a Trivia game, a read-along storybook, and a mini documentary, including some new information about the shorts.

    Overall, Fun and Fancy Free is a great movie to watch for any fan of animation, as well as for the Disney fan.

    I loved these short sketches Disney used to do.

    MIckey, Donald and Goofy's recreation of Jack and the Beanstalk is amusing and entertaining, but the stupid dummies' comments almost throughout ruined it. The Bongo piece is fun as well, but at the same time, Disney can churn that stuff out like clockwork, so it's nothing notewor...( read more)thy, really.

    Includes "Mickey and the Beanstock" which is super good!

    The stories of both Bongo and Mickey and the Beanstalk are wonderful and fun while Edgar Bergen adds extra humor and Jiminy Cricket is just as enjoyable as he was in Pinnochio.
