This film was directed by Donovan Cook, produced by Walt Disney Pictures and the Australian office of Disneytoon Studios.

The film's story is a retelling of The Three Musketeers, narrated by the Troubadour, a French music-loving tortoise, who reads the tale from his comic book.

Realizing that hiring experienced musketeers would put his plan at risk, Pete decides to give the job to Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, believing that they would be easy to get rid of.

On the night of an opera, which Minnie and Daisy are attending, Goofy is lured away from the palace by Clarabelle Cow, Pete's lieutenant, while Donald is captured by the Beagle Boys, though he manages to escape.

[2][9] The DVD was the first to include Disney's FastPlay, which imitates VHS operation by starting play automatically rather than waiting at the main menu for user input.

[3] A world named Country of the Musketeers based on the film appears in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.

[13] Like the Timeless River world in Kingdom Hearts II, it is featured as a period of Mickey Mouse's past.

The soundtrack for the film, titled Mickey, Donald & Goofy: The Three Musketeers, was released on August 13, 2004, by Walt Disney Records.

[9] In 2018, Mickey, Donald and Goofy: The Three Musketeers became the first direct-to-video Disney film to have its full musical score, released on CD by Intrada Records.
