The 1947 Walt Disney animated film “Fun and Fancy Free,” the only full-length movie to star all four of Disney’s most famous animated characters Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Jiminy Cricket and Goofy comes out on video for the first time Tuesday.

This musical was the last animated feature for which Disney himself recorded the voice of Mickey Mouse.

The 73-minute film, celebrating its golden anniversary, lists for $26.99 and includes an appearance by Edgar Bergen and a vocal performance by Dinah Shore, a bonus 14-minute look at Disney voicing Mickey Mouse plus “Walt Disney: The Man and the Mouse,” a commemorative booklet.
