The Disney version of Mark Twain's classic novel is the highlight for a reason: it's the strongest and most substantial of the lineup. Twain purists may balk at the adaptation, but then they'd miss the point. It's a loose, comical retelling, not a direct translation. Even in that vein, the short is darker and more dramatic than most of Mickey's films. Deftly mixing humor, drama, and action, it entertains and is one of the stronger shorts the studio has ever put out.
This cartoon is accompanied by four shorter and older films, all of which carry a sort of Medieval theme. A solid piece like Pauper is hard to follow, but there are still charms to be found in its company: The Pied Piper, Old King Cole, Ye Olden Days, and A Knight for a Day. Funnily enough, the first three all happen to have been originally released in 1933 and therefore have a similar look and feel. Ye Olden Days is the best of that trio not because it stars Mickey Mouse, but because it offers more of a story and less the musical revue of the others. Still, A Knight for a Day, released 13 years later, ends up being even better. By the 1940s, the Disney animators had honed their craft and were obviously more comfortable with their work. The Goofy-filled short has sharper gags that fit better with Prince and the Pauper's fast-paced style than the more whimsical tone of the '33 shorts.
