"Ye Olden Days" marks the first major role for 'Dippy Dawg'--a character who soon became known as Goofy. However, Dippy is not one of the good guys in this cartoon. And soon it's Dippy versus Mickey--something that wouldn't happen later--once they became goof friends in later cartoons.
This one is set in the Middle Ages--making it a nice change up from the usual time and place. Minnie is a princess and her father, the king, has decided she must marry Prince Dippy. However, she is horrified of the idea of marrying him and he locks her in the tower when she refuses. There, she and Clarabelle cry their eyes out--and are overheard by a wandering minstrel (Mickey). Mickey is caught trying to rescue them and the crowd insists that Mickey must fight a duel with Prince Dippy--the winner take all.
The animation is great and the story quite charming---what more could you want?!
