Trivia:

Some sequences were shot in Cornwall, England. A small woods called Golitha Falls was used in one sequence when the musketeers are being pursued by guards. The small harbour village of Charlestown is home to the galleon that was used in a night-shoot.

Goofs:

Continuity: After Rocheforte knocks D'Artagnian out in the dungeon and tells the guard to "Take him below" the guard walks in and drops the keys and reaches for D'Artagnian but after the camera angle changes he clearly still has them in his left hand.

Quotes:

Constance: [pointing a gun at D'Artagnan] Have you any idea what you've done?
D'Artagnan: I've saved you and your friend from these bandits.
Constance: *These bandits* are the Queen's own bodyguard.
D'Artagnan: The Queen? I'm sorry, I didn't know.
Constance: What's your name?
D'Artagnan: D'Artagnan.
Constance: D'Artagnan. A Gascon?
D'Artagnan: I've come to Paris to join the Musketeers.
Constance: Then I'm sure I'll be hearing your name again.
D'Artagnan: Would that please you?

you've seen the movie, now read the story

simply put, It's a "fun" movie. But if you care about the history then this isn't for you. But perhaps is entertaining enough to inspire a 1993 Disney viewer into reading about the true story.

definitely not a current Disney release with essence of the films i had while growing up, ie "flight of the navigator." It's good humored, some really good lines actually. Not necessarily factural but still entertaining.

I still prefer watching this over "the musketeer" jet lee meets french swordsmanship... grrrr

the comments about Chris O'Donnells acting is correct but may just be from simplistic diolog that does not follow any linguistic styles of the time. But expected from a Disney production. Tim Curry does a fantastic job actually, simplicit still but he does his job at holding together the piece as well as the comedy from Oliver Platt, very enjoyable. But once again, if anything let this entertain and inspire you to adventure into the story of the three musketeers
