Overview
First, it's Goethe... Duckburg style! Long ago in medieval Europe, alchemist ""Dr. Donaldus Faustus"" (Donald Duck) can't stand the feud between his uncle, Duke Scrooge MacDuich, and the brawling Beagle Barons. Donald turns to wacky Witch Hazel and demons of the underworld to help him make peace... but these magic misfits just might prefer war! Next, in a retelling of Fritz Lang's classic film, the future city of ""Mousetropolis"" is powered by the world's highest-tech factory. But that factory runs on the low-tech muscle of poverty-stricken peasants... and ""undercover boss"" Mictor (Mickey Mouse) discovers a plot to replace them with robots if they object! The Phantom Blot is in charge--and Minnie's next in line to go metal!

Reviews
Despite the Mickey and Donald stories providing very different moods they both hit with memorable art ... An extremely appealing package for fans of the classic Disney personalities.-- ""The Slings & Arrows"" The adaptation was well written and the gorgeous art by Paolo Mottura was cinematic and stunning.-- ""Duck Talks"" These Disney adaptations are pure, unadulterated fun guaranteed to put a smile on the face of even the Scroogiest literati.-- ""Cinema Sentries""
