The 3D animation is good but it's nothing special. A vein of humour is evident here, especialy bit the mouseThe troublesome mouse that always accompanies Dartacan who usually helps or betrays him . Here the comic and ironic tones are increased, though sometimes falling flat. For this movie itself , though , energetic and frantic are the best adjectives you could think of to describe its attraction. The characters are more cuddly than daring, as they were in the books. D'Artacan is still feisty and headstrong but as this is a children's cartoon they had to remove his amourous nature. The characters more or less follow the traditional cannon, adapted a thousand times to the big screen and television.
