In the 2004 animated film Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers
The Plot: "All for One and Donuts for All"
The film opens at the fictional "Musketeers Academy" in Paris. Mickey, Donald, and Goofy aren't heroes; they are the janitors, cooks, and stable hands. Dreaming of joining the elite Musketeers, they are repeatedly told by Captain Pete (in a tyrannical dual role as Captain of the Guard and the villain) that they are useless. Pete’s plan is simple: eliminate the real Musketeers and frame Princess Minnie so he can take over the throne.
. Pete, the villainous Captain of the Musketeers, exploits this by hiring the trio specifically because he believes they are "pa-the-tic." Goofy’s journey is one of self-actualization; he must learn that his "goofiness" is not a disability, but a different way of processing the world. Comedy as a Tactical Advantage

Yet, in 2004, Disney successfully melded these two worlds with "Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers."
But the highlight for Goofy fans is the reprise of "All for One" at the end. Goofy leads the chorus, finally wearing the Musketeer tabard with pride. He belts out the line "One for all and all for one!" with a confidence that genuinely brings a tear to the eye.
