Mickey and the Beanstalk marked the last time that Walt Disney voiced Mickey Mouse, as he was too busy on other projects to continue voicing the character. Though the film is primarily animated, it also uses live-action segments to join its two stories. The film is a compilation of two stories: Bongo, narrated by Dinah Shore and is loosely based on the short story " Little Bear Bongo" by Sinclair Lewis, and Mickey and the Beanstalk, narrated by Edgar Bergen and based on the " Jack and the Beanstalk" fairy tale. The Disney package films of the late 1940s helped finance Cinderella (1950) and subsequent others such as Alice in Wonderland (1951) and Peter Pan (1953). It is the ninth Disney animated feature film and the fourth of the package films that the studio produced in the 1940s to save money during World War II. Fun and Fancy Free is a 1947 American animated musical fantasy package film produced by Walt Disney and released on Septemby RKO Radio Pictures.
