I was in my local video store a couple months back browsing and I happened across the "other" Iron Mask movie you mentioned on your site. I immediately rented it and I must say it is EXCELLENT! In my opinion it is much better than the Leo version. It seems to take on a theatrical sense and it follow Dumas' novel very closely. It is a must see for all Musketeers fans.

Recently an animation based on the novel by Dumas is been broadcasting as vacation special in Korea. The title is ' 3 Musketeers and Albert ' - I don't know whether it is the same as original one. It seems like animation made in U.S.A. Albert who stars in the animation is a very clever boy but D'Artagnan and 3 musketeers are fools. In addition, Milady is very very very(;;;) ill-favored, dull and talkative. - Oh, I can't believe that Milady who was the best beauty in the novel is the ugliest girl! However, I watch and enjoy it every 8:10 a.m.
