The Three Musketeers is a 1986 Australian made-for-television animated adventure film from Burbank Films Australia. It is based on Alexandre Dumas's classic 1844 French novel, The Three Musketeers, and was adapted by Keith Dewhurst. It was produced by Tim Brooke-Hunt and featured original music by Sharon Calcraft.
Although chronologically the story is followed in Burbank's The Man in the Iron Mask, the latter film was released a year before The Three Musketeers. The copyright for the film is now owned by Pulse Distribution and Entertainment and administered by digital rights management firm NuTech Digital.
This is the only time in any Burbank production that the characters break the fourth wall. Now and then, the characters suddenly address the audience as if they were in the scene with them.
