The Prince and the Pauper is a 1990 American animated comedy action adventure short film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and directed by George Scribner. Featuring the voice of Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse, it is based on the 1881 novel of the same name by Mark Twain. It was Disney's final use of the traditional ink-and-paint and camera process for a theatrical product,[1] before the CAPS digital-ink-and-paint process rendered the traditional techniques and equipment obsolete.[2] It's also the final Mickey Mouse short to use the APT process. Some objects, such as the carriage, were created on computers before being printed out on paper and photocopied onto animation cels.[3] The animation was given a watercolor look and based on Disney's style from the late 30s, influenced by Fred Moore.[4]

The film was released on November 16, 1990, as the first animated short produced by Disney to accompany the original release of a Disney animated feature, accompanying the original release of The Rescuers Down Under.
