Mickey's House of Villains is a direct-to-video film created by Disney. It is the film adaptation of the Disney Channel animated television series Disney's House of Mouse, starring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Daisy Duck and characters and villains that have appeared in past Disney productions. It was released on both VHS and DVD by Walt Disney Home Video in September 3, 2002.

Plot

It is Halloween at the House of Mouse, and there are a lot of villains showing up tonight (or so Minnie claims). Jafar has a trick in store for the usual gang, but the villains have to wait until midnight, which is when he will unleash his trick.

After a series of cartoons, Jafar and Iago, along with Captain Hook, Cruella de Vil, Hades, and Ursula take over the house with a musical number of "It's Our House Now!", and all the other villains in the house join in. In the process, they trap most of the heroes in the kitchen, throw Mickey and the others out into the street, and change the House's name to the House of Villains, hence the movie's title. (In spite of the name change, though, the only few differences are darker lighting and mist hovering on the ground.)

Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Minnie in turn try to return things to normal, but Chernabog keeps throwing them out. Afterwards, Mickey dresses in his famous sorcerer outfit from Fantasia (and Fantasia 2000) and challenges Jafar to a magical duel using fireballs. Mickey's sorcerer hat is bounced off and there is very little time to put it back on, but then Aladdin saves the day by escaping the kitchen to the backstage room on the magic carpet and giving Mickey the lamp to trap Jafar. Mickey sucks Jafar into the lamp, while Cruella, Hook, Ursula and Hades flee like cowards, restoring the House to normal.

Cartoons

Like the show, the film shows several Disney cartoons. In fact, these shorts make up more of the movie than the actual plot with the villains. However, all their title cards are edited out.

Among them, three of the shorts are classic ones:

• Lonesome Ghosts (1937)
• Trick or Treat (1952)
• Donald Duck and the Gorilla (1945)

The other five shorts were all originally broadcast on Mickey Mouse Works in 1999.

• Mickey's Mechanical House
• How to Haunt a House
• Dance of the Goofys
• Donald's Halloween Scare
• Hansel and Gretel

Curiously, the Hyenas from The Lion King make an appearance early on, but Scar does not appear himself. Also, the Cheshire Cat and the crocodile from Peter Pan appear as villains during the song. Although Iago was reformed in The Return of Jafar along with Anastasia in Cinderella II: Dreams Come True, they are among the villains seen in the film. Jafar's lamp is black, but the lamp Mickey trapped him in is gold.

Trivia

When Goofy called Donald a big red bunny, it's a reference to the Noid from Domino's Pizza.
