Mickey's House of Villains is a 2002 American direct-to-video animated comedy horror crossover film produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. It is based on the animated television series House of Mouse, and serves as a stand-alone sequel to the direct-to-video animated film Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, starring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Daisy Duck, and Disney Villains that appeared in past Disney productions.[5] It was released on both VHS and DVD by Buena Vista Home Entertainment[2] on September 3, 2002.[3]
Plot
[edit]It is Halloween night at the House of Mouse and a lot of villains are showing up. Jafar has a trick in store for the staff and he plans to unleash it at midnight. Donald enters a costume contest and tries to come up with the winning costume.
After a series of cartoons, Jafar, along with other villains joining his plan, takes over the House and transforms it into the House of Villains. The non-villains are imprisoned in the kitchen while the staff are thrown outside.
Mickey, Donald, and Goofy try to take the House back but Chernabog stops them from entering the building as the villains start to show cartoons that are grimmer in nature. Minnie tries to take back the House herself, but she is dragged away by Captain Hook.
Mickey dresses in his sorcerer outfit from The Sorcerer's Apprentice and challenges Jafar to a magical duel. When Jafar causes Mickey’s sorcerer hat to be knocked off of Mickey’s head, Aladdin and the magic carpet escape from the kitchen and Aladdin gives Daisy his lamp. She, Goofy, Donald and Minnie give it to Mickey, who sucks Jafar inside of it while the rest of the villains flee.
After the House of Villains transforms back into the House of Mouse, the non-villains are freed from the kitchen and the House of Mouse goes back to normal. Mickey announces Goofy, who is dressed as Jafar, as the winner of the costume contest, much to Donald’s frustration.
