[edit] 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 by way of a musical number, 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 and the rest in turn try to return things to normal, but the villains keep throwing them out. Afterwards, Mickey dresses in his famous sorcerer outfit from Fantasia and challenges Jafar to a magical duel. Mickey loses, but then Aladdin saves the day by escaping the kitchen and giving Mickey the lamp with which to trap Jafar. Mickey sucks Jafar into the lamp, while the rest of the villains flee like cowards, restoring the House to normal.

[edit] 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:

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

[edit] Featured villains

Besides the main villains mentioned in the synopsis, the following Disney antagonists make appearances:

Curiously, the Hyenas from The Lion King make an appearance early on, but Scar does not appear himself. Also interesting to note, Lady Tremaine appears in a few crowd shots, but not in the song itself although her cat Lucifer does. Even though Kaa from the Jungle Book makes an appearance, Shere Khan is absent. Madame Medusa of The Rescuers is also absent, even though two clips of her could be seen in the trailer. Ratcliffe of Pocahontas and Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame are also absent. Iago (reformed in The Return of Jafar) and Anastasia (reformed in Cinderella II: Dreams Come True) also appear, despite switching sides in previously aired sequels to the movies they appeared in. Also the crocodile from Peter Pan appears despite not being a villain. Jafar's lamp is black, but the lamp Mickey trapped him in is gold.
