Mickey's House of Villains is a direct-to-video film, based on House of Mouse, starring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Daisy Duck, and characters and villains from past Disney movies. It was released on both VHS and DVD by Walt Disney Home Entertainment on September 3, 2002. As the events of the film take place during the third and final season of House of Mouse, it should not be confused with the episode "Pete's House of Villains", in which Mickey lets Pete run the show.
While the film is available only in a 4:3 pan-and-scan format on VHS and DVD releases, the uncropped 16:9 widescreen version of the film is available on current television broadcasts (including the now-defunct Disney Cinemagic) as well as on iTunes.
Plot
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 usual heroes of the House, but the villains have to wait until midnight for him to unleash it. After a series of cartoons, Jafar, along with his allies Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil, Ursula, and Hades, takes over the house with a musical number entitled "It's Our House Now!". All the other villains soon join Jafar's plan. The heroes, princesses and other Disney characters are trapped in the kitchen while Mickey and several others are thrown out into the street. They witness the House's name being changed to the House of Villains.
Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Minnie try to take their House back, but Chernabog along with Hades and Ursula stops them from entering the building. After another two cartoons, Mickey got dressed in his sorcerer outfit from Fantasia (and Fantasia 2000) and challenges Jafar to a magical duel using fireballs. Just when the sorcerer hat is knocked off, Aladdin who had escaped from the kitchen, flying on the Magic Carpet gives Daisy Duck the magical lamp. Daisy throws the lamp to Goofy then Donald then Minnie for Mickey to catch the lamp and uses the lamp to suck Jafar into it forever where he belongs. The rest of the villains run away and the House of Mouse is once again restored.
Cartoons
Like the show, the film shows several classic 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
Mickey introduction (re-use in House Ghosts)
"Oooo, it's a Houseketeer Halloween! So grab your garlic and get set for America's most haunted. He's Count Mickey Mouse."

Trivia
- Despite appearing on the DVD cover's backside and in the short "Mickey's Mechanical House", Pluto does not make an appearance in the film itself. Also, despite being used in the film's promotional trailers (via archive footage from the original Peter Pan film), Mr. Smee only appears for a split-second in the final film.
- A trailer for Kingdom Hearts was shown after the special during its first broadcast, and is also on the DVD.
- Rob Paulsen provides the singing voice of Hades (during It's Our House Now), making this the first - and, as of 2020, only - Disney production where the character is voiced by someone other than James Woods.
- Some of the scenes, such as Mickey's introduction, were recycled in "House Ghosts".
- The scene where Donald tries to scare the Beast, but gets scared by him was re-used in "Halloween With Hades", along with the scene where he failed to scare the Fates and said that he will never scare anyone.
- When Mickey was about to battle Jafar in his wizard attire there is a direct reference to the dinosaur section of Rite of Spring from Fantasia. When Mickey appears on stage and all of the villains gradually turn their heads towards him is very similar to when the Tyrannosaurus Rex appears and all of the other dinosaurs face him. Jafar's defeat at the end is similar to that of Aladdin, where he gets sucked into the lamp.
- Oddly, Pete is not the main antagonist like in the show where he would attempt to shut down the club, and instead is joining the villains to take over the House of Mouse.
- Strangely, some of the characters involved in the takeover of the House aren't actually villains at all, most notably the Lonesome Ghosts (who are just mischievous ghosts), Tick-Tock (a neutral character who spent all of his screentime trying to eat Captain Hook), Witch Hazel (who is good in her debut appearance which was also featured at the start of the film), and the Haunted Mansion ghosts (who are mostly friendly ghosts known as "Happy Haunts", while some members of the Sinister 11 are evil).
- Iago was also a villain but reformed before this film in The Return of Jafar.
- It should be noted that Anastasia Tremaine, another reformed character, is also shown as a villain. That's because Cinderella III: A Twist in Time was released five years after House of Villains and thus, in fact, she was still a villain at the time.
- Other than Iago (who was originally a villain before he reformed and became a hero), Jafar was the only villain from Aladdin to appear in this film; Razoul and his guards don't appear in the film. In fact, they would oppose Jafar.
- According to the Reel of Misfortune DVD mini-game, there are 6,469,952 spots altogether in One Hundred and One Dalmatians.
- In the film's trailer:
- Madame Medusa is featured as a prominent villain despite only appearing briefly in the film itself.
- Jafar briefly has Captain Hook's voice and Jasper has the Big Bad Wolf's.
- If one cuts out the cartoon shorts, this film is only ten minutes long. In fact, the film has far less newly-animated wraparound footage than its predecessor Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse.
- Unlike Mickey's Magical Christmas, this movie's end credits are longer than the previous film.
