I remember the first time I saw a poster for Mickeys House of Villains. Ru84WA-c/hqdefault.jpg' alt='Movie Trailers Mickey`S House Of Villains ' title='Movie Trailers Mickey`S House Of Villains ' />I was shocked I mean, all the Disney villains against Mickey Mouse and the gang Who wouldnt want to see that Even though I didnt know what House of Mouse was, I imagined it could end up being a compilation of Disney shorts, which it is. The plot goes just like this its Halloween at the House of Mouse and, as such, all the villains show up along with the rest of Disneys animated characters for a night of fun. Once there, the antagonists decide to make the House of Mouse theirs and turn it into the House of Villains. With that said, lets go deeper into the DVD. Disney fans out there may be wondering, why would I buy this DVD if I already have the Treasures line Well, the majority of these shorts are relatively new and not otherwise available on disc. And in fact, they are very good ones at that. The first short is Trick or Treat 1. The Black Cauldron DVD. Its Halloween and we get to hang with Donald Duck and his nephews.

The witch Hazel decides to help the triplets by forcing Donald to give them the candy. The second short presented is Mickeys Mechanical House, which made its debut on the short lived late 9. TV series Mickey Mouse Works. This cartoon will remind most of a Dr. Seuss story since it is narrated in the same poetic way. Here, Mickey gets tired of not being able to sleep in his house because of all the noises it makes for being so old so he decides to buy a new one. This new house he buys is a futuristic one where everything seemed perfect. Mickey must escape it. The programs third short is How to Haunt a House also from Mouse Works, my favorite and I think most viewers would agree with that. Goofy stars and gets killed just for this, of course and turned into a ghost in order to show, step by step, how to perform the title act. His victim for the instructional haunting turns out to be DonaldObviously, you dont need to be told that Goofys schemes get spoiled each and every time by Donald. Mentioning anything more specific would ruin all the good laughs it provides the first time around. By now, youre probably wondering where are the Disney villains Well, they appear with extremely brief dialogues in between the shorts and receive more screen time later. Though the title leads you to expect much more of them their time will arrive, and appears later in this review. Next is another vintage short Lonesome Ghosts 1. In this one, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy work as ghostbusters. Wheres Dana Barrett when you need her That is until they receive a call from a group of ghosts who are very bored in their haunted house and in search of some fun. Hilarity ensues as Mickey and friends get caught in the ghosts tricks. Dance of the Goofys another Mouse Works Creation is fifth. Fans of Fantasia and its follow up will love this one, as it is presented in the same way as those movies. Music blends with the animation to show how a group of Goofy faires close and open flower buds at night. Things go wrong when a mean kid traps the king of the Goofy fairies and it is up to Goofy to save him. Sixth and next is Donald Duck and the Gorilla 1. In this one, Donald and his nephews are at his house when they hear on the radio that a very dangerous gorilla is roaming free. Donald fools his nephews into believing the gorilla is on the house and after they figure out his trick, they do the same to him. Then, the real gorilla shows up and the amusing problems really start. Now, finally, finally, FINALLY. House of Mouse in their musical number Its Our House Now. This very catchy song describes the Disney villains kicking their more benign counterparts out. For what it is worth, every single fan of Disney villains will be pleased with this sequence because even if your favorite villain doesnt receive a mention in the song, almost all are seen at least once, even less popular ones like Madam Mim. One exception worth noting is Madame Medusa, but I guess thats not a great surprise. Following this, we stay at what is now the House of Villains. How big was my surprise when I saw that Jafar is the one leading them all From here on, the Disney villains are interrupted in between each segment by Mickey and friends trying to get the House of Mouse back. In the meantime, were presented with Donalds Halloween Scare, another of the great Mouse Works shorts included. What makes it great isnt just the animation and music, but because of the fun poked at slasher horror movies with a character that resembles the killer from I Know What You Did Last Summer and borrows from Jason of the Friday the 1. The final short presented again of the Mouse Works variety is Hansel and Gretel with Mickey and Minnie. We get to see them in this famous story in another Fantasia like segment. The program concludes with a funny and very brief confrontation between Jafar and Sorcerer Mickey to restore order at the House of Mouse. VIDEO and AUDIOThe entire movie is presented in 1. You might think that this the proper aspect ratio for a direct to video creation, but it was pointed out to me that the new shorts appear to have been made in widescreen. Right before they fill the screen, we are provided with a glimpse which suggests that they are somewhat cropped to fill standard television dimensions. The transfer itself is fine, as youd expect. Colors are vibrant and not at all washed out. The old shorts have been properly restored as well, looking nearly as pristine as the new ones. As far as audio goes, there is just an English audio track with captions in English for the hearing impaired. The back of the DVD establishes that it comes in Dolby Digital 5. You can figure which the new shorts and the song Its Our House Now. The House of Mouse segments are presented in stereo and the vintage shorts in mono. But everything sounds great and clear. BONUS FEATURESTheres not much to find here. Reel of Misfortune is a game where a wheel spins like Wheel of Fortune and you get asked questions regarding the villain it stops on. Pretty useless is Fright Delight, which presents a single compilation of Disney movie clips with audio in 5. House Mix allows you listen to it with music, while 5. Villains Mix is just the sound effects. Other than that, you get the standard and now dated Sneak Peeks section, with trailers for Treasure Planet, Beauty and the Beast Platinum Edition, Winnie the Pooh A Very Merry Pooh Year, Lilo Stitch, 1. Dalmatians II Patchs London Adventure, Beauty and the Beast The Enchanted Christmas Special Edition, The Country Bears, Inspector Gadget 2, and Teamo Supremo. As Easter Eggs, there are three posters of Disney villains you can select from the Main Menu Hades, The Queen, and Ursula. Clicking on any one leads to a clip of animation of the featured villain. CLOSING THOUGHTSA compilation of shorts is not to everyones DVD tastes, much less one which is advertised as spotlighting Disneys villains when they hold a fairly small role. Given the fact that most of these shorts are recent, stemming from the Mickey Mouse Works series, and are not available elsewhere on DVD, this is a viable collection for Walt Disney Treasures enthusiasts as well as other animation fans. Furthermore, it should tempt those who admire the Disney villains to see the entire gang interact with each other plus Mickey and friends and perform the song Its Our House Now. In reality, Disney could have done so much more with this premise, like showcasing the villains taking over the house from the start or filling the disc with lots of content related to the Disney villains. Sadly, this isnt the case, which is a shame in light of how popular the Disney villains are with fans.
