If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I liked 'The House of Mouse' cartoons when I was a kid, so this longer (not that long though) film was of interest to me.As other reviewers have said, the plot involving the villains only makes up half of the rather thin running time, with the rest being filled by old Disney shorts to make up the rest. Don't get me wrong, these are entertaining, but it's not what this film was billed as being.I liked the fact that though they didn't exactly have much to do, Disney did at least make an effort to get the original voice actors back to play the villains. You would automatically know if James Woods wasn't doing the voice of Hades, and these little bits of attention to detail elevate an otherwise average film.

Wow, where do I begin with this mess of a "movie" First off let me start out by saying i never really watched House of Mouse that often, maybe once a month if that, however I do understand the premise. Mickey runs a club where they play old and new Disney cartoons staring Mickey Donald and Goofy. I never really liked it because they use really cheep versions of their usually beautifully rendered and animated characters. This "movie" however was just a lousy hyped up excuse to get people to tune in. It starts off Jafar actually saying that everyone has to wait till "midnight" for his trick to take place, so that's a good 40 minuets into the movie. We sit through some classic Mickey Mouse cartoons and a new one I never saw before. Note that this is the only reason I gave the movie 3 stars instead of none at all. When Jafar finally decides to kick mickey out, we are treated to an almost catchy song, it's not a bad song, its just not a good one ether. The villains take over and whats the first thing they do? Start playing some new cartoons again. Mickey tries in between cartoons to get his club back and finally succeeds in what may be the dumbest ending I had ever witnessed. Stock footage of Aladdin gives Mickey the Genie's golden lamp, Mickey rubs the lamp while all the villains except for Jafar run away and he gets sucked into the lamp. I challenge you to find a more rushed ending.

All in all, this wasn't that bad. It had a good premise, and a good collection of cartoons. As a die hard Disney fan I had just a couple of complaints. WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERSFirst, the House of Villains segment, kind of the wraparound part is short and ends rather abruptly. Its as if the animators got tired of drawing and looked for a quick way to end this. They included a lot of cartoons in between, some new and some classic. Why didn't they just release A Disney Halloween (AKA Halloween Treat) on DVD. My second complaint is the types of villains that got the most attention. Very few classic ones did. Malificent from Sleeping Beauty had only one line while the Wicked Queen from Snow White had only one. Not a bad movie, but I expected more. Word of advice: Rent it first before buying it!

2001's Snowed in at the House of Mouse was better put together. It made more sense. To many short cartoons in the House of Villains, to little club scenes. Jafar says that he's taking over at the start of the film, good opening by the way. Then the shorts, couple more snipplets of the House but nothing gets the story moving. Then at the end Jafar and the villains take over, kick the Fav Five and Co out of the club only to be taken back after another cartoon or two.The collections of shorts in a HoM shell have the potential to be good if Disney decides to cut down with the cartoons and put more story in the House itself. Next year... Valentines Day, 2004... Eastern. There enough potential themes for future movies.
