Being a two-dimensional animated Disney film which involves nearly all of the Disney heroes and villains before it, you'd expect 'Mickey's House of Villains' to boast a lot of potential. In truth, there is potential, but Disney really ruined their chance to produce a stunning nostalgia-fest. 'Mickey's House Of Villains' is bitterly disappointing.
It's All Hallow's Eve and every Disney protagonist and antagonist has been invited to Mickey's House Of Mouse to watch a string of short films. In all honesty, these short films are rather poor and a waste of the writers' and excited audience's times. As the short films go on, it all gets rather repetitive, and when Jafar and the other villains decide to overthrow Mickey Mouse, nothing even close to exciting happens. By the end, there's a very rushed and tedious battle betwen Jafar and Mickey, but that's it.
The most commendable aspect of 'Mickey's House Of Villains' is the impressive attention to detail. I often find that detail is an aspect a lot of writers and animators need to focus on, but on top of that, the music artists are concentrating on it, too. You'll instantly notice how suitable the soundtrack is. Every small action in the film is accompanied by a scarily appropriate and mightily impressive burst of music, and this audio consistently fits the theme of the film.
As a show of Disney's attention to detail, 'Mickey's House Of Villains' is a significant performance, but the scenes get too repetitive for anybody's liking and the plot could be considered a missed opportunity. If 'Mickey's House Of Villains' were a short television series, or had it been more dedicated to the clashes between good and evil, I would have praised it more highly, but for what it essentially is, 'Mickey's House Of Villains' is quite poor. Perhaps worth a rent, but there's nothing essential in here.
Two Out Of Five.
