Mickey's House of Villains

Mickey's House of Villains.jpg
A second direct-to-video film centering on House of Mouse was released in 2002. Mickey’s House of Villains stars pretty much the same cast from the show as well.

It’s Halloween at the House of Mouse and a lot of villains show up. At midnight, Jafar takes over with the help of Captain Hook, Cruella de Vil, Ursula, Hades and Chernabog. Now Mickey and his staff have to reclaim the House.

The same issues I have with Snowed in at the House of Mouse show up here. This should have been a TV special and not a complete film. Same reasons I always give for this. It’s a cash grab to just show old cartoons for an obscene profit.
It’s not that the cartoons are bad. They’re pretty good, but we didn’t need a home video production of a show that hasn’t had any seasons released on home video, as far as I’m aware of.
The good quality of the shorts keep it from sliding across the Edge of Dissatisfaction, but it really shouldn’t have been released direct to video.
