Mickey's House of Villains

Review: Personally, I havn't seen this movie yet, but plan to in the future. The reason why I'm writing this review is because it looks strangely familiar of the greatest game this century: Kingdom Hearts. For those who have played it, you'll understand why this "battle" seems way too unlikely without Sora. I give this a 5 out of 5 because I'm just dying to see how they pull themselves out of this one.

Review: Read this review before purchasing this product. When I saw the trailer for it I was very excited. The trailer had all the villains but they were shots from the original movies. I personily love the villains, lets face it there the best! I thought if it was as good as the original movies I would love it, but sad to say it does not compare to any classic disney movie. Most of the time it was just old and new cartoons that were pretty boring. My favorite villain Maleficent had only one, I repeat ONE line in the whole movie! You may like this film, or you may not. I would advise that you rent it before atcually buy it.

Review: The box description would have you believe that the plot of this "movie" is a tour de force where Mickey and the gang square off against a horde of classic Disney villains. Don't be fooled. This is merely a shorts collection with a weak framing sequence. There are three classic Disney shorts, but they aren't enough to save the show, and they will surely be available on some of the Walt Disney Treasures collections if they aren't already. The rest of the shorts are from Walt Disney Television Animation and since I recognzed one of them I would suspect that none of them were created specifically for the movie.
As for the villains, their appearance is little more than an overblown cameo. They do indeed take over the House of Mouse as promised, but they wait until around the last twenty minutes of the movie to actually do anything and it seems their intent was just to keep on showing shorts that star Mickey and the gang. Not quite what you'd expect from a gang of some of the most evil figures in cartoons.
So if you're buying this because you've been a fan of Disney villains all of your life, you're going to be disappointed. If you're buying it to distract the toddlers for seventy minutes, I'm sure it will do the trick. I just used to expect more from any animation that bore the name of Disney.

Review: This is probably more for kids...my daughter (5) loves it. It's a nice assortment of different cartoons with a Halloween theme. It's not very scary or suspenseful, though, just fun.

Review: Villain's? Beware! It's a good thing for the adult crowd that Disney has guaranteed your satisfaction or your money back. I'm very disappointed in the program. I expected to see more villainous action instead of the sleepy new and old restored footage put together in this remarkably boring DVD and Video.

Review: Well, the review title pretty much sums up my feelings on this DVD. While a couple of the cartoons were pretty funny, the packaging makes this seem like it'll be a movie about the villains taking over the House of Mouse, and as other reviews have mentioned, such is only an afterthought and a cool song. It's not just the packaging either--the overall marketing and the trailers shown on other Disney DVDs make the same claims as the info on the box. Let the buyer beware!

Having said that, if you're familiar with the "House of Mouse" TV series, this should come as no surprise. It's basically an extended episode of the series--in that series, there are several cartoons with a loose plot hanging them together, exactly what you get in this DVD. Still, it would've been a bit more honest of Disney to market it as what it is rather than upping the anty. Rent before you buy, that's my recommendation.

Summary: Quite a Jip
Review: What has been promoted as an all out battle between the Disney good and evil is merely a cable Halloween special with a hefty price tag. Overly laden with the old "classic" halloween cartoons that are replayed every october and new (mildly to little entertaining) strips written just for the show there is very little plot. It is true that in the beginning Mickey is in control and then Jafar kicks him out, and later they try to "out Magic" eachother in a final "battle." However the entire plot of the movie, which comes in tiny spurts in between clips, can't last any longer than 5 minutes in entirety, effiectively making it simply another cartoon. This is not a movie to waste your money on. You can see almost the same thing by flipping to the Disney channel in late October, although the cable version may be slightly more interesting.

Summary: Not at all what I expected
Review: When I got this, I expected to see one big story with interesting plot twists. Instead, it's just a bunch of Disney shorts mixed together. It doesn't focus on the whole "House of Villains" thing at all, in fact, for half of the film I'm wondering "when the heck is this thing even going to really start?". It ends with one of the dumbest battles ever. Basically, Mickey takes a lamp and [draws] Jafar into it, and all of the other villains scream and run. Hello? I'm pretty sure that all of them combined are much more dangerous than Mickey, even without Jafar. It barely even focuses on the villains at all, giving them maybe 5% of the entire screen time.
