Disney follows up 2001's
Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse with the more nefarious cartoon characters taking over in
Mickey's House of Villains. A full-frame transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 English audio and captions set up the mutiny at Mickey's. Bonus materials include the "Reel of Misfortune," a mildly amusing trivia game about Disney's famous villains. Answer the questions correctly to cross the bridge and escape "the cavern of questions." Fail and you plummet into the molten lava below. "Fright Delight" is a wholly unimaginative montage of scary Disney animated moments passed off as an f/x presentation. The "House Mix" includes spooky music, while the "Villains' Mix" is the same segment without music. Easter Eggs are also included. Click on the
Snow White poster on the Main Menu to see Evil Queen clips, the
Hercules poster to watch Hades wreak havoc, and
The Little Mermaid poster to check out Ursula. A number of "Sneak Peaks" are also included --
Treasure Planet,
Monsters, Inc., Beauty and the Beast Special Edition, Winnie the Pooh in a Very Merry Pooh Year,
Lilo & Stitch, and the animated 101 Dalmations II: Patch's London Adventure. All in all, the DVD's special features are more a large promo than a good time for kiddies. ~ Terri Clark, All Movie Guide
