It isHalloween night at the House of Mouse and a lot of villains are showing up.Jafar has a trick in store for the usual heroes, but the villains have to wait until midnight for him to unleash it. Meanwhile, Donald enters a costume contest at the house and tries to come up with the best winning costume.
After a series of cartoons, Jafar, along withCaptain Hook,Cruella De Vil,Ursula,Maleficent,Hades,Kaa,the Queen of Hearts, among other villains joining Jafar's plan, take over the house with the musical number "It's Our House Now!". The heroes, princesses, and other characters are trapped in the kitchen while Mickey and several others are thrown out into the street. They witness the House of Mouse's name being changed to the House of Villains.[2]
Mickey, Donald, and Goofy try to take their House back, butChernabog stops them from entering the building, as the villains start showing cartoons with more grimmer and dark nature. Minnie makes her attempt after the second-to-last cartoon but is casually thrown out by Hook. After the last cartoon, Mickey dresses in his sorcerer outfit fromThe Sorcerer's Apprentice and challenges Jafar to a magical duel where the winner decides the House's fate. Just when the sorcerer hat is knocked off,Aladdin evades from the kitchen on themagic carpet and gives Daisy Duck his lamp. Daisy hands it to Mickey, causing most of the villains to flee before Jafar and the rest of the villains are sucked into the lamp. All the other characters are freed and the House of Mouse goes back to normal, and Mickey announces Goofy, dressed as Jafar, as the winner of the costume contest to Donald's frustration as the film ends.
