“Imagine if Bob Dylan went into the studio with the Strokes. And then they all got drunk on cheap beer. The results would sound fairly similar to this.”

This movie was a staple of my childhood which is weird since I wasn't a big fan of the House of Mouse show. But I really enjoy watching this on my VHS plenty of times even when it wasn't October. It was just amazing to see all these classic Disney villains join together to take over the House of Mouse all while singing a badass Villain Song. Unfortunately, this film is rather light on plot as that villain takeover takes about an hour to begin and then, gets resolved rather quickly. Jafar and the Villains don't even do anything when reclaiming the House of Mouse but watch cartoons. You know THE THING THAT THEY WERE DOING PREVIOUSLY. But honestly, the plot wasn't what really got me into this special. It was the cartoons. This VHS was basically a compilation of Disney's horror-themed shorts. Some of them were shorts from Mickey Mouse Works as per usual for House of Mouse episodes while others were old-fashioned classic Disney animations going all the way back to the 1930s when Walt Disney was voicing Mickey Mouse. I love watching these animations to this day. The classic shorts are full of fluid animation that adds to its humor. Even the modern counterparts manage to provide some humorous jokes, impressive animation (for a TV-cartoon budget), and even some surprisingly dark and messed-up moments. So while the actual plot of this special was disappointing, the cartoons being showcased are more-than-worth the price of admission to the House of Mouse.

I've had an interesting history with this film. I planned about 2 years ago to watch this film for my aborted Netflix Romancethon project. Then, I decided to quit watching it about 30 minutes into the film. I really hated the film at the point and did not feel like continuing it... until today. Now, I appreciate the film a bit more than I saw a part of it for the first time. It still has it's problems. Absolutely. But I did enjoy it for various reasons. The music is incredibly catchy and while John Travolta isn't the greatest of singers, I got used to his voice to enjoy the music. With some classic songs like "Grease", "Summer Nights", and "You're The One That I Want", how could you not make it an enjoyable musical. Also, there were certainly some great musical sequences that featured awesome choreography and some incredible cinematic shots. That being said the story is nothing to write home about. I didn't found any of the characters that memorable or interesting and I didn't really care about the main relationship between Danny and Sandy. Despite my love for "You're The One That I Want", I really didn't like Sandy's transformation as I didn't like the sudden drastic change without any proper foreshadowing to it. Overall, this was a very mixed experience but I'm glad I got the chance to see it at least once. The music, the dancing, and some of the directing is really awesome but everything else is not as interesting.
