Why We Rated This on for Ages 5 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Mostly silly trick-or-treat pranks (dumping a bucket of water on unsuspecting characters, dressing in scary disguises for trick-or-treaters). More sinister behavior from villains. "Good" characters always win in the end.

  • Violence & scariness:

    Some characters in peril; two characters die offscreen and become ghosts, but a narrator assures viewers that it's only "temporary" for the story. Several characters perform villainous deeds -- from mischievous to malevolent. A witch casts a spell on Donald Duck, making him dance uncontrollably and bang into doors. A gaggle of ghosts haunts Mickey and friends and occasionally gets slapstick-physical with them. A scheming witch tries to cook Mickey and Minnie in a Hansel-and-Gretel-style cartoon. A robot character unscrews and removes his own eye.

  • Sexy stuff:

    Innocent hand-holding and hugging between Mickey and Minnie. Minnie kisses Mickey on the cheek.

  • Language:

    Tame: A frustrated Donald Duck says "heck."

  • Consumerism:

    Since this combines many Disney movie moments, it may remind you that you haven't seen some favorites in a while.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    A witch seems drunk after she samples some of her own brew.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Mickey's House of Villains

Parents need to know that this is primarily a collection of older Disney shorts, woven together with scenes from an all-new story. Although most of the frights are played for laughs, some scenes may be too scary for younger kids.
