In this new Disney Halloween special, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy are trick-or-treating when Donald spies the spookiest mansion he’s ever seen and assumes it has the best treats. After he convinces his friends to risk a visit, the owner, Witch Hazel, casts a spell that turns them into their costumes. The special features new original music from Emmy Award-nominated songwriter Beau Black (“The Lion Guard”).
But the Halloween fun doesn’t stop with “Mickey and Friends Trick or Treats,” Disney has also unveiled a full lineup of special Halloween episodes of “Superkitties,” “Mickey Mouse Funhouse, and “Pupstruction,” which will premiere three nights in a row later this month.
