Disney's Villains' Revenge (Console Reboot)

Disney's Villains' Revenge is a video game developed and published by Disney Interactive for console. It is based on the 1999 Disney Interactive CD-ROM game of the same name, but with major changes such as adding various other villains from Disney animated films (such as Hades, Maleficent, Jafar, Ursula, Scar, Dr. Facilier, Mother Gothel, Hans, Chernabog, etc.), instead of just four. The gameplay features the player helping Jiminy Cricket save the happy endings of the various Disney animated films from the vengeful Disney Villains led by Hades and Maleficent.

Introduction
The game's intro begins in the Underworld, where Hades, the lord of the dead from Hercules becomes infuriated about the ending and his defeat in Hercules and rants a lot about it. Then Pain and Panic arrived and tells him that there's a soul not cooperating with the other souls in the River Styx. The soul in question is revealed to be none other than Maleficent, the mistress of all evil from Sleeping Beauty and her pet crow Diablo and demands to be sent back. Hades is at first unconcerned, but they find a common ground: Maleficent too is infuriated of her own defeat and is seeking revenge. Then Hades see's and reveals a book that features many stories with happy endings with Jiminy Cricket being the guardian. Maleficent reveals to Hades that she can help him and other Disney Villains seek vengeance on the endings of their stories by summoning the spirits of the many Disney Villains alter the stories to their advantage, without the presence of happy endings and the only way to do it is to rip the page of the happy endings of each story and left the stories at their climax, with the heroes and heroines in peril and the villains in control. Hades agrees and resurrects Maleficent. Then Hades decides to send Pain and Panic to trick Jiminy Cricket, take the book, and rip the pages of the happy endings for the villains to steal and change the ending. As the duo leave, Hades and Maleficent, along with the many Disney villains, prepare for their revenge, before the screen changes and the game's logo appeared.

The game begins in the bedroom of the player, presumably a child. Jiminy Cricket is the guardian of a book in the player's room which features many stories with happy endings. Then, to his surprise, a boy and a girl by the names of Billy and Penny comes in to the bedroom, claiming to be friends with the player and asks Jiminy and the player to play a game of ripping the pages of the book's happy endings and to put them back where they belong once you guess them. Jiminy, as he was bored due to him reading so many of them, agrees to do so and so he does this when suddenly, to his horror, Billy and Penny reveal themselves as Pain and Panic in their shape-shifting disguise and steals the torn happy endings while the book itself is possessed by the spirits of the many Disney Villains, namely the Witch (Wicked Queen Grimhilde) from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, Captain Hook from Peter Pan, Cruella De Ville from 101 Dalmations, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, Jafar from Aladdin, Scar from The Lion King, Judge Claude Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove, Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog, Mother Gothel from Tangled, Hans from Frozen, Mayor Belwether from Zootopia, Tamatoa from Moana, and of course Hades and Maleficent themselves who alter the stories to their advantage, without the presence of happy endings, while Pain and Panic returns to the Underworld with Hades and Maleficent. After this, the Blue Fairy appears and explains that because stories live on in the hearts of readers, by removing the happy endings left the stories at their climax, with the heroes in peril and the villains in control. Jiminy and the player venture into the worlds of the stories to correct the happy endings while the Blue Fairy recruits characters from each of the stories as their guide.
