Disney In The House received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the humor, the cinematography, the screenplay, the vocal performances of Silverman and Goodwin, and Mark Mothersbaugh's musical score. The film grossed $1.012 billion on a $265 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing Owen Laramore film until Marvel Super Heroes surpassed it.

The film's critical and commercial success has since expanded the film into a major franchise, with the film itself being followed by five sequels and two spin-offs.

Plot
Vanellope von Schweetz and Judy Hopps watch Disney In The House: Introduction in their theater room. Vanellope's protest over this eventually prompts them to narrate one of their own.

In the film, Vanellope and Judy watch the star attraction of the Picker's Circus, the Great Master as he introduces Teddy, but her claustrophobia gets the best of her, and she fails. Judy is hired to perform the next magic trick. Vanellope, trying to find Teddy, inadvertently hijacks the perfomance and falls into the rehearsal room. Upon learning that Teddy wants to see her parents, Davidson and Dianne, Vanellope agrees to help her. The Great Master learns about this, and a selfish trickster and security guard named Phil Franco enters, prompting Judy to search for Vanellope and Teddy.

En route to Teddy Bear Mountain, Vanellope's arch-nemesis Lots'o Huggin' Bear tries to kidnap Teddy, but Judy intervenes. At Teddy Bear Mountain, Teddy tries to call her parents, but accidentally wakes up a grizzly bear. They escape, but after a heated argument, Judy decides to leave Vanellope on her own. Suddenly, Teddy is kidnapped by crows and brought to King Eagle and Buddy Crow. Vanellope and Judy rescue her just as the bird temple falls apart.

Judy successfully convinces Vanellope that Teddy belonged in the Picker's Circus. The next morning, Vanellope reluctantly explains to Teddy that the Picker's Circus is best for the bear. Upset by this, Teddy firms her resolve and accuses Vanellope of breaking her promise before running off, causing Judy to regret everything she's done. Vanellope gives up, but Judy comforts her best friend. Vanellope and Judy return Teddy to Davidson and Dianna, but Phil arrests them.

Vanellope and Judy feel like hope is lost until King Eagle, Buddy Crow, Hank, Beth, Lawrence, Iggy, and Mr. Ziploc come to their rescue. Buddy Crow takes Phil's key without him noticing, freeing Judy and Vanellope. Davidson, Dianna, Teddy, Judy, and Vanellope jump off the plane to get to the Picker's Circus. Vanellope and Judy fly on King Eagle, but Phil catches Judy by her feet, and then loses his grip and falls into a pond. Judy, Vanellope, Teddy, and King Eagle make it to the Picker's Circus, but police officers have cut them off. Judy and King Eagle make the police chase them, giving Vanellope and Teddy time to get to the Picker's Circus.

Vanellope returns Teddy, Davidson, and Dianne to the Great Master, but Phil arrives and declares that he will kidnap thousands of teddy bears and silence anyone who gets in his way. Phil discovers that Vanellope had tricked him into revealing his deception. The plan works, and the police officers arrest Phil and leave the Picker's Circus. King Eagle, Buddy Crow, Hank, Beth, Lawrence, Iggy, Mr. Ziploc, the Great Master, Mr. Marley, Jennifer, and Tiffany were all involved in Vanellope's plan. Lotso steals the scene, but Teddy throws him into the rehearsal room. Teddy and Vanellope hug goodbye.

Back in the Disney Neighborhood, Vanellope triumphantly declares that as long as Teddy lives with her parents in the Picker's Circus, it doesn't matter where she lives. Vanellope, Judy, and their friends re-watch the film in the same theater room in which Vanellope tells Judy that she still do %100 well about things, and the film ends.

In a post-credits scene, Iggy inexplicably ends up in a jungle and buries a watermelon, accidentally causing the adventure that happens in the sequel.
