Plot
It is the day before Easter, and the House of Mouse is scheduled to have a new tv screen unveiling and egg hunt at the next day's morning show. Pete, the owner of the House of Mouse building owns a local factory is making easter eggs in his factory. His grandma used to attend the House of Mouse when she was little. Mickey and his friends who work there agree to pay Pete a visit and invite him to the Easter show. Goofy and Donald, are working in Pete's factory to help him with something he's planning for Easter tomorrow. Goofy and Donald disagree over who should approach Pete and ask for a day off for Easter so they can do their jobs at the House of Mouse. When the duo ask, Pete lectures them about the history of how his grandmother started making Easter eggs. Pete recalls that before his grandma died, she told him to tell everyone "Easter means no death". Pete misunderstands this, thinking that as long as he makes Easter eggs he will keep his grandma alive forever. When Mickey, Minnie, Daisy and Pluto arrive, Pete explains that what he is planning for Easter tomorrow is to tear down the House of Mouse and build an Easterworld theme park in its place. When the others protest, Pete gets angry and ejects them all from the factory. The rest of the other Disney and Pixar characters [who are in this one too] soon learn about the news and are worried about the demolition of the church, but cannot stop Pete since he owns the House of Mouse building and property on which the house is located.

That night, while Pete is asleep, he sees a vision of his grandma telling him he has missed the point of Easter, and at the stroke of midnight, he will receive a second visitor to help him understand. Meanwhile, Goofy and Donald are trying to break into the factory to steal the Easterworld plans despite Donald saying that they are borrowing them Pete then wakes up from his vision and then intends to stay awake for the visitor. He falls asleep waiting for the visitor, and at the stroke of midnight, a clockwork egg suddenly opens and an angel named Hope emerges. She wakes Pete and starts showing him Easter Past, beginning with a show at the House of Mouse. Where his grandma who is young are in attendance. Hope shows Pete Easter from a year ago, when Pete first started making plastic Easter eggs. He talks to Gopher and gets him to agree to invent plastic chickens that can make plastic eggs. Gopheris not paid, but Pete does give him an early free pass to Easterworld much to Hope's dismay.

Hope and Pete return to Easter Present and visit the Mickey's's house, where he, Minnie and Daisy are discussing about the House of Mouse. It is revealed that Grandma Pete paid for all of the House of Mouse's Mickey ear shaped chairs, and that just before she died she commissioned the new tv screen that they were going to unveil on Easter morning. Pete remains adamant that remaining loyal to his grandma's business and Easterworld is the only way to maintain her memory. Hope and Pete then learn that Mickey's nephew Ferdie Mouse who is visiting is sick and will die within a year if nothing changes. Pete is shocked and does not understand why Feridie's Aunt and Uncle are so calm with such news. Hope then takes Pete back into the church and teaches him the story of Jesus' life, his Crucifixion, and eventually his Resurrection. With a deeper understanding of Easter's eternal significance, Pete finally accepts his grandmother's passing.

Hope then welcomes Pete to 'Easter Future'. The House of Mouse is about to be demolished, the Lilo's hula school is gone because it was being sponsored by the House of Mouse, And Ferdie has died, and without the Hope of Easter, the town's once-brave policeman has lost the courage to stop criminals. Hope disappears back into the egg and Pete pleads for her to come back because they need her. He rushes back to the House of Mouse to try to stop the demolition and wakes up. He finds out that it is still Easter Present and that he still has a chance to prevent Easter Future from occurring. Pete rushes as quickly as he can to the church, and arrives just in time to stop the demolition crew.

Goofy suddenly rushes in and shouts that the factory is about to explode and that Donald is trapped inside. Pete rushes back into the factory to save Donald, and they escape by being catapulted out of one of the factory's windows by one of the machines just as the factory explodes. It starts raining Easter eggs across the town and Pete promises to help fix up the orphanage and get young Edmond get the medicine he needs with the money he has left.
