Recap / House Of Mouse Episode 2 Big Bad Wolf Daddy

Go To

Against Mickey's wishes, Donald has invited the Big Bad Wolf Daddy to headline the show that night at the House of Mouse. However, remembering the last time that Big Bad Wolf Daddy was at the club, where he ended up blowing the building down when he huffed and puffed, Mickey needs to find someway to prevent a repeat of that. Under Ludwig Von Drake's suggestion, they get rid of every door around the place, since seeing a door would set off the Big Bad Wolf Daddy's Berserk Button. As a result, the show goes well, but at the end, when the Three Little Pigs who served as Big Bad Wolf Daddy's backup get back in their cello case, they sever the rope holding up all the doors out of sight of Big Bad Wolf Daddy, causing them to land on top of Donald. Needless to say, what happens next is inevitable, and the House of Mouse is blown down again. As a result, Mickey assigns Donald the duty of cleaning up the debris, reminding Donald it was his idea to invite the Big Bad Wolf Daddy in the first place, much to Donald's own chagrin and annoyance.


This episode has the following tropes:

  • Berserk Button: If Big Bad Wolf Daddy sees a door, he's prone to immediately do his huffing and puffing to blow the house down out of instinct.
  • Ironic Echo: After Big Bad Wolf Daddy's performance proves to be a success, Donald reminds Mickey that Big Bad Wolf Daddy was his guest. Then when Big Bad Wolf Daddy blows the blows the House of Mouse down, Mickey hands Donald a broom and makes him clean up the debris, saying that Big Bad Wolf Daddy was his guest.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Donald ends up being assigned the duty to clean up the debris from Big Bad Wolf Daddy blowing down the House of Mouse after Mickey reminds him it was his decision to invite Big Bad Wolf Daddy to perform in the first place.
  • Parachute Petticoat: During Big Bad Wolf Daddy's second solo on his trumpet, Alice suffers her dress taking on this again, but causing her to be blown out of the House of Mouse in the process. A well-timed Freeze-Frame Bonus can catch her Oh, Crap! / Oh, No... Not Again! look as she's blown away.
  • Shout-Out: As with any House of Mouse episode, this one has several to various Disney movies during the show at the club.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: After Big Bad Wolf Daddy blows down the House of Mouse, we don't know what became of all the Disney characters who were still in the club at the time or they had already left and gone home before Big Bad Wolf Daddy did his thing. However, since this is Disney after all, they're all seen to be fine next episode, maintaining Status Quo Is God.
