It was confirmed in November 2012 that Disney had began development on a live-action/animation hybrid film where humans and Disney characters co-exist in peace. Producers Gary Marsh and Gary Krisel wrote a script that originally centered on Vanellope von Schweetz and Woody as rivals. However, in November 2014, the script turned out disastrous, and Marsh and Krisel better-reflected the plot Disney desired. Disneytoon Studios was originally set to do animation, but after poor results, Disney decided to hire Reel FX to complete the computer animation in the final cut.

The first film produced by Walt Disney Wonder Studios, the film premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on January 5, 2017, and was released theatrically in the United States on January 9 by Walt Disney Pictures to critical and commercial success, grossing $984 million against its $179 million budget and receiving praise for its humor, characters, subject matter, heartfelt story, visuals, direction, Hans Zimmer's musical score, and the performances (particularly those of Silverman and Fanning). The film was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Original Song. In December 2020, the film was added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

The film's success started a franchise consisting of seven sequels: Disney In The House: 4th Of July, Disney In The House: Christmas, Disney In The House: Wild Wild West, Disney In The House: Off To Adventure Camp, Disney In The House: Time Travel, Disney In The House: Return To Adventure Camp, and Disney In The House: World Animals on July 4, 2017, December 26, 2017, December 25, 2018, March 3, 2019, June 13, 2019, September 23, 2019, and December 23, 2019.

Plot

Humans and Disney characters co-exist in harmony in Disneyville, the most magical star in the sky. Mayor Lawrence Pierce and Mr. Ziploc take Vanellope von Schweetz and her pet iguana Iggy on a history tour and introduce them to Judy Hopps, Hank, Woody, Agent P, and the Little Green Men. When they build shelter for Woody, Vanellope tells them her sad backstory of when poachers killed her friend Banana; Vanellope has been wanting to make her own family ever since. A knight named Murray hitches them on a ride to the Hader's Kingdom.

King Marcus, the ruler of the Hader's Kingdom, greets the gang. After introducing them to his son, Conrad, he tells them about the time a dragon killed his wife. When they spy on Conrad's sister Sally's singing about longing to marry her brother, Vanellope comforts her by saying Conrad would never abandon her. They pick a wedding dress that is Sally's size, and are about to help her put in on, but Woody stops the music and criticizes Vanellope for her lack of discipline before confessing that the dragon killed his neighbor. Woody finally agrees to help Sally marry Conrad.

After the successful date at the kingdom's pizza place, the group helps a spy named Agent Gadget retrieve three gems out of the hands of a murderous outlaw couple named Ginny and Alan. By the time they arrive at Ginny and Alan's lair, the bodyguard, Mr. Z, kidnaps Sally. At the moment Vanellope and Conrad save her, the dragon chases them, but they narrowly escape when the dragon gets caught on a chandelier. Conrad takes Sally for a rowboat ride across a lagoon, and the two kiss. While looking for a train back to the Hader's Kingdom, Vanellope comes across a ghost of Banana that reveals that his plan was to lure her to the poachers to be arrested, as revenge for abandoning him when the poachers killed him. After a few pleas from Marka, Vanellope's next-door neighbor, Vanellope sadly turns herself in to the poachers.

Shortly after being put in jail, a skeleton named Skull Housetall informs Vanellope that the dragon is headed for the Hader's Kingdom. Realizing Ghost Banana intended to destroy Disneyville all along, Vanellope escapes jail, with help from Judy. Vanellope, Judy, Hank, Woody, Sally, Conrad, Gadget, Mr. Ziploc, Lawrence, Iggy, Agent P, and the Little Green Men return to the Hader's Kingdom to tell Marcus the situation. The dragon arrives at that moment, under Ghost Banana's commands. Despite failing to strike the dragon, she uses Aladdin's magic lamp to trap Ghost Banana forever. Using Sally as bait, Vanellope and Gadget lure the dragon to his death. The bridge crumbles, and Vanellope grabs the rope Sally and Gadget are holding. Gadget resigns himself to his fate, lets go of the rope to sacrifice himself, and dies, giving Vanellope the advantage to save Sally.

Three days after Conrad and Sally finally marry, the bridge is rebuilt, and Vanellope and the gang head home. Judy, Hank, Mr. Ziploc, and Lawrence move in with Iggy, and Marka reconciles with Vanellope. The film ends with everyone in Disneyville singing a reprise of "I Wish", and with Vanellope shouting with excitement as the iris closes on her.
