Few Christmas movie franchises have had quite as interesting a journey as Home Alone.
The original film, Home Alone (1990), introduced audiences to Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), a young child accidentally left behind when his family heads to Paris for Christmas. Its enormous success led to Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), which reunited Culkin with the franchise for another festive battle against the Sticky Bandits (formerly Wet Bandits).

Things took a rather different turn after that, with each subsequent film introducing a new hero — apart from Home Alone 4 (2002), which brought Kevin McCallister back, this time played by Mike Weinberg rather than Macaulay Culkin.
Most recently, Disney released Home Sweet Home Alone (2021), a streaming-exclusive installment starring Archie Yates.
Now, the franchise’s familiar Christmas setup is getting another unexpected twist.
Home Alone Gets New Adventure With a Surprising Hero
Disney has released the first trailer for Mickey’s Home Alone, a new animated holiday special that acts as a remake of the 1990 classic but with Mickey Mouse and Pluto in the middle of a festive home invasion.
In the special, Mickey is looking forward to spending Christmas at home until Minnie surprises everyone with tickets to a world-famous Ice Palace. But the morning rush leaves Mickey and Pluto behind, who must then defend their home from two unwelcome visitors — a raccoon and a weasel determined to get their hands on Christmas dinner — while Minnie and the others attempt to make their way back.
