McDonald's Boo Buckets return for Halloween featuring Disney Villains

McDonald's Halloween Boo Buckets are coming back with a Disney Villains theme.

This year, there will be five colorful Boo Buckets to collect, depicting Jafar from "Aladdin," Ursula from "The Little Mermaid," Scar from "The Lion King," Cruella de Vil from "101 Dalmatians" and Maleficent from both "Sleeping Beauty" and "Maleficent."

Each Boo Bucket, available in lieu of kids' Happy Meal boxes, will also include a villain-inspired lid and stickers, according to McDonald's.

"This spooky szn, we're entering our villain era," the company said in its announcement of the theme, describing this year's Boo Buckets as "inspired by Disney’s most notorious scene-stealers."

The villain-themed Boo Buckets will be available for a limited time at participating McDonald's restaurants starting on Tuesday, Oct. 20.

McDonald's Boo Buckets tradition dates back 40 years. The Golden Arches introduced the first collectible pails back in 1986.
