Filmmakers are not wasting any time with putting a dark spin on Mickey Mouse following the character entering the public domain.As of Jan. 1, 2024, Mickey’s very first cartoon, Steamboat Willie, became part of the public domain. While modern versions of Mickey Mouse are still protected by copyright, the classic black-and-white version seen in the Steamboat Willie cartoon is now available to be used by filmmakers outside of the Disney umbrella. On the very day that the copyright lifted for Steamboat Willie, it was announced that the character will be spoofed in an upcoming horror movie titled Mickey’s Mouse Trap. The first trailer and poster have also been released for the film, which can be viewed below.The killer in the film looks very recognizable, as the mouse is undoubtedly inspired by the black-and-white Mickey. It’s pretty clear from the imagery on the poster alone that the movie will also be far unlike Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and it’s certainly not a film that Disney would be happy to see get made. However, it was probably expected at the House of Mouse that these kinds of movies would be made, given how much money Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey had made.
