And so it begins…. With the copyright protection of Mickey Mouse expiring on 1st January 2024. The early 1928 version of Mickey Mouse that featured in the Disney cartoons Plane Crazy (1928) and Steamboat Willie (1928) are now part of the public domain and non-Disney creators can use them in their own for-profit works.
Here is the poster for ‘MICKEY’S MOUSETRAP’, a new Mickey Mouse horror film being produced by ‘Into Frame Productions’ and due for release in March 2024.
Directed by Jamie Bailey from a screenplay written by Simon Phillips. It is a horror reimagining of Walt Disney’s 1928 animated short film Steamboat Willie.
The film stars Nick Biskupek, James Laurin, Mireille Gagné, Damir Kovic, Callum Sywyk, Allegra Nocita, Jesse Nasmith, Mackenzie Mills, Madeline Kelman, and Ben Harris, with Simon Phillips as the titular character.
The slasher horror film follows a group of friends trapped inside an amusement arcade after it closes as they are terrorized by a masked killer in a Mickey Mouse costume.
