At the sunrise of the new year , theSteamboat WillieMickey Mouse has entered the public domain , and the internet is push for a repulsion moving picture based on the character . Already , biz developer Nightmare Forge has announced a survival repugnance co - op plot base onSteamboat WilliecalledInfestation 88 in which actor will take to escape from a nightmarish take on the classic animated cartoon character . With a game already in growth , a movie asterisk a frightful Steamboat Willie does n’t feel far behind , and upon viewing the classic animated unforesightful , a number of viewers noted online the “ animate being eubstance horror ” nature of the product . As a result , Disney buff are pushing for a horror film based onSteamboat Willie . Check out some of the reaction below :
@Cyratu3presented their horror pic script as a laugh , in which the drug user compose , “ i was watching steamboat willie until i realized it was the eviil boaat and it wipe out me . ”
@ItsDanThomasnoted the “ animal organic structure repulsion ” tie - in , pointing out the animal torture and execution that exists already inSteamboat Willie .
User@SuperBentendosuggested a form of address for this could - be horror motion picture , occupy an easy pun path with “ SCREAMboat Willie . ”
Others urge on for circumspection when proceeding with potentialSteamboat Willieadaptations , with user@RobertMcWebbhedsaying , “ can we Please … PLEASE not do any stupid revulsion or overly jumpy related to form of media ? I get that it would be funny , but be original . ”
@JohnMartinPughoffered up another wordplay - free-base horror rubric of a goofy “ Screamboat Killie . ”
@MossAnimationpointed out that Mickey was a murderous “ lilliputian scoundrel ” in hisSteamboat Willieera , claiming that a horror motion-picture show adaptation could work .
@BobsterLordoffered the name “ Steamboat Killy , ” and posted an image captioned “ a friend on discordance made [ an ] double in honor of Steamboat Willie becoming public domain , and the metric shit ton of mascot repulsion slop that is going to be roil out for money . ”
@System9509got specific in their suggestion , take down that the pots and Pan that Mickey clangoring on should be “ bodies of stagnant masses he ’s killed ” in a horror adaptation .
For decennium , loveable Mickey Mouse has been Disney ’s mascot but 2024 could see repugnance filmmakers take vantage of a certain right of first publication expiration .
As @BobsterLord alludes to , aSteamboat Willieadaptation would act into the growing course of mascot horror in film . Mascot revulsion refers to the shift of childhood mascot — such as Winnie - the - Pooh orSteamboat Willie — into pitiless killers . A long - held trope within the video game universe through hit products likeFive Nights at Freddy ’s , mascot horror has become progressively democratic in film , as attest byWinnie - the - Pooh : Blood and Honeyand its forthcoming subsequence .
Steamboat Willie ’s premise could lend itself to a tonally - interesting horror patch , which creators will now have the chance to take on as former Mickey Mouse enters the public orbit .
Although some mascot repulsion , likeBlood and Honey , is more of a stretch , users are right thatSteamboat Williecould lend itself well to a horror adjustment . Though meet for laugh , Steamboat Williehas a misrepresented , phantasmagoric nature to it in its images and scene of beast last . This premise could lend itself to a tonally interesting horror piece , which creators will now have the chance to take on as theearlyMickey Mouseenters the public domain .
