Mickey Mouse horror film unveiled as copyright ends

It’s Mickey, but not as you’ve ever seen him before.

A trailer for a slasher film, featuring a masked killer dressed as Mickey Mouse, was released on 1 January, the day that Disney’s copyright on the earliest versions of the cartoon character expired in the US.

“We wanted the polar opposite of what exists,” the movie’s producer said.

A new Mickey-inspired horror game, showing the rodent covered with blood stains, also dropped on the same day.

Steamboat Willie, a 1928 short film featuring early non-speaking versions of Mickey and Minnie, entered the public domain in the US on New Year’s Day.

It means cartoonists, novelists and filmmakers can now rework and use the earliest versions of Mickey and Minnie.

If they really want to make a good movie with some decisive social commentary it should be about mickey enslaved by a “nameless” corporation (because of course everything else is copyrighted and trademarked still) and escaping. Would make an interesting thriller, there’s a lot that could be done to criticize copyright and the companies that abuse the system and their labor force.

Someone make this please, the idea is free (and so is the character)

Fuck Disney, Fuck Copyright laws and all of that, but there has got to be something more interesting to do with Mickey than a schlocky horror movie with a budget of two paper clips and a pack of gum

This looks awful, like that Pooh movie. This "make a horror story out of expired copyrights" trend is gonna get old, fast.
