Mouse of Horrors is a 2025 British slasher horror film directed by Brendan Petrizzo. It is a reimagining of Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks's 1928 animated short film Steamboat Willie.[1][2]
Though the Walt Disney Company retains exclusive rights to its own Mickey Mouse universe, the Steamboat Willie version of the iconic character entered the public domain on January 1, 2024.[3] It is, together with The Mouse Trap,[4] Screamboat,[5] I Heart Willie[6] and Mouseboat Massacre,[7] one of many Mickey Mouse–themed horror films released after the character entered the public domain.[8][9] The film was produced by ITN Studios that also produced the Twisted Childhood Universe films, though it does not take place in the same cinematic universe same as Popeye's Revenge and Mouseboat Massacre.
Mouse of Horrors was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming in the United States on January 25, 2025.[10]
