  • Baseado em: Steamboat Willie

The Mouse Trap is a 2024 Canadian comedy slasher film directed, shot and edited by Jamie Bailey and written by Simon Phillips. It is a horror reimagining of Walt Disney's 1928 animated short film Steamboat Willie, the first appearance of Mickey Mouse. The film stars Phillips as a hypnotized manager masked as Mickey, who traps and terrorizes a group of friends inside an amusement arcade.

Production

On January 1, 2024, the first animated works starring Mickey Mouse, notably Steamboat Willie, entered the public domain in the US and Canada. The day the copyright lapsed, the film—then titled Mickey's Mouse Trap—was revealed to the public as its first trailer was released online along with several other works based on the short, such as Infestation: Origins, a Mickey-themed independent horror game.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, director Jamie Bailey stated: "We just wanted to have fun with it all. I mean it's Steamboat Willie‘s Mickey Mouse murdering people. It's ridiculous. We ran with it and had fun doing it and I think it shows." Bailey also expressed surprise that there were not more similar projects and that they were among the first to create such a film, as the crew "thought we'd be lost in the shuffle, to be completely honest"…

Principal photography took place in Funhaven, an amusement arcade in Ottawa, Canada, over the course of 8 days in Summer 2023.
