Mickey from Mickey’s Mouse Trap
With Disney’s copyright on the classic cartoon Steamboat Willie expiring, creators wasted no time taking advantage. On the very day the Mickey Mouse short entered the public domain – January 1, 2024 – a trailer for a horror slasher called Mickey’s Mouse Trap dropped, continuing the tradition of the previous year’s Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey. In the film, a killer masked as Mickey Mouse (Simon Phillips) stalks victims at a late-night birthday party in an amusement park. To take your costume from mascot to monster, cut out or black out the eye holes of your rubber Mickey mask.

Since then, Mickey has appeared in over 130 films, most notably Brave Little Tailor and Fantasia. Several television shows center around this iconic character, such as The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and the new Mickey Mouse Cartoons. With video games such as Kingdom Hearts and Epic Mickey comic books and strips, even hidden in the theme park, you’ll find Mickey everywhere. He is easily one of the most recognizable cartoon characters, with a whole march dedicated to his name: “Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!”
