Why would a projection booth have a movie poster advertising the short playing inside it where no customers would see it?

They do realize that both of the things they’re using (the name and the look of the mask) are still under Disney trademark, right?
Like…the public domain is the most tiny substance of the overall Mickey trademark. They don’t even have the Mickey name!
At least call it something like “Steamboat Massacre” or something.

I get that they want to take advantage of it entering public domain, but shit, do something more creative with it. Everyone just does the horror thing.

Can Disney just make a series with Mickey Mouse in his badass Italian detective version? If anything, just out of spite? Something where Mickey is heroic and likable, simply to piss all of these edgelords off?

I actually heard that the guy that did the Winnie the Pooh horror movie wants to do horror movies based on Peter Pan and Bambi, respectively titled "Neverland Nightmare" and "Bambi: The Reckoning."

There are truly some miserable people in the world
How did Disney lose the rights to Steamboat Willie version of Mickey anyway? You'd think that would be held permanently

Like, people always ask “why are there so many Disney Adults?” This is why. I consider myself more of an animation nerd as a whole, I was sad when Blue Sky folded. But I got bored of “shocking” Disney satires and grimdark parodies as a whole of kids’ properties after Robot Chicken and Drawn Together beat them like so many dead horses for, in the words of Big Dave, years and years and years and years.
Now I’m starved for the sincere, magical and cute Disney stuff.

Shout out to the person on Twitter selling an NFT named "Hey Disney, The Mouse Is Ours" of modern Mickey standing on a boat that says "End Woke" for $120 million.

just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

I think people are overthinking the impact these things actually have.
Like, it's going to be a thing people reference, nobody'll watch it like nobody watched that Pooh movie last year and we'll get on with our lives.
My only thing is that this film ain't going to be called Mickey's Moustrap by March. Zero chance Disney lets that slide at all because, come on now, that's begging for a C&D.

The name itself is, sure, but it's also not like Disney couldn't make the case that the name harms the rest of the Mickey stuff it does own. |

You'd think that would be held permanently They should’ve lost the rights to it over 20 years ago, but money can do a lot. Fortunately Disneys luck ran out on that and their IPs are now rightfully becoming public domain. |
