 Hello and welcome to another episode of frightfully forgotten horror movies, but before we get started. What are we drinking today? We're drinking slaughtered lamb English bitter awesome, and damn it is bitter At least to mellow out a little bit drink too many of these y'all turn into a werewolf Crunching up and everything Today we're gonna do something a little different and talk about something that is Current yeah, like brand new and that is our thoughts on all these Horror movies and horror shorts and trailers Jumping on the whole Mickey Mouse steamboat Willie bandwagon Yeah, the copyright for the steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse came up so Now anybody can do anything with that character and the first thing that happened Was like right away a trailer dropped for Mickey's Mouse trap a slasher styled horror movie And what's funny is it appears that? They kind of knew that this copyright was gonna come up Yeah, and they already started making it with the trailer ready Right in time for when copyright expired on it. Mm-hmm. So it's kind of smart planning It is but I'm kind of curious like I'm surprised that you could do that because like that means that they actually infringed It like maybe not nothing was officially released. Yeah, like I guess not I see it as kind of a gray area almost It's like I could see like the execs at Disney you fucking bastards. You knew it You already had the movie done And there was also another trailer that popped up for steamboat Willie the return of steamboat Willie Which is looks to be a completely Computer-animated type thing. It's very vague. Mm-hmm. It just kind of is like this camera going through these cows And then it kind of goes underwater and there's like a boat And they're like the boat's abandoned looks like people have been maybe murdered on it Yeah, and then the camera turns around and it's like this mouse kind of runs towards the camera and that's it Don't you hear the whistling too? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah So what do we think about well first of all Mickey's mouse trap we watch the trailer Yeah, well your thoughts on this whole thing jumping on this bandwagon and the movie in general I think the jumping on the bandwagon thing is fine. Like there's that Winnie the Pooh movie blood and honey Yeah, yeah, so stuff like that right so these characters as they're coming up People are taking advantage of it. I think that's perfectly fine. It's how it's done, right, right? Yeah, Mickey Mouse has been around like obviously for like a hundred years, right? Yeah, yeah But he's always been stuck in the children Animation genre mm-hmm now we can expand him wherever we want But yeah again, like you said, it's how you go about it in the case of Mickey's mouse trap It's just the mask there. It's not Mickey Mouse. Yeah steamboat Willie It's just someone wearing that mask so it's kind of like the lamest way To use that character and like when you watch the trailer man, does it look fucking paint by numbers? It just looks it looks bad. Yeah, like it looks kind of shitty It reminds me a lot of that five nights at Freddy's well the same setting. Yeah, sort of deal, right? Generic pretty into slasher like come on talking about like being just lazy about it Like it's some guy wearing like a fucking sports jersey And a Mickey Mouse mask like that's fucking lean If you're gonna turn Mickey Mouse into like a slasher like a real slasher like a guy in a mask It'd be I think you look a lot cooler like yeah He had the mask on but he like also was wearing the Mickey Mouse type costume like the shorts and the suspenders Yeah, yeah, and with those gloves. Yeah light gloves He was like if you could be like a kind of muscular or something with those like no shirt on with the suspenders and the shorts like Like sweating and like a bit more, you know Medicine looking then just some fat bum in a jersey. Yeah He went for a jog and then decided to put the mask on or whatever. It's like fuck. That's lame it'd be cool if like Right in the opening scene of of the movie not this one But a movie that would be made if you see the guy like you don't see what he looks like or anything But you see this guy putting suiting up. Yeah. Yeah, the stuff on right and he's maybe whistling that steamboat Willy it could be anybody right the way they make it more of a murder mystery kind of heart back to the 80s sort of that Be kind of neat. Yeah, because like the slasher genre isn't dead You know that Thanksgiving movie just came out even though it's full of like the nostalgia type 90s slasher cliches It was a good slasher right and it you know, so you can still make a good slasher by kind of Falling back on those cliches, but it's again It's how you go about it. Yeah in this case like again It's hard to judge him judge a movie just by the trailer But like the characters look lame like there's fucking like the lines. There's one line this out of scream Yeah, like oh, you never say you're right back and it's like in a horror movie like yeah You stole that line right out of another movie like it's like so unoriginal so that's kind of my thoughts on this It just looks so fucking unoriginal and boring and lazy Yeah, the lazy way to use the Mickey Mouse or steamboat Willy version of Mickey Mouse character Yeah, but that's not gonna be the last one, right? So let's see what else these other people come up with For the return of steamboat Willy like again And this appears to be like a completely CGI computer animated movie Mm-hmm, you know we're not big CGI people, but I think that's more when it comes to like in a Movie where there could be practical effects and they use CG instead Yeah, in this case, you know a whole movie which is computer animated could be interesting Yeah, because you can do whatever the fuck you want. You're not being Limited by anything. Mm-hmm, and it's it's neat because Usually like you were saying like in a normal movie a real movie with real people and then you see CGI It looks fake and it takes you out of the movie this whole thing is CGI and it's already based on a cartoon which is Fake which you know so it sort of follows that same line Yeah, it doesn't there's nothing to take you out of that movie, right? Yeah, it looks like stuck in that Yeah, it looks like it takes place in its own world You know like it's not like a slasher and like I'm a mask. It's a legit mouse You know it's a killer mouse in this world of weird creatures, you know, which could be super interesting Yeah, it also could be the first full-length Animated horror movie. I can't think of another one. Yeah Yeah, besides like if you want to get into like the Japanese animation shit like that Yeah, that's a little different though So I'm kind of more excited to see what the CG version this return of steamboat Willie might be it could be interesting, you know Yeah, I'd like to see maybe that steamboat Willie being all rabid Like rather than a slasher with a knife or whatever have them just fucking eat people's faces off It was funny too because when we ended our 2023 season with our Q&A someone asked us so what Disney movie would you like to be turned into a horror movie? And we're like kind of scratching our heads and here it just fucking happened. Yeah, like a month later Which is crazy. Yeah, and like all these there's tons of like fan shorts and like it's just like The YouTube is being bombarded with all these Mickey Mouse steamboat Willie things. It's it's crazy how quickly people jump on that Yeah, well, it's it's kind of interesting too to see how People can switch the narrative too, right because it's like steamboat Willie or Mickey Mouse is so wholesome He's such a wholesome nice family character just to flip that and to make them evil Yeah, it's funny. That's the first thing people did Yeah, you know, that's the first thing people did was take this beloved nice character and turn them into a murderer Yeah, let's not make a comedy out of this. Let's just fucking go balls to the wall So that's kind of our thoughts on the whole steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse dilemma. Yeah, let us know what you guys think Mm-hmm and until next time keep drinking
