The mask used in the film is actually a vintage 1960s Mickey Mouse mask, albeit repainted in black and white.
The first ever horror feature film containing Mickey Mouse.
The Mouse Trap was originally set for a worldwide theatrical release in March 2024 but suffered several delays that made it be released through video on demand in the United States on August 6, 2024, by Gravitas Ventures.
On January 1, 2024, the first animated short film starring Mickey Mouse, Steamboat Willie, entered into public domain. The day the copyright lapsed, the film--then titled Mickey's Mouse Trap--was revealed to the public as the film's first trailer was released online along with several other works based on the short, such as Infestation: Origins, a Mickey-themed independent horror game.
The term of copyright for a particular work depends on several factors, including whether it has been published, and, if so, the date of first publication. As a general rule, for works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years.
Once that period of time expires, or if the creator failed to comply with any legal formalities required at the time of creation or thereafter, the work enters the public domain - meaning it belongs to everyone, without restriction. The creator may also decide before the expiration of copyright to dedicate the work to the public domain, giving that new creation to the public to use.
