Rather than some unoriginal slasher flick about a rodent of unusual size pulling a FNAF I feel like what would be so interesting to see someone put Steamboat Willie & Minnie in would be something in the vein of Epic Mickey about character’s that are aware of their writer’s effects on them but more so their copyright holder’s. Like it could include other public domain characters Disney is clutching the reins on (Oswald, Pooh, & Peter Pan come to mind) but instead of the grim dark BS it would instead be about how the copyright holders don’t always have the property’s best interests at heart & tend to bastardize & take them out of context in ways the original artist would never have done. Basically boiling down to what happens when art outlives its artist & the evils of corporations vs said artists original intentions for their work & then the characters from those works finding new life through the people who truly love it rather than those who view it purely as a cash cow they can put in the bare minimum to milk totally dry because effort=money & both are something you don’t have to put into something that’s already a household name.
