Screamboat is an upcoming American horror comedy film co-written, produced, and directed by Steven LaMorte. It is a horror reimagining of Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks's 1928 animated short film, Steamboat Willie. The film follows a group of New Yorkers who are terrorized by a murderous version of Mickey Mouse; it stars Tyler Posey and Kailey Hyman, with David Howard Thornton portraying Mickey.

While the Walt Disney Company retains exclusive rights to the depictions of Mickey Mouse from their own franchise, the Steamboat Willie version of the character entered the public domain on January 1, 2024; one day later, Screamboat was announced.[1][2]

Screamboat is scheduled to be theatrically released worldwide on January 24, 2025.
