Screamboat is an upcoming American slasher film directed by Steven LaMorte. It is a horror reimagining of Walt Disney's 1928 animated short film, Steamboat Willie. The film follows a group of New Yorkers who are terrorized by a murderous version of Steamboat Willie; it stars Allison Pittel, Amy Schumacher, Jesse Posey, Jesse Kove, Rumi C. Jean-Louis, Jarlath Conroy and Charles Edwin Powell, with David Howard Thornton portraying the character of Steamboat Willie.

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, this film was announced.[1][2]

Screamboat is scheduled to be theatrically released worldwide in 2025.
