The mask used in the film is actually a vintage 1960s Mickey Mouse mask, albeit repainted in black and white.
The Mouse Trap was originally set for a worldwide theatrical release in March 2024, but suffered several delays. As a result, it was released through video on demand in the United States on August 6, 2024 by Gravitas Ventures.
Originally titled as Mickey's Mouse Trap, the film was announced on Janaury 1, 2024, the same day Mickey's Steamboat Willie version went into the public domain. Due to The Walt Disney Company retaining exclusive rights to the depictions of the character from their own franchise, the film changed its title to The Mouse Trap in July 2024.
The first ever horror film featuring Mickey Mouse.
Principal photography took place in Funhaven, an amusement arcade in Ottawa, Canada, over the course of 8 days in Summer 2023.
