Do you wanna see me?
The movie is set at an arcade where some young adults are gathered for an after-hours party for one of the employees. Unfortunately, her manager, who has a personal screening room on-site at the arcade, decides to watch his Steamboat Willie reel. Doing this causes him to be possessed by... something... for... reasons. He then dons his vintage Mickey Mouse mask, which wasn't a thing in 1928, and starts killing everybody.
The Mouse Trap includes clips of Steamboat Willie, both over the opening credits and during a couple of scenes in the film itself. Initially, I wondered if perhaps these scenes were put in the film to make viewers aware of details in the short, in case it'd been a while since they'd seen it. If these moments were going to become relevant later, this would be a simple way of making sure people understood what was happening.
