The animatronics at Disneyland have always been a huge inspiration for us. Now that Steamboat Willie is in the public domain, we’re celebrating by turning the Steamboat Willie style Mickey Mouse into a terrifying animatronic monster!

From horror games like ‘Five Nights at Treasure Island’, ‘Captain Willie’, and ‘Infestation’, to upcoming scary movies ‘Mickey’s Mouse Trap’ and ‘The Return of Steamboat Willie’, there’s a bunch of people who are jumping on the chance to make their own Mickey Mouse horror character. There’s a ton of ways we could have made a scary Mickey Mouse, and we didn’t want to re-create any of the ones already out there. We recently finished building our own animatronic Springtrap, and we really love the withered style of the Five Nights at Freddy’s animatronics, so we decided to create our horror Mickey in the FNAF style.

To make Mickey’s head we commissioned a 3D artist, Beardless Props, and worked with them to design a printable 3D model of Mickey, complete with broken bits, holes, and animatronic mounting points. We designed a 3-axis animatronic head mechanism that would let Mickey move his head in all directions, and we even gave him an animatronic jaw. Mickey’s head was finished with Bondo, paint, and flocking, and we gave him some creepy red glowing eyes.

This was our first from-scratch advanced DIY animatronic project, and while we definitely had our share of struggles, we’re really happy with how it turned out. We’re going to keep working on him, and maybe even give him a body, so if you want to follow along with our progress check us out on Patreon. And let us know what you want to see us build next!

Stay Wicked, y’all! (Disney - if you see this, please don’t sue us ♥)
