Why would this cause a lawsuit?

Disney is super protective of their IP

Steamboat Willie goes out of copyright in 2024.

Ah, okay. So as long as they don't step on the toes of any other Micky Mouse films, they should be alright.

But they're not stepping in the toes of any already-existing Disney properties anyway?

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

The game is only using an art style. It's not even Disney's own art style. I don't know why this would cause any IPissues whatsoever.

Unless you're character is actually Steamboat Willy Mickey and the game is using anything or everything else from the short.
