Nation of Animation Presents:Steamboat Willie, the iconic cartoon that launched Disney's empire, has entered the public domain. He's also been MURDERED! Ryan and Brooke, lifelong cartoon fans with unfulfilling day jobs, take it upon themselves to solve this unsolvable case of mouseslaughter – and their investigation will take them into a sordid, strange world of two-dimensional two-timing, cartoonish corruption, and monochrome mystery.They'll encounter public domain figures with a potential axe to grind with Steamboat Willie, from Captain Pete to Tigger to the mythical Hercules himself. What happens to a character when they enter the public domain? What does it mean to be an intellectual property? And how could any of this be worth killing someone over? The answers may shake Ryan and Brooke's faith in cartoons, authorship, and the public domain itself.The Murder of Steamboat Willie is a Nation of Animation production, and is not produced, endorsed, licensed, or approved by the Walt Disney Corporation. All established characters depicted therein are in the public domain.Written and Directed by Ryan Stevens and Brooke-Erin Smith.Produced by Danny MendozaRyan and “Mike” were played by Ryan StevensBrooke was played by Brooke-Erin SmithNewscaster was played by Madison HillCaptain Pete was played by Makela YepezTigger was played by Freddie PowersDisney Lawyer was played Kelsea WoodsPinnocchio was played by John FloydPeter Pan was played by Clare RollingerHercules was played by David KepnerAdditional voices for the Disney adults were provided by Jordan “Old Bean” Smith-Bowers and Hayden BowersOriginal music composed by Mitch McAndrew.
