Steamboat Willie is Back with Beast Kingdom's Newest Disney Statue
The Magic of Mickey Mouse is coming to Beast Kingdom once again with some brand new and exclusive collectible D-Stage statues
Steamboat Willie was the Disney cartoon that started it all by bringing Mickey Mouse into the world. It looks sleek that this original version of Mickey has now hit the public domain, and a lot of wacky reveals have already happened. It is still a head-scratcher that the first thing people decide to make when a character hits the public domain is a horror flick. However, the magic of Steamboat Willie will always stay heartfelt and true with Disney fans, and Beast Kingdom is keeping that magic to life with a new D-Stage statue. Releasing as PX Previews Exclusive, Beast Kingdom has revealed a new all black and white Steamboat Willie statue. Staying true to the cartoon's black and white animation roots, Mickey and Mickey are sailing downstream with plenty of detail to admire. Steamboat Willie fans find this Beast Kingdom D-Stage statue already up for pre-order at $33.99 with a May 2024 release.
Disney D-Stage Steamboat Willie
"The black-and-white short film Steamboat Willie, initially released in New York City's Colony Theater on November 18, 1928, is notable for being the first Disney animated film with synchronized sound and film. The cartoon illustrates the rascally adventures of the playful Mickey while he is working on his steamboat. Cleverly coupled with memorable tunes, the film successfully brought joy to the masses and is still a hallmark of movie magic to this day."
"Featuring Mickey and his soon-to-be lifelong love, Minnie, D-Stage – DS-017EX – Steamboat Willie shows Mickey whistling away with joy as they both approach the lake of love! The statue has a simple, uniform design, and this exclusive version is painted in Black and white for a truly authentic appearance! A must-have statue for any collector of timeless pieces based on iconic animated movies."
