A terrifying FNAF-style Mickey Mouse animatronic

The copyright for Steamboat Willie famously expired firstly of this yr. Steamboat Willie was the primary look Mickey Mouse, so this copyright expiration is a giant deal for Disney. Anybody will have the ability to use the character for the primary time in historical past, as Mickey Mouse is now within the public area. To rejoice this momentous event, Jaimie and Jay of the Depraved Makers YouTube channel constructed this terrifying FNAF-style Mickey Mouse animatronic.

A number of months in the past, Depraved Makers constructed a 5 Nights at Freddy’s Springtrap animatronic and the outcomes have been wonderful. For this venture, they took a lot of those self same classes, strategies, and stylistic selections and utilized them to Mickey.

It is a full, life-saved head that may transfer, open and shut its jaw, and direct its scary glowing gaze. The overwhelming majority of the top’s construction is a 3D-printed shell (modeled by BeardlessProps) with a ridiculous quantity of very good texturing, portray, and weathering. The ears, for instance, have a coating of darkish fiber that offers a felt-like look. The aesthetic does a improbable job of creating this appear to be an previous and crushed animatronic from a theme park.

The motion is all actuated by pastime servo motors managed by an Arduino UNO R4 board. Depraved Makers added a USB host protect, which allow them to join a PlayStation 4 controller. The Arduino reads the stick positions and button presses from the PS4 controller and adjusts the servo motors accordingly. That permits for good natural management when puppeteering.

This video ends with the animatronic dying. However from what we noticed earlier than that, it was very a lot successful. The Depraved Makers plan to restore the top and can submit a video with updates, so make sure you subscribe to their channel.
