Hewes Pictures proudly presents I HEART WILLIE—a sinister, Steamboat Willie-inspired horror/slasher—coming exclusively to theaters for a One Night Only® event on February 26, 2025, across North America.
What is I Heart Willie?
Directed by Alejandro G. Alegre, I HEART WILLIE is a chilling origin story that reimagines one of history’s most iconic cartoon characters through a dark, twisted lens. Combining horror with a slasher edge and a horrifying love story, this film is designed to thrill and terrify genre fans in equal measure.
Popular YouTubers Daniel and Nico are invited to investigate a haunted property, drawn by rumors of a malevolent force. The legend centers on a boy born with deformities, resembling a human-mouse hybrid, who inspired Walt Disney’s Steamboat Willie. Abused and isolated, this boy—now known as Willie—crafts a macabre bodysuit from the skins of trespassers. Although his gruesome legacy faded into folklore, a series of recent disappearances rekindles the horror. As Daniel and Nico prepare for a night of thrills, they unwittingly step into a deadly game of survival.
