Disney fans have nothing to worry about … ’cause the upcoming horror flick based on “Steamboat Willie” is not going to undo any of Mickey’s magic, says a star of “Screamboat.”

Here’s the deal … the ultra-bloody indie horror movie takes the OG Mickey Mouse character and drops him in a slasher film — all thanks to the character now being in the public domain.

Tyler Posey, who stars in “Screamboat,” tells TMZ … there is nothing for Mouseketeers to worry about … ’cause the the killer rodent in his movie is clearly not Mickey.

TP is sure Disney fans will be able to clearly see a major difference between his bloodthirsty puppet costar and the beloved children’s character, without any blurred lines.

As TMZ previously reported … “Screamboat” was filmed entirely on Pete Davidson and Colin Jost’s decommissioned Staten Island Ferry … and our sources tell us so much fake blood was used during filming they had to hire a special cleaning crew.

TMZ obtained some photos from filming … and you can see a puppeteer setting up Screamboat Willie on different parts of the ship. They began filming in May and wrapped over the summer.
