A day after the NFL owners voted unanimously to relocate the Jaguars to Orlando temporarily in 2027, the team posted a riff on the famous Mickey Mouse “Steamboat Willie” cartoon, saying “all aboard!”
The cartoon, “Steamboat Jaxson” features Jaxson de Ville behind the wheel of the ship, whistling along as he passes the Stadium of the Future and the I-4 Eye Sore to reach Orlando.
Orlando’s Camping World Stadium will be Jacksonville’s home for seven games in 2027 as work on the $1.4 billion Stadium of the Future pushes the Jaguars elsewhere.
Watch the hilarious Jags cartoon below:
In January 2024, the 1928 animated short Steamboat Willie entered the U.S. public domain, allowing the public to legally use, share, and remix the original film and characters.
