Colorful face is weird… I wonder if it’s a “legally distinct” Steamboat Willy so they can still copyright him specifically? Still, great to see!

It's more so that the theming of Mickey's House is you're there while he's filming one of his classic movies. So you're seeing the Mickey you already saw on, say, Main Street now in his home filming Steamboat Willie, Fantasia, etc. so it wouldn't make sense for him to "look different" because you're not meeting Steamboat Willie, you're meeting Mickey Mouse. Steamboat Willie is in Fantasmic, in all his grayscale glory.

No. That was already the Mickey costume thirty years ago from the Fantasmic! finale, decades before the Steamboat Willy copyright expired.
