  • Well, 2024 is here, and with it comes Walt Disney's "Steamboat Willie" entering the public domain. The Big Bad Wolf points out that this doesn't meant Mickey Mouse is completely a public domain character; just his original 1920s form is. And horror movie and game creators have even strategically planned to announce such new projects on New Year's Day. One such movie, "Mickey's Mousetrap," even uses a familiar tight rubber Halloween mask of the iconic rodent, and the Big Bad Wolf explains a bit about the use of such masks in those kind of films.

    I'm happy you reminded me and every other disney fan that the black and white Mickey Mouse is going into the public domain and not the other Mickey Mouse that was alot more friendly then the early Mickey Mouse.

    That moment with Zak Wolf appearing with several masks on was unexpected.
    And speaking of wolves, it's the 67th anniversary of Looney Tunes cartoon "Three Little Bops".

    Crazy thing about that horror Mickey film is that they're literally copying what happened when Pooh first came out to Public Domain. Which is really weird and messed up.

    Ever since Mickey went to the Public Domain, I obviously noticed a lot of people were freely and quickly uploading "Steamboat Willie" on here, including its uncensored version, which I have also seen.

      To be fair, the character and general story of Snow White are already public domain as a folkloric character and folktale, respectively.

    I bet Wile E. Coyote would be really unhappy if the year 2045 has a horror movie based of Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner when the 1949 debut short Fast and Furry-ous enters the public domain.
    I believe that the 95 year copyright protection rule will apply to all copyrighted works up until 1977. So, by the Year 2065, all theatrical Warner Bros. cartoons from 1930-1969 will be in the public domain. A Wild Hare (1940) will enter the public domain in 2036. For copyrighted works that are from 1978 to 2002 that are corporate ownership, the copyright will expire 95 years after first publication or 120 years after creation, whichever is shorter, so the copyright of 1988 works will expire in either 2084 or 2108 and by the year 2120, the copyright of all works in the 20th century would’ve expired by then.

    0:52 - I have seen one sketch from John Oliver. It was based on Thomas the Tank Engine, and it featured Henry as a freight train, causing problems for the other people and vehicles of Sodor due to how much freight he has to pull, a majority of it being liquified natural gas. It was much better than how Mattel has handled Thomas as of late.
    3:14 - IMO, the highlight of these masks is the one of Earl Sinclair in the upper-left corner.
    5:25 - I know. I have seen your Arthur UA-cam Poop on that subject.
    Steamboat Mickey and Steamboat Pete are still racers in Disney Speedstorm, but they were in that game before they officially became Public Domain characters.

      And I know who's making those Disney's favorite childhood characters in the public domain, it's Jagged Edge Productions! They're the ones who made horror movies out of everyone's favorite childhood characters! And, this is why we are going to deny and delay all of the horror movies for the horror company, because it really breaks everyone's heart very badly! And so does Winnie The Pooh and Mickey mouse and a few others. And remember when I watch a rant video on disney horror movies? It's the only way to get jagged edge Productions to get sued by Disney big time.
