Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Mickey Mouse horror film unveiled as copyright ends
Mickey Mouse is an iconic cartoon character and mascot of The Walt
Disney Company. He's known for his optimism, adventurous spirit, and a mischievous
glint in his eye. The modern version of Mickey Mouse wears red shorts, white
gloves, and large yellow shoes, which is under Disney’s copyright protection. As
of January 1, Disney’s copyright of the original “Steamboat Willie” version of
Mickey Mouse that debuted in the 1928 short film expired and entered the public
domain in the US. Unlike the modern version, this Mickey is characterized by his
simpler design, lack of gloves, oversized shoes, and black oval eyes. Now, the
friendly character of the 1928 version could be used for any purpose by anyone.
In fact, horror movies and games were already shown on the Internet. Mickey
Mouse is going to appear more than ever this year. What the most popular
Halloween costume might be this year?
Read the article and learn about what could happen when copyright
protection expires.
