I wonder how many low budget Steamboat Willie slasher films are being filmed tight now, only to flood the market in 2025 and leading to the Great Cinema Crash of 2026 killing millions

Steamboat Willie goes PD next year, including that version of Mickey.

Disney still owns later iterations of him, so you cant use things that were added later.
You are also not allowed to use him in such ways so people believes that it was made by Disney.

Yeah the thing about Public Domain on characters that are constantly evolving and in regular use is that you gotta be very, very careful about your use of them. It'd be really easy to fuck up.

Don't give a fuck about Disney but I do think it's fucked up to make something public domain when the company still actively makes use of the character.

Conversely I think it's bullshit to use a character one time in like a decade to maintain the copyrights. Like for companies that bought out certain comic book characters. Read one case where dude did a interview dressed up as dick Tracey just to keep the copyrights.

If there isn't a Steamboat Willie porno (Motorboat Willies?) online within ten minutes of Public Domain kicking in, then the Internet has failed.

Could be wrong, but my guess is it's because it falls under parody. No doubt Disney tried to sue them for it though

I'm surprised Nintendo didn't sue Peta. Peta at one time had some crappy rip off Nintendo games trying to claim Nintendo was pro animal cruelty. Or at least one game. It was pokemon game where you played pokemon battling humans and freeing their captured pokemon. They didnr even change the names. The only changes where the pokemon where all made to look injured.

It's kinda funny thinking Pokemon of all things are enslaved by humans when it's constantly shown that the pokeballs are more of a formality rather than a capture device

Steamboat Willie =/= Mickey Mouse, at least not in the contemporary sense.

Well they also went after Mario over wearing a racoon suit. It's not he skined a fucking racoon (would be one big fucking racoon) and wore it. The suit is magically created from all I can tell.

The other game they called out was cooking mama
