  1. I love Mickey mouse he makes me happy to see him on Tv

    Mickey is my favorite Disney character and I would be very sad if Disney doesn’t use him in anything, let alone animated films, shorts, specials and stuff like that.

      This is only for the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mluse, not the current version. Read the article. That said, I think it’s wrong for a company to ever lose the rights to a character THEY created.

        I think they tried to have copyright law lengthened as they have done before, but they weren’t able to. Too bad, because I agree with you.

    Steam Boat Willie and Mickey Mouse have been part od Disney forever.
    Why do people have to fix things that aren’t broken.
    Destroy the lives and memories of millions of people around the world.
    I guess money and greed are part of it.

      GOP blocked their lobbying.
      It’s sad how much the GOP believes in big government and stamping out capitalism these days

    I really hope something can be done so that the Walt Disney company doesn’t lose the copyright of their own creation
    That would just be wrong on every level

      It’s the law. In the US, copyrights last 95 years. Unless the law changes, Steamboat Willie is public domain. That’s the way it is. But Mickey IS NOT public domain so let’s not have a mickey meltdown. 😂😂

    Steamboat Willie is different from today’s updates so Mickey’s no entirely gone; hi owee it’s sad this is happening.

      These comments are ridiculously ignorant. Like top shelf stupid for real. The GOP has nothing to do with copyright 🤦😂 and this is pretty standard copyright procedure. Who cares about a version of a cartoon made by an antisemitic megalomaniac. Idiots, apparently. I don’t hear anything from you guys about Robinhood or Plastic Man or the Original Daredevil, but a version of Mickey that never gets used? Uproar. 🤦 Brenda, Glory, Denise.. please read more and procreate less.

    You all sound like a bunch of whiney Disney babies who clearly don’t understand what public doman is or means, they still own mickey, juT steamboat willy and characters are up for grabs so new new creators can try giving a stale classic a new twist of life ..plus, most of disneys golden age animated films are swiped from public domain characters, ( pete pan, Pinocchio, the mermaid, beauty and beast,etc…) it’s only fitting that what goes around comes around. .

      It is painfully obvious you didn’t read the title… you are exactly the kind of person click-bait titles exist for.

    Mickey Mouse was my favorite Disney character when I was a kid. They can’t put him in public domain. I’ve spent my life drawing my favorite iconic Disney character. What would Walt Disney would say about this?

  9. Gary
