The year might actually end on a good note over here.
It’s snowing outside, which is great, because we’ve gotten ZERO snow for the entirety of December. Just lots of rain and fog which is SUPER weird.
But yeah! Snow!

Happy new year!
Same is happening where I live. We had gotten a bit of snow back in November but it’s been mostly rainy since December started. Was glad to wake up this morning to snow covering the ground.

It’s 2024 here in the US, and you know what that means? Mickey Mouse has finally entered into the public domain! It was gonna go into public domain in literally 1984, but of course Disney had to bribe Congress to fuck up the copyright law to a ridiculous degree in the decades past to prevent that from happening. But now, the cat’s out of the bag! (Maybe the mouse is out of the bag would be more appropriate here)
Also, The House at Pooh Corner has become public domain as well, so now Tigger can join all his Hundred-Acre Wood friends in the public domain too!

For context only the Steam Boat Willy Mickey Mouse is in the public domain.

It’s still very significant given for years people never expected any form of Mickey Mouse to become public domain. Even though he’s in black and white, his appearance is still unmistakably Mickey. The whole Steamboat Willie short is also significant from a historical and educational standpoint, as it was one of the first ever animations with synchronized sound.
I’m sure there will be a wealth of creative works that use Steamboat Willie as a base (imagine if Cuphead got a tie-in DLC). Disney will probably try to stop some of them, but they won’t be able to stop them all. And it’s only fair it’s finally public domain, given how much Disney has profited from public domain works in the past.

It’s undoubtedly significant, but we’re getting a very barebones iteration of the character compared to the modern interpretation that’s started in the 80’s.
Because of copyright law and Steamboat Willie going into the public domain the various projects that will come out of this will be relying heavily on creative freedom.
In other words they can use the SB Versions of Mickey, Minnie, and Pete for games, movies, books, etc and legally it will be okay. Next year will be Pluto and by the end of the decade Goofy and Donald will be in the public domain but only the versions of the characters when they first debuted.
So the design on the left is public domain it can be copied, used, contorted, for whatever but the one on the right would be illegal and would be copyright infringement. We’re just in a weird spot right now where a Mickey Mouse is for everyone but another isn’t.
But as a real world example this is what was announced as soon as Steamboat Willie hit the public domain

Of course there’s blatant cash grab and then creativity.
