The first cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse, Steamboat Willie, is due to enter the public domain on 1st Jan 2024. This has been due to happen on multiple earlier dates however, and the mouse has always dodged the deadline by changes to copyright law that have extended Disney's tenure of ownership over the renowned rodent. Will this time finally be the time, or will he escape again? Place your bets!
RESOLUTION CLARIFICATION: This seems pretty difficult to stop now but I will wait for reputable press articles in Jan 2024 to say 'Mickey Mouse is public domain now' or words to that effect before resolving.
