hollywood10 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) For years Disney has actively defended its IP rights to all its characters and works. The case of the Air Pirate Funnies is instructive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Pirates Despite lots of congressional lobbying resulting in some copyright extensions, Disney's copyright on the early Mickey Mouse character Steamboat Willie has expired. So now Willie will become a bad guy in one or more slasher flicks. https://jabberwocking.com/quote-of-the-day-mickey-the-slasher/ Edited January 4 by hollywood10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I saw that. I can't imagine why putting Mickey into a slasher pic appeals to an audience, but I guess I am not that audience. Maybe an AI Julie Andrews in The Sound of Mayhem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
