hollywood10 Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 (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, 2024 by hollywood10 Quote
Wilfrid Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 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
