Only the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey is public domain, not the character as a whole. Disney probably could take legal action here, but probably won’t since this is just a low budget piece of shit.
>but probably won’t since this is just a low budget piece of shit
Middle Earth Roleplay Project was free and it still got C&D'd because "muh precedence"
This is pure disney cope, its never had to be tested because it was all under copyright but the "its just this one version of the character!" is shit they whipped up to try to extend it even further.
>Disney probably could take legal action here, but probably won’t since this is just a low budget piece of shit.
lol since when has that stopped them? They've sent cease and desist threats about daycares, car washes and fricking tombstones using Disney shit. Anything that deviates even slightly from the Steamboat Willie design is going to be sued into oblivion to set precedent.
i know it’s a meme but they can do that anyways since parodies fall under fair use. axel braun made his entire career out of using copyrighted characters.
Use the character of Mickey Mouse as an analogue for Disney's stagnation, greed, and incompetence, perhaps by drawing on it being literal vermin and construct Mickey as a thief, a fraudster, an entity which steals identity because it never individuated?
You could literally do anything. Shit just an old style story where his steamboat goes down the wrong river and he gets into hijinks with new characters would be better than this shit
An avenger style movie with Steamboat Willie, Pooh, and Alan Quarterman, among other Public domain characters.
In fact, forget avengers. It could be a Kingdom Hearts of some sort. Could be a game instead even.
I actually like this idea.
Or they could make a Hearts of Darkness style movie. Steamboat Willie takes the crew up the Congo River.
There's so many possibilities, it's pathetic how unimaginative people with money usually are.
>DUDE TAKE A CARTOON CHARACTER AND MAKE HIM CREEPY FR FR NO CAP
I fricking hate zoomers, I don't like Disney but this is low effort as shit, first Pooh now this shit
Make a better fricking effort to do so. I agree with the message but I don't like the execution. I'm not gonna cheer for some autistic kid that yells 'Frick Black folk' in front of my apartment block, for instance.
no one is morally outraged that le cute and pure wholesome consumerist brand is being defiled, it's just trite edgelord shit made by the same kids who still think "what if we killed Barney xD" is outrageous
I'm racist so I think killing Barney would be hilarious all those 90s globohomosexual shows are really awful they are shows I would make Gitmo prisoners watch. Can you come up with a better example?
I remember a lot of jokes about torturing and murdering Elmo and Pikachu in the 90s. And 2 years later they all turned into Kill Minions jokes. Like some people have an unnatural hatred for childrens’ media icons.
Hahaha i made you respond to my post
How does it feel wasting the precious moments of you brief life replying to an idiot on the internet?
Hahahahahahahaha
>It’s called a business
No it isn't. It's like when people use AI and say look what I made. They didn't do jackshit.
Cope btw. Your movie is going to be fricking garbage.
shit yeah, wasn't that one of the first? along with Lincoln vampire Hunter? P&P fooled some folks with the high/low brow cross-up but it always smelled fishy to me
Only the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey is public domain, not the character as a whole. Disney probably could take legal action here, but probably won’t since this is just a low budget piece of shit.
No it's not you moron, good horror movies come out every year, it's just proof that people will try to make a quick buck whenever they find the opportunity
only thing this does is give Disney more pub and it doesn't cost them a dollar. if anyone thinks 'oh they're mad because it hurts their image!!!!'. they don't care. if it makes them more money, they'll sell their soul to the devil himself. couple of horror movies and some fan bs is the least of their worries considering Mickey isn't getting theatrical releases anyway.
My question is, why does everything have to be from a negative viewpoint?
Why does it have to jump directly into gore and violence?
Why can't someone do something positive with the IP?
because that kind of constructivism is harder. where is the value add. family friendly consumers already have readily available higher quality originals. horror fans are less discerning, the violence and structure is the novelty with immediate appreciability, like admiring a sunset but it's a Saw trap instead
Yes it is. Mickey Mouse is a character in the movie titled Steamboat Willie. He is the same character who appeared in the other two 1928 cartoons that went public.
>A vital caveat is that the later versions of the characters, like those in 1940 film Fantasia, are not in the public domain and cannot be copied without a visit from Disney's lawyers.
so you can only use the character from steamboat willie which looks like shit
>The company has even added a clip from Steamboat Willie to the opening sequence of every Walt Disney Animation Studios film.
And they will still uphold trademarks for other shit
In 12 years Fantasia will be public domain too, that's going to be great.
The Wizard Apprentice with Mickey is one of my favorite short movies. It's so... Fun, and beautiful. I always feel like a kid again whenever I watch it.
Donald Duck is probably more popular than Mickey. When do they lose him? I know the Oregon college football team gets to use him because Walt himself let them but if he goes full public domain there will probably be more cool Donald Duck stuff.
Normies would love it
didn’t this guy get outed as a groomer pedo?
Why do you ask if you already know?
guy looks like he'd pay the rent of a guy fricking his wife for a year and then gets mad she leaves him for the other guy
thats why his videos are even better now
Never proven in court chud.
miss my homie jorobe like you wouldnt believe. who cares if he was a minor predator pedo homosexual that's our white culcha and they discriminatin
Cinemaphile will always be a jorobechad board
What are people supposed to do with this now that its public domain? Other than make shitty horror movies
A musical
>This is my Steamboat
>And this is my Willie
>willies willies i love willies
Sir, could you keep it down please
Only the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey is public domain, not the character as a whole. Disney probably could take legal action here, but probably won’t since this is just a low budget piece of shit.
>but probably won’t since this is just a low budget piece of shit

Well, Disney never took legal action against this movie despite the fact that it was filmed at Disney World without their knowledge or permission.
Did anyone actually watch this? I only remember articles about fake controversy while the actual movie was low budget artsy crap
Jenny did a pretty good analysis.
I did back then, the best part is the pool scene.
Disney has threated to sue daycares for having Mickey Mouse paintings on their walls.
This is pure disney cope, its never had to be tested because it was all under copyright but the "its just this one version of the character!" is shit they whipped up to try to extend it even further.
>its never had to be tested
No one has ever enforced a trademark before?
such bullshit but I expect nothing less from capitalism
>Only the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey is public domain
Not quite right.
>Disney probably could take legal action here, but probably won’t since this is just a low budget piece of shit.

The world's your oyster
Have fun and do something creative
Use the character of Mickey Mouse as an analogue for Disney's stagnation, greed, and incompetence, perhaps by drawing on it being literal vermin and construct Mickey as a thief, a fraudster, an entity which steals identity because it never individuated?
Jesus frick, it's not hard!
Why do we need answers right away? How old were fairy tales before Disney made their movies?

Btw here's the AI slop poster of the Steamboat Willie heart of darkness movie

I fricking hate zoomers, I don't like Disney but this is low effort as shit, first Pooh now this shit
I hate you for pretending Mickey Mouse shouldn't be villainized. Disney sucks and the character is lame. Bugs Bunny is a GOD next to him.
>You can't criticise our low effort slop because mouse bad we NEED to send a message
You must be a big fan of political comics
Make a better fricking effort to do so. I agree with the message but I don't like the execution. I'm not gonna cheer for some autistic kid that yells 'Frick Black folk' in front of my apartment block, for instance.
Nah, I want people to rub the most low-effort bullshit on DIsney's face.

Bugs Bunny is a C-lister. What the frick are you talking about?
Mickey is fricking based and Bugs is a cross dressing freak gay who wishes he was a woman like all your tranime Discord friends.
You're telling me you only know of these characters because of discord.
4 years until this cartoon goes public and racism can finally win
Zoomers wrote and produced this?
it's the trend that zoomers worship and created the demand
millenials did it first with mario and sonic ad nausea
lolnope
Yes? Are you not aware of creepypastas like sonic.exe?
>acting as if low budget horrors of public domain characters haven't existed for decades
name three (3) that were made before 2010
Gingerdead Man (2005)
Jack Frost (1997)
Snow White: A Tale of Terror (1997)
Pinocchio's Revenge (1996)
literally any movie with zombies
Hahaha i made you respond to my post
How does it feel wasting the precious moments of you brief life replying to an idiot on the internet?
Hahahahahahahaha
Mad
It's certainly going to be one of the movies of all time
You need to leave.
For what?
It’s called a business
Maybe you’re just jealous the people making the movie are more successful than you will ever be
>It’s called a business
No it isn't. It's like when people use AI and say look what I made. They didn't do jackshit.
Cope btw. Your movie is going to be fricking garbage.
this movie was so bad but it had some nice breasts in it
This is millennial shit a la Pride Prejudice and Zombies. Peak moronic millennial humor
t. millennial
shit yeah, wasn't that one of the first? along with Lincoln vampire Hunter? P&P fooled some folks with the high/low brow cross-up but it always smelled fishy to me
Blame horrortards for this.
Have fun with crappy Mickey horror films for a decade now. Maybe even a Mickey Pooh crossover film.
Okay.
Make a movie or a game about a man who hunts groomers in a Steamboat Willie mask.
>Mickey Mouse murdering Christians
Stop trying to make me horny
weak bait, do better
It's not bait. Christians rape kids and seeing them get murdered by cartoon mascots would be cool. Sorry you're an election tourist.
Shit, I’d pay to see a movie where a guy in a “Mickey” mask went Boondock Saints on pedos and other scumbags.
That would get copyright struck because you can't portray Disney in public domain derivatives.
But whose supposed to be the villain?
Jews
ENOUGH WITH THE SHITTY HORROR FILMS
How long until Star Wars is public domain?
50 years
Steamboat Killy?
Why are they all using black and white mickey mouse? Why not make his pants blue or something?
see
Get rid of the "mickey" part and just call it "Mouse trap" and they probably could have gotten away with the movie anyways
How did other movies have characters named Mickey?
Is the name "Mickey mouse" also public domain?
Of course not you moron
Yes, it is. And trademark doesn't trump public domain, so you call stuff "Mickey Mouse" and it's fine as long as it's clear it isn't made by Disney.
proof that "horror" as a genre is lowest common denominator trash with no new ideas
No it's not you moron, good horror movies come out every year, it's just proof that people will try to make a quick buck whenever they find the opportunity
not reading all that but just wanted to say no, and i'm right
>no new ideas
You really don't understand the public domain so you?
>oh, this thing can be used now without being sued, better regurgitate the thing but with "scary" on top!
so no new ideas
Yeah, welcome to public domain.
right so like i said, horror as a genre is fricking braindead
It's time to MicKILL
then don't watch it and quit fricking posting about it moron, you're doing exactly what they're counting on for free publicity
The real question is, how much taxpayer money will desantis use to commission projects to shit on mickey?
only thing this does is give Disney more pub and it doesn't cost them a dollar. if anyone thinks 'oh they're mad because it hurts their image!!!!'. they don't care. if it makes them more money, they'll sell their soul to the devil himself. couple of horror movies and some fan bs is the least of their worries considering Mickey isn't getting theatrical releases anyway.
probably going to back fire unless both the films take place on a steam boat. Only mickey as seen in steam boat willy is public domain.
The public domain is a fricking joke
Reminder that Disney wouldn't have shit without the public domain.
Pooh's Adventure autists and those other weirdos make those videos of random cartoons merged together are going to have a field day.
You guys know what I'm talking about?
That seems an appropriate sendoff, given what Disney's done to itself. Down the hatch.
he's right about the public domain
What'd he say?
it's for homosexuals
I thought they had an eternal grip on the rights? Did it finally expire?
My question is, why does everything have to be from a negative viewpoint?
Why does it have to jump directly into gore and violence?
Why can't someone do something positive with the IP?
because that kind of constructivism is harder. where is the value add. family friendly consumers already have readily available higher quality originals. horror fans are less discerning, the violence and structure is the novelty with immediate appreciability, like admiring a sunset but it's a Saw trap instead
steamboat willie is not mickey mouse kek
Yes it is. Mickey Mouse is a character in the movie titled Steamboat Willie. He is the same character who appeared in the other two 1928 cartoons that went public.

Disney seems to have forgotten Mickey even existed ever since Kingdom Hearts 3.
In 12 years Fantasia will be public domain too, that's going to be great.
The Wizard Apprentice with Mickey is one of my favorite short movies. It's so... Fun, and beautiful. I always feel like a kid again whenever I watch it.

Garbage doesn't stop being garbage because it's got a free to use mascot.
the Black person that made shitass willie has been in the ground for decades and we let them drag copyright laws out that long
ITT: no one understands the difference between copyright and trademark
