July 9, 20223 yr No word where he's gonna land, but you know he's fixin' tuh get paid. Disney might pony up the $$$ and keep him. Or perhaps Fox steps up. He could even chose to start his own brand. Gonna be real fun to see what he does with his freedom! As a consequence of US copyright law, entertainment giant Disney could soon lose the exclusive rights to some of the characters most responsible for the brand’s universal recognition, including the mouse that acts as its mascot. Mickey Mouse will enter the public domain in the year 2024, almost 95 years after his creation on 1 October 1928 – the length of time after which the copyright on an anonymous or pseudo-anonymous body of artistic work expires. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jul/03/mickey-mouse-disney-copyright-expiry
July 9, 20223 yr I feel like Disney’s lawyers will figure out a way to keep a stranglehold on their characters. It’s an interesting Prospect however. Prepare for a lot of shit products with Mickey on them. if someone like Cedar Fair or other entity wants to create a Mickey Mouse Land that’s a ripoff of Disneyland but you don’t have to wait 45 minutes in line to ride the teacups or spend a day’s pay to feed your family a meal, I’ll be all in. Throw in some legit rides would be a bonus.
July 9, 20223 yr This is actually really fascinating. We could start selling Mickey Mouse shirts and paraphernalia.

July 9, 20223 yr lol at a world where disney takes their eye off the ball and just casually lets things slide.
