#micky — Public Fediverse posts

After watching #SteamboatWillie and the first #Micky #cartoon but third released Plane Crazy. I can see now why #Disney didn't bother to fight to extend its copyright laws. It had zero cultural relevance in the modern era. Mickey is an asshole, who makes early Bugs Bunny look like a nice guy. Animal abuse, weird obsession with nipples on animals, In Plane crazy, he gets mad because #Minnie wont give him a kiss, then purposely drives dangerously putting her in serious danger, laughs at her and uses it as a threat to try and get a kiss to the point that she bails out of the plain. Huge obsession in both shows with her underwear.
Disney doesn't need this copyright anymore because it already has #Trademark for most of the Mickey mouse branding. Any use of this version of #MickeyMouse Will have to be covered in an insane number of labels telling people this is not a Disney product to prevent a trademark lawsuit. Disney is missing literally nothing by losing this property to public domain. I have a feeling the #copyright extension laws had much more to do what is coming into public domain in 8 years. #SnowWhite which is a fully comprehensive movie that would have gone into #publicdomain 17 years ago had they not extended it. I could see them and say DC comics try and extend them again in8 years as Superman and Batman are also coming down the pike as their copyrights run out.
