00:02 Disney's Steamboat Willie, the first Mickey Mouse cartoon, entered the public domain on January 1st
00:07 of 2024 after its copyright expired. Within the first two days, independent video game and film
00:12 creators have announced horror movies and a video game featuring Mickey Mouse from Steamboat Willie.
00:16 Memes have also spread online, showing Mickey Mouse in absurd and inappropriate scenes now
00:20 that the copyright has expired. Creators can now use this early version of Mickey Mouse from
00:24 Steamboat Willie in their own commercial works such as video games, movies, and more.
