Mickey Mouse is public domain

Well it looks like that Winnie the Pooh got horror movie,but Disney who owns Winnie the Pooh is not lawsuiting a creator for this nowadays.

Disney does not own Winnie the Pooh, the character is in the public domain and anyone can use it in their work now.

Blame all the idiocy down to those who profit off Steamboat Willie without permission from Disney. They somehow found a loophole in the copyright system, and now I get this recommended to me.

What a fucking joke.

Honestly... Why a horror movie? Just fucking yawn... Be a bit more original with it for goofy's sake!

Wonder if Disney did did this on purpose to fully answer the question of "What could possibly go wrong?". I guess we got our answer, now i can see TPC extending the copyrights til humanity dies off to prevent Pokemon from going PD though (I hope it'll be treated more kindly) if it did.

If Nintendo ever did this, then the reaction would be the exact opposite.

pretty sure the NOA building would be a pile of cinders and rubble if they do that pretty sure the reason why disney hasn't done it (yet) is becausei'm thinking it can't be that vague or it can be challenged easily as uncon (though i'm supprised extending it about 10X by now hasn't triggered a challenge yet well at least a decent one) this just adds ammo to disneys artilery I myself rather see reform in the form of higher "fair use in good faith" (meaning as long as tthe project is not to distain or troll the copyright and no profit (including donations) are made the creators of fan projects should be protected

Because horror movies don't need a large budget, don't need big name actors, and don't need to be good, in order to make money.
Also, FNAF and clones are CRAZY popular recently so "horror with kiddie mascots" is all the rage.

I wish we can get a Seth McFarlene movie with a inspired version of Mickey mouse.

I say this because I always felt Ted was a grown up version of Winnie the Pooh.
