people are drawing Steamboat Willie Mickey doing all this crazy shit and whatnot, but you could always do that. you can do that now, with current Mickey, just fine. it's fanart and it's legally protected. hell you could take Disney-drawn Mickey and put a caption about unions or whatever on it and it would still be protected under free speech and sometimes even parody law.
what is special about public domain is that you can SELL him. you could take a screenshot and sell it on a tshirt. you can use him to advertise your plumbing business. people have already uploaded and monetized the original film.
you could always have Mickey say what you want, but now you can profit off it.

gotta say, I love the direction we're taking steamboat willie mickey mouse in now that he's public domain. I was expecting tumblr to rip him apart and be like "we feast on his corpse" (and I would have been on board with that lol), but we've decided that he's one of us now. he's a hero of the working class, newly liberated from his capitalist oppressors who sought to shackle him to traditional values and conservatism for decades. he's supportive of leftist causes. he's trans. he's married to jay fucking gatsby.
we're not celebrating that mickey mouse is dead.
we're celebrating that mickey mouse is free.
and that's beautiful.

Today's Public Domain Character
The Unknown from the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience
The Unknown is like an evil chocolatier who lives in the walls. While the story of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory are copyrighted still (i believe owned by Netflix currently as they bought the rights to all of Roald Dahl's works a few years back)
The Unknown is an original character that was created using AI to write the script for this event. AI creations are not able to be copyrighted. Therefore, its public domain
