>The original version of Betty Boop has entered the public domain in 2026Uuhhh... Thanks?
Why specifically this version?
>>151983049Thank I hate it.
>>151983066same as with Steamboat Willie version>the earliest version of Mickey Mouse from the 1928 short film Steamboat Willie entered the U.S. public domain on January 1, 2024, meaning those specific artistic works are free for public use, but Disney still holds strong copyright on later, more recognizable versions (like the one in red shorts) and trademarks on the character and name, limiting use to avoid consumer confusion. So, while you can use the 1928 black-and-white Mickey, you can't use modern Mickey or use the character in a way that suggests Disney sponsorship.
>original Pluto is also free domain this yearoh no, such a big loss for disney!
>>151983101Ew, put him to sleep
>>151983130>inb4 horror film of a dog named pluto killing stupid 20 years old college retardswith Betty Boop may be hot tho
>>151983049Wait so she was originally a dog and this wasn't just some later variant of the character?
>>151983207Okay so way back in the day she was the gf of a cartoon dog named Bimbo issue is she eclipsed Bimbo in popularity and the world forgot about him entirely. That's why she originally was a dog.
>>151983220>become a white woman>stop dating the dogunreal development
>>151983220>>151983343i like bimbo better than "fearless fred"
>>151983631>those eyelasheszesty
Blessed be the public domain 95 years is excessive though. i think the creators had the right idea when they originally had it set at 20
>>151983088>but Disney still holds strong copyright on later, more recognizable versions (like the one in red shorts)there are printed advertisements from the 1920s with full color, red shorts mickey IS public domain, fuck you disneyalso, all this trademark fuckery has been perpetuated for decades at this point by the likes of the burroughs estate, and no corpo has wanted to challenge it because they want to use it too. it'll just take one person with deep enough pockets to crack it wide open. trademark was never meant to be a shortcut to eternal copyright
>>151983687Thank Disney corporation for expanding it as much as they can to keep milking the image money
This version of Betty Boop and Toot should fuck.Quickly! Somebody get a drawfag in this thread!
>Betty Boop But She Do Da Murdur >The Little Engine That Could Murdur>Animal Crackers But Instead Of Animal It's Murdur And Instead Of Crackers It's More Murdur >Pluto Da Murdur Dawg
>>151983066>>151983088Yeah but keep in mind that this "original versions only" thing only lasts a little while. In 2024 it was true that only SBW, GG and PC were the only public domain Mickey Mouse shorts but we're already at the first 24 Mickey Mouse cartoons being in the public domain here and in five years it'll be up to the first 79.When it comes to Betty Boop, yeah, for the next 362 days she'll have to be a humanoid pug thing if you want to use her. But next year she'll already get to look like a human being... As much as she ever looked like a human being that is...Of course, this might not be the case anyway, since several Betty Boop cartoons are both available and in the public domain already, most of which feature the more recognisable design. In fact, according to Wikipedia, 51 Betty Boop cartoons are already in the public domain due to neglect,So it's probably fine to draw Betty in a more recognisable way, all that changed now is that the original short to feature her is in the public domain which means Paramount can no longer prevent other people from using her.
>>151983728funny how a lot of disney's early success depended on the existence of a generous public domainunder current terms the pinocchio story wouldnt have hit the public domain until the late 1970s
>>151983841While a plain reading of copyright law would support the idea that Human Betty Boop should be fair use as cartoons featuring that are public domain, the accepted de facto law that everyone has essentially agreed to abide by (because the very concept that ideas WITHIN a work could contain their own separate copyright wasn't even a thing back in 1930s) is that a element only becomes fair use if the very first instance it was established in is also fair use.So despite Betty Boop cartoons being public domain for decades, Betty Boop herself wasn't public domain because Dizzy Dishes wasn't public domain.Likewise, her being human isn't public domain because the first cartoon she was depicted as human is not public domain. Legally this is very shaky and not really supported by the text of the law, but courts are very resistant to shaking things up, because the problem will resolve itself over the next few decades as all the works needing manual copyright enter public domain.
>>151983144Ok so what the fuck is the deal with the horror movies that use shit that just became public domain.Its clearly some form of zoitanic conniving scheme. Is it about testing rights/ownership trying to get sued and then basically automatically winning the case because everything is very clearly public domain. Then counter suing for millions and winning/settling out of court because the better Juden won. Does anyone watch this shit. I know every film sets up like a dozen fake shell companies and shit for production. Grants/tax credits/etc free money racking up massive massive debt for everyone of these fake LLC's. It doesn't matter because they're the chosen they can claim bankruptcy on all these fake companies doing this dozens of times every year. With no repercussions, because only the goyium pay interest. Skylocks do not because they own the banks thus they all get free credit/loans. Which helps further cook the banks books. As they siphon 95% of profits to the Jews/major share holders, giving the crumbs to everyone else.Srsly I dont wannt look into it because itll 1488% be a rabbihole.So whats the deal with these shitty horror movies using public domain shit once it becomes public domain how the fuck does this make money without massive massive international banking fraud
>>151983220Bimbo is a classic, and in public domain too
>>151983948Horror movies are the cheapest type of movie to make.
>>151983049>>151983101Let's fuck them.
>>151983948>The Winnie the Pooh horror films, Blood and Honey (2023) and Blood and Honey 2 (2024), were financial hits due to their tiny budgets, with the first grossing around $7.7 million worldwide on a $100k budget, and the sequel earning over $7.5 million globally on a slightly larger $1 million budget, establishing "The Twisted Childhood Universe" for future horror crossovers
>>151983101Its nice that Disney has less standing to sue if you release a picture book or something where Mickey has a big dog palAlso, another thing nobody has mentioned, Peg-Leg Pete got his peg leg in 1930 so you can use that part about him. Also Horace and Clarabelle Cow get depicted as more than dumb farm animals.
>>151983966Well no thats porn or childrens movies if you want to be really degen and pathedic there is also the christcuck murican movie market.Public domain porn instead of poorly done parody/satire. Would be far hotter, damn now I wanna see like black&white porn done of public domain stuff.Like a really well done steamboat willy fursuit&cosplay Micky absolutely slaying Betty Boop. Throw in some slapstick violence for teh lulz. Like Micky buys her a drink she keeps flirting for free booze. Tells him to fuck off once the night is done, Micky is pissed off.BOOM slaps the bitch hard in the face HI'YA LISTEN HERE HAHA WOMAN, WHEN A MAN BUYS A LADY A DRINK AND SHE FLIRTS BACK WELL NEED I SAY MORE.>BUT YOU *SLAP SLAP BACKHAND* >AHHHH HELP>HAHA BUT YOU ARE CLEARLY A CHEAP WHORE HAHA, I CLEARLY PAID FOR SEX AND SINCE *punches in the gut steps on toe upper cuts to the jaw*>AHHHH NO NO MORE I-I-I'M SORRY MISTER *drops dress*>OH BOY I SURE DO LOVE GRIMY FILTHY DUMPSTER SEX WITH A BEATEN UP UGLY DOG FACED PROSTITUTE, OH BOY IF ONLY PLUTO WAS HERE TO JOIN IN ON THE FUN HAHA>Insert 2 hours of degenerate sex two homeless guys showing up and joining in after Micky starts beating her for saying no&fighting back>Sex ends with everyone pissing on her, Micky spits in her face WOWIE ITS BEEN A BLAST GAL THAT SURE WAS SUPER FUN I HOPE YOU LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON!>"Full on mental breakdown psychosis induced panic attack screaming crying make up smuged everywhere makes her look like a clown sitting on the floor pulling out hair rocking back and forth>WHOA hick hick hey guys lookies wot I found hey dame wanna have some fun with 3 guys *pulls out massive knife. >Its the most repulsive booze stanking homebums ever >Ends with a homebum grabbing her by the throat slamming her on the ground as they all drop their pants. She vomits from the smell start choking hard when trying to scream.HAHA Bye'ah pals enjoy your hot dogs you dogfaced whore
>>151984076He had a peg leg before disney was a thing.
>>151983913This is what has always rustled my jimmies about their anti public domain stances. Hypocritically pulling up ladders.
>>151983913Yes, Pinocchio would only start reaching te public domain after Walt died.
>>151983066It is the year it came out which is 1930. Betty Boop received a redesign in 1931. I think that version we all know enters public domain next year or the one after.
>>151983841It just depends I think on how litigious the rights holders want to be.I think Holmes' estate was pretty litigious about if your Holmes had more personality then you were using the wrong version because he was more flat in the earliest books that were public domain at that time.
>>151983948I was going to try and give a proper response but then>>151984352makes it clear you're just a schizogo jerk off in a corner
>>151983101Looks better actually.
now she can fuck koko
>>151983049Blondie and Nancy Drew also entered Public Domain. I'd really like to see more done with Nancy Drew. Like a modern day 3D kiddie cartoon similar to Mira Royal Detective.
>>151987483Have Nancy Drew investigate Dexter Morgan.
>>151983948It shouldn't be too hard to make a good horror movie too. Just put Popeye in innsmouth and done.
>>151988635Rounding up the years.>publish a work in may of 1900.>it is rounded up to January 1st of 1901 to January 1st of 1996.
Any good place to watch Fleischer shorts?
>>151983101awwh
>>151987483I could get behind a Nancy Drew cartoon. There was a live action series on the CW a few years ago and an independent documentary is in the works for the centennial, if someone wanted to use her an audience is already there.
>>151988811YouTube, or Wikipedia.
>>151983066It's not a Why, it's a When.
>>151989661I remember the CW show. I quit watching it once it got too far into supernatural stuff. I never read any of the books, but the show felt like it jumped the shark once they started exorcising a ghost or something.
>>151987483>BlondieIs that old?
>>151983049>The fat ugly oneno Thanks.
>>151983049Why did boomers love her so much?
>>151990717She represents the eternal flapper girl from the 1920s
pre-code Betty>sovlful dog features>floppy ears>poodle aestheticpost-code Betty>disgusting >no paws design>no floppy ears>no poodle aesthetic
>>151983101>>151987483
>>151983948my schizo headcanon with zero evidence to back it up is that disney are secretly funding or making these films to try and convince lawmakers that their beloved children's IPs should never fall into the public domain
>>151983049
>>151991013She became human before the code.
>>151991164I think they see these movies as useful idiots, I heard that they went against normal projects Involving Pooh.
>>151984980Yeah, but the Doyle estate got laughed out of court for that argument. They lost that case. And now it doesn't matter because Holmes is free and clear as of a couple years ago
>>151990688Yep. She was originally a brainless flapper girl scandelizing Dagwood's rich industry tycoon father
>>151983841King Features Syndicate controls the Boop trademarks, not Paramount
>>151991013It's interesting how divisive poodle Betty/Nancy is for most people. I can go either way. Both designs have their place in the world. In the lead upto her lapse I had alot of art planned but I only barely scratched the surface. I want to see where the thread goes before I share more pieces.
Does anybody cares what goes into public domain? They're too old for people to seriously like and are just cheaper fodder for two dollar horror movies.
>>151984010I really wish those movies had the tiniest modicum of effort put into them. It wouldnt take alot to make a decent horror reimagining of Pooh and friends, let alone the other PD additions like Pinocchio or Bambi. Puppet Master and Child's Play should have been looked to as blueprints for a project like this. Instead its just a bunch of guys in tattered clothes and shitty masks killing twenty somethings.
Bump for interest.
>>151991897Ok
>>151983687It should be 50 years or like the old system where you had it for 28 years and can renew it for another 28.
>>151983948It's just the most sophomoric and trivially predictable use of the properties. That and porn, presumably.
>>151991738Why bother? Horrortards will slurp up literally anything in between rounds of buying shit with jason on it
>>151983049Good. Now someone can make an R rated animated snuff film called Boop.
>>151991086Brb going to work on my manuscript for dagwood and tintin and popeye the movie
No one's talking about the cat dancers in the same short?
>>151992224dare someone to draw gay porn of the gay waiter
>>151991086Plastic man is public domain?
>>151992548He has been for decades. Quality was more or less another Fawcett situation. They barely scraped by into the early 50's, with Plas and Blackhawk doing all their heavy lifting, only for DC to swoop in and buy them out shortly after. Just like with Fawcett however alot of the early issues werent renewed. So tons of them just lapsed.
>>151983737early Blondie is also public domain and can join in
>>151983049I thought it happened months ago
>>151992548It's one of those thorny things, supposedly Captain Marvel and Namor are public domain too but nobody wants to poke the bear unless it can be assumed for absolute certainty that DC and Marvel have no legal grounds to sue.
>>151991897who's the dame in the middle?
>>151995085You thought it happened months ago
>>151995166Blondie. Also in public domain.
>>151983049Where IsThePORN
