Actually Mickey Mouse isn’t entirely let go by Disney. The original version of him that first appeared in “Steamboat Willie” (1928) is now in the Public Domain. But the more modernized and well known depiction of him from Fantasia (1940) is still under copyright protection until its renewal in 2033. I’m pretty sure they won’t let go of Mickey Mouse entirely.

DioShiba responds:

You are correct.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it is in part due to because trademark laws are different from copyright if I’m not mistaken?

Its a similar situation with Bosko not being let go by WB entirely. BUT, some of those shorts are public domain as well. At the very least people can start using the shorts in remix culture to that respect.
