Since 1st January, 2022, some of the most famous works have become public domain, this is because there is a law according to which after 96 years from the creation and publication of a certain work, all copyright rights decay, which means that that specific work becomes public domain and everyone can use it to produce new content about it.

Since the beginning of 2022, one of the most famous works that has lost copyright rights is Winnie the Pooh, but it is not the only one, for example Bambi also lost copyright rights, and now, in 2024 it will be up to Mickey Mouse and Tiger.

All this means that, for example, we can all develop a story about Winnie The Pooh, but the important thing is that visually it doesn’t look like Disney’s designs, because those are still copyrighted.

Disney is trying to find a solution about it by creating live-action versions of the classic stories hoping that it can get them into the collective imagination, trying to "forget" the stories drawn with also new merchandise dedicated to new products, as in a few years they will all become public domain and Disney will not be able to make as much money as today, as they will no longer be his property. In all this, the creatives have wasted no time and have immediately exploited, for example, Winnie the Pooh creating a new 'universe' that is totally detached from the original, as we talk about Horror:

And a new film called Mickey's Mouse Trap has also recently been announced in which a killer disguised as a mouse will stalk a group of boys, the synopsis reads in fact as follows:

It is Alex's 21st birthday, but she is stuck in the arcade during the last shift, so her friends decide to surprise her, but a masked killer dressed as Mickey decides to play a game of his own with them that she must survive.

Teaser Trailer:

The movie currently has no release date yet but the producers plan to release it in March 2024.

It was directed by Jamie Bailey, who said in a statement, "We just wanted to have fun. I mean, it's Steamboat Willie's Mickey Mouse killing people. It's ridiculous. We put a lot of effort and fun into it, and I think it shows.''

The film stars Sophie McIntosh, Callum Sywyk, Allegra Nocita, Ben Harris, Damir Kovic, Mackenzie Mills, Nick Biskupek, and Simon Phillips and was produced by Paul Whitney, Mark Popejoy, Alexander Gausman, and Andrew Agopsowicz, with co-production by Mem Ferda of Filmcore.
