The characters from Milne and Shepard’s 1926 “Winnie-the-Pooh” book -- including Pooh, Christopher Robin, Owl, Eeyore, Rabbit Kanga and Roo -- entered the public domain on Jan. 1 after 95 years of copyright protection. Bouncing tiger Tigger, who made his debut in the 1928 book "The House on Pooh Corner", will jump into the public domain when the character's copyright expires Jan. 1, 2024.
Walt Disney's character Mickey Mouse, as depicted in his 1928 short cartoon "Steamboat Willie", will enter the public domain on Jan. 1, 2024.
But these copyright expirations don't necessarily mean it's open season on all Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh knockoffs. Disney still holds the rights to subsequent depictions of Mickey Mouse and all of its versions of the Winnie the Pooh characters, since those specific copyrights have not expired.

Disney Removes 'Ladies & Gentleman, Boys & Girls' From Welcome as Part of Inclusivity Push
Fireworks returned to the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort on Thursday night, but what did not return was the familiar phrase "Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls" from the pre-show announcement. A Disney spokesperson confirmed with Newsweek on Friday that the line was removed as part of the company's ongoing effort to promote diversity at its parks.
Fans posted clips of the new greeting on social media, which now states, "Good evening, dreamers of all ages."

Amazing shit. Well, I'm proud of DeSantis. He's also calling an emergency session of the Legislature next month to fix the ridiculous cowardly redistricting the House came up with that only has R+2/R+1 with his own redistricting plan.

Yes (come 2024), but only in their Steamboat Willie incarnations.
I imagine Disney might come after anyone who does a non- B&W version of Mickey or Minnie...

But behind its meticulously curated self-image, Disney has had a long-standing problem with child predators gaining employment within the company and exploiting minors. In 2014, reporters at CNN published a bombshell six-month investigation that discovered at least 35 Disney employees had been arrested for sex crimes against children, attempting to meet minors for sex, and possession of child pornography over the previous eight years.

Disney's Pedo Employee Problem:
But behind its meticulously curated self-image, Disney has had a long-standing problem with child predators gaining employment within the company and exploiting minors. In 2014, reporters at CNN published a bombshell six-month investigation that discovered at least 35 Disney employees had been arrested for sex crimes against children, attempting to meet minors for sex, and possession of child pornography over the previous eight years.
The stories are horrifying. In one case, police set up a sting operation that nabbed three Disney employees who believed they were soliciting sex from minors. Robert Kingsolver, who oversaw ride repairs at Disney World, enticed someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl for sex in a private residence. Joel Torres, another Disney employee, allegedly brought condoms with him to have sex with a 14-year-old child. And Allen Treaster, a concierge at the park’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, went to meet a 14-year-old boy to “fulfill a fantasy” of being a “Big Teddy Bear for younger chaser.” In all three cases, the men were met and then arrested by police, who had set up the trap to catch child predators in the Orlando region. Kingsolver denied the charges; Treaster admitted that he had molested a 15-year-old boy a few weeks prior to his arrest.
Other Disney employees were found to have committed child sex crimes using the Internet. According to police and court records, custodial manager Cedric Cuthbert was caught downloading child porn on a Disney work computer, giftshop employee Paul Fazio was convicted for downloading “multiple scenes of nude prepubescent children engaging in sexual activity with adults,” and security guard William Marrero-Maldonado was charged with seven counts of promoting videos and photographs of the “sexual performance of a child.”

Unfortunately, Disney is doubling down on “gay” in its own content, as newly leaked videos reveal. The UK’s Daily Mail reports, “A Disney executive in charge of content vowed to up the ante on gender politics during an all-hands meeting, promising that at least half of the characters in its productions will be LGBTQIA or from racial minorities by the end of the year.” That executive is general entertainment president Karey Burke, who said, “I’m here as the mother of two queer children, actually, one transgender child and one pansexual child, and also as a leader.”
Her poor children.
Burke is far from alone. “Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my not-so-secret gay agenda,” said Latoya Raveneau, executive producer for Disney Television Animation. “Wherever I could I was adding queerness. No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.” Among her show credits are “Rise Up, Sing Out” and “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder.”

This is good and bad.
The original AA MIlne books are masterpieces, although it destroyed the life of Christopher Robin who was Milne's actual son.
I'd recommend them for small children. The books are meant to be read to the children, not read by the children.
Milne produced later books as his child grew up, by they are scarcely as masterful.

I also liked Tex Avery and Merry Melodies. Disney and Hannah Barbara were beneath those cartoons. I liked the Disney feature films, especially during Walt's time, but their animated shorts always seemed too contrite, like they were made to stroke the egos of the animators than tell a short humorous story. Often the Animators were part of the animation. Or the shorts were made as an advertisement for their brand between feature films. A Donald Duck short, with Donald Duck being Donald Duck, doing Donald Duck shit, talking like Donald Duck. But then after it was over, it was like "what just happened?" Then the next one would be Goofy and Pluto, no real story, just a showcase. Then after Walt, they tried to hard to connect with the times in the 80's and 90's. Good cartoons shouldn't be dated. I mean Tom and Jerry are set in the 40's and 50's but feel like they could have been animated anytime. But Scrooge McDuck wearing board shorts, and dancing to hiphop has the late 80's written in every cell.

I'm an archivist. I'm slowly collecting everything from 1970 and before.
1970 is when it went full commercial. The original Looney Toons shorts were shorts shown before the main feature. They were not directed for television but for movie goers. Some of the stuff that we saw as kids on television, my grandparents saw when they were young adults in a theater.
There was some great artistry and clever story telling. I need to see if I have collected them all - I go through some lengths getting high quality copies. One thing is that current compression technologies are NOT adapted for hand drawn cartoons and that's becoming a thing of the past anyhow.
I'd say from the mid 1960's onward, it's been a clear progression of manipulation and formula but I'd say Bambi was a very manipulative film. The book apparently is quite a bit different, where the hunters are just regarded as a sort of god. One of the subplots of the book is one fawn is saved by a hunter after he kills the mother. He raises the fawn to an adult and releases it to the wild when it reached adult hood. This deer doesn't distinguish between different men and approaches one, only to be immediately killed.
The source material is a lot more adult. You can see how society has changed by reading and digesting older material.
