Leavemywife posted:It just kinda hit me the other day, but I realized that we're probably going to see remakes of the Harry Potter movies in our lifetimes. We'll also see the copyright on Mickey Mouse run out, which is also weird. But I think that's only classic Mickey, not any modern version. I'm not sure how that works. Just lol if you haven't drunk yourself to death before then.

The actual shorts might become public domain (very unlikely) but Mickey Mouse as a character never will.

The mouse is an entity that has far outlived his creator and is vastly more powerful.

Disney will extend copyright until the heat death of the universe while slowly absorbing all intellectual property.

I definitely think Disney is going to do everything in their power to do this and especially hold on to the mouse, but I also think the reason they're buying up every franchise in existence is because they understand there's a very good chance they're going to lose Mickey and all of Walt's creations fairly soon. I think we're going to see them moving further away from using Mickey as their main branding, even if they hold on to the 3 circles from his silhouette as a trademark.

Hyperlynx posted:"The Road To El Dorado" and "The Emperor's New Groove" are two separate movies I used to have this confusion with Treasure Planet, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, and Titan A.E. Turns out there were at least three mediocre-looking early-'00s animated sci-fi films I had no interest in seeing.

I think we're going to see them moving further away from using Mickey as their main branding, even if they hold on to the 3 circles from his silhouette as a trademark. Or they let the copyright go and argue the trademark (which lasts forever as long as they keep using it) lets them still block anyone else from selling anything with Mickey on it or making any new cartoons. Letting people make copies of Steamboat Willie won't impact their bottom line, losing out on the little kid backpack market will.

That was me and 'segue'. In my mind it was pronounced 'seeg' and was a synonym for the then non-existent 'segway'.

I'm not a native speaker and I almost never speak English in real life, so I'm sure there's a bunch of words that I'm completely (mentally) mispronouncing because I've only ever seen them in print.
