Why did Disney lose the rights to Steamboat Willie

[edit]

Hi. I was wondering why Disney lost the rights to the Steamboat Willie cartoon last year. Please let me know. Thanks. 2605:B100:142:A3B7:1D63:4EBE:694C:7BCA (talk) 04:17, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because its copyright had expired, as noted in the article. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots04:52, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The only right Disney lost was to forbid others to make use of it. —Tamfang (talk) 23:45, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
