With Steamboat Willie now being in the public domain, no doubt we're about to see a lot more of it. One of the first is Victorian Clambake's game The Caribbean Sail which added Steamboat Willie as a playable character. So what actually is The Caribbean Sail? You can read a little more from when contributor BTRE took a look back in 2018.
"Have you ever wanted to be a cartoon mouse pirate? Then have I got news for YOU! After 95 years since first stepping onto the world stage, Steamboat Willie is now a playable character in the Caribbean Sail!"

Not possible, it's already in the public domain.

(That said, these days I think they use the mouse almost entirely as a trademark, which is still totally intact. But still)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIn your face, Three-Circle Empire!They do, but it doesn't impact usage of the public domain character as much as popular opinion might have led you to believe. Center for the Study of the Public Domain has a great write-up on Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse, the copyrights and the trademarks and what you can do with him: https://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/mickey/

Fair warning that this is only interesting to a vanishingly small audience.

It's funny how the workers at Disney World were calling it Mousewitz, then asshole management caught on and pitched a bitch. So they then started calling it Duckhau instead. Considering who Walt Disney actually was, it's fitting.
I also love how the US enforces its copyright laws with an iron fist with shit here, but then when another country files a legit complaint about a US or US-backed company breaking said copyright laws, they do as little as possible or nothing at all. I'm looking at you Bacardi, you crooks.

From what I've heard they have now bought up so many companies and franchises that their cartoon side is now a fraction of their income and that is why they didn't fought to extent copyright this time, basically Micky is worthless to them. As a fun side note Mickey was never big over here and instead Donald was the big Disney character (and we have a Donald special on Christmas Eve every year).
