With every new year comes new works that are set to go into the public domain. For 2025, the most notable include such Disney titles Silly Symphony brief skeleton dance and Mickey Mouse shorts such as “Carnival Kid”, his voice first. Any of this already sounds like a horror film – but Please, no more hard cash grabs. At least give us an arthouse indie skeleton dance.
Also being released into the public domain poppy And Tintin’s Early cartoons. Which hopefully means as they can be adapted and shared maybe we’ll see Genndy Tartakovsky stepped forward poppy With this possible loophole. (Of course, there already are Multiple Popeye slashers (By the way.) Interestingly, as far as horror-related music goes, “Tipto Through the Tulips” would also be public domain, which could be useful as a deceitful Spin-off concept.
