This historic short is now in the public domain in the United States. Of course, only this version of Mickey Mouse is in the public domain. I call him Mickey Mouse version 1.0. He doesn't have gloves in this short, and he doesn't talk, just some whistling and funny sounds.
If you're making a horror movie with Mickey Mouse in it, you got to use this specific version of Mickey Mouse, and his girlfriend, Minnie Mouse, as depicted in this short.
It's still blocked in some territories, only 7, due to copyright laws over in those other territories, but in the United States, Mickey Mouse 1.0 is now ours!
Welcome to the public domain, Mickey Mouse!
