Some classic cartoons like early Mickey Mouse shorts and some Fleischer Studios works might be in the public domain. But it can vary depending on specific copyright laws and dates of creation.
Well, public domain fiction is a great resource. It includes many classic novels and stories. For example, works by authors like Shakespeare are in the public domain. Since the rights are no longer restricted, it allows for new adaptations, like modern film versions of old plays or new editions of classic novels with different interpretations. It also enables educators to use these works freely in teaching materials.
Timely Comics isn't in the public domain. Their characters and stories have ongoing copyright protection. This means you can't use them freely without permission.
Not all Lovecraft stories are in the public domain. The determination depends on factors like the year of publication and whether copyright was renewed. It's best to research each story individually to know for sure.
