Mickey Mouse has (sort of) entered the public domain. The classic version of the mouse that appears in 'Steamboat Willie' is officially free to use.

Hello frens,

As a great opponent of any form of IP, I have been following the event of Disney’s Steamboat Willie entering the public domain with great amusement. The incidents where creators have been falsely demonetized on youtube for rightfully using this film is further underpinned by Disney’s decades-long shameless practices. The linked article sums it up quite well I think.
