To be fair, the original A.A. Milne Pooh did actually wear a red sleeveless vest that is held together by a single button, but he only wore it in the winter, when out in the snow. You see him wearing it in the third chapter of Winnie-the-Pooh, as well as the first chapter of the House at Pooh Corner. Disney basically just took the red sleeveless vest from the books, turned it into a red t-shirt, and just had him wear it all year round, indoors and outdoors.
The original illustrations by E.H Shepard were in black and white. Before Milne's death in 1961, he consented to the rights being used by a handful of people, including a man named Stephen Slesinger, and it was he who gave Pooh his iconic red shirt in the first-ever colour illustration of the characters on a 1932 vinyl cover. When adapting for film in 1966, Disney of course used the red shirt. In 1973, when a new edition of the original book with colour illustrations by E.H. Shepard, he also coloured the vest red, as you say. And yes, pretty sure that design is still copyrighted by Disney although technically they didn't create it.
@@robbiewalker2831 it would be a trademark not a copyright. So Pooh in that specific red shirt would be out, but a lot could still be out depending on what trademarks disney still has over Pooh
honestly if Winnie the pooh wears the seven universe shirt it would be easier to recognize while at the same time not leading to Disney showing their copyright wrath'
Finally, we got Winnie the pooh in the public domain! It's also a great opportunity for other studios like Warner Brothers to make their own version of the character! I wondering, what other studios versions of Winnie the pooh is going to be great?
I'm not so sure we are going to see other movie studios releasing movies about the Pooh for a long time. The reason is that Disney has trademarked this character in all kinds of ways, and trademarks don't expire as long as they are being actively used. I checked a trademark registration database and discovered that Disney has even obtained trademarks for "Winnie the Pooh" which cover "motion picture films in the nature of adventure and comedy" and "computer game programs and computer software, featuring children's educational software, music and stories." That is going to make it really difficult for anyone other than Disney to release their own commercial movies, games or merchandise featuring the Pooh.
Although Winnie the Pooh is now a public domain, it is still remembered that the trademark of Winnie the Pooh still belongs to Disney, which once acquired the rights to Pooh in the 1960s and in every year they renewed those rights. In other words, even though Winnie the Pooh could now be used freely, only in theory, it is still controlled by a giant company who fears that its trademark and one income source will be threatened.
It baffles me with how they keep the current version with alot of that copyright extensions, which I kind of see as a weird way to market your company but if it's disney, then it's disney lol.

@@hugoumero9723 why dose Disney still own the rights to there version of winne the pooth they reterd that chritcter with the live action remake and the 2011 animated film why do they want to keep it
@@matthewvalente5877 it’s because Disney is not bankrupt and probably wants to keep that version of the character in case they want to use him in the future
ACTUALLY, fun fact, there is one illustration in A. A. Milne's book of Pooh wearing the red shirt, meaning the red shirt is also part of A. A. Milne's version of Pooh and not exclusive to the Disney version. Also, wonder how many people know that Pooh's real name is actually Edward Bear.
Well technically we'd have to wait for that specific book that had that specific illustration to go into the public domain, and we'd need to make sure we were drawing it based on that drawing and not the Disney one
@@SourBoy Yep, that colour edition of the book didn't come out until after the first Pooh Disney film. Though the red shirt Pooh first popped up in merchandise in 1932, before Disney owned the rights, we'd either still have to wait for that to become public domain or it's likely that Disney already owns the very concept of Pooh wearing a red shirt nonetheless because it's so ridiculously iconic. Just by seeing the colours yellow, red, yellow, almost anyone would equate it with Winnie the Pooh :)
To say that this is big news would be a MASSIVE understatement; I didn't think any of us would live to see the day where Pooh would enter the public domain, but I guess anything's possible in this day and age. Remember folks, it's the original version of Pooh that's now free to use, NOT Disney's version. Just don't give him the iconic red shirt and you should be fine.
That's one thing that I find particularly interesting; the idea that the "red shirt Pooh" can be claimed by Disney but not the classic pre-Disney era one. I'd imagine that Disney's argument in claiming ownership over "red shirt Pooh" would naturally have to center around the fact that it's a derivative work of the original, so why wouldn't the public be allowed to use a character that's a reiteration of one that's in the public domain? If I make a Winnie the Pooh cartoon where he's wearing a top hat and a eye monocle, could I sue people if they try to make money off of this Winnie the Pooh caricature I invented?
@@UndertakerU2ber I feel like it's Disney propaganda by the lawyers. They just gonna convince that Disney will win the court case. They don't actually have to win. That's enough to make suppress competitors.
A reminder that the original design of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is also soon to be public domain. Also, one of Disney’s lesser known characters, Julius the Cat, is public domain since the first short will be 100 years old this year.
True. Many people forget or aren't aware of Oswald's significance, but if it weren't for him, Mickey Mouse probably wouldn't exist as it was when Disney lost the rights to Oswald to Universal, that that was what forced and inspired him to create Mickey Mouse in the first place!
@@silverdamascus2023 Disney created Mickey. Disney makes lots of money with Mickey being one of if not the most iconic cartoon mascot in the world. Seeing THE Mickey Mouse being owned by everyone is very very unlikely no matter what the USA copyright law says.
He still is theirs.. They own everything winnie the pooh from 1926 onwards... The only book that has entered the public domain is part 1 of 2 as Part 2 was released in 1928 and introduced Tiger... Disney still own everything and all rights to the character from 1926 onwards...
Very interesting news and a nice way to start 2022. I actually heard about this yesterday from a TH-cam ad, so cool to hear more about it :) The same ad played right after this video lol
Just be sure to do your research to see which characters are from the book, and which are original characters by Disney. As Gopher himself said: " I'm not in the book!".

An odd thing I'm still wondering about, is when a cartoon enters the public domain, yet stars a character whose copyright is still actively being refreshed and updated, like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Woody Woodpecker, Mickey Mouse, Popeye, etc. Obviously the cartoon itself would be in the public domain, but if it were used in a major way (like that brief clip of "Bimbo's Initiation" in The Wrath of the Spider Queen), would there be legal trouble regarding the still-apparent presence of a character whose copyright hasn't yet expired?
From what I understand the cartoon itself would be put in a state where it can be distributed by the public but you can’t make money off of it as it contains copyrighted characters
@@FinnManusia Mickey Mouse won’t really enter the public domain, not the one with red shorts, you still have to get through trademark and everything, you can make a Mouse with a black and white color scheme and make him be the captain of a steamboat and be bullied by a cat-like creature, but you can’t call him Mickey Mouse. It’s also like how Oswald has been in the public the main since the ’50s, but you can’t make a character that’s a rabbit with blue shorts and call him “the Lucky rabbit”. All this legal mumbo-jumbo also lead to “the great Gatsby” being in the public domain 20 years later than when it should have been originally.
I think (please correct me if I am wrong) Mickey Mouse goes into public domain in a couple of years but, like with Winnie the Pooh, only extends to his original design as seen in Steamboat Willie.
@@magicwindow6682 they ain't getting an extension and they know it. Republicans and Democrats bipartisan hate them now. Their only hope was the Republican Party, and they stabbed the party in the back.

I had to give a presentation in my media law class last year about copyright infringement, and I added the situation with "Winnie-the-Pooh". I obviously added the "Blood and Honey" part of the entire situation as an example to to what happens for when copyright expired, but I also added that the Disney Pooh had a copyright of his own, so I was like, "if you want to use Winnie-the-Pooh for something, don't give him a red shirt!"
Si if we use the book version, are the other characters like Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Christopher Robin ect owned by the public domain too? Also does this mean we can switch things like Pooh wearing a blue or green shirt instead of red, or no? Someone please let me know
all the characters from the first book are free. i don't know if piglet, tiger etc. are there basically disney only owns the red shirt version of Pooh now. any other version is free. if you come up with a new version of Pooh, you own that version, the same way disney owns the red shirt version.
@@aresgood1 Pooh wearing the red shirt did actually appear briefly in A. A Milne's version too though, before Disney, though I think it was only in one picture. Can't remember if it was in the first or second book though.

Along with not being able to use Pooh’s “red shirt” design, you also won’t be able to do things like re-upload the cartoons with him in it as those are also owned by Disney.
Ok so when I was young, about 6 or 7, I had this game idea for the ultimate game crossover. It was a Mario 64 collectathon with the first world being the Hundred Arce Woods. Don't remember a lot of the idea but my brother hated the concept because well it wasn't original. So today, when I learned about this, I went to me brother and him about this. Overall it's like a dream come true I didn't know I wanted nor thought about for over 13 I think.
But hey! They did 2 crossovers with Mario and The Raving Rabbids, so I suppose I could happen one day if Nintendo is even interested in doing it. It's up to them.
Yeah, I remember, but it wasn't until the 20 year copyright extension had already become law in 1998 that I first heard about it. That was before social media existed, so there wasn't much ability at the time to organize any kind of online campaign. Back then, the main resistance to the copyright extension bill came from people like academics and librarians, because the general public was not looped in to what was happening in Congress and they didn't find out until media outlets finally said something _after_ it was already law. At least this time if Disney tries to push another copyright extension, social media could be used to organize protests and a letter writing campaign to our politicians long before any proposed extension can become law.
I remember when I was a toddler I really liked Winnie the Pooh and go to the ride at Disneyland. I like how the original Winnie the Pooh is now in public domain. However, the Disney variation isn’t, since that version is trademarked not copyrighted. The original one didn’t wear a red shirt.
And before him, next year, we'll get his predecessor, Oswald The Lucky Rabbit, who first was created and appeared in 1927 since all works from that year will enter the public domain in 2023!
Pooh is my childhood. My dad used to read his copies of the Pooh stories to me and my sister. Plus I loved the Disney shows about Pooh. and I saw some of the Pooh films.
Imagine if they make a movie of Winnie the Pooh kicking producers ass fighting defense in the public domain by turning their characters into horror movies
*Gasps* omg I don't want people to make edgy, and scary parodies of Winnie The Pooh and his friends! because they're so nice, friendly That would make me cringe, and ruin my childhood but I respect your opinion if you like Edgelords or whatever their names are something to do that
You'll have to wait till 2024 to use Tigger as he did appear in the original Winnie The Pooh book, but in another one in 1928, which will lose its copyright in 2024.
Winnie the Pooh has been my most purest form of childhood entertainment since I first got its DVD at the age of 6, and I still love it to this day. There’s no hidden meaning, no adult humor, no political or overbearing reality checks. It’s just about the wholesome adventures of a clumsy yellow bear and his adorable friends.

Yay! I can cuddle, and hug my own Winnie the Pooh Character! that's awesome, and very cute 🥰 and make honey like a buzzy bee or something! 🙂🐻
Yeah! I'm as happy about this as you are!
finally I can reimagine it as a gritty action series with mech battles
I’m not sure if I should be surprised the first project I hear about taking advantage of this is a Winnie the Pooh horror movie
Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman are also entering public domain in the coming decades.
1:19 whoever drew those images, that just made my day!
oh hell yeah, time to make my own Winnie the Pooh
Now I have the ultimate Power.
I think I know exactly what the Pooh’s Adventures group is going to do now…
1:20
okay, the Dracula crossover is adorable
Plot twist: the book got sued by the heffalunos and woozles that kidnapped Pooh’s honey
Now it's just to wait for lady the magical engine to be public domain later on.
That won't become public domain until 2095
*"Reality can be whatever I want it to be."*
I literally had a blank black screen for an ad.
Remember when Mickey Mouse was NEARLY in the public domain? me too.
And he'll try to reach it again in 2024
Yeah, I remember, but it wasn't until the 20 year copyright extension had already become law in 1998 that I first heard about it. That was before social media existed, so there wasn't much ability at the time to organize any kind of online campaign. Back then, the main resistance to the copyright extension bill came from people like academics and librarians, because the general public was not looped in to what was happening in Congress and they didn't find out until media outlets finally said something _after_ it was already law. At least this time if Disney tries to push another copyright extension, social media could be used to organize protests and a letter writing campaign to our politicians long before any proposed extension can become law.
Also about Pooh, I'll design him but much different from Disney, I might redesign the characters too.
I remember when I was a toddler I really liked Winnie the Pooh and go to the ride at Disneyland. I like how the original Winnie the Pooh is now in public domain. However, the Disney variation isn’t, since that version is trademarked not copyrighted. The original one didn’t wear a red shirt.
Victor Damázio true
Me reading the title yay no more copyright claim for Winnie the pooh
Same.
"You know the rights to winnie the pooh"
The entire internet: its free real estate 😏
In 2065, we will all own Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster.
Finally, now I can compare the current chinese president with Winnie The Pooh without having a copyright version.
You own Winnie the Pooh…
I shall turn him into king kong
Winnie The Kong!
Wait no I should turn him into Winnie wars: the last Jed bear
Soon it will be Mickey’s turn to enter public domain one or two years from now
And before him, next year, we'll get his predecessor, Oswald The Lucky Rabbit, who first was created and appeared in 1927 since all works from that year will enter the public domain in 2023!
The real Edward Bear is now 100 years old. Let that sink in.
This feels so wholesome to me and I don't even know why
Nothing can stop Disney's version of the character
Does it mean that in 2073 we will get the Disney version of Winnie The Pooh or they will be able to hold the rights?
2:42 As a writer, don't tempt me.....
This finally gives me hope that one day as an indie developer I'll be able to make a game starring Tigger my favorite character!!!
Tigger is not in the public domain, because he was introduced 2 years after the original book.
@@rapidlyvids i know
Pooh is my childhood. My dad used to read his copies of the Pooh stories to me and my sister. Plus I loved the Disney shows about Pooh. and I saw some of the Pooh films.
tigger is still not public domain
The horror sequel comes at Fall 2024.
ironically, I’m building Winnie the Pooh lego and then I stumbling on to this.
Starting January 1, Tigger copyright is ded.
Imagine if they make a movie of Winnie the Pooh kicking producers ass fighting defense in the public domain by turning their characters into horror movies
Finally some good news!!
I'm going to make a story where Winnie the pooh snorts cocaine and then fights King Kong And then cooks piglet
Now people can make Winnie the Pooh the edgiest of edge lords and get away with it.
P*glet, you're a good friend. You gave me yummy, scrumptious honey when no one else would. Don't come to Chr*stopher R*bin's house tomorrow.
*Gasps* omg I don't want people to make edgy, and scary parodies of Winnie The Pooh and his friends! because they're so nice, friendly That would make me cringe, and ruin my childhood but I respect your opinion if you like Edgelords or whatever their names are something to do that
Look up Dirty the Pooh
@@famoussession7426 no
Oh crap
We need a Winnie the Pooh-Minecraft Mini Series crossover
I can't wait to have my on version of Winnie the Pooh an episode of my cartoon! He's gonna be Beavo's imaginary friend...😎
💀
"The return of Winnie the pooh"
Jim Cummings as Winnie the pooh and tigger
Tom Kenny as rabbit
Sam Elliott as eeyore
You'll have to wait till 2024 to use Tigger as he did appear in the original Winnie The Pooh book, but in another one in 1928, which will lose its copyright in 2024.
Winnie the Pooh has been my most purest form of childhood entertainment since I first got its DVD at the age of 6, and I still love it to this day. There’s no hidden meaning, no adult humor, no political or overbearing reality checks. It’s just about the wholesome adventures of a clumsy yellow bear and his adorable friends.
I was introduced by The Tigger Movie at age 5 back in 2000. I remember seeing it in the theatre and I still have the VHS.
Oh no...illumination is gonna have a field day
Let's just wait until Mickey falls into the public domain, then we make a lot of parodies towards Disney. 😈
They would deserve it for being greedy!
i can't wait until Donald Duck becomes public domain in 2030.
I have always known the Disney Pooh bear which is a big part of my childhood
Pooh's Adventures can now become real as long as Pooh doesn't have the red shirt
And also as long tigger won't appear until two years later
@@earvinslotsofthingsofficial We'll just change his name to Ligger.
Disney: Yeah, enjoy THAT while it lasts… (Maniacal Laugh)
Disney didn’t ruin the copyright system this time? Wow
They'll probably do that in 2024 when Mickey is gonna enter the public domain
Luckily for us, there's much more opposition to extending the copyright again than there was back in 1998, largely due to the internet.
Even Google is against it. Remember when they briefly had their logo censored online to protest the controversial Sopa Act and Protect IP Act?
I now own Winnie the Pooh now. Everyone owns Winnie the Pooh now.
