As always, the headline should be qualified with ‘… In the USA.’

Tintin the brave cub reporter — and his dog, Snowy — will enter the public domain in the U.S. well before they will in the European Union, where they are copyrighted until 2054. That’s because EU copyright terms extend 70 years past creators’ deaths, and Belgian cartoonist Hergé died in 1983.

How does that work anyway? Would any American public domain usages of the characters be banned from release in the EU?

Popeye vs Tintin vs Pooh

Actually that’s such a ridiculous concept I might watch it.

How the fuck did they readily have the pooh one made? Like, as soon as winnie the pooh became public domain - BAM! - shitty ass horror movie made of it. Then a sequel came what felt like a couple months later.

These movies may as well be made on a conveyor belt.
