    Yes

    Still no, because the timer started with the first release of the first product.

    Yes, but now there are 2 versions of Genie with two different copywrite timelines. Both are still currently protected. (I will admit I haven’t looked up if Genie is a registered trademark; still talking about copywrite here.)

    Yes, but the Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse character isn’t the same as the registered trademark of Mickey Mouse…but

    Yes, Disney is totally working on that

    Yes, this article supports this.

    That’s not how that works. 1. Aladdin isn’t an original Disney story. Like Cinderella, it’s an old story and anyone can make a version of it. 2. The timer on the animated film can’t be reset. It’s running and will continue to run. Steamboat Willie is the prime example of this. That version of Mickey is now in public domain, but later versions are not.

    The jiggly argument is about not all parts moving at once or in one direction. If you jiggled to the right by taking one 18 inch step to the right, sticking your left arm straight left, waiving your right arm in a complete circle, holding your left foot 3 inches off the ground, and squatting down 10 inches how far have “you” moved?
