While copyright on "The Mad Doctor" (1933) wasn't renewed, this particular frame (i.e. Mickey Mouse) is a derivative work from "Steamboat Willie" (1928) which is still under copyright. See also large article in LA Times: [1]. --Trycatch (talk) 20:01, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not sure, the particular frame (Mickey's head) doesn't appear in the restored edition of Steamboat Willie which can be seen here -and neither in the other 1920ies short films like "Plane Crazy"-. Previous films from the thierties have other similar frame (but different) which is this, another version. --Coentor (talk) 19:00, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- Any depiction of Mickey Mouse is copyrighted as derivative work from copyrighted Steamboat Willie. It doesn't matter that this depiction is not exactly the same as earlier ones, it's still derivative work. Trycatch (talk) 20:24, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- OK. Still, while the entire movie is in PD, could the full movie -not a clip despicting the caracter- be uploaded to commons? --Coentor (talk) 11:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- Entire movie is not in PD, it's just a mistake by folks from Internet Archive -- seems to be they have found that the copyright on the movie wasn't renewed, and then declared that this movie in PD because of this. It's not true, if the work was based on some previous work which is still copyrighted. See w:Wikipedia:Public domain#Movies and [2] for some discussion on the topic.

- Uf. That's makes us very hard to get PD material of cartoon characters. Then the only thing We could use are the intertitles and one-shoot characters of those films? --Coentor (talk) 14:09, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
