Note
InfoField
  • Jayvee Enaguas (HarvettFox96) reviewed the copyright for the animated short film on November 15, 2021, which includes most materials and elements.
    • At the opening card sequence, it has a copyright notice that reads “Copyright MCMXXXVIII by The Vitaphone Corp. All rights reserved.”
    • Vitaphone filed a registration entry of the animated short film in the original print on December 30, 1939.
    • United Artists (a latter of which acquired Associated Artists Productions library containing pre-August 1948 titles in 1958) didn’t file a renewal entry of the animated short film for the original copyright within a required 28-year period throughout 1966 (1, 2) and 1967 (1, 2)
    • Therefore, the animated short film entered the public domain on the first day of January 1968.
  • The first and (current) second Blue Ribbon reissue print altered opening and closing card sequences and removed the title card sequence from the original print.
  • The animated short film is freely available and distributable in both physical and digital formats.
