Disney Is Getting Sued Over Just How Much Mickey Mouse Counts as Public Domain

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-10-03 17:45:19

Last year, Mickey Mouse’s appearance in Steamboat Willie became public domain, ushering in tons of horror parodies of Disney’s iconic mascot. The Walt Disney Company gave films such as the David Howard Thornton-starring Screamboat a pass, but apparently, it thinks there’s a limit on just how much other companies can get away with using Mickey’s iconic nautical depiction. Disney has found itself in lawsuits after enforcing its intellectual property rights to its characters in Steamboat Willie ag

Google pulls the Pixel 10’s Daily Hub to ‘enhance its performance’

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-10-30 22:50:45

If voice translation is halfway between a helpful feature and a gimmick, then Daily Hub leans even further into gimmick territory.

The Drifter is a good old-fashioned thriller

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Point-and-click adventure games often tell silly, lighthearted stories. For me, the mishaps of the pirate Guybrush Threepwood in the Monkey Island series come to mind. The nature of the genre — wandering around, talking to people, and trying to solve puzzles — lends itself well to humor, as every interaction with a person or object offers an opportunity for a joke.

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. James Gunn knows that most people are familiar with Superman’s origin story, which is why DC Studios’ new feature about the Man of Steel opens at a point when he has already become a world famous superhero. Instead of rehashing the tragic beats of Krypton’s destruction, the movie is punctuated with moments that show you how deeply Sup

Marvel at the Ships, Suits, and Tech of Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-11 10:15:53

So how, exactly, do you make a new human? No, sicko. We don’t mean that. We mean in the context of Bong Joon Ho’s latest, Mickey 17. In the film, Robert Pattinson plays Mickey, a human “expendable” who is brought back to life, over and over, after he dies. How does that work? A new book shows you, in more ways than one. Mickey is brought back to life via a human printer, which is exactly what it sounds like. A giant printer that, instead of pieces of paper, prints out humans. It’s one of severa
