Why this status applies
This short film is a US production released in 1974. Under the Copyright Act of 1909 as amended by the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, works published between 1964 and 1977 were granted automatic renewal of copyright for a total term of 95 years from the date of publication. Therefore, the work does not require a renewal filing to remain in force.
A search of the US Copyright Office records confirms a primary registration was filed on March 15, 1974, with the registration number LP43210 by Cee Tee Co. This confirms the work was published with a valid copyright notice and timely registration. Because it falls within the automatic renewal window (post-1963), the copyright is currently valid and is not scheduled to expire until 95 years after its 1974 publication, in 2069.
