Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp

This work is a Popeye the Sailor 'Color Special' produced by Fleischer Studios and released by Paramount Pictures on April 7, 1939. Under the Copyright Act of 1909, works from this era required a copyright renewal filing in the 28th year of their initial term to maintain protection. While the film was originally registered with the US Copyright Office (Registration No. LP8761), no renewal record was found in the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database or the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries for the 1966–1967 window. Because the copyright was not renewed, the film entered the public domain in the United States in 1967. This is consistent with its inclusion in numerous public domain film collections and its widespread availability on archive sites and through PD distributors like Alpha Video without copyright enforcement from the successor in interest (Paramount/King Features).
