Alice in the Jungle
1925 · Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio · Dir. Walt Disney
Alice and Julius the cat are riding an elephant through the jungle. Julius falls and is nearly eaten by crocodiles but manages to escape nevertheless. Meanwhile, two elephant children are having fun at a watering hole and a monkey barber has his barber pole eaten by a hippo, who mistakes it for a candy cane. Julius tries to remedy the latter injustice by starching up a tiger's striped tail and knocking it off, using it as a replacement pole. Alice hunts a lion who proves to be too much for her to handle, but Julius bravely comes to the rescue.

Why this status applies
Under the current laws of the United States, all works published before January 1, 1929, have entered the public domain. This film, part of the 'Alice Comedies' series produced by Walt Disney and distributed by Margaret J. Winkler, was released on December 15, 1925.
Because the film was published more than 95 years ago (specifically pre-1929), its copyright protection has expired by operation of law. No renewal search is necessary for works from this era as they have reached the maximum statutory term of protection.
