Alice the Toreador

Under the current copyright laws of the United States, all works published or registered before January 1, 1929, have entered the public domain. This film, part of Walt Disney's 'Alice Comedies' series, was released on January 15, 1925. Because it was published prior to the 1929 cutoff, its copyright has expired regardless of whether it was originally registered or renewed. Even if the specific 1929 rule did not apply, most films of this era required a manual renewal in their 28th year. While many Disney shorts were meticulously renewed, the absolute expiration of pre-1929 materials ensures this work is now in the public domain. It is widely available on public domain archives and historical collections without restriction.
