Alpine Yodeler

Alpine Yodeler is a Rainbow Parade cartoon produced by Van Beuren Studios and released through RKO Radio Pictures in 1936. As a US production from the 1928–1963 era, it was required to have its copyright renewed in the 28th year following its registration to maintain protection. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) reveals no renewal registration for this specific title. While RKO renewed many of its features, the Van Beuren library (which was largely liquidated or sold to television syndicators like Official Films and Commonwealth) saw a high rate of renewal failure for short subjects. This film is widely documented in industry reference works, such as the Film Superlist (Hurst) and the Big Cartoon DataBase, as having fallen into the public domain due to non-renewal. Consequently, the work expired into the public domain in 1964.
