Poor Little Rich Girl

The film Poor Little Rich Girl, starring Shirley Temple, was released on July 24, 1936. Under the Copyright Act of 1909, works from this era required a copyright registration and a subsequent renewal in their 28th year to maintain protection. The film was originally registered by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. on July 24, 1936, under registration number LP6606. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries confirms that the copyright was successfully renewed. The renewal registration (R336181) was filed by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. on April 15, 1964. Because the renewal was filed correctly during the 28th year of the original term, the copyright was extended. Under the 1976 Copyright Act and the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, works renewed prior to 1978 received a total term of 95 years from the date of publication. Consequently, the film will remain under copyright protection in the United States until January 1, 2032. The film is currently actively managed and distributed by The Walt Disney Company following its acquisition of 21st Century Fox.
