Betty Boop & Pluto enter public domain and can now be used in video games, movies, more

I was so excited to learn that some of the very first Betty Boop and Pluto cartoons are entering the public domain on January 1st, 2026! Basically, because those early versions were created back in 1930, the copyright protection is finally running out after 95 years. It’s going to be amazing to see what creative things people do with those classic characters now!
