Popeye Public Domain 2025 Calendar. The original popeye and tintin characters will enter the public domain when their copyright expires next week, along with thousands of other comics, books, songs and films. Popeye the sailor and the belgian boy reporter tintin lead the class of characters and works of art becoming public domain in 2025.
Similarly, the original steamboat willie version of mickey mouse arrived in the public domain with much fanfare in 2024. Popeye’s first (comic book) iteration will make a resurgence once it enters the public domain in 2025, as do most things that enter the public domain that were popular and still well known.
