Well, if the author was a human people, it's 70 years past its death.
If a company, it's 95 years after publication or 120 years after
creation (but unpublished..)... In the USA.
other countries have different rules, and might have different
calculation and duration (e.g. the Bern convention only requires 50
years past the death of the author, or 50 years since creations for
cinema, 25 years for photo).
So, even if Mickey Mouse is not public domain worldwide, it might be
already free of use in some countries. Just be cautious with the borders
you might cross.
The real shame with MM, is that the Oswald's case was the root of the
story. Next time, let the rabbit to the drawing man!
