Patent Insider Startup’s Post

🗓️ Big IP news in 2024 for The Walt Disney Company. In a major shift, an early 1928 Walt Disney film, including Mickey Mouse's debut in "Steamboat Willie," enters the public domain on Jan. 1, 2024. 🎥 This vintage Mickey is notably mischievous and rough, reflecting roots in the era's blackface minstrel shows. 🎞️ Not the cuddly character we know today, Mickey orchestrates barnyard animals as involuntary musical instruments. 💥 Shockingly, a game company introduces "Mouse," a violent first-person shooter with characters inspired by the edgier Steamboat Willie animation. 🕹️ Does your IP Strategy account for your artwork entering the public domain? #PublicDomain #MickeyMouse #PatentInsiderSecrets #IntellectualProperty #ipstrategy

Every year seems to have its unexpected cinema savior, and the 2024 iteration seems to be Pixar Animation Studios's Inside Out 2. The film drove a massive surge of visits that surpassed the relatively quarterly impact of some of the biggest spring/early summer releases in recent years. Clearly, some of this is related to the relative downturn in visits YoY, but the excitement generated does speak to the potential for theatre chains to surprise - yet again - in 2024. What are your expectations for the theatre space in the second half of the year?

The Walt Disney Company is jumping for Joy. That’s because the studio’s emotion-laden “Inside Out 2” has surpassed “Frozen II” to stand as the highest-grossing animated film in history. After six weeks of release, “Inside Out 2” has generated $601 million domestically and $861 million internationally, bringing its global tally to a staggering $1.46 billion. “Frozen II” was bigger than the very successful original 2013 film and collected a mighty $1.45 billion during its theatrical run in 2019. (Disney’s 2019 remake of “The Lion King,” which earned a staggering $1.65 billion, is technically computer-generated, but the studio has categorized the movie as live-action. So, it doesn’t have a place on the list of top animated movies.)

"We decided to make our own original content, so we could have control of the script and make the content we wanted to make" I interviewed HaZ Dulull about how he created his animation studio, HaZimation. They make and direct their own films and games. Haz used Unreal Engine to make and pitch films, one of those films was picked up by Netflix, and he also directed a series on Disney +. He's now directing cinematics for the new Dune game. ▶️ Watch the full video podcast on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eDJzN5kD What did you think of this episode?

Took my exercise routine to the next level by adding animation to a rainy scene. Used Ultra Dynamic Sky to set the mood and changed materials to give props and landscapes a wet appearance. Then, with retargeting and mocap layering, brought it all to life!#unrealengine5 #cinematic #motioncapture #animation #lookdev #visualization https://lnkd.in/gRyXUjxv
