    Q: When does the copyright on the next version of Mickey Mouse expire? (Steamboat Willie has no gloves and is black and white, I expect that will be how Disney protects the more modern versions of Mickey.)

      There is apparently a 1928 poster of Mickey Mouse already with the white gloves, which, if verified, would place them in the public domain.
