I had to search and do some reading on that copyright situation... it’s fascinating, I had no idea this was officially public domain! Seems like a strange “grandfathered in” loophole, as most mediums and art didn’t seem to have similar specifications, and now copyright is granted inherently to authors of a work.
This movie is also one of the few that the creator can work with without asking, or paying, a studio for permission to do so. There is a silver lining here.
