Why is he saying the mouse is now free of the corporation? Is it because it's been decades since they released a movie or story with the character other than Kingdom Hearts so it's become public domain? If so, then this would be the first I hear of something like this.
I read somewhere that Steamboat Willie, and that particular depiction of Mickey, has become public domain.
The accompanying theory was that Disney has lost so much money pushing audience-alienating woke agendas, they no longer have enough on the books to do their habitual lobbying to further extend copyright law.
I don't know how true that is, but it seems plausible.

Steamboat Willie (the very first Mickey cartoon) went public domain on Jan 1st
Oh, people could have a lot of fun with this one.
They are. Twitter full of racist Steamboat Willie cartoons, and it's glorious.
