A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh is one of the works that are “now “free for all to copy, share, and build upon,” according to Duke’s Center for the Study of the Public Domain. Also entering the public domain is Bambi.

“Disney still retains copyright over its newer works and adaptations (and, as Jenkins points out, Disney holds brand trademarks as well). But the public is now free to reprint the original book, adapt it into a play or film, write a sequel, or use the appearance and traits of any of its characters, according to Jenkins.”
