2033 in public domain

The literature of Hermann Hesse will enter the public domain in Europe in 2033.

When a work's copyright expires, it enters the public domain. Since laws vary globally, the copyright status of some works are not uniform. The following is a list of creators whose works enter the public domain in 2033 under the most common copyright regimes, assuming no further extensions to copyright terms become law in the interim.

Countries with life + 70 years

Except for Belarus (Life + 50 years)[1] and Spain (which has a copyright term of Life + 80 years for creators that died before 1988), a work enters the public domain in Europe 70 years after the creator's death, if it was published during the creator's lifetime.[2][3] In addition, several other countries have a limit of 70 years. The list is sorted alphabetically and includes a notable work of the creator.

United States

Under the Copyright Term Extension Act, books published in 1937, films released in 1937, and other works published in 1937 will enter the public domain in 2033.[5] Sound recordings published in 1932 and unpublished works whose authors died in 1962 will also enter the public domain.

The most famous work to enter the U.S. public domain in 2033 is Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full-length animated feature produced in the United States. Other significant animated films entering the public domain this year include Disney's Mickey Mouse cartoons Clock Cleaners and Lonesome Ghosts as well as Donald Duck's and Pluto's first solo cartoons, the Silly Symphony short The Old Mill, and the Tex Avery cartoons Porky's Duck Hunt and Little Red Walking Hood, which respectively marked the debuts of Looney Tunes characters Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd.

Notable live-action films entering the public domain include Best Picture Academy Award winner The Life of Emile Zola starring Paul Muni, The Awful Truth with Irene Dunne and Cary Grant, Jean Renoir's film La Grande Illusion (the first foreign-language film nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award), Victor Fleming's adaptation of Captains Courageous with Freddie Bartholomew and Spencer Tracy, Sidney Franklin's The Good Earth with Muni and Luise Rainer, One Hundred Men and a Girl with Leopold Stokowski in one of his two film appearances, Frank Tuttle's Waikiki Wedding starring Bing Crosby and Shirley Ross, the Alfred Hitchcock film Young and Innocent, the John Ford films Wee Willie Winkie and The Hurricane, Frank Capra's adaptation of Lost Horizon, the Laurel and Hardy comedy Way Out West, Shall We Dance with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, the Marx Brothers comedy A Day at the Races, George Stevens' A Damsel in Distress starring Astaire alongside Burns and Allen, William Wyler's Dead End, Gregory La Cava's Stage Door starring Rogers and Katharine Hepburn, Conquest with Greta Garbo and Charles Boyer, Maytime with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, Broadway Melody of 1938 which marked the breakthrough of Judy Garland, Jean Harlow's final film Saratoga (co-starring Clark Gable), and the musical comedy Hollywood Hotel.

Significant literary works that will enter the public domain include J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novel The Hobbit in its original unrevised version, John Steinbeck's novella Of Mice and Men, Dr. Seuss's first children's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot mystery novels Death on the Nile and Dumb Witness as well as her short story collection Murder in the Mews and Other Stories, Stephen Vincent Benét's post-apocalyptic short story By the Waters of Babylon (under its original title The Place of the Gods), Zora Neale Hurston's novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play You Can't Take It with You, Arthur Miller's play They Too Arise, Paul Green's play The Lost Colony, Orson Welles' modernized Shakespeare adaptation Caesar, the Hardy Boys novel A Figure in Hiding, the Nancy Drew mystery stories The Whispering Statue and The Haunted Bridge, Hergé's Tintin story The Broken Ear in its original French black-and-white version, and the first editions of the magazines Look and Tales of Wonder. The characters Prince Valiant and Mrs. Miniver, created by Hal Foster and Jan Struther respectively, will enter the public domain, as will the Disney comic strips introducing Donald Duck's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie (whose animated debut will become public domain the following year). The first issues of the British children's comic magazine The Dandy will also enter the public domain in the US in 2033, and with them the earliest iteration of its mascot, Desperate Dan as well as the character Korky the Cat.

Works of art entering the public domain in 2033 include Pablo Picasso's oil painting Guernica (as well as René Iché's sculpture of that name) and his comics inspired print-series The Dream and Lie of Franco, Salvador Dalí's The Burning Giraffe and Metamorphosis of Narcissus, René Magritte's Not to be Reproduced, Joan Miró's lost painting The Reaper, Adolf Ziegler's The Four Elements, M. C. Escher's first "impossible reality" woodcut Still Life and Street, and Vera Mukhina's sculpture Worker and Kolkhoz Woman.

Among the popular songs that will enter the public domain are "Hooray for Hollywood" (introduced in Hollywood Hotel as the title song), "Sweet Leilani", "Once in a While", "September in the Rain", "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" (best known as the theme music of the Looney Tunes series), and the entire Snow White soundtrack, including its signature tunes "Whistle While You Work", "Heigh-Ho" and "Some Day My Prince Will Come".
