Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: lighthearted; themes: rural setting, physical exertion; style notes: classic 2D animation, bright flat colors, medium shot framing Popeye against a pastoral background

Popeye climbs a white picket fence in a rural setting. The scene is outdoors with green grass, trees, and distant hills.

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
