Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: comedic; themes: election, voting, political satire; style notes: cartoon animation, bright flat colors, exaggerated character proportions, medium shots

A man in a tuxedo rides a wheeled contraption outdoors, then enters a voting booth indoors where a woman in a red dress pulls him by the arm. A voice declares refusal to vote for him and urges voting for Popeye Love.

“I'll never, never, never, never ever vote for you! Get in there, baby, and vote for Popeye Love!” 5:26 automatic transcript, may be wrong

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.
