Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: comic frustration; themes: sleep disturbance, unwanted intrusion; style notes: medium close-ups on characters, flat color backgrounds, exaggerated expressions typical of 1950s animation

A large man in a striped shirt lies in bed while a small mouse stands on his chest; the mouse then appears alone, covering its ears, before running out a door. The man speaks about needing sleep and tells the mouse to leave.

“I gotta get me some sleep. Go pedal your cheese outside. I don't know.” 1:55 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.
