[edit] Summary

An image of Mickey Mouse in Steamboat Willie. Mickey is the official mascot for "Disneyland/Walt Disney World" and Mickey Mouse Club franchises.

Notice that the word "Copyright" appears closer to "Ub Iwerks" than to "Walt Disney", which may have affected the validity of the film's U.S. copyright.[1][2]

[edit] Fair Use Rationale for Mickey Mouse

The image picture-fair-use.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright I (HighwayCello|) feel it is covered by fair use because:

It is low resolution.
It does not limit the copyright owners rights in any way.
Depicts subject discussed in article.
The photo is only being used for informational purposes.

for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

to illustrate The Walt Disney Company or the subsidiary or theme park in question,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Logos.
