Looking forward to Betty Boop looking for her groundhog’s shadow and saying “Boop-oop-a-doop, guess it’s going to be an early spring!” and Nancy Drew taking on the “Case of the Missing Shadow.”
The original Betty Boop, the first four Nancy Drew books and Greta Garbo's first talkie are among the many works from 1930 that will be free to use, share and remake starting on Jan. 1.
The cultural works becoming public domain in 2026, from Betty Boop to Nancy Drew
