The first Popeye horror movie is already announced.



Apparently, Popeye did not eat spinach in his first appearances so that aspect has yet to enter the public domain.

Also, the song "Singin' in the Rain" is now public domain but not the musical of the same name. The Gene Kelly version is not yet in the public domain.
