The Gallopin' Gaucho (1928)
Walter Elias Disney and Ub Iwerks

→

This is a silent version of the film, as it was released without sound in August 1928 (though the copyright notice says 1929). A sound version was possibly first released (based on the testimony of some sources) on December 30, 1928, but this release date is unconfirmed and disputed. The latest it could have been released was in 1929, which would put the audio public domain date at 2025. Any audible dialogue may be completely missing, and will be reassessed when the audio version is confirmed to be in the public domain.
The film is a parody of the 1927 film The Gaucho, which starred Douglas Fairbanks.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published before January 1, 1929.

Copyright law abroad tends to consider the following people authors of a film:

The principal director
The screenwriter, and/or other writers of dialogue
The composer/lyricist (if the film is accompanied by sound)
The cinematographer
By extension, the authors of any works that may serve as the basis for a film's plot

The longest-living of these authors died in 1971, so this work is in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 52 years or less. This work may be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works.
