Under the Copyright Term Extension Act, books published in 1934, films released in 1934, and sheet music and other works published in 1934 will enter the public ___domain in 2030.[5][6] Sound recordings published in 1929 and unpublished works whose authors died in 1959 will also enter the public ___domain.[5]

Two characters from Disney's core animated universe, Donald Duck and Clara Cluck, will enter the public ___domain in 2030 through their respective debut films, the Silly Symphony cartoon The Wise Little Hen and the Mickey Mouse cartoon Orphan's Benefit (the latter of which also marked the first appearance of Goofy under his familiar identity). Also entering the public ___domain in 2030 is the superhero character Flash Gordon, whose first comic strips appeared in U.S. newspapers in 1934.

The most famous feature films entering the public ___domain in 2030 are Frank Capra's Best Picture Academy Award winner It Happened One Night starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, which is known for its famous hitchhiking scene, and the Laurel and Hardy adaptation of Babes in Toyland (also known under its alternative title March of the Wooden Soldiers). Other notable films entering the public ___domain in 2030 include Cecil B. DeMille's Cleopatra, Sidney Franklin's The Barretts of Wimpole Street starring Norma Shearer and Frederic March, W. S. Van Dyke's The Thin Man and Forsaking All Others, the musical film Stand Up and Cheer! which marked the breakthrough of child actress Shirley Temple, Little Miss Marker (also starring Temple), Victor Fleming's adaptation of Treasure Island, Mark Sandrich's The Gay Divorcee starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, John Ford's Judge Priest starring Will Rogers, Lloyd Bacon's Here Comes the Navy, John M.

Scott Fitzgerald's novel Tender Is the Night, John Dickson Carr's mystery novel The Plague Court Murders introducing Sir Henry Merrivale, Robert Graves' novel I, Claudius, Henry Miller's novel Tropic of Cancer, Evelyn Waugh's novel A Handful of Dust, Rex Stout's detective novel Fer-de-Lance introducing Nero Wolfe, Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot mystery novel Murder on the Orient Express, George Orwell's Burmese Days, the first English translation of Mikhail Sholokhov's And Quiet Flows the Don, Hergé's Tintin story Cigars of the Pharaoh in its original French black-and-white version, and Lillian Hellman's play The Children's Hour.

Popular songs entering the public ___domain in 2030 include "June In January", "Love In Bloom", "Cocktails for Two", and "The Very Thought Of You". The popular Christmas songs "Winter Wonderland" and "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" will also enter the public ___domain in 2030; in the former's case, its entry will exclude the more child-friendly revised lyrics (which would later become the second verse) where the snowman is changed from Parson Brown to a circus clown, which did not appear until 1947.
