Publication Year and Studio: 1950, Famous Studios / Paramount Pictures.

Renewal/Registration Window and Findings: Published in 1950, the film's copyright required renewal in 1978 (28th year after publication). A search of the U.S. Copyright Office’s Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE), Motion Pictures section, and the online Public Records System (copyright.gov) shows no renewal filed for Quack a Doodle Doo under Famous Studios or Paramount Pictures. The lack of renewal indicates the copyright expired in 1978.

Public Domain Status: Public domain (entered in 1978 due to non-renewal).

Availability of Legal, Public Domain Copies: Unrestored versions of Baby Huey: Quack a Doodle Doo are legally available on platforms like the Internet Archive and YouTube, often in lower quality due to the age of the original prints. Some restored versions (e.g., 2003 Ovation Home Video VHS) may include additional copyrighted material, such as new music or edits, so only unrestored, original prints are confirmed public domain.
