The glove joke is that only Steamboat Willie is in the public domain. Wearing the gloves makes him Mickey Mouse, which is why he should absolutely not wear them as his copyright hasn’t expired.

The other doors look like Donald Duck, Superman, and I guess James Bond? I assume their copyright expirations are coming soon—in that order.

Aaaahhhhhh thanks. Yes I totally forgot that Steamboat Willie was PD now, and about wearing the gloves. Oh well!
