Disney can still making use of Mickey character even if their very first movies become public property 

The point of culture pieces becoming public is to recognize them as piece of arts where their cultural and historical values offset their economical value. Public domain artwork is great because can be freely used for educational and recreational purposes. Not everything must be subject of capitalism, there are more important things in society than providing infinite money for privileged people who just have the luck to born in the families as past artists. I personally couldn't care less if JK Rowlling great-great-great-great children won't profit from her work

For once, most of theatrical plays are based on public domain plays. Imagine how dreadful would be the state of Theater as a art field if there was no public domain stories and they absolutely need to pay copyrights for children plays on high school? 

Just think: if the descendants of Homer still owned the rights to the Odyssee, the battle of Troy and Iason and the Argonauts. So many movies and games and books couldn't exist.

Indeed a very good insight. Many of modern media are created on the roots on public domain pieces. Can't imagine how art would develop with copyright was something perennial. 

Personally excited to see Hobbits as a playable species on MMO XD
