Mickey-1928 is fine-tuned version of Stable-Diffusion-xl trained on 96 stills in the public domain from 1928.

pop-art painting of Mickey walking in Paris

This is a fork of Mickey-1928, which can generate images of Mickey, Minnie and, to a much lesser extent, Pete (with the prompt PeteLegPete).

Dataset

Since 2024, the first three cartoons of Mickey are in the public domain. The final dataset includes:

  • 40 stills from Gallopin' Gaucho (in color)
  • 22 stills from Plane Crazy
  • 34 stills from Steamboat Willie.
  • 2 Character Sheets (while new, they are made up entirely from rips of frames from these shorts)
  • 1 still from Get A Horse showing the PD Mickey and Minnie designs and an almost bland background
  • 3 stills from The Mad Doctor (everything in the short is public domain except for the dog)

The stills are not currently available in high quality and you should not expect consistently good results from Mickey-1928. The color images from Gallopin' Gaucho are in 360x360 pixels. Hopefully with the cartoons now being part of the public domain, higher definition versions should be available.

The generated images aim to adhere to the public domain design in order to have Mickey, Minnie and Pete in the public domain. This is still a work in progress: while the model is in development, generated images should be checked to ensure they really are in the public domain design.
