Description	The first appearance of the character Arnold Shortman from the short "Arnold Escapes from Church" There is no copyright notice on the short itself and was not registered within 5 years according to the copyright database: https://publicrecords.copyright.gov/search?page_number=1&query=%22arnold%20escapes%22&field_type=%22keyword%22&records_per_page=10&sort_order=%22asc%22&type_of_work=%22motion_picture%22&model=%22%22. Therefore this short and the earliest iterations of the characters depicted in are likely in the public domain, however Nickelodeon and Paramount still own trademarks on the later versions of Arnold and the Hey Arnold show/brand. Wanted to share because this short kinda deserves some love for the character's history and as a example in claymation shorts showing imagination and wonders of childhood.
