Yes, it is in the public domain.
The Little Engine That Could was created in 1930.
Public domain, for more than a century. What could still be protected is a modern arrangement.
A film appearing in the public domain means that no individual, organisation or government owns the film. It is therefore said to be in the public domain. There are a couple of ways a film could appear in the public domain. Firstly it was never copyrighted when it was originally released. Secondly a film enters the public domain if the copyright of the film has expired. How long it takes for a copyright to expire depends on a number of factors such as when the film was released and whether the copyright has been renewed over the years.

Yes, in theory, public domain means there is no copyright. However, there have been cases in which works that were clearly in the public domain have been given "restored" or "retro-active" copyright, making it potentially troublesome. Also, there are other non-copyright issues in some works, including the possibility of personal rights for an image of an individual, including the right of privacy, the right of publicity and commercial use of the image (e.g., to suggest sponsorship). You should also consider the fact that "public domain" in one country does not necessarily imply public domain in all other countries. A work could be copyrighted in one country and not copyrighted in another.
There are many sites where one can find a collection of public domain background pictures. Flickr, Microsoft and Stock Vault all have a wide selection of pictures one could use.

Public domain is the body of works no longer protected by copyright, which can be freely used by anyone for anything and it will not violate copyright law. However, some types of works include other rights such as trademarks or recognizable images of living individuals, which could be restricted under other laws.
