But I'm allowed to take heavy inspiration from them. If I painted something imitating the style of Picasso that would be perfectly legal.

  Yet if you painted something imitating the style of Mickey Mouse that would not be legal. The law specifies limits and restrictions even for paintings completely of your own imagination too.

    I can absolutely do a painting in the style of popular Disney shows. What I cannot do is use their characters. That's a significant difference.

      Mickey Mouse is in fact a Disney character, not a show.

        And a character isn't an art style.
