I'm auditing a cartoon and have a question about copyright date.  There's 2 credited.

The first says: program copyright c 1988

The next two are the same: program copyright c 1987 and music copyright c 1987.

Go with the earlier one or the 1988 one?  My thought is the 1987, as it's older, but thought I'd check here first as it would be changing what is already there.

Go with the earlier Copyright. That is the ORIGINAL, the 1988 is a renewal.

Per the rules, we're not after the copyright date, but after "the year of the original theatrical release".

This is true. Not sure by the OP as it just says auditing a cartoon... if this is something that originally aired on TV then per rules we need the original airdate of the show/first episode.

Fully agree with Pete: the original airdate is all that matters here.
