derivative work

Can anyone explain to me the difference between a "copy" of an original work and a derivative work -- in case of for instance a sculpture?

Will it be sufficient to change minor details in the original work or does the derivative work have to appear clearly different from the original? -- e.g. if I paint new eyebrow and/or moustache on Donald Duck eventually give him a new shirt -- have I then created a derivative work?

What is case law on this?
