Disposable camera question

I recently dug up two disposable cameras of mine. Probably around 10 years old.
I understand that the films might be half-burnt (or even whole) but I'll be getting them developed anyway.

Since I am clueless my question is: both have some shots left, is it advisable to shoot the remaining photos or do I risk somehow corrupting the rest of the film?

I know the film has (obviously) expired but you never know what the results may be.

Just finish shooting with them. The exposed frames will be fine as long the cameras haven't been damaged.

The only way to corrupt film is to expose it to light after shooting the frame and without developing it. So as long as the camera bodies are still intact the film is safe. Finish off the remaining frames and take them over to your local walgreen/cvs

They'll be fine most likely, and as old as they are probably turn out looking a little spazzed out (personally I find it to be much more interesting when the film is fucked up, but that's just me.)

I got one of the two films processed after all, but sadly almost all photos (20/28) are unrecognizable. They are mostly pink. Was worth a try though.

Too bad!

I still buy a disposable waterproof film camera now and then for some waterborne adventure where I don't want to risk either of my cameras. Pictures I've gotten are mostly dark and out of focus.
