      Wouldn’t Disney harass somebody if they were try to make it tho? It would look too much like theirs?

      The stories are, but not the characters as drawn by Disney, it’s like classic music, you can use the Music commercially (given that you Perform I), but you can’t use a performance from someone else.

      Same with classic stories, you can make your own snow white story, but you can’t use snow white as performed by Disney (yet)
