The material which was public domain is still public domain, Disney did not “re-copyright” anything. Just google how many different versions of Pinocchio has been made independently from Disney. Gulliermo del Toro won an oscar for his version. If you havent seen that it is your own fault, not the fault of Disney or copyright law. Stephen Sondheim had a pretty succesful musical based on Grimms tales. But yeah, if you want people to care about your version, you have to bring something new to the table.
