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

The Disney artwork would be copyright and probably some of the story that is unique to Disney's adaptation, but the characters themselves are fair game.

Just because something is legal and fair game doesn't mean that corpo trash would harass people over it

Your point would hit harder if Snow White hadn't been adapted a stupid amount of times after Disney's movie.
