While I don't clap for Disney at all, it's important to note that the fairy tales are still there where Disney found them.

The problem with Disney is their extremely aggressive and repeated push to safeguards their own golden goose. (And IMHO they have a serious quality problem. "Somehow Palpatine returned.")

In general the quasi-forever current copyright regime is simply too blunt, and arguably waay over the optimum point in terms of length of granted protection with regards to "incentivizing the creation of arts", and of course it's incentivizing the collection of money-making properties and flooding the market to extinguish most of anything else. (Naturally attention is a limited resource, so "arts is a zero sum game".)
