Would like to know from someone more knowledgeble about copyrights: Wouldn't Disney claim a copyright on the Snow-white character itself?

It's Alice in Wonderland, which was written in 1865, so it's in the public domain. The artist's illustration is inspired by the original Tenniel illustrations, so it's not a derivative of the 1951 Disney adaptation.
