On the contrary. Basing a NEW story on existing ideas and tales is completely unimpeeded by copyright. So many movies are just Romeo and Juliet retold. But you don’t need to name the characters Romeo and Juliet.
So make your own Snow White inspired book or movie. Just not the actual Snow White.
I’d make an exception for works abandoned by the author or publisher.
