Like Disney and Snow White. They put those names on the dwarves. So not just the animation is copyrighted, but any version of the public domain story with the Disney names violates Disney copyright.
I saw a range of princess dolls. The maker used the ORIGINAL names in the public domain stories and on each box it says which story (and collecting author approx date) they are from. Otherwise they'd be sued out of existence by the greedy Disney machine. Actually they looked more realistic girl shape and nicer costume than Hasbro / Mattel / Disney.
