Well, if you can invent a time machine, feel free to travel back in time and undo the concept of public domain. Then when Disney came around, he'd either have to obtain the rights to do his movies or create all new characters.
As is, what's done is done. However, the future is yet to be and there's still time to put the brakes on public domain and allow creators to keep control of their works in perpetuity.
