They either would've purchased the movie rights or they would've created something else. After all, Disney did create Mickey Mouse.

That's true, and certainly Mickey Mouse was a wholly-original work...

Hey look, it's Mickey Rabbit

Lesson learned - always make sure you own the rights for your creations.
