Because both of those already existed long before Disney 'reinvented' them:

You can still tell and sell stories about them. It's done all the time. Nothing is stopping anyone from doing so.

You can't tell a story about Disney's Pocahontas or Aladdin, true. But you can about your own version of those characters.
