Other than using the Disney licensed costumes... Does Disney hold all rights to the classic fairytale princess?

Cinderella, Snow white, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid all predate the Disney Company by a few centuries..

Which calls into question.. if you purchase a Disney Licensed costume, are you not allowed to wear it? I am sure as long as they don't claim to BE Disney Princesses..... they have some form of defense..
No, just Disney's version of them. but who is going to dress in a unknown
cinderella outfit and be reconized? people only reconize Disney's versions.

Want to hear something that would make Disney's lawyers scream?
Today at a place here called Fright World, I saw slutty Disney princesse
costumes. the Snow costume should have been called, Ho White.

Thanks Dr. Corey for putting that up, unfortunately that's the version from Ca not Fl so it might be a bit different. Just stating so that those who watch it don't say "where are the princesses?" lol. i liked Ca's opening so much better though with the 50's naval and army opening to Christina's Candy Man.

Wouldn't this also violate Fox's copyright on "24"?

That whole show is protected, as it is all parody.
