Well, U.S.-based Parragon Publishing licenses the rights from Disney for various activity books. Dutton is an imprint under Penguin, which does the "classics" you're basing your work on. I imagine the former would be slighted if you didn't have rights to publish, but I imagine the latter would be more likely to take action.

Disney, on the other hand, gets my vote as the first to sue you if it were to happen. I've heard of them doing stuff like that and, after all, they are the actual holder of the copyright.
