So I’m thinking about making a short narrative cinematic game based on these two characters, would Roblox take my game down if I were to make this?
That story was made way back in 1812, so you’ll be fine.

i don’t think you’ll going to get copyrighted over a fairytale that was created 2 centuries ago.

I don’t remember the characters, I don’t remember what they looked like. That’s sad. But, no, you won’t get copyrighted. It’s a story that nobody talks about anymore, and you aren’t even fully copying it. I am pretty sure it is allowed.
