The talking Animals in wonderland sorta worked because it was set in Wonderland. Setting in the EF might make it work, but much of the setting is in Storybrooke, Maine, US, where talking animals would not make any sense at all.

And honestly, I cringe at the thought of CGI talking animals. Graham's wolf and Pongo are easy because they are actual animals, not CGI (They even have the actual dog playing Pongo listed as an uncredited appearance on the episode page), and we don't see them talking.

And while you might have references and visits to other realms, the CGI to pull off those efforts would be extremely costly, and unless they want to blow Movie Budget expense, will still be cringeworthy.
