Preferably mashed-up together with a nice Naruto reference for good measure. (Naruto having done massive references and tributes to both legends within its own world-building lore.) They won't do Naruto. The only way they will reference it is if Henry gets into anime. ;) I said Naruto REFERENCE, not Naruto ADAPTATION. ;) And btw, Naruto is first and foremost a MANGA, AKA a book. And it still doesn't belong. It would be lost on many and Asian fairytales are known by few. Once hits the higher folktales, literature, and fairytales because that is what most know.

Manga isn't one of them and it does not belong. Once will only hit the high notes simply because I believe it can not hit low note and less known tales because that requires time and risk. That is why Disney related properties have been hit as well as the incoming Camelot.
