Ali Baba actually IS Aladdin (in his Prince disguise, he goes by the alias Prince Ali), so I would like Once's version to reflect the Disney version in that respect (name Aladdin as Ali Baba from the start and make him a lost prince or something).

I would LOVE more of the Hong Kong Dragon (AKA Mushu) and why can't we see both Fa Zhou AND Li Shang? I just hope they make him gay if they made Mulan a lesbian. I wanna see more LGBT representation on the show. They certainly did shrek references like Emma locked in a tower guarded by a dragon (Lily), and Ogre quotes such as "Those would be giants", "Ogres are far worse." Shrek is very modern for it to be on Once. And yes, I know, Frozen just came out. But Shrek isn't even a fairytale, it's a parody of fairytales.

It's also way too attached to the Dreamworks franchise. So I don't see that happening.
