Once Upon A Time is a show that twist fairytales, folklore, myths and legends (and classical literature and nursery rhymes). It is to take all things fantastical from our childhood to life (and Disney usually owns some of them).

Once uses literary characters under those categories and can use what they please. I hate to break it to you, but:

Wonderland isn't a fairy tale, but literature

Frankenstein isn't a fairytale but literature

Neverland stuff isn't a fairytale, but literature

Arthurian legend isn't a fairytale, but legend and literature

Beowulf is literature

Bo Peep is a Nursery Rhyme

Rip Van Winkle is American folklore

One that Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is literature

So, Once Upon a Time hasn't been onbly fairytales since episode 6 of season 1, which had Midas a mythological/ legendary character.

Grek Mythology is myth, legend, and literature.

So, here's reality and feel free to continue this discussion elsewhere and not on this thread.

(MOD) This is about characters, not genre that you are confused about being in Once. It hasn't even been 100% fairytales since Pilot. Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket, Gepetto and The Blue Fairy, anyone? Pinocchio is a novel, not a fairytale.

Mulan is a ballad, Robin Hood is also a ballad, both are historical figures, as is Blackbeard and Sir Morgan (both pirates).

All around this show we've seen things that are hardly considered fairytales. So people need to calm down.

And I'll be 100% happy because Hercules was one of my favorite movies growing up. Along with Mulan, The Little Mermaid and Tarzan. And this gives me hope for Tarzan.
