I think if Disney owns Once, it IS Disney. It's like saying The Little Mermaid isn't Disney because it's base on a book by Hans Christian Anderson. Also, I don't think just because a movie hasn't been made by Disney and Once uses a story, makes it non-Disney, because Once is Disney-owned, it is Disney, or becomes Disney. Rumple is now Disney, because of Once, for example. I think the reason that a lot of fans are insistent with the Once =/= Disney thing, including myself, is that it makes the show feel restricted. There are a lot of Disney movies to choose from for the show, but there are plenty more fairytales and literature of all sorts that could be chosen instead. Exactly, I really liked how in the first season it was basically Grimm fairytales (Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Cinderella, Hensel & Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood) with little nods to Disney. I wonder how the show would have been if it hadn't been produced by abc studios.
