I admittedly enjoyed the Frozen characters and found Cruella interesting but Merida was a bit much and it bugged me that they wasted an extra hour on her. Plus, I was looking forward to meeting Rumple's mom. And I understand if you want to get picky..all the charaters they have used are fairytales even Mulan..she is folklore in china.

BUT CRUELLA & THE FROZEN CREW ARE NOT! When they first introduced Pongo..I was THE HELL!?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hundred_and_One_Dalmatians  Yes its base off the orginal novel, that disney used. But it has no fanstay aspects. As say Wonderland/OZ which were also novels. It seems ONCE is now saying "Well if we open it and orginally it was novel...it can fly" no! This show has always been about stories, not just fairy tales. The majority of the stories have fantasy elements, (which is why the majority of them are fairy tales), but it never said they had to specifically be those.
