For example, theres stories like Swan Lake, Mary Poppins, Tom Sawyer, The Frog Prince, Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle, The Emperors New Clothes, Atlantis, Dracula, Romeo and Juliet, Princess and the Pea, Black Cauldron, Goldilocks, and Thumbelina. Which I think could all work on the show. Besides Mary Poppins and Black Cauldron, none of those are Disney realted (Princess and the Frog was based on The Frog Prince.)

If Adam and Eddy can pick a few more stories from other locations (Africa, Japan, etc.) it would be okay. I don't see them becoming the main focus of the show though. Actually out of your list Disney has done: Mary Poppins (as Mary Poppins), The Frog Prince (as The Princess and The Frog), Sleepy Hollow (as The Adventures of Icabob and Mr. Toad), The Emperor's New Clothes (as The Emperor's New Groove), Atlantis (as Atlantis: The Lost Empire), and The Black Cauldron (as The Black Cauldron). But I agree Once won't only do Disney works, as it has done other things since season 1.
