That just makes the show more infantile in my opinion. From what I have heard from people who watched the episode, the hair wad a bit distracting, but it was saved because Greg acted well. Its not infantile at all. Thats the premise of the show, bringing Disney and other fairy tale characters to life. They should look like a life action version of their animated counter parts, and should exhibt every trait as accuarately as possible but also maintaining a groundedness into the realism of the show which they have done so with  pretty much all of the other characters who resemble their aniamted counterparts closely. The only need for any physical changes is if it would look TOO cartoony, which it does not here. If you ask me it looks more realistic than some of the things that I have seen in the Maleficent  movie

Wrong, wrong, wrong and – guess it – wrong.

The premise of the show is to take several fairy tales, legends, novels and stories, and build them into a "what if" narrative in which they all happen in the same place and interact with one another. With some occasional nod to Disney because we – the audience – are generally more familiar with those versions and love an easter egg every now and then. That does NOT mean a direct translation of Disney movies into live action and does not mean what started up as a thrilling collection of easter eggs must necessarily become the norm just becaue the audience is lazy.

And nope, no amount of Frozen or Brave they've been chunking in lately can change that, or will diminish the mythological research on the pre-Disney characters which poured all though the first seasons, which showed how much they cared for the source material rather than some cheap animated-to-live mash up.
