Yeah, a lot of people ONLY know the Disney version, but that's kinda sad imo. In fact, I know several people who are just now reading the original versions of these stories because of this show XD

Just because the show is made by a Disney-owned company doesn't mean they need to dictate everything by the Disney version, ya know? That wouldn't be as fun anyway XD YAY! I am glad its got people reading the original tales! I am a huge fairy tale fan, I love the classics, and I like the even more obscure ones from all over the world. It is sad that they have been lost behind the cutesy Disney versions but its great that shows like this develop interest in them again.

Whilst I dont want the whole show to be awash with everything only Disney as I do love when they go back to the darker roots of the tales, and I love twists and changes. But going back the topic I just personally think that certain characters who are Disney named should be how or similar to how they appear in the films. Changing a characters race/gender/apparence for the sake of it often feels contrived, especially if the character is iconic.
