I would love to see a few older storylines closed first (Grumpy & Nova, anyone?), instead of new “disposable” characters popping up randomly (Ariel, anyone?). With this said, I always become murderous when people complain about the OUAT characters looking different / acting different / being different / being entirely someone else than Disney characters, because as much as I love some of them, the Disney movies are not THE fairytales. I like it when theu draw back from the originals and make their own, new takes on those characters, even including some Disney hints or features. So, as much as I love Beauty and the Beast, I'm glad OUAT Belle is different than Disney's Belle, that Rumple is the Beast instead of another character, that Lumiere was enslaved by Zelena and so on. The same goes with Frozen: I loved it, but if they had to include the Snow Queen into the show, I would like a new take on the original characters, even if they named them Anna and Elsa.

Ad for Merida and Brave... well, nope. It's no classic, that's it.
