I think if they are going to use the same names as they are given in the Disney films (as lots of the names are only how they are called in Disney and not in the origional stories), and that is is a Disney/abc made show and seeing as how the Disney version is how many people only know of the fairy stories anyway, they need to be at least similar to how they appear in the disney films so that they are familiar to the audience watching, especially seeing as how the fairy stories are in some cases drastically changed from how we know them, keeping the visual similarities with a character help make the new connections easier. And whilst  I agree that they shouldn't all look exactly like the films, certain more iconic characters should IMO bare a strong resemblance to their animated versions, or at the very least be referenced in the costume in some way. Lots of characters on OUaT look nothing like the Disney versions (or how even how they are traditionally described or portrayed in the fairy tales even i.e Rumple is not a bearded gnome like creature) which I love. I just like when they do reference the look of the Disney version (i.e Wendy has the large bow and a similar hair colour and style to the film).
