C'mon let's face it, Once can go on for many seasons (although it might get worser) and they eventually may need to use lesser known tales, for example Asian ones. And for example just by having Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru could introduce people to the Asian tales.

But on the other hand we still haven't seen many "Agrabah" characters like Aladdin, Ali Baba and Sinbad or other characters like the Headless Horseman. I heard that they weren't going to adapt Goldilocks somewhere but that could change any time as well. Worser it shall, but even if I am Once != Disney, thy would go through all the Disney properties x 1000 before they do obscure tales. We'll see the Chupacabra before we'd ever see anything Asian. I don't know about that. The Chupacabra is along the lines of Bigfoot and The Loch Ness Monster, something that might be real in our world, but is unproven. Meanwhile, Mulan is already on the show, and from an actual legend/myth/whatever. If we get more Mulan story, they may feel they need to also do something else Asian as well, although I agree it may be hard to do something Asian that an American audience would recognize unfortunatly (obviously some Americans that are into asian myths, manga, anime, etc. would get stuff, but they are in the minority). That being said, they could also put non-asian fairytales into Mulan's setting. Mulan worked for an emperor, could he be the emperor in The Emperor's New Clothes? Stuff like that.
