David and James are the prince and pauper allusions. Disney has did like all the stories, but it doesn't mean that Once does Disney. Disney probably had some 5 minute skit on Red Riding Hood, but you can't say that Once took from that. They aren't explanding Disney. That's the part that is backwards. They are introducing characters that we may have known about by twisting their stories and using Disney iconography. Expanding Disney is just Frozen and Brave and not anything else because those were the true Disney insertions.

They had introduce Oz in early season 2 (2012) and they even had the use of Elder Futhark runes (the runes Frozen uses) in season 1. Cruella is no more plucked out of Disney than the book she originated from. Why? Because there's no Roger and Anita, no Jasper and other guy, there's not even 100 Dalmatians as she killed two and that's it. She's obviously isn't even close to any of them besides the car, the hair, and love for fur and gin (which is similar to the books and stuff). That's what I'm saying pretty much. They aren't expanding Disney as expanding means taking what you had before and adding to it when they are creating completely new characters with a few nods to their other variations.
