Well, they included the popular cast to advertise their product. If it was only secondary and background characters (especially since we don't see them anymore and new audiences may not remember them), it would be business-savvy to do that. Regina and Hook are their main advertisements and they used it on this, like they did so for the Huntsman using Regina.

I like Belle's story, since we even get more of her background and this could and should have been an episode and it wouldn't make the Pandora's box looks like one of their many magic items that we'll never see or hear of again (magic gauntlet, wishing star, etc). Regina's story was a bit disappointing, I would agree. It was short and weird illustration (sometimes hard to make out things) and it was like a story that progressed nothing. Hook's was okay, I guess, although it had wasted some potential in it. Nice art style though. Jefferson's was good and we learned something many wondered (punny) about.
