To take the words from Eskaver... OUaT =/= Disney.

Talking Lions would not work on this show (any more than talking bears, panthers, Gorillas, snakes, or any other animal.)  I like the Lion King, don't get me wrong, I just don't really see those characters working in Once.

Now, since Lion King is loosely based on Hamlet, I would not be opposed to having some Shakespearian references.
