Preferably mashed-up together with a nice Naruto reference for good measure. (Naruto having done massive references and tributes to both legends within its own world-building lore.) They won't do Naruto. The only way they will reference it is if Henry gets into anime. ;) I said Naruto REFERENCE, not Naruto ADAPTATION. ;) And btw, Naruto is first and foremost a MANGA, AKA a book. And it still doesn't belong. It would be lost on many and Asian fairytales are known by few. Once hits the higher folktales, literature, and fairytales because that is what most know.

Manga isn't one of them and it does not belong. Once will only hit the high notes simply because I believe it can not hit low note and less known tales because that requires time and risk. That is why Disney related properties have been hit as well as the incoming Camelot. Ok, but I didn't say they should do Manga. I said a reference to one that brought the two folktales that I want featured into the modern era. And furthermore, how many people know Snow White and Rose Red? Almost no one, and yet two episodes are centered around that tale. That fairytale was barely touched. It was mostly Snow White and Red Riding Hood. I know you didn't say manga, but if the choice is between Traditional tales most know versus other tales, I doubt. Plus, you have to think, do the writers even read manga or study these other tales. The answer is likely no. An episode about it would lead to people being dumbfounded and lost. Mentions or cameos would be left unnoticed.

Do you want it? Maybe. Would it ever have a chance at happening? No. Would they butcher it? Most likely.
