Disney variants honestly mean nothing to us. They take stories, they alter them. We have never associated Ever After High with Disney and never will. Tarzan also doesn't have any magical elements and such, and it doesn't exactly qualify as "folklore" or anything similar. Shakespeare and Lewis Carroll were canonically acceptable tales (and King Lear isn't even specifically Shakespeare, the play has been around for a long time before). And I don't know Mattel's reasoning behind Peter the Dutch Boy,

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz falls in very much the same category as Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. They're technically not traditional fairytales, but they're children's books with fantasy elements that have been around for so long and have affected out culture in a way that they're kind of considered those.

And thank you for finding Azalea Clayton! The OC-maker who made her also happened to make a Mulan (which we don't really consider acceptable) girl. We have added them to the Candidates for Deletion category~
