Vaguely, I think. Only in the sense that the Emperor goes through an experience and learns to have humility. I'm going through this thread I found and someone mentioned it: http://everafterhighfandom.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:22269 Specifically in here:

Another thing in mind is that, for both traditionally European tales (although particularly those that might be more popular/universal), sometimes I wish that folks would be a little more daring when it comes to diverse casting choices. If Disney can make an adaptation of the German tale Emperor's New Clothes and change the setting so that it's in South America/the Incan Empire (say what you will about the film's fairy tale accuracy, it kind of was a fun movie), then there's no reason why you can't make your son of the Beast Chinese or your daughter of Clara from The Nutcracker Suite Latina. It'd also be rather interesting to see more multiracial or mixed race OCs, which I think could work well especially for fan characters whose fairy tale parent isn't destined to marry a particular person (the world is a pretty big place and, with advances in travel and immigration, people from all stretches of the world can be found pretty much anywhere if you look closely).
