Fairy tales are fairy tales, but the movie making abilities of two different animation studios adapting the same fairy tale don't lead to identical results.
I like the
Italian animated take of Pinocchio as much as the Disney version. But that doesn't mean that any bottom-of-the-barrel adaptation churned out by a studio trying to cash in is of equal quality to one of the top animation studios in the world.

Fortunately Disney does not own any copyrights on the (classic) fairy tales themselves.

And since Disney doesn't own copyrights on those fairy tale, any fly-by-night studio and come along and churn out their own take and call it The Little Mermaid or what-have-you, even if it doesn't live up to the standards you set above. It is up to you to learn that not all animated versions of a fairy tale are of equal quality.
