I may need some help to determine if the following qualify:
Into the Woods (2014) - I haven't seen this film, but I understand it puts various fairy tale characters into a single continuity.
BUT, I read that it uses characters created by the Brothers Grimm. Now, if ALL the characters come from the same creator(s), then it's tough to say the Wold Newton concept applies. The question is, are all the characters from the Grimm's or does it utilize characters from other sources as well? And, if they are all Grimm characters, is there any way to know if the Grimm's considered all their tales taking place in the same universe or not?
Similarly, there are other films that utilize some famous fairy tale characters, but I don't know if they come from singular sources or various sources...
March of the Wooden Soldiers (1934) - a.k.a. Babes in Toyland
Babes in Toyland (1961)
