      People tend to treat "fairy tale" like a negative trait because people associate fairy tales as a childish form of literature, not helped by Disney doing their best to softball them and make fairy tales even more the domain of children.

You wouldn't see stuff like _Gargoyles,_ or _Batman: the Animated Series_ getting the green light nowadays, as opposed to the 90s. You'd never hear the line "Pay a man enough, and he'll walk barefoot into Hell," in a modern cartoon, for instance, nor have the sheer amount of implied death, violence, horrific human experimentation, etc. that was present just in those two shows. Is modern western animation more friendly and accessible for neuroatypicals, LGBTQ folk, and people of all walks of life? Sure. But it's also a lot more bright and happy than a lot of 90s stuff, and a lot less grim.
