I actually like your question. I know Santa Claus was based on at least one real person, in spite of all the media development since the late 19th Century. Considering how the aristocracy and royalty acted in Europe hundreds of years ago, I don't think the basic stories of Cinderella and Snow White (minus the magic) are as farfetched as people might think. Now actually sleeping for a hundred years without aging (or however long it is in the non-Disney story) in the case of Sleeping Beauty would be more of a stretch for me, since no one has learned how to stop the principles of entropy in physical flesh, no matter how healthy we try to eat and how much exercise we do. Even if Sleeping Beauty and her royal family and court were kept air-conditioned in a hyper-clean environment and had their hair trimmed along with fingernails and toenails, along with intravenous feeding with special nutrition, it still would not have eliminated all the effects of aging. With Snow White sleeping an enchanted sleep - perhaps a short coma of some kind - that would be somewhat more believable, as even today we hear about people regaining consciousness in the morgue. (But no one wants to hear "Snow White In the Morgue" ugh!). Hope this answers your question.

Yes, I believe they are real!
Any fairytale told enough times by a true believe becomes true with time! If enough people believe in fairytales and happy endings than you never know what amazing things can and will occur! Belief from one person is all it takes!
Imagination should start in childhood, and It should carry on into adulthood!
And asking why the grass is green would actually be a very good question. I'll bet that there are quite a few people that wouldnt even know the correct answer.

Yes, but they all had issues and their stories were heavily romanticized. Cinderella actually had multiple personality disorder. Her personality was a maid by day and a princess by night. Sleeping Beauty had narcolepsy. Snow White was narcissistic and had codependency issues, not to mention horrible food allergies. Poor girl was also allergic to the sun, hence her pale skin. Prince Charming was gay. He was actually more of an enabling caretaker to these ladies than a lover. His lover was Happy (aka the Gay Dwarf), one of the seven dwarves.

Probably not. Cinderella maybe but Sleeping Beauty and Snow white or probably not based on anyone.

Look they WERE real but like all stories myth is different from reality. They were probably were some average princesses paying money to guys to write about them into log books.
Sleeping beauty was a farmer's daughter who accidently pissed off her step mother, run away and met up with this bandit tribe called the "Dwarfs" - there were seven of them.

Doubtful, those are from the Black Forest fairy tales. They warned children about the dangers of the foest and talking to strangers. For instance, did you know that Little Red Riding Hood is warning against talking to strangers but also sexual preditors.

well they portray situations and human desire for a happy ending. Stuff like the poor girl becoming a princess, a cursed girl saved by Prince Charming and so on have always had success

Yes, in plays--those are real people acting out those fun fictitious stories. But there is no one Cind, SW or SB ,,,it is just a fun story to tell and tell again. Don't you love fairy tales. I do.

Yea, and I hear there are several Jesuses too, but all of them have been committed and sent away somewhere to protect the public!
