The Three Little Pigs cartoon showed up on a Disney Short in 1932.
As for fairy tales that turned into cartoons, there are probably more than one can count. Disney is not the only one around who have taken fairy tales and made them something entertaining for view on the big screen or the television.
From Hans Christian Anderson favorites to those Aesop Fables, children's stories have taken on a life of their own. Of course the original renditions of the stories came at the cost of distressed children Hansel and Gretel being left in the woods by their father, and dying or dead parents Bambi and The Lion King. The movie and cartoon industry wanted to make these stories more enjoyable and happily memorable for children.
Fairy tales were written literally to scare children straight. The times when these stories were written were terrible and dangerous. The Big Bad Wolf was the tax collector, Red Riding Hood had a wolf, too, and this one was willing to take every last ounce of food from the child (again a tax collector). Many times these original stories did not end well for the heroes or heroines of the stories, with children's lives being taken and other disasters befalling the tykes.
The Little Mermaid, a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale, was set to Disney standards, making for a beautiful happy ending. However, in the original version, the mermaid did not get the prince, and instead she found that she turned from a mermaid into a wind fairy who was granted the gift of immortality. Sometimes one must give up things in order to get something else they wish for.
