The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde: MC - Activity: the Swallow, IC - Manipulation: the Happy Prince, OT -Fixed Attitude, RT -Situation
The Birthday of the Infanta by Oscar Wilde: MC - Situation: the Dwarf, IC - Fixed Attiude: the Infanta, OT - Manipulation; RT - Activity
Beauty and the Beast (original): MC - Situation(?): Beauty, IC - Fixed Attitude(?): the Beast, OT - Manipulation?, RT - Activity
The Frog Prince: the same
The Puss in Boots (original): MC - youngest son of a miller, IC - Puss in Boots
The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen: MC - Activity(?): Gerda, IC - Manipulation(?): Kai

Not sure what “original” Beauty and the Beast you mean, but the 1946 film is analyzed on the Dramatica site:

For the 1989 Disney film of The Little Mermaid, which I think is mostly a complete story (you have to give it a break for its short running time), Ariel’s father King Triton is definitely the IC, with maybe a period where Sebastien the crab (as the King’s agent) takes on that role. And Ariel is Steadfast while King Triton Changes. (But I’ve heard the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale is quite different so it certainly makes sense it could have a different IC.)

Don’t know the others enough to comment.

I think about all kind of fairy tales. I just made some random examples…
However I think “The Happy Prince” is a full GAS story.
