I would not be surprised if there's a whole lot of people who don't consider something "fanfic" if it's based on a classic. See also Jane Austen sequels, Gone with the Wind sequels, etc.
There are also at least two authors on the list of authors who disapprove of fanfiction who have written fairy tale retellings, which is at least a different degree of the same thing (Orson Scott Card's Enchantment and Robin McKinley's... well, almost everything, but we'll start with The Outlaws of Sherwood and Beauty and Deerskin and...).
