I think its personally because the pantomime's have extremely different characters or plots to the Disney films. Unlike aladdin or Peter Pan with only a few variations from the films, these two have many differences and not as many iconic panto characters like Widow Twankey or the Ugly sisters. Sleeping beauty the panto often only has one fairy as opposed to 3 like the film and Beauty and the Beast usually does away with any candlesticks and furniture, as well as 'Be our guest'. Just not a popular as pantos such as snow white or Cinderella.
