Yeah, actually, it is so. Since the ending pretty much confirmed he had written the original tale (even having a voice-over during the ending of said episode describe who he is and his role in the story's existence), that makes it very clear that, at the very least, the events of the series and the original film took place in the mid-1830s (the series took place at least a year prior to the original film). That's confirmation, as Hans Christian Andersen's presence made the time period far too specific.
