#Once #OUAT

Okay, so let me see if I get this straight.

Spoiler alert.

So, we go back to the original story of Rumpelstiltskin. He spun straw into gold for the promise of the first born of a woman who would end up marrying a king. So then we find out that said first born was actually Regina? And Cora was the woman for whom Rumple spun straw into gold?

Now, last season we find out that Regina is Snow White's evil step mother. Snow White is Emma's mother and Emma is Henry's mother. Henry is adopted and raised by Regina. So, if you take into account the fact that step mother is still mother, to an extent, that means that Regina was raising her own great grandson.

I get that they're throwing in all of the Disney animated movies ever made. I'm waiting for Aladdin and Jasmine to show up at some point, maybe Quasimodo and Esmeralda show up too? We haven't gotten to Ariel and Eric yet either. Let's see who they've done so far.

There was, obviously, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, they tackled Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio, and Alice in Wonderland. They technically covered Aladdin with the presence of the genie. This season they've gotten into Sleeping Beauty, Mulan, and The Sword and the Stone.

The non movies that they handled were Rumpelstiltskin, Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel.

There are movies that were covered in the upcoming episodes so I am going to leave those alone for now. We can wait and see what happens. The ones they have yet to do, as far as I can tell, are Peter Pan, Tangled, The Princess and the Frog, Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, The Jungle Book, Robin Hood, Pocahontas, Hercules, Tarzan, The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis, Lilo and Stitch, or Thumbelina. Of course I'm only listing the movies that could possibly be thrown into this amazing world they've created.

I love all the back stories. I love how they changed everything. How they made Gipetto a little bit selfish. They had Snow White stealing and taking care of herself in the forest instead of being helpless and ridiculous. I like how Rumpelstiltskin turns up in all kinds of stories. It's really cool how they have managed to connect the various fairy tale worlds together and I really can't wait to see what happens next.
