    Recently saw PRINCESS BRIDE on video; it was my niece and DD favorite fairy tale. Do you think they will do an homage to PRINCESS BRIDE?

    Not sure if they could ever do the character as it’s not a Disney production but I did love it when Rumple used the good old “as you wish” line during Skin Deep. Mo told him to get out of his castle and Rumple replied “As you wish” right before Belle stopped him from leaving. Can’t remember if that line has been used more than once though.

    Rumple also said, “I’m not looking for ‘twu wuv’…,” and then went on to say the most hysterical line on the show, “…I’m looking for a caretaker for my rather large estate.” I don’t think it was meant as a euphemism, but the majority of us Rumple/Gold fans sure took it that way.

    Say “twu wuv” to anyone and they’ll probably start reciting the wedding ceremony from that movie. Argh, I loaned the movie out months ago and haven’t gotten it back. I really have an urge to watch it.

    I think they could do the Princess Bride. I mean, there’s already non-Disney fairytales included (Lancelot, King Midas, Frankenstein).

    I’d think that The Princess Bride is too modern a story to work on this show. The book the movie is based on was released in 1973. Oz and Neverland are from stories originating at the start of the 1900s, but I wouldn’t think that something as late as ’73 would qualify. I guess technically it could, because ’73 was still before the curse brought them to our world, so that story could have happened in FTL past, but I think that it’s too modern a convention to fit. You think of The Princess Bride, and you flashback to the 80s, not the 1800s. I think the couple of nods they’ve given it with the lines already mentioned in this thread was K&H’s way of including it, because they don’t intend to actually use the whole story.
