ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
With the coming introduction of Sir Lancelot there is a possibility that he could be King Arthur also.
Grimm Fairy Tales continues to rewrite history when the story of the good and humble King Midas is retold in horrifying fashion.
Sirens are part of folklore and just because they are not part of the “cinderella” type fairy tale doesnt mean that they are not included in fairy tales from other countries.
Alice in Wonderland is also listed as a fairy tale, I am aware it was a book series by Lewis Carroll however it is still considered a fairy tale.
Mulan was borrowed from another culture and is based on a Chinese fairy tale or folk tale
that is more than 2000 years old.
I believe Dr. Whale is the Frog Prince because of the Grimm description of him and the fact that he said that Charming wasn’t his prince and wouldn’t be if he were already a prince.
“The frog prince, called Egon, lives with an old, retired king. A princess had rescued the frog prince in the original fairy tale, but he asked the witch to turn him back to a frog … as he found life with only one woman boring! The witch fullfilled his wish, and now he is looking for a woman (any woman) – day in, day out – who will kiss him.”
Also, Dr. Frakenstein wasn’t a fairy tale so it couldn’t be him.
