This episode has many nods to the video game, Epic Mickey . While we were watching Sunday night my son said, “they are going to spill the ink”…and I’m like….how do you know that. Then he starts telling me about Mickey’s stolen heart and a paintbrush, paint and thinner that work very much like the magical pen and ink of the author. Then he mentions Yen Sid…and I’m like….seriously…why haven’t you mentioned this earlier. lol
Here is a quick synopsis of the Epic Mickey video game. In the game Mickey wields a magic paint brush (similar in concept to the magic pen) that can draw or erase objects in physical existence using paint and paint thinner. He can materialize object from sketches (think Cruella’s necklace, earrings).
In the game, Mickey enters Yen Sid’s workshop through a mirror and starts fooling around with Yen Sid’s desk. While fooling with the desk he spills paint and thinner and accidentally creates the Shadow Blot (who looks very much like Chernabog). To make a long story short through Mickey’s bumbling he ends up with more spillage. After he leaves the Shadow Blot enters a portal created by the paint/thinner mixture and takes the bottle of thinner with him. Yen Sid had created a model of the Cartoon Wasteland World…a ruined wasteland world for forgotten cartoon characters. The spillage gets on the model and creates the portal. Shadow Blot enters the portal and takes the bottle of thinner with him.
Many years later Mickey is abducted by the Shadow Blot and taken to the wasteland where he encounters Oswald Rabbit whose mind is twisted from jealousy of Mickey having all the fame while Oswald was forgotten (think Regina and Zelena). All the forgotten Wasteland Toons no longer have hearts of their own and while Mickey is there the Mad Doctor and Shadow Blot hatch a plan to steal Mickey’s heart.
There is a part where the cork sealing the jug/bottle with the thinner gets broken and the Shadow Blot escapes. Mickey ends up without his heart but as in all good stories…at the end Mickey’s heart is rescued and returned and Mickey and Oswald bond.

I noticed the dress the night it aired too, but not the shoes. It looks like they tried to make it look different with the sleeves but they could have tried harder. But then agan, it was only seen from afar so I guess they didn’t think people would notice. As usual, A&E underestimate the obsessiveness of their fans when it comes to things like this. We WILL notice!
You’ve got a good eye. I didn’t notice it until I went back and looked at Aurora to see if I could see her shoes. Perhaps they reused it but I wonder if it could be something more. The dress was just so there…right in the middle of the room and so obvious. It is a beautiful dress. Another connection between Aurora and Cora. When Zelena’s curse brought everyone back to the Enchanted Forest (when Aurora and Philip were having the gazebo picnic) Aurora had on a pearl necklace and the pearls were in the shape of hearts. I don’t know what it all means but there is still much we have not learned about Aurora and Cora and how Philip was extracted from the Netherworld.

It wouldn’t surprise me that they’re reusing costumes. Zelena’s dress in it’s not easy being green actually looks like one Regina wore in an earlier episode.
You are correct…it was Regina’s they showed Zelena taking it out of Regina’s wardrobe.
