"I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe
Keeper Of Tamara's Taser , Jafar's Staff, Kitsis’s Glasses , Ariel’s Tail, Dopey's Hat , Peter Pan’s Shadow, Outfit, & Pied Cloak,Red Queen's Castle, White Rabbit's Power To World Hop, Zelena's BroomStick, & ALL MAGICAnd I must say… I wouldn’t mind a sequel or two of this with more villain children and villains. As long as they (literally) step the song and dance up, I could easily look forward to this as a film franchise. Just have Andrew Lloyd Webber write all the dang songs though because really Maleficent’s song is just great.

His actor did not do the role justice, especially compared to Naveen Andrews on OUATiW. What I don’t understand is how they empathize Jafar being a thief, when aside from plotting to get the lamp, stealing was not one of his known character traits. It was actually Aladdin who was regularly stealing stuff in the original movie. Speaking of Aladdin, it was odd that they didn’t show him, Jasmine or their offspring in this movie,; despite Jafar and his son being involved.
I saw lots of casting information for other Disney characters (Rapunzel and Flynn and their child, Aladdin and Jazz and their child) but I suppose it was nothing? Or it didn’t make the final cut?
As for Jafar, yeah, no. Just no."I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe

If any of you mods see two versions of this, feel free to delete this one)
I too have just finished the film. I was gonna do a review but I shan’t for those who still wish to be unspoiled. But I will share thoughts:
– it was actually not THAT bad. I liked it more than I was expecting. I still feel there was TONS of stuff this movie SHOULD have done. This movie, with a just a little bit more work, could easily have been a hit. I’ve sen better, but I have also seen worse.
– The songs were a bit lacking for me. EXCEPT MALEFICENT’S SONG!!!!!! I loved the stage/broadway look of it, and i LOVED the wicked reference where she twirls her staff around like Glinda did during the Elphie/Glinda fight scene lol But yeah, Mal’s song and one other was good, and the final one wasnt bad and the choreography of the last song was a lot better.
– I love how the disney villain characters were rendered in this. Well most of them. They had personaility and were not carbon copies, of just generically evil. Kristin had this comedic evil diva flair to Maleficent (“Evilicious Queen!”, Raquel was absolutely cray-cray as Cruella. Cruella literally got the first laugh out of me in this movie, and the evil queen was funny as well (“Bitter! Party of one! Bitter! Party on one!” LOL) Jafar on the otherhand was underused and didnt even have the same personality or really ANY personality. I think his son, Jay, would have been a better fit as Aladdin’s child. I was very disappointed about Jafar considering he is one of my top two fave villains.
– The effects were awesome. And yes, Maleficent’s green smoke thing REALLY looked like it was taken out of OUAT and her dragon form looks a lot like her portrayal on Once, but ya know, better.
– I felt the movie needed a bit more closure, personally. We never find out what happens to the other villains left on the island (odd considering they are the parents of the main characters) we never really get some….information on Maleficent’s ya know, fate. I know we know what becomes of her, but i atleast would have liked one final scene where we see the little lizard grow just a tiny bit or something. And also Mal (the daughter) said there was more but the movie ends. Considering disney is making a sequel, i guess i can let it slide but ehhh. It just felt incomplete.Honestly, I would watch this movie again and I did enjoy it and I do genuinely recommend it.
And I slightly hope this is just a “rough cut” and not what will actually appear on tv. A lot of little tiny editing and continuity issues I noticed plus just some things I didn’t like about how they did some things (like Mal’s song on the lake including flashbacks to the scene we LITERALLY JUST SAW!!!!!!!!! IT WAS WEIRD!!!!!!)"I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe
Keeper Of Tamara's Taser , Jafar's Staff, Kitsis’s Glasses , Ariel’s Tail, Dopey's Hat , Peter Pan’s Shadow, Outfit, & Pied Cloak,Red Queen's Castle, White Rabbit's Power To World Hop, Zelena's BroomStick, & ALL MAGICI really feel that if this were a theatrically released Disney film, itd be fantastic. As a Disney CHANNEL film, I have little hope.
Thanks for the info though, WR. I’ll probably download it if I can find it.
Maybe ill post a review (spoiler blocked ofcourse) if I do fid it."I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe

But the hat does look like Dopey’s hat. But I dont think Dopey dresses that way.

So perhaps it was Cebereus? Isnt that the three headed dog in Greek Myth? Or perhaps it was a gorgon, although unlikely. Also, in the episode where Snow faced the Gorogon was that not the episode she used Excalibur? Or maybe I am wrong but hmmmm..
Its probably the Darkness trying to steal people’s light or whatever it feeds off of. Regina says “take mine instead” so I am assuming.
Also who is that person standing in the background in those pics with everyone standing around Sean? Is that Henry?
Emma’s outfit looks nice. I like the seriousness of it. Which I was skeptical about at first. She looks like she means business.
I really hope we see past Dark Ones this seasons for some reason. I just feel like we will. Obviously we have to see the first Dark One probably and Morgana probably is that."I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe

I am guessing the darkness gets released and Regina tried to sacrifice herself but the others join in and spilt the darkness by taking a bit into themselves. So now we have Dark Ones instead of aDark One."I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe

– the ipad in place of a book was brilliant!
– the start was interesting….the rest though… >>
– So. it took 7 years for the beast to marry belle? WHAT? That’s cray considering TLK and all. You’d think they got hitched the next day?
-Also, why is Beast so uppity about the villains? Sure I get some of them are extremely powerful and all but his villain was Gaston who wont even be in this film. Unless Mal was the one who cursed him, I don’t see why he had the reaction he had.
– Mal’s (the daughter, I mean) outfit looks terrible. The other kids are dressed fine but I think they should have gone a simpler route for her.
– That song made me want to not be alive anymore. Honestly, the lyrics were okay. Mostly. But that techno beat and that dance break was just horrible. Like I cannot even muster why that happened the way it happened, it just didn’t flow right to me, none of that song and dance. But whatevs.
I will watch for tons of reasons: I love Kristin Chenoweth and have faith her song will stil be golden. The graphics looks really cool. And I think that’s it."I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe
