Once Upon a Time Is Basically Disney Fan Fiction Now
Much like Grimm, I know several people who enjoy Once Upon a Time. Also much like Grimm, I haven’t seen a minute of it, so rather than get shit wrong, I’ll just post this promo for season 2 and shut my mouth. The Mary Sue says one of the new people in the trailer is Sleeping Beauty, and one of them is Mulan (I’m pretty sure I can guess who that is, though), which I’m pretty sure means someone at the show is making use of Disney’s ownership of ABC. Someone call me if Tron shows up. Yes, I know Tron isn’t technically a fairy tale, but you all should know to call me whenever Tron shows up anywhere.
