Once Upon a Time

Disney

Tonight was the second episode of Once Upon a Time, the new fairy tale inspired show from the creative minds at Disney and ABC. The premise is interesting, the Evil Queen has cursed all of the fairy tale characters to lives in our world with no happy endings. None of the characters remember who they were, and all of their lives have been changed, and not for the better.

The first show told the story of what brought everyone into this unfortunate situation. The second gave more behind the scenes of how the Evil Queen enacted the curse that brought the characters to our world. It also introduced the Once Upon a Time version of Maleficent, who wasn't nearly as frightening as the one in the animated Disney film Sleeping Beauty. The next episode will give more insight into how Prince Charming and Snow White came together.

So far, I like it. The characters are interesting and engaging. I want to know more about them and what history brought them into their current troubles. The costumes from the fairy tale scenes are fantastic and I look forward to seeing what else the designers have created. In all, it's a show worth watching.
