OUAT – Disney’s Snow White Comparison to Once Upon A Time

We all know that ABC and Disney are part of the same mother company, so when Once Upon A Time was written, Disney gave them creative license to do what they pleased – either to create new story lines or use existing Disney connections to the show.

Snow White’s story is the central plot in the show, thus in past episodes, connections have been found to the 1937 cartoon version. This episode was no different – there are some distinct similarities found in the episode Heart of Darkness.

1. Two Snow Whites looking very similar

2. Scene with a blue bird and a broom

3. Happy’s Mug

4. The song from Snow White called With a Smile and a Song was used in both Snow White and Once Upon A Time. Snow White (1937) sings the song to calm her fears since she was frightened by the trees. And Snow (Once Upon A Time) hummed the same song while trying to lure the blue bird to its “death”.

(This similarity only applies to the first 15 seconds of the Once Upon A Time clip – Snow (1937) did not try to kill the bird. 🙂

Find any more similarities?

OUAT-August’s Secret To Henry; In How to Get Emma to Believe

3 Replies

August found Henry at Granny’s upset over Mary being suspected of Kathryn’s disappearance and possible murder. This is the conversation they had.

Henry: “She didn’t do it, why can’t people see that?”

August: “because, most people just see what’s right in front of them. I don’t think you can find the answers you want in the bottom of that mug.”

Henry: “Then Where?”

August: “That book in your bag. You know I’m a writer so I’m partial to finding my answers in the literary form.”

“Henry: “it’s just a book”

august: “is it?”

Henry: “Yeah”

August: “I think we both know that it’s not the case.”

Henry: what do you know about it

August: I know it’s A book of stories.

Henry: aren’t all books?

August: Story’s that really happen.

Henry: “You think my book is real?”

August: “As real as I am”

Henry: “How do you know?”

A: “Let’s just say that, I’m a believer. And I want to help others see the light, that my friend is why I’m here.

Henry: “but I already believe”

August: “I’m not here for you buddy, I’m here for Emma”

Henry: “So you want to get her to believe, why don’t you just tell her?”

August: “There are some people like you and me , we can go on faith,. But others like Emma they need proof. “

Henry: “last time I tried to look for proof I got trapped in a sinkhole”

August: “there are less dangerous places to look”

*August points to Henry’s book*

This made Henry realize that the only way he could get Emma to believe a little bit more was to find proof.

This where, he found the skeleton key ring he stole from Regina.

See other blog post for more about the Key Ring

‎

Henry also tricked Emma into using the key that opened Mary’s apartment door.

He made her believe, like August said she needed proof to believe.

This is also something else that was being said by Emma to Mary. She needed proof in order to believe that Mary did not kill Kathryn despite the proof was the heart that was in Mary’s jewelry box.

Emma needs proof in order for her to believe, all Henry has to do, Is keep on showing her instead of telling her, eventually she will believe on her own.

How do you think Henry or August could make Emma believe that everything in his storybook is true?

Where is Pinocchio? Is He a Wooden Puppet in Gold’s Pawn Shop?

Where is Pinocchio!?

When we first saw him he was underneath the war council’s table in the pilot episode, right beside Gepetto. We saw him with his wooden toy Whale.

We saw him again, helping Gepetto make the doors for the magic wardrobe in his shop.

When the curse took over the entire Fairytale kingdom, what happened to him?.

We learned from Marco (Gepetto) while he was fixing the cupboard doors in the sheriff’s office that morning Sheriff Graham let Emma out of jail. He mentioned how he had no children.

When everyone got sent to Storybrooke as part of the curse enacted by the queen, did Pinocchio stay a real boy and we haven’t seen him yet? or was he turned back into a puppet and he’s somewhere in Mr.Gold’s Pawn shop waiting to be found.

Where do you think Pinocchio is?
