Its always incredibly tempting to hold onto anger, onto bitterness – especially when it seems like the world is going out of its way to bring you down. Nobody understands this feeling better than Regina. But we must always try our best to let go, and not let darkness win. As Regina says in “Quite A Common Fairy”, pick hope over anger, and choose love.

Another animated Disney film that starts with “Once Upon a Time”
BATB is basically a morality play teaching a lesson about not being selfish
Never judge a book by its cover. Books are Belle’s treasures.
Belle mentions she was reading a book about beanstalks and ogres.
Another theme is that reading makes you a hero.
The opening song that also serves as exposition of the story.
Gaston says he wants Belle because she’s beautiful, but there are other beautiful women in town, maybe he sees Belle for more than beauty?
The wolf chase scenes were chilling.
There is a classic horror film look to some of the scenes; the gate, the castle, etc.
The Beast entrance was scary, as well.
Belle breaks many stereotypes; She says no to marrying the strongest man, she reads, she wants adventure instead of staying at home.
Belle bold sacrifice – “Take me instead (of my father)”.
The Beast wants her to stay forever (like Rumpel said in OUAT).
Another classic horror story motif, the hunting party (or mob).
Lots of classic Battle (or Misunderstanding) of the Sexes moments; Men can’t eat or handle their temper properly.
The Be our Guest song was very Esther Williams and Busby Berkley pool or dancing number.

Even dishes, chairs and lamps have destinies.
We are shown an animated conflict resolution.
“If you didn’t…”
“If you had…”
“Thank you…for saving me”
“You’re welcome”
Ripping the shades of the windows.
He’s No Prince Charming.
Hunters are bad. At least that’s one of themes of the film is.
Thanks to Michelle and Jayne from the Disney Dream Girls Podcast for their thoughts http://disneydreamgirlspodcast.blogspot.com/
We’ve seen “Red” Riding Hood feel like she had to deny an important part of who she is – whether it’s her human side from her mother or her wolf side from Granny. Another example is Ariel afraid to tell Eric who she really is due to fear of rejection. The world often makes us feel like we have to hide the things that make us different. But we should always celebrate who we are, rather than reject it. It is what makes us unique that makes us special.

Review from Amazon:
It’s a diabolical thing about curses: Just as one is broken, another, even more sinister than the first, inevitably emerges to wreak further havoc… Experience the heart-pounding action and tantalizing suspense of ABC’s ONCE UPON A TIME: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON. The stakes are higher than ever following a narrow escape from the nightmare of Neverland and Peter Pan. A year after their amazing adventure, Emma and Henry are living in New York with no aware of their past history — until Hook shows up and jogs Emma’s memory with a magic potion. Once again, the “Savior” is called back to Storybrooke when a legendary villainess arrives in disguise to curse the town anew and exact an unspeakably cruel vengeance. Now, with Regina and Emma working together, the stage is set for an epic showdown between the Evil Queen and the Wicked Witch of the West! Add season 3 to your ONCE UPON A TIME collection and relive all 22 captivating episodes. Plus, access never-before-seen bonus features. Each time you watch, you’ll fall deeper under the spell of this irresistible series.
As we ponder what chilly trouble Elsa will bring to Storybrooke, what else can a Oncer do while we wait for Season 4 to being? Here are some ideas;
1. Rewatch the Once Upon a Time series. It’s great to go back and revisit Storybrooke, Boston, The Enchanted Forest, New York, again for the “first time”. Even though we know where a series is at the end of Season 3, it’s fun to see where things started and see how things all connect together (so far).
2. See and hopefully get a chance to meet and get a picture or autograph from an OUAT cast member at a convention (hopefully) near you: http://www.onceuponatimepodcast.com/cast2014
3. Enter the world of Cosplay: http://cosplaytutorial.com/index.php
4. Visit the town where Once Upon a Time is filmed. Note: There are no guarantees that you will see any filming, but if you are lucky and do, it is very, very cool. Note: Steveston is a lovely town and the people there are even lovelier, even if there is no OUAT filming going on.
5. Listen to Disney, Once Again Podcast during the Once Upon a Time hiatus http://www.onceuponatimepodcast.com/disneyonceagain
