Is anyone else a fan of the ABC show “Once Upon a Time?”
I adore that show (though it’s a guilty pleasure because it’s incredibly corny), and I think it’s very relevant to Young Adult literature because it takes traditional children’s stories and tries to apply it to a modern, more mature and adult atmosphere. Some people don’t agree with me, because it does seem to be still very very silly. Regardless, I think the show is most interesting because Disney produces it. Not many people know that ABC and Disney are the same company, thus explaining just HOW Once Upon had the rights to change and play with classic tales and themes.
I’m a huge fan of that show, although the later seasons are trying to drive me up the wall. The whole Lily arc seemed way too contrived. The Peter Pan arc was the best in my opinion.
