Snow WhiteABC has put up a new show that incorperates our favorite fairy tales from our childhood. Once Upon a Time premiered in September of this year and has surprised viewers with the amount of content and visual effects. In this article, we will go over some of the characters Once Upon a Time covers and how well they did with the story.

Cinderella

“The price of gold” is the name of this episode in Once Upon a Time. The story of how Cinderella gets to the ball is portrayed differently in this show. Instead of a fairy godmother who turns a pumpkin into a carriage, Rumpelstiltskin turns up and strikes up a deal with Cinderella. In exchange for a chance at the prince’s hand, Cinderella will give Rumpelstiltskin an unknown reward. What she doesn’t know is that Rumpelstiltskin desires the one thing she cannot give- her first born!

Snow White

Snow White - Once Upon a Time
Perhaps the best part of this tale is the story of Snow White. Typically, there is not much information about Snow White in the storybooks. All she does is sing songs, clean after the dwarves, and eat an apple. In Once Upon a Time, Snow and Prince Charming have a much larger role. The way these two lovers meet is not through the typical singing at the well. Snow actually steals from Prince Charming (who calls himself James) in order to get enough money to escape from her evil stepmother. After James captures Snow, they begin the journey of falling in love.

The Modern World

The entire fairy tale land is sent to StoryBrooke Maine. Their memories of their lives are wiped and time ceases to stop. Basically, there are not any happy endings in our world. Snow White’s daughter, Emma mangaed to escape this curse when she was a baby. Now she is 26 and has returned to Storybrooke to try to set things straight.
