i didnt know once upon a time was supposed to be a disney thing until there was a bunch of screencaps and clips with frozen characters and that cold hard realization was equivalent to seeing a gifset of game of thrones where lord farquaad is just there and everyone’s like ‘oh yeah you know, game of thrones, the shrek spin off’ like thats normal
for some reason ‘game of thrones, the shrek spinoff’ is just unreasonably funny to me right now.
The cool thing about OUAT is that they pool their stories from aborted disney arcs. Like, the snow queen was what frozend was originally supposed to be, for example.
