ABC renewed the series for a second season,[5] which is scheduled to air on Sundays beginning in Fall 2012.[citation needed]

Production

Conception

Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis conceived the show in 2004, prior to joining the writing staff of Lost, but wanted to wait until that series was over to focus on this project.[6]

The idea is to take these characters that we all know collectively and try to find things about them that we haven't explored before. Sometimes it's a story point, sometimes it's a thematic connection, sometimes it's a dilemma they face in both worlds that is similar. We are not generally retelling the exact same story as the fairy tale world.

— Executive producer Adam Horowitz[7]

Eight years previous to the Once Upon a Time pilot (the two had just completed their work on Felicity, in 2002), Kitsis and Horowitz became inspired to write fairytales out of a love of "mystery and excitement of exploring lots of different worlds."[8] They presented the premise to networks, but were refused because of its fantastical nature.[9] The two learned from their time on Lost to look at the story in a different way,[9] that "character has to trump mythology";[7] they expanded, "as people, you've got to see what the void in their heart or in their lives is to care about them ... For us, this was as much about the character journeys and seeing what was ripped from them in coming to Storybrooke – going at it that way as opposed to making it the 'break-the-curse show.'"[10]

Despite the comparisons and similarities to Lost, the writers intend them to be very different shows.[9] To them, Lost concerned itself with redemption, while Once Upon a Time is about "hope".[11] Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof aided in the development of the series as a consultant, but had no official credit for the pilot.[12][13] To differentiate the storytelling from what the audience already knew, the writing staff decided to begin the pilot with the end of the typical Snow White fairytale.[10] Themes concerning family and motherhood were emphasized, in contrast to the focus on fatherhood in Lost. Kitsis and Horowitz sought to write strong female characters, rather than the classic damsel in distress. Horowitz stated their desire to approach each character the same way, asking themselves, "How do we make these icons real, make them relatable?"[9]

The pilot is meant to be the "template of the series".[8] Kitsis confirmed that every week will contain flashbacks between both worlds,[7] as they "love the idea of going back and forth and informing what the character is missing in their life."[14] The writers' desire to present a "mash up" of many small characters can be seen in a scene of the pilot, in which there is a war council featuring Geppetto, Pinocchio, and Grumpy. Horowitz elaborated, "One of the fun things for us coming up with these stories is thinking of ways these different characters can interact in ways they never have before."[9]

The show also has a similar premise to Bill Willingham's comic series Fables, to which ABC bought the rights in 2008, but never made it past the planning stages.[14] Horowitz and Kitsis have "read a couple issues" of Fables but state that while the two concepts are "in the same playground", they believe they are "telling a different story."[14]

Casting

Horowitz stated that everyone they initially wanted cast in the series accepted their offered role after being sent a script.[8][9] Ginnifer Goodwin was cast as Snow White,[15] who appreciated that she would be playing a strong character that was fleshed out for the audience. The actress had just completed her work on the series Big Love, and was looking for a new project; she turned to television after film scripts failed to interest her. Having said previously in interviews that she would love to play Snow White, Goodwin called her acceptance of the Snow White role "a no-brainer."[16] Both Kitsis and Horowitz are self-described big fans of Big Love, and wrote the part of Snow White with Goodwin in mind.[9]

Joshua Dallas, who plays Prince Charming, was pleased the writers took "some dramatic license" with his character, believing the prince had become more real. He explained, "Prince Charming just happens to be a name. He's still a man with the same emotions as any other man. He's a Prince, but he's a Prince of the people. He gets his hands dirty. He's got a kingdom to run. He has a family to protect. He has an epic, epic love for Snow White. He's like everybody else. He's human."[16]

Jennifer Morrison was hired for the part of Emma Swan.[17] The actress explained her character as someone who "help[s] this kid who seems like he's a little bit emotionally dysfunctional", but noted that Emma does not yet believe there is a fairytale universe.[16] Ten-year old Jared Gilmore, known for his work on Mad Men, took the role of her son, Henry.[17]

The role of the Evil Queen/Regina went to Lana Parrilla.[18] She explained the character, "There's always two stories being told when playing Regina. There's the threat of her knowing she's an evil queen and then there's just the pure simple fact that the biological mother has stepped into her world and the threat of losing her son is just enormous. That's a fear that I think any adopted mother would have. I think that's going to really help the audience relate to Regina in some level."[16]

The role of Rumpelstiltskin was given to Robert Carlyle;[19] it was written with Carlyle in mind, though the writers initially thought he would never accept the part.[7] Horowitz recalled Carlyle's prison sequence, which was the actor's first day on the set as "mind-blowing ... You could see Ginny actually jump, the first time he did that character. It was fantastic!"[8] The writers offered the part of the Blue Fairy to recording artist Lady Gaga, but never heard back from her management staff.[7]

For the second season, Meghan Ory as Ruby (Red Riding Hood)[20] and Emilie de Ravin as Belle[21] will join the regular cast. New supporting characters for the second season include Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), played by Sarah Bolger,[22] and Mulan, played by Jamie Chung.[23]

Allusions

As a nod to the ties between the production teams of Once Upon a Time and Lost, the new show contains allusions to Lost, and is expected to be a continuing theme throughout the series.[14] For example, many items found in the Lost universe, such as Apollo candy bars, Oceanic Airlines, and MacCutcheon Whisky, can be seen in Once Upon a Time.[24] The town clock was stuck at 8:15, an allusion to Flight 815 from the Lost universe. An Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk #3 comic read by the character Henry in episode 9 was written by Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof. Also on display in Rumplestiltskin's castle was the scythe featured near the end of the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, albeit colored differently. In episode 8 the true name of "The Dark One" is Zoso which is also one of the symbols in the album Led Zeppelin IV.[24]

The show, as a production of Disney-owned ABC, contains multiple allusions to the Disney versions of the stories that form the basis for the series. Snow White's dwarfs, unnamed in traditional versions of the story, here have the names they were given in the Disney film. Similarly, Sleeping Beauty was cursed by an individual named Maleficent, again the name used in the 1959 Disney film for the wicked fairy godmother that lacked a name in many other versions. Geppetto's fairy friend is called The Blue Fairy as in the 1940 Disney film, which is based on The Adventures of Pinocchio, rather than The Fairy with Turquoise Hair, and his conscience figure is called Jiminy Cricket rather than "the Talking Cricket", as in Carlo Collodi's novel.

Another allusion to the Disney universe is the name of Archie's Dalmatian, "Pongo", in reference to one of the main characters in One Hundred and One Dalmatians. The Genie of the Lamp claims to hail from Agrabah, the central Location in the Disney animated film, Aladdin. When Snow White first meets Grumpy, he can be heard whistling the main chorus of "Heigh Ho" from the Disney film version of Snow White. Towards the beginning of "Heart of Darkness" as she sweeps the dwarfs' cottage, Snow White is heard humming "With a Smile and a Song", another song from the Disney film.[25]

In the episode "Skin Deep", the hat worn by Mickey Mouse in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" from Disney's 1940 film Fantasia can be seen on display in Rumplestiltskin's castle. Also in this episode a tea cup with a chip in it is an allusion to the Chip character from Beauty and the Beast, an ornate clock as a reference to Cogsworth and a candelabra in reference to Lumière. The florists truck is also named "Game of Thorns" referencing both roses, and the new series Game of Thrones. The costuming and the character of Gaston were also a nod to the Disney animation. Another reference to Disney came in "What Happened to Frederick" where Henry is given Space Paranoids, a reference to the film Tron, whose logo can also be seen in Henry's lunchbox in "The Stranger". In "An Apple Red as Blood" The shot of the apple falling out of Snow White's hand is reminiscent of the shot in Disney's original Snow White.

The episode "Hat Trick" contained numerous nods to Alice in Wonderland, many of which are specific to the original story rather than the Disney version. One of the memorable ones is when Mary Margaret overpowers the Hatter with the first thing that comes to hand, which happens to be a croquet mallet identical to the ones depicted in the Disney film. In the episode "The Stranger", when Pinocchio and Geppetto are on a raft in a storm, they are being chased by a giant whale, referencing the whale Monstro in the 1940 Disney film Pinocchio, whereas in the Carlo Collodi story it was a great white shark. In the same episode the Mad Hatter's name, Jefferson, alludes to the 1960s psychedelia band Jefferson Airplane who had a hit record with the Alice in Wonderland inspired "White Rabbit".

Opening sequence

Beginning with the second episode, the opening sequence that appears below the show's title features a mythical creature, person, or an item that is tied into the episode.

Music

Mark Isham composed the series' theme and music. On February 14, 2012, an extended play album featuring four cues from the score was released by ABC Studios.[26]. On May 1, 2012, a full-length 25-track soundtrack album with five different album covers was released by Intrada Records.[27]

Setting

The actual spread and scope of the Enchanted Forest is not currently known. So far in the series, it has been hinted that there are several kingdoms and lands that are beyond the scope of the Enchanted Forest. Established realms in the Enchanted Forest include the one ruled formerly by King Leopold and now by the Evil Queen, King Midas' Kingdom, King George's Kingdom, Cinderella's Kingdom and one seemingly ruled by Belle's father. It was shown in "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree" that Agrabah is also a kingdom in this reality. There were also a few wars known as the Ogre Wars at different points in time, which had implications for many of the kingdoms. The effects of the Dark Curse are not fully known either, in that if the effect extended beyond the Enchanted Forest and into other realms of the fairy tale world.

Storybrooke, Maine, is depicted as a typical oceanside small town. Although it has a "trapped in time" factor (1980s-vintage cars on the street, and 1980s-vintage comic books for sale in the corner store), modern conveniences such as the Internet and TV broadcasts are available. It is established in several episodes, however, that residents affected by the curse are unable to leave the town limits of Storybrooke. A notable exception to this is Henry, who is able to leave Storybrooke to retrieve Emma from Boston in the pilot episode due to him not being part of the original curse. It is unclear at present what happens to the characters if they do leave. For characters that have attempted to leave, their cars break down and they get into some sort of danger. On one occasion, after Kathryn disappeared, the gym teacher can be seen driving away for no apparent reason suggesting that people do attempt to leave. Since Emma's arrival, the curse has begun to weaken, with clocks now moving forward and Regina's apple tree showing signs of spoilage.

The episode "Hat Trick" shows Wonderland of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It is suggested that other worlds or universes exist. It was also revealed in "An Apple Red as Blood" that it can be possible to retrieve an item from the Enchanted Forest and bring it to the present day, like the poisoned apple that Snow White bit into, that in turn was used for the apple turnover of which Henry took an almost fatal bite.

Reception

Critical reception

Several critics reviewed the series positively. On Metacritic, it was given a score of 66 out of 100 with "generally favorable reviews".[30] E!'s Kristin dos Santos cites the show as one of the five new shows of the 2011–12 season to watch.[31] Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe gave the show a "C+" grade commenting "From a pair of Lost producers, this is a love-or-hate proposition. The ambition is impressive, as it asks us to imagine Goodwin's Snow White and Parrilla's Evil Queen as moderns. But Morrison is a wooden lead, and the back stories – a random collection of fairy tales – don't promise to surprise."[32]

In a review from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, TV critic Gail Pennington hailed it as one of the "Most Promising Shows of The Fall" and, unlike Gilbert, had high marks for Morrison.[33] USA Today's Robert Blanco has placed the series on its top ten list, declaring that "There's nothing else on the air quite like it."[34] Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times preferred this series to another fairy-tale themed drama, Grimm, citing that the premise takes its time building up the charm and that the producer "has that part nailed". She also gave excellent reviews for Morrison's character: "Her Emma is predictably cynical and prickly – fairy-tale princess, my Aunt Fanny – but she's sharp and lively enough to keep audiences begging for 'just a few more pages' before they go to bed."[35]

Several feminist outlets were pleased with the show for its feminist twist on fairy tales. Avital Norman Nathman of Bitch stated that she liked the show for "infusing a feminist sensibility" into the stories.[36] Genie Leslie at Feministing commented that Emma was a "badass", that she liked how Emma was "very adamant that women be able to make their own decisions about their lives and their children", and how Emma was a "well-rounded" character who was "feminine, but not 'girly'".[37] Natalie Wilson from Ms. praised the show for a strong, "kick-butt" female lead, for including multiple strong women who take turns doing the saving with the men, for subverting the fetishization of true love, and for dealing with the idea of what makes a mother in a more nuanced fashion. Wilson went on to state about the lead: "Her pursuit of a 'happy ending' is not about finding a man or going to a ball all gussied up, but about detective work, about building a relationship with her son Henry, and about seeking the 'truth' as to why time stands still in the corrupt Storybrooke world."[38]

Ratings

The pilot episode was watched by 13 million viewers and received a 4.0 rating in Teens and Adults 18–49.[39] It was the season's highest-rated drama debut among Adults 18–49 and ABC's biggest debut in five years.[40][41] The show's next three episodes had consistent ratings every week with over 11 million viewers.[42][43][44] The series has become the #1 non-sports program with viewers and young adults on Sunday nights.[45]

The first season premiered as the top-rated drama series.[46]
