NYCC 2014: ‘Once Upon a Time’ Brings Our Favorite Fairytales to Life

It’s awesome to see our favorite fairy tales come to live on our televisions every week, but it’s even better to see them in person!

The Once Upon a Time panel on Friday was filled with some of our favorite fairytale characters, including some Elsas, Evil Queens, and even a Captain Hook.

Fans were treated to a special screening to the next episode of the magical series. While we don’t want to spoil the episode for the fans of the show, we can say that fans should expect an extra Frozen surprise and, for fans of Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, a special someone will be coming in as well.

Afterwards, fans were able to talk with the show’s creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz and the show’s leading lady, Jennifer Morrison.

Kitsis and Horowitz reassured Frozen fans to not be afraid about what happens in the show and what might happen in Frozen 2. 

“I think as far as whatever they do with the sequel, it’s Anna and Elsa coming to Storybrooke and the story you’re gonna see in full is very much around mythology as we teased tonight, so I think that we’re gonna see the story develop in it’s own Once Upon a Time way.”

The duo also confirmed that we will be seeing more of Hook’s and Rumplestiltskin’s relationship, and Emma and Hook’s first official date.

“It will not be at Granny’s,” they joked.

They also stated that we will be going back in time and seeing more of the character’s past, especially Belle.

“We’re gonna meet Belle’s mom and we’re gonna see why she became a hero.”

Morrison talked about her scene in the first episode of the season and how hard it was for her to pretend to be cold during hot weather.

“I heard from Steve Coleman that they originally wanted to shoot it in a meat locker but he said ‘I want you guys to be there when you tell Jenn that she’s going to have to shoot it in a meat locker.’”

During the fan Q&A, many of them were hoping to hear good news about more Frozen characters coming to Storybrooke but fans might be disappointed that one will not be joining the cast.

“I don’t believe that we will be seeing Olaf. But we will be meeting other people from the world of Frozen.”

Once Upon a Time is on ABC Sundays at 8/7c.
