Everyone knows the tales of Snow White and Prince Charming, Beauty and the Beast,
Cinderella, and even Little Red Riding Hood but what happens when those characters are
fused with the world we live in?
Once Upon a Time, directed by Adam Horowitz is a show revolving around a young woman
named Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) and her journey to understand her relevance
and importance to classic fairy tales.

Once Upon a Time, directed by Adam Horowitz is a show revolving around a young woman
named Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) and her journey to understand her relevance
and importance to classic fairy tales.
While celebrating her 28th birthday alone, she is greeted for the first time by her 10 year-old
son she gave up at birth, Henry Mills (Jared S. Gilmore). He begs her to take him home to a
town called Storybrooke so she can save the town from a curse. Emma is quite skeptical
when Henry claims every citizen in the town are characters from fairy-tales such as Snow
White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas). They can’t remember who they
are due to the curse cast by the Evil Queen, also known as Regina (Lana Parrila) or Henry’s
adoptive mother. She must save the town from the Evil Queen and the malevolent Ruplestilskin
(Robert Carlyle).

The casting in the show is perfect, not only do the actors look exactly like the characters
from fairytales, they fully transform into them and play the part. Another strong pursuit in this
show is the costume and make-up. In the scenes where they portray the actors as the fairy-tale
characters they look exactly as they do in the cartoon movies. The dresses Cinderella (Jessy
Schram), Snow White, and Belle (Emilie de Ravin) are made to look exactly like the well
known and iconic dresses worn in the cartoon movies. Also the make-up is done very well to
exaggerate the personality of each character, like the Evil Queen wearing heavy dark make-up
compared to Snow White wearing light mascara and blush on her cheeks. In addition, the
setting and the effects are phenomenal to fully recreate the castles to look extremely realistic.
Cinderella’s castle looked exactly like the one in Disney World.

Overall, I love this show, I started watching it about three weeks ago and I’m now almost
finished with season five. There is never a boring part in this show and watching the fairy-
tale characters live in our world is kind of amusing. All the elements such as the casting,
costume, and editing make this series like no other. This show helps with the morals of
making the right choices and having to face the consequences of the wrong choices.
Conclusively I would definitely rate this series as a good-good.
