Storybrooke on unelias pikkukaupunki, jonne kaikki tutut satuhahmot ovat pahantahtoisen kirouksen vuoksi jääneet jumiin kahden maailman väliin. Kun Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) täyttää 28, hän tapaa Henryn (Jared S. Gilmore), pojan, jonka hän antoi adoptoitavaksi 10 vuotta sitten. Henry luulee, että Emma on Lumikin tytär, joka tarinan mukaan voi murtaa kirouksen. Emma ei usko poikaa, mutta seuraa häntä Storybrookeen, jossa hän joutuu vastatusten Regina Millsin (Lana Parrilla) kanssa. Hän on Henryn adoptioäiti ja pojan mukaan itse paha kuningatar! (Walt Disney Nordic Fin.)

Once Upon a Time (2011)
A Disney, American Arabela, driven primarily by Carlyle’s Rumbur... Um, Rumplestiltskin and the Evil Mayor on the evil side and... and... And nobody at all on the good side. It has a lot of nits (production design that looks perhaps even worse that our domestic Czech pasteboard studio plays and cheap effects for effect’s sake) and slips (uneven episode quality, where the first really good one is episode seven, and the aforementioned lack of interesting main characters), but it all stands or falls (and it seems to be falling so far) on utter waste and lack of exploitation of the sturdy theme (it’s been proven to work in Bill Williams’ Fables, similar in many ways) and fairytale atmosphere, which is in short supply in this movie; which is criminal in view of the theme. Here and there it shines through, but mostly disappears soon after. Character names and magic alone is simply not enough. On the other hand, when it isn’t one of the dull, filler episodes to make up the numbers (and there are a lot of those), then as a family relax series it works; this applies to the first season, but season two completely gives up on any fairytales and becomes an attempt at a regular fantasy following the template of successful sagas of the past few years. And it doesn’t work at all and merely gets you asking questions like “What were the creators smoking when they wrote this?". Arabela is still much more original, playful and more fairytale-like, and simply better on all fronts. And isn’t nearly so slow-moving.
