As Old as Time: A Twisted Tale

Product Information

If you could change your fate, would you? Merida understands that as princess of Clan DunBroch, she has certain obligations—but that doesn't mean she has to like it. Especially when one of those obligations means losing her freedom by becoming betrothed to a man she has never met. Merida balks at this tradition, but her mother Queen Elinor insists that Merida must do this to embrace her role as future queen.

So when an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship presents itself, Wendy makes a deal with the devil. But Never Land isn't quite the place she imagined it would be. Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help.

I think my favorite part, though, was how the author wrapped up all the plotholes from the movie and answered all the questions. One of the biggest ones being that the curse on the prince wasn't very fair. Shows: House of Mouse • Once Upon a Time • Once Upon a Time in Wonderland • Sofia the First • Chibi Tiny Tales

Tale as old as time… Wie steht ihr zu den Disney-Realverfilmungen? Ich war anfangs skeptisch, aber dann hat mich „Die Schöne und das Biest“ binnen Sekunden vom Gegenteil überzeugt. Ich meine, Emma Watson als Belle?! It just doesn’t work. Much like the fact I’m supposed to like a woman who cursed an eleven year old spoiled little boy and then…well, then regurgitate the screenplay which while simple enough in it’s Disney form was enjoyable because you know great voice actors/animation and Alan Menken songs. Not so much here. Season One: Getting the Bugs Out • Mudder's Day • Fowl Weather • The Prophet Motive • Much Abu About Something • My Fair Aladdin • To Cure a Thief • Never Say Nefir • Raiders of the Lost Shark
