Daisy T @Daisy76 Mar 12, 2026 Absolutely loved it! Clean show and love the different characters that come in on different seasons! My granddaughter loves this season (she’s 8). She loves Frozen and really enjoyed this and I don’t have to worry about bad language, just clean fun for the whole family. Not sure why some disliked it but to each their own. Wish they would bring this back with same main characters. See more Aiden B @aidenb002 Jan 5, 2026 Worst season of Once Upon A Time and that’s including season 7. The whole frozen subplot with Elsa and Anna is so corny. The other seasons work so well because they used traditional fairytales for foundation and not modern day Disney movies. Like why is cruella deville here? Yeah, she’s cool, but she isn’t even a fairytale character. The cheap costumes don’t help either. I will say that the snow queen was awesome and the actress portraying her is great. Jennifer Morrison and Lana Parillas performances are amazing too, as always, but that’s the only thing giving this season a half star.

Showing the character development of both without taking away from the main storyline, and in fact adding to it, Elsa and Anna are not only a segway into what's to come, but a great family dynamic that shapes the main characters into who they are the next season. See more Jan 27, 2021 Okay, so to all of the critics who didn't like this season, I have to say. They were probably using Frozen as a way of gaining some publicity but the season wasn't that bad. I'll admit it was Ouat's best season but it was pretty good. We learned more about Emma's past and about how she felt being a lonely kid alone in the foster system. Plus I think most of the fans would have been very upset if they had cut out such a huge fairytale completely out of the plot. I mean it's FROZEN how could you not put that in the storyline. It's basically the most popular Disney movie ever and it gave the writers a lot of things to mess around with because the movie wasn't (unlike many Disney movies) about romantic love i.e. man saves woman from something terrible. This let the writers mess with that storyline and apply it to Ouat. Part of why the show is so compelling is because of its strong female lead who still has that blond princess hair. So even though they could have done better with this season, it was pretty good and I think a lot of what people are saying isn't really valid. The second half of the season was better. We learned that Snow and Charming aren't completely hero's which makes their character more complex and interesting. Plus the romance with Hook and Emma was super interesting and it made me happy that Emma was finally starting to find love again after her trauma in season 3. Also the whole idea of sisters from the Frozen half of the season was really interesting because of the friendship between Emma and Elsa and how in some sort of weird twisted way it made a sort of sense which it what made it so interesting. That we as the viewers were think from the point of view of the villain and empathizing with her. The fact that the writers could make us do that means that it's really well written. Of course they've done that with every season but in the first season Regina had done so many terrible things by that point though even though we didn't completely hate her because of her past we still mostly hated her. Pan was complete evil and so we're the people working for him, and season 2 was a lot of important background info and Emma dealing with the realization of her past and what would now be her future as the savior. My point is we've never REALLY sympathized with the villain to that extent before. See more Read all reviews
