ONCE UPON A TIME

Finished this teleplay from Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. 

It has a first act that grabs you.  Prince Charming and Snow White are having a child.  The Witch arrives placing a curse upon the land of Storybrooke.  No one remembers who they are. 

Their child though is sent off into our world as a last hope for survival.  It's been foretold that she will come back in time and save Storybrooke.

The teleplay is good.  It works well on the page.  However, I wouldn't have put this in production.  It's too kiddish to make a splash as a television series.  Their best bet would've been to flesh it out as a feature. 

We'll see how well the premiere does.  I predict it won't find an audience.  Too grown up for kids.  Too juvenile for adults.
