Also, while they may not necessarily be able to bring in Shrek (nor should they), they could still use the Curse that was cast on Fiona as part of a plot line. Someone that is a beautiful princess by day and a monster at night could work rather well if done correctly.

Something that would make me stop watching OUAT is if they brought the characters from that ungodly piece of filth Dreamworks cooked up to make the children think its ok to act vile and disgusting.

But yes is love to see the Always Together Eternally Apart curse come into play somehow. One a bird by day the other a wolf by night. Maybe have Rumple be who cursed them. Epic! Shrek is actually based on a picture book, believe it or not, so Dreamworks can't take all the blame. lol For proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrek! I would love it if Once ended up adapting the original book, then. It would be such a shady move and it would cause scandals and drama and shady interviews! I'm so here for this! There's no better promotion than a feud. From the wiki link given above:

The rights to the books were originally bought by Steven Spielberg in 1991, before the founding of DreamWorks, when he thought about making a traditionally animated film based on the book.

So I don't think OUAT will even be able to use the Shrek book version either.

Ladyhawke (1985) would be a great story for OUAT, however, it is a Fox/Time Warner production so I think it would be unlikely that ABC/Disney would be able to get the rights. I'm not holding my breath for anything written after 1960, unless Disney already has rights for it.
