I generally have faith in the writers, but I am not a big fan of Frozen. I personally think, the film is overrated. So, introducing the characters onto OUaT feels like a cheap gimmick.

I can certainly see why you would think that, and it's a sentiment I've seen expressed in other places.

But this is the same kind of talk that was going on when Aurora, Phillip and Mulan were announced. And those characters are now loved by a large number of fans. (I know you're not a fan of them, Choc, but you see my point)

The writing team on this show is in the wonderful position of being able to pick and choose what stories and characters they want. They love "Snow White", so they're doing a retelling of that story. They love Frozen, so we'll be seeing those characters. But what is Frozen, anyway, besides a Disney telling of the "Snow Queen"? :) Yeah, they're using the Disneyfied names and traits of those characters, but I don't think they're going to just... transplant Anna, Kristoff, and Elsa straight from the movie. That's not what they do.

They don't, really. They change things. For Snow, her name is that because she was born in winter, while in the cartoon it was because of her skin (?). I'm sure they'll add twists into it (like the twin swap thing with David) and make it original.
