However, for some reason, crossing Frozen, and more specifically The Snow Queen, had a nice flow, and it did not feel forced (or at least not nearly as much).

Of the 3 "Queens of Darkness" that are crossing over, my biggest concern is for Cruella. Don't get me wrong, 101 Dalmations was a favorite book of mine growing up (I think I still have it lying around somewhere), but it's not a fairy tale in the way that Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, or the Little Mermaid were.

Handled just right, it could work, but it's going to really need the right sort of twist. On the bright side, just from the Pics I've seen, I like the way they are taking Cruella visually. I personally like that they have her hair in what I would consider a proper (and attractive) style, while maintining the Black and White aspect which is signature for Cruella. Victoria really pulls that look off quite well. The Oz arc was a disaster in my opinion. I know there are people who think that it was amazing, but it was just too quick and the whole "Charming losing his courage" thing was so dumb I wanted to barf (The Tower was one of the worst episodes, by far, actually). The Frozen arc is better, but I still would have liked less cheesy references (Cough*Premiere*cough) and a wardrobe change for Elsa (How can she walk in that thing? Teyilia, you must know!). It was better than I expected, though, since I expected it to be absolutely terrible (And the premiere pretty much ripped off the movie, but I am able to look past that now).

And yeah, Cruella is my only concern for this upcoming arc. My dad actually called me after he watched the promo for "heroes and Villains" and said "WHAT? Seriously? Cruella kills DOGS! How is she going to work AT ALL in OUAT?????" I for one will tell you that it is FAR EASIER to swim in it then run in it. However, once you get moving in the dress {which is dang comfy let me tell you!} Its actually pretty easy. The only problems I had when I first got it was people stsepping on my cape and train. otherwise moving around is pretty easy for me. {Speaking here that when I wear it I am completely barefoot all the time; unless I got her flats {which I do, seen in Fall when Elsa is thrown to the sand on the beach when the chest arrives}}
