Plus Maleficent might be a well permission from the admins to say the word? On the serious side, Shrek-verse and OUAT-verse has a LOT in common. Here are some of it:

1. the are both fairy tale retellings. (shrek=sleeping beauty [sort off], OUAT=various, primarily Snow White)

2.Characters from classic fairytales appears on both shows. (FairyTale Princesses, pinocchio, rumplestiltskin, the wolf disguised as granny [the wolf was red in OUTA] and more...)

3. Both universe shows that characters in fairy tales live in the same world/realm/universe.

4. True Love and True love's kiss.

5. Bad-ASSery (especially fron Donkey!)

6. Both has unlikely heroes. Emma was unbelieving and doubts herself and is a bit broken (because of the orphan thing, Neal abandoning her and giving up Henry) when the series starts while Shrek, well, is an ogre, which is considered as a monster, doubts himself, has anger management issues and doesn't believe he will have a happy ending because he's an ogre.

And the list may go on. We could actually say that OUAT and Shrek may be parrallel Fairy Tale universes. :)
