I was simply pointing out the release schedule. I don't think anything but Frozen was marketing, since Once isn't about Disney but literature and fairytales. We do know they sort of thrown Frozen in there since they said so. I don't think we'll get Aladdin storyline because we shouldn't because that was the whole point of Once in Wonderland. That show was Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking glass, and Alice and Cyrus were similar to Aladdin and Jasmine. Aladdin arc isn't necessary because we had a spinoff featuring their villain, a sultan, and genies. It'll be repetitive to do that. I know there are some parallels, but Alice and Cyrus are not Aladdin and Jasmine in many ways, and the fact that Jafar was not killed makes me think that is because he will be on the main show. My personal theory is that Aladdin finds Jafar's bottle during the missing year, and Jafar manipulates him in an atempt to free himself from the bottle. Either Aladdin or Jasmine becomes the genie, and Jafar is free, but lies low until an opertunity opens up in Storybrooke in Season 5. Yeah, I actually hope Jafar comes over since he's one of my top villains on this show. Aladdin and Jasmine could (or just Jasmine) rule Jafar's father's sultanate since he's dead with no heirs. Although, we haven't had many male villains for an arc, Jafar is outclassed magically by everyone else. So, maybe he'll be a decent villain. He stood out in Wonderland due to ruthlessness and his amped power (Him + Amara via staff). He'll have ruthlessness, but his story and everything shone through on Wonderland.
