After all that's what Adam and Eddy said: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/21/once-upon-time-merida-season-5-spoilers We can't quite say that, because as much as Adam and Eddy wish that the movies worked into the show's canon perfectly, they don't, which is why we need a statement that says something more like they are "adapted from," or "based on."
