7 Disney Characters We'd Love To See On Once Upon A Time

They may have many fairy tales covered, but there are some gaps in the Disney coverage in spots...

Once Upon A Time has never been afraid of throwing beloved Disney characters into the Storybrooke or Enchanted Forest. Here are seven that we hope someday - somehow - make an appearance.

Flynn Rider

Fans got a short glimpse of Rapunzel a while ago, but it wasn't enough. It'd be fun to not only bring her back, but throw this thief-turned-good into the mix. With a charming smile and a killer haircut, he'd fit right in with the lovely gentlemen already a part of the show.

And who wouldn't love to see him pal around with Hook and Charming?

Dream Casting:

Esmeralda

There may be no short of strong-willed female characters in Storybrooke, but if the show is looking to involve any new ones, Esmeralda might be the best choice. If they included any of the other Hunchback of Notre Dame characters, it could create a different big-bad than the show is used to, which could be a fun change of pace.

Dream Casting:

Pocahontas

Sure, the show is based a bit too far north for this to work perfectly, but if the rock trolls from Frozen can make an appearance, there's no reason why Pocahontas - and possibly others - can take a trip to the story book of a town. It'd be easy to see her either seeking aid from Emma or joining forces to take down another villain.

Dream Casting:

Mother Gothel

Once has gone through quite a few of the major villains - and have kept quite a few around - but one that hasn't been really touched other than in a vague mention is the woman who kept Rapunzel in a tower. Her motivation would certainly be different than other big bads the show has seen.

Dream Casting:

Tarzan

While it would be a debate on just how Tarzan (and maybe Jane?) could fit into this universe, it'd be great to see it work. Who better to get him acclimated to a new world than the group who had to do it themselves a few seasons beforehand?

Jack Sparrow

With Hook being such a main player in the Once world, it'd be so much fun to reveal that he's had some dealings with the famed Jack Sparrow or even is old allies with him. The two are men cut from the same cloth and could provide some hilarious banter and sass even in the most trying of times.

Dream Casting:

Alice

Sure, Alice played a part in the Once spinoff, but since there really wasn't too much crossover, it'd be fun to incorporate the original incarnation of Alice - that of a younger girl, into the plot and cast of the main series. She could potentially play a part in Henry's storyline - and there aren't many kids anywhere near his age in the show.
