I really don't think their actors playing their younger selves were really convincing. Jennifer, Lana, and Michael don't look very youthful. I really think they should have gotten younger actors to play them being younger, or at least more youthful looking actors.

A couple of times during this movie I thought it was Lana she could pull it off.

Upon seeing her in Oz, I thought of Gina.

I thought they already had a young Neal (the kid previously known as Baelfire.)

Mila did remind me ALOT of Gina in Oz! But I think Lana already looked GREAT as "Young Regina!" *^_^*

Mila is very talented. I think she would have been amazing young Regina.

She's very talented, and, she looks somewhat like Gina. Caroline as Young Emma? No! Avan as Young Neal? Okay…they both have moustaches XD

That blonde one looks the same age as Jen

Honestly I'm ok with Jeniffer, Lana & Michael playing their young selves.
