In this adaptation of the Brothers Grimm story by Claudia Haas, King Oakley returns from a summit meeting to find that conditions in his castle have grown lax, and devises a harsh set of rules for his 12 daughters. The entire castle falls prey to the evil plans of the king’s diabolical servant, and the Princesses escape to their dreams to dance.
