Description

When a Hag, an orphan boy named Ivo, and a troll called Ulf are sent on a mission to rescue Princess Mirella from the dreaded Ogre of Oglefort, they expect a routine magical mission. However, upon arriving at the ogre's castle, they discover the princess doesn't want to be rescued; she wants to be turned into a bird to escape an arranged marriage. Additionally, the ogre is no longer fearsome but is instead depressed. Now, the rescuers must work to save Princess Mirella from her overbearing royal family and help the ogre regain his former glory as the master of a fun and fearsome paradise.
