Who’s in it: The voices of Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sigourney Weaver, Wallace Shawn, Andy Dick.
What it’s about? Rick (Prinze) and the put-upon Ella (Gellar) try to save Fairytale Land from the wicked stepmother (Weaver). She has seized the magical control room where the Happily Ever After tales are spun out, upsetting every tale from Rapunzel to Rumpelstiltskin. Little Red Riding Hood is eaten, Rapunzel has split ends, Sleeping Beauty won’t awaken.
