Description
A curse involving a spindle goes terribly wrong for poor old Grimbleshanks. The Queen decides it's time for silly, soppy Snow White to go. Lardine and Angula aren't at all happy about having Ella for a stepsister. Old Maggit just wants to win the Wickedest Witch Contest with her house made of sweets.
This is Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella and Hansel and Gretel, re-told like they've never seen them before.
