I'm wishing on a star ♪

- [Wendell] Oh Anthony, this is the most terrible mess.

Look at that, "Wendell's Disgrace."

They're cancelling my coronation and all you're worried

about is finding 5,000 Wendells to get your

stupid mirror back!

- How many have we got all together?

- Exactly 30 Gold Wendells.

How are we gonna change 30 coins into 5,000

by tomorrow morning?

- Give them to me.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on! I've got an idea, come on.

- [Wendell] I hope this is going to get my coronation

back on again.

- Trust me, trust me.

This is one of my best ideas.

Oh, here here here. This is the place.

- [Wendell] May I remind you that all your ideas

have so far resulted in total failure?

-All right, look. Here here here.

We've got 10 coins apiece, all right?

Now one of us has to win a fortune by daybreak.

Here, there there.

- Thank you! And I made something for Prince.

- [Wendell] Oh no no, tell her I refuse.

It's so humiliating!

- [Tony] He says he loves it.

- [Virginia] Every little bit helps.

(ominous music)

- We found him like this five minutes ago.

Now he won't come down.

- Keep away from me, or I'll jump!

I'll just jump and then you'll be sorry.

Ha-ha! That'll spoil your plans.

- Is there something you wanted to get off your chest?

- I refuse to be a man.

I won't do it any longer.

I insist on being a dog.

- Well, any particular reason?

- Well how can I stroke myself?

-Ah.

- How can I miss myself like I miss my master?

I demand to be a happy puppy!

(barks)

- Well, you've certainly made your point.

Now please, allow me to make mine.

(dramatic music)

There are no masters here!

And only one mistress.

Don't forget that, doggy.

I've booked you a riding lesson.

- Oh, dear.

(sobs)

- Place your bets, please.

- Excuse me, miss.

What's the highest return possible on one gold Wendell bet?

- Well sir, you want to bet on the Grand Jackrabbit Jackpot.

10,000 to 1 odds.

- Oh, yeah.

- But it's only ever been won once.

- No! That's the game for me.

- I'll raise you 20.

- I sneer at your 20.

Raise you 50!

- Place your bets.

- Place your bets.

Wolf will win the jackpot and then Virginia will love him

even more!

But if Wolf wins, then Virginia gets the mirror...

and then Virginia goes home!

Oh, cripes!

- 160. Bad luck, sir.

- (sighs) Thank you.

Tickety-boo, another.

- Call it.

- Have you got Mr. Bun the Bakerman?

(laughing)

Read 'em and weep, oh poor baby!

Look at my happy families! (laughs)

- Dogs don't like horses.

- But Princes do. Up you get.

Come on, up you get!

There we go.

That's it, nicely. Take it easy now.

UP you get!

Off you go. There we are.

There we are.

The horse isn't going to move unless you give him a command!

Hit him.

(horse nickers)

(groans)

Ta! (horse neighs)

- Help me!

Somebody help me, please!

(screaming)

Stop horsey, slow down!

- Your majesty, the prince has escaped!

- (sighs) It's gone wrong.

It's all gone wrong.

All my great plan.

(whistling and bubbling)

- [Mirror] Come to me.

Come to me,

and your mind will clear.

(Zapping)

- Your majesty.

I crave your guidance.

The Troll King is out of control.

The dog is still missing and the prince has escaped.

Please, I need your help.

- Kill the Troll King.

- But how?

He is so strong.

He has an army to protect him.

- HOW did I kill Snow White?

The old ways are the best.

(cackles)

(horse galloping)

(horse neighs)

" [D09] Whoa!

- Mom! Mom!

Mom, morn!

- What is it?

- Come and see, Mom.

- See what?

- There's a man.

- What do you mean there's a man?

Fault of the forrest!

It's his Royal Highness!

(growling)

- I've never seen anyone as happy to lose as you, sir.

- Well have you ever been in love, miss?

- Just the once sir, to a knight.

But he was married.

- Too bad.

(bell ringing)

- Oh my goodness.

You won the Jackrabbit Jackpot!

- Oh no!

- Congratulations, sir.

10,000 gold coins.

If you'd like to go to the cash desk,

you can pick up your winnings.

- Stop pressuring me!

- That's it, I've lost everything. How are you doing?

- I, well, you know.

How are you doing?

- I just said, I lost everything!

- Yeah, yeah. Right, me too.

Let's get some fresh air.

Lovely balcony this.

Fresh air out here. (Virginia groans)

- I'm never gonna be able to get home.

I'm gonna be stuck here for the rest of my life.

I should feel terrible.

Is it this place or...

- Oh, Virginia I can't conceal it from you any longer!

Something has just happened to me.

- Me too.

- I just...

yes?

- Tell me it's just this town.

- Well, it is a magic love town.

And flowers only grow where there are seeds.

Fireworks only happen when there's

stuff in the rockets already.

- Maybe there is destiny.

- There most certainly is.

- Maybe I really am supposed to be with you.

- Oh, you most certainly are.

(romantic music)

- We should see how dad's getting on.

- Place your bets please.

(Tony laughing)

-And Mrs. Bone, the Butcher's wife

makes another complete set.

- Well done, Dad.

- Oh hey, yeah. I'm up over 600 here.

- Oh, 600?

- Yeah but that's not enough.

I mean, I'm not gonna break the bank playing Happy Families.

I've gotta get over to the high roller table.

- Yeah what are they playing over there?

- I don't know, I don't care.

Well I mean, there's no card game that scares me, all right?

Do you remember, we spent that week in Vegas in '93?

- Oh yeah, when we had to sell the car?

- Uh no, it was the year before that.

Do me a favor, get me a bucket for these chips over there.

They're right over there.

- Excuse me, sir.

We're still waiting for you to collect your winnings!

- Shh! Shh! Yes, okay okay.

- They say money doesn't bring you happiness

but it certainly brings a smile to my face!

- Oh, dear. I wish I could say the same.

- 10,000 Gold Wendells.

Would you like to check it, sir?

- No thanks, bye.

- [Old man] Bravo!

(WOW groans)

- Shh! Stop! Stop clapping.

- [Evil Queen] Wolf. (Wolf gasps)

Speak to me.

- She's back.

- I know you're there.

Why is it I can see you and never your companions?

Who is it that protects them?

- I don't know nothing.

- Has this girl got you under her thumb?

That's pathetic.

If you killed her when I told you, all this would be over.

- Go away. Shoo!

- This game is nearly played out,

and you are part of my plan.

You always have been.

- No. Don't.

I'm not listening to you!

Never!

(old man humming)

(ominous music)

- I know your destiny.

You ask a question and I reveal its answer.

- Who are you?

- What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?

What am I gonna do?

I'll give her the money, even if it means I will lose her.

It's the only honorable thing to do.

Yes! Then she could go home safely

and the Queen will not get to her.

Of course, you're gonna have to kill yourself

the moment she's gone.

Your life won't be worth living!

Won't it?

Of course not.

Wait a minute though, she may be leaving

but that's no reason not to go for it anyway.

Propose marriage!

Give her enough money to buy the mirror

but spend the rest on presents for a marriage proposal!

Good idea. That is all fair.

Then she has a choice, home or me!

Thanks!

Don't mention it.

(tense music)

- Snap!

Yeah.

- The stake is increasing to 500 gold Wendells a hand.

- Too heavy for me.

- Bye-bye now.

Come back real soon when you got more money, okay?

(chuckles)

(door knocking)

- Is this the best restaurant in town?

- Do you know what time it is? Go away.

- No, I wish to make a reservation.

I need the entire restaurant, it's for a marriage proposal.

Oh!

Now, you're gonna have to start work immediately!

The dishes I have in mind will need obsessive attention!

And a great deal of marinading and preparing.

Now, I want romantic food!

Food that will sweep her off her feet

but also glue her to her seat.

I want her to feel as if she's had a meal that has

changed her life!

This must be the finest meal ever cooked.

- I am the greatest chef in the nine kingdoms.

Folks travel hundreds of miles to eat my food.

- Yeah well my date's from a different dimension

so don't slip up.

- Wait a minute!

There's 13 main courses!

- Too much?

- Oh, not if you're really hungry I guess.

How many are the guests?

- Just the two of us.

" Two?

I thought you were gonna say 20!

This is far too much food for two people!

- Oh, you're right!

Skip the soup.

- I have found him.

- Yes, I know the place.

It's about 30 miles from here.

Things are looking up.

Now, give me the Troll King.

- He will not speak to us.

- Tell him his children are dead.

- Dead?

Dead?

- They are dead unless you agree to meet me for talks.

(Troll King grunts)

- You evil Pig!

- Meet me at the Merry Pips apple orchid.

Come alone and unarmed or I will slit their throats.

- Snap!

Uaughs)

- Still have tons and tons of money left!

I'll give the rest to Virginia and then she can

still buy the mirror!

(gasps)

Gripes! You fool!

I almost forgot the most important thing.

Oh.

Excuse me. I would like to buy --

- Just one moment please, sir.

Morning duties.

- Well I'm in a real hurry, I need to buy --

- If you please, sir. Won't keep you.

- Okay-

Oh, I like that one.

Oh! That's a nice one.

(cuckoo clocks chiming)

- Now sir, was there something I --

(cuckoo clock chiming)

- [Wolf] I have money!

(bird moaning)

(gunshot) (gasps)

- Very good morning to you, sir.

How may I serve you?

- I need an engagement ring, and not just any ordinary ring.

- We don't sell ordinary rings, sir.

- Oh.

- Tell me a little about the lady.

Is she, urn, a big girl?

- NO-

Succulently slender.

Lean.

- Plain or pretty?

- She's gorgeous. Are you trying to insult me?

- Almost assuredly not, sir.

I am simply trying to fit the ring to the lady.

Some rings might overwhelm a lady.

- Well no ring is more beautiful than my Virginia.

- Oh, sir. How romantic.

She sounds like a girl in a million.

- Ten million.

100 million!

- Then, I shouldn't insult you by showing you these,

everyday gold and diamond engagement rings.

- Good and diamond, heh.

- Or even these,

handmade by royal dwarfs.

- Royal dwarfs.

- Feast your eyes instead,

on these.

- [Rings] Choose me! Choose me!

- I don't wish to be indelicate sir, but these rings

are disgracefully expensive.

- Oh, well, money is no object.

- You're my kind of gentleman, sir.

- Those were very nice!

- Oh no no, sir.

I have something unique

in mind for you.

(majestic music)

- Oh.

- No singing ring has ever received a rejection.

- Ever?

- I'll take it!

- It's yours, for the sum of 7,000 gold Wendells.

There are more modest rings for less important ladies.

- No! No no.

I'll take it!

- One more for the pot, dearie.

- [Virginia] We've won over 4,000 we can stop now.

- Are we sure 4,000 will be enough? It may not be enough.

One more for the whole thing.

- No no no no no!

What are you doing?

You have been playing all night, you're too tired!

- No no. One more for the whole shebang.

- [Tony] Snap!

- Sorry dearie, better luck next time.

Well, you certainly have been lucky for me.

So, a deal's a deal.

I expect you want a biscuit,

more than you want this money though.

- Prince!

- [Wendell] Royal always excel at gambling.

What are you looking at?

Haven't we be better going to the auction?

- Oh, the auction! The auction!

- And that brings us to lot seven.

Who can start the bidding for this extraordinary piece?

Going once.

Going twice.

- 10,000.

That's how he got the money, he killed the elf!

- Well come on, we can't just stand around!

- That brings us to the next item in the auction which is...

- Only purchasers allowed in here.

- 22 carat gold,

entitled Frozen Rage.

(ominous music)

- Why are we here so early, your majesty?

We're not meeting the Queen for another hour.

- Shut up!

When she arrives she must only see me unarmed

or she will not advance, do you understand?

- Yes, your majesty.

- There's no need to gnaw on bones, your highness.

We've got lovely food in the larder.

- Marrow bone. Mm.

- Your highness might find this a bit, presumptuous-like

but could we say our eiders by royal appointment now?

Oh my god!

It's like a bedtime story!

First of all we've got Prince Charming, and now we've got --

- Do be quiet, please.

You seem like a nice family.

What has the prince told you?

- He's told us everything, all about really being a dog

and everything, it's amazing!

- Oh dear. (ominous music)

That really was the wrong answer.

- I am alone, and unarmed.

-As am I.

- I have done what you've asked.

Now where are my children?

- To be quite honest, I have no idea.

I simply used them as an excuse to get you to meet me.

- Then I will kill you.

- Don't you wish to know my great plan first?

- I have known of your plan all along.

To put the impostor prince on the throne

and rule the 4th Kingdom yourself.

- Do you think I spend seven years rotting in jail

just to rule one of the nine kingdoms?

I intend to have them all.

- But where will I fit in?

- Yes, I see what you mean.

- I have heard enough!

Trolls.

Arise!

(trolls grumble)

You didn't expect that, did you?

My men have been hiding for the last hour.

- I'm impressed at your foresight

and had you arrived two hours earlier,

you would have found me...

Poison is something of a science with me

and I seemed to have timed it just right.

You know what they say, Relish.

"An army marches on its stomach."

- NO-

I'm going to take you home.

- [Wendell] And what is your plan now, Anthony?

- Get drunk.

Barman, bottle of beer, saucer of beer for my friend.

- We only serve cocktails, sir.

Cupid's first blush, some enchanted evening,

a long slow spell against the wall.

- Hello, boys!

Has anyone seen Virginia?

- She'll be down in a few minutes.

-Afew minutes.

- [Wendell] Anthony, listen to me.

On no condition allow this wolf alone

with your daughter tonight.

- Why not?

- [Wendell] You need to ask? Think where you are.

The love capital of the kingdoms.

She will come back completely disheveled.

- Boy, I'm ravenous!

I've been fasting all day.

I could eat a regiment of horses.

- You know...

I need to have a few words with you.

- About what, Ton'?

- I think you know what I'm worried about.

- Is it your hair? I know it's falling out!

- Not my hair, my daughter!

- Your daughter?

- Yes, I need to know if your...

intentions are honorable.

(playful music)

- No, not really.

" No?

- Well I can't deny it.

I mean, they're bordering, hovering,

teetering on the dishonorable.

- [Wendell] He'll have her on her back before you can say,

"Happy ever-after."

- All right now you look here.

Virginia is a very vulnerable girl and she's a very --

Hi, you look so beautiful!

Oh, are you ready?

- You know, Wolf?

I've gone to a lot of trouble creating this

spontaneous evening.

-Well...

Your daughter's safe in my hands.

- Do you like it?

It's a tune, I had it especially composed for you,

it's called "A time for commitment."

Then the recession hit me and well,

I just lost everything.

Biggest failure in all the 10 Kingdoms!

here, see, "Manufactured"

That's it, "Manufactured by the war..."

- [Tony] Of um, Rag Mount...

Mounty? Mounties?

- No no, that's an N. Mountain.

"Manufactured by the war of..."

- Uh it looks like that's a D, Drago.

- No, it's more of a gap than that. Dragon.

"Manufactured by the Dwarves of Dragon Mountain."

- [Wendell] Oh dear, Dragon Mountain.

- Prince, you know where that is?

- [Wendell] Well yes, but I --

- He knows where it is.

- Let's go!

- Before any bad luck happens.

- [Wendell] Well you should know that it's

a very long way from here.

- You know what, too?

We should go to that farm house to try to get some food

before we go.

(bubbling)

- That's not gold.

- It is.

- It's fool's gold.

- I got it at a knockdown price on account of it

being the ugliest thing you've ever seen.

(crumbling) (muffled whelping)

Where is that noise coming from?

“Ah!

(trolls grumbling over each other)

- I don't think anybody's here.

- No, I heard something.

- Why don't we check around back?

Oh no wait, somebody --

(dramatic music) (gasps)

Oh my god, they're back!

- Kill them!

(trolls grumbling)

' Go, go!

(trolls groaning)

(triumphant music)

- Welcome back, your majesty!

And congratulations.

We've been worried sick.

- Thank goodness you are back, sir.

There's so much organizing to be done.

Lord Rupert has gone to collect your coronation gifts.

I don't recognize the footman, sir. A new member of staff?

- I wish to go straight to my room.

- Of course, your majesty.

You must be exhausted after your long journey!

- No, I need to urinate.

I must go straight away!

Otherwise it's a leg-lifter.

- Of course, can I have something sent up to your room?

- Um...

YES!

What do I usually have?

- Cocoa and a cheese sandwich, sir.

'Bow?

- It's your favorite, your majesty!

- Then I'll have it, and um...

send up a tray of juicy bones as well.

(ominous music)

" Away!

We will tend to the horses.

- [Wendell] I came to Dragon Mountain once before.

When I was a young pup, I mean, a young prince.

The entrance to the Dwarf Kingdom is somewhere up very high.

It's a very long throwaway but I can't really

remember where, in fact,

I don't seem to remember anything at all these days.

I'm going more and more, well, doggy.

- Ew, ugly looking dragon.

- What is a questing permit?

- Well there's nothing here.

- Well, it must be up the mountain some more.

Come on!

- [Wendell] I wish I could remember if the dragons

are still alive.

(clanging)

- Oh no, wait a minute! No no!

No no no no!

(whistling)

- Anything important inside?

- Did you see that?

Both of those straps broke exactly at the same time!

What are the odds of that? Like a billion to one!

- Yeah, or maybe you just didn't tie it properly.

- No, I tied it properly.

It's my bad luck.

- (chuckles) Yeah.

Hey, I got the greatest luck of all getting to

travel with you!

- You know...

if you've got something to say, just say it.

Get it off your chest, anything's better than this sulking.

- I'm not sulking!

- Young woman...

- I'm just wondering what you were doing on the roof

of that building!

How could you?

With the mirror, our only hope!

- Are you still on about the mirror? It's gone!

I said I'm sorry but it's done!

- You know, I spend my whole life looking after you.

You're alone for five minutes and look what happens!

- Excuse me, looking after me?

Who raised you for 20 years?

I had to work six days a week, do you ever think of that?

No. Just Virginia.

Me me me me me!

- Oh, I really hate you sometimes.

- Well you know what? If it helps, go ahead.

Have a nice long hate, I'm used to it.

- Okay-

- This is a lot better than the other place, I'll tell you

that for nothing.

Nobody helped me, I did it myself.

Well?

- [Troll] Hello?

(thumping)

Hello?

Anyone there?

Hey, come here, it's the Queen!

Hey, your majesty, we're back!

-Alive and kicking!

-And madder than ever!

- I must say, I am most surprised to see you.

- Your majesty, could you use one of your mirrors

to contact our dad?

- [Troll] Yeah, he'll be very worried about us.

- You haven't heard the awful news then?

- We haven't heard anything.

We've been gold.

- Your father has been murdered.

' Who?

Who did this?

- The girl, she poisoned him.

Swear that you will track her down!

- [Trolls] We swear it!

- Whoa whoa, where are you going?

This is the path.

- No, that goes down. Sloping downwards?

This is the way up.

- That's not even a path, that's like for goats.

It goes back up around the hill I'm sure,

right around the corner.

- Prince, am I right?

- [Wendell] Anthony, I know this is highly irregular

but would you mind giving me a cuddle, please?

- You see, I'm right. This is the way!

- Fine. You go your way, I'll go mine.

- Well all right, fine, go!

Don't blame me when the dragons get you!

I'm not going that way!

- [Virginia] Okay! - [Tony] Because it's wrong!

(sighs)

- [Wendell] Oh, no. Decisions.

(Wendell barks)

- You coming with me?

You know this is right, don't you?

(ominous music)

How could she defy me like that?

So obstinate.

Well you came with me because you know I was going

in the right direction, right?

- [Wendell] Uh, no. - [Tony] No?

I only came with you because Virginia doesn't understand

anything I 833/-

- She doesn't understand me either.

(Virginia groaning)

- The one time he had to be right.

(wasps buzzing)

- Since when do wasps build nests halfway up a mountain?

Of all the places I could put my hand.

Just, it's beyond belief, I'm telling you!

- [Wendell] Tony, I'm scared. I'm losing my mind.

- No. You're not, all right?

Just, give that a rest, please?

- [Wendell] No, I am. Please.

You promised me a cuddle.

Yes. Combined cuddle and stroke, please.

That's nice.

(Virginia panting)

Oh no, Tony. It's happening.

I'm going dog.

I'm going dog and there's no going back.

Oh...

I'm so tired.

Always so, tried.

Sleepies.

- Wish I was a dog.

Someone to take care of me, feed me.

So I wouldn't have to worry about anything.

That would be heaven.

(rocks crumbling)

Ah.

- Oh, hi.

So you made it.

- Yeah.

We've been here quite a while.

- Really?

- Mm-hm. About an hour.

- Oh, I didn't know it was a race.

- [Tony] Oh, I didn't know that was a path.

- There's more paw prints here.

They came this way!

- Da, da, dad's...

d-d-dead!

- Well, look on the bright side.

No more beatings!

- Om!

We can fail totally without fear of punishment!

- Yeah! Haha.

- (grumbles) Old bastard!

(laughing)

- Yeah, he can suck an Elf.

(trolls laughing)

- Wait! Wait!

What are we saying?

He was our dad!

He took us hunting.

- He, he gave us our first weapons.

- He taught us how to keep a torture victim conscious!

For hours!

(trolls sob)

- Oh, wait until we get a hold of that little witch!

We'll tear her head off!

- Yeah!

(trolls shouting)

(Tony and Virginia panting)

- [Tony] I think you're sitting on somebody.

- What?

Ew!

- "Here lies Ivan the Optimist."

- Do you think these people found the dragon

or the dragon found them?

- Well these graves look really old, I don't think any more

dragons are...

- God, this is insane.

We must have climbed about 1,000 feet.

- We should think about staying here tonight.

- What, in a graveyard?

Wait a minute, really?

Are you crazy?

(howling wind)

(melancholic music)

- Oh, this was such a bad idea of mine

to come all the way up here.

I am so sorry.

(wolf howling)

You miss that wolf, don't you?

(Virginia titters)

Well I'll tell you one thing, I think this might be the end

for me because I don't think I'm gonna be able to stand

seven years of bad luck.

I want you to know something though.

I'm really proud of you.

I mean, without you we wouldn't have gotten this far.

- I'm cold, give me a hug.

- Oh, come here. (Virginia chuckles)

(Wendell whimpering)

- [Wendell] Big bone.

Big bone.

- Prince!

(chuckles) Where did you get that, boy?

- [Wendell] Big bone. Big bone.

- Yeah, big bone, big bone.

Yes, biggest bone I've ever seen in my life.

Where'd you get it from?

(Wendell barks)

- [Wendell] Follow me.

(ominous music)

(Wendell barks)

- [Tony] Well, we found the dragon.

- [Virginia] He's not breathing any fire.

- [Tony] No, but look.

Look, it's guarding something.

It's an entrance!

Prince!

(grumbles)

(bones rattling)

Oh!

- [Virginia] "Dwarf Mines."

- This must be where they make the mirrors.

Whoa.

Can't even see the bottom, I can't go down there.

Not with my luck.

- I think it's the only way.

- Whoa whoa, no no. I don't think so!

- Oh come on, just get on behind me.

Look, if Dwarves can do it, it must be safe!

Come on, Prince.

- How does that follow?

You know what, it could have a very low ceiling!

You know, Virginia, it might not even be a slide at all.

It could be a dragon-feeding trough.

(Wendell screaming)

- [Wendell] Oh, dear.

- Come on, Dad, you can do it.

(clanging)

See, you made it.

Good job.

- Great.

(clanging) (dwarves shouting)

- Attention! Attention!

Comrades! This is a great day.

The time has come to, behold!

The birth of the mirror!

No one has made a truth mirror

for over 500 years!

(explosion)

Behold, Prince Wendell's coronation gift!

(dwarves cheering)

- See that, Prince? That's for you.

(clang) - OW! Ow!

Ow ow!

- Do you realize the penalty for entering our secret mines,

comrades?

- Is it a heavy fine?

- It is death.

This is our mountain.

- You know what? And you can have it.

We're just trying to get back to the 4th Kingdom.

- Yeah we didn't even know we were trespassing.

- Ignorance is no excuse.

You have illegally entered the underground 9th Kingdom,

and anyone who tries to steal our secrets, will die.

- Secrets? No no no. You can keep your secrets.

We actually need your help.

- Right. Right.

You see, there was a magic mirror recently.

Well, I had a little accident.

_ You?

It was you?

Do you realize what you have done?

You have destroyed one of the great travelling mirrors.

- [Tony] We weren't even -- - [Virginia] Wait wait wait.

Did you just say "one" of the travelling mirrors?

- As in, there are others?

- You wish to smash the other two as well?

- No! No! No! We need them but where can we find them?

- You will find only death here.

Take them to the old shaft and throw them in.

(dwarfs murmuring) (dramatic music)

- No no no, look look look, wait!

- Wait!

Look.

Look in the truth mirror.

Look!

It's Prince Wendell.

Grandson of the greatest woman that's ever lived.

- That's right! That's the guy.

And I am his indispensable translator.

- What magic is this?

Who are you strange travelers?

- We're, um, on a secret mission!

To restore Prince Wendell to his original form.

I am a very important person.

- Long have the stories been told of this day

when a proud prince would stand before us

on four legs!

- Yeah, well this is the day.

- Oh! I've banged my sodding oafing head 200 times!

- Just be careful!

- I hate dwarves!

First dwarf I see, I'll kebab him!

(trolls laughing)

- if they see a troll, they'll be on you like

a pack of hounds and they'll tear you limb from limb!

- Shut it!

What are we, trolls or mice?

- We're trolls!

Trolls afraid of nothing!

- Dwarves have mined in these caves for thousands of years.

In the early days, we suffered terrible losses

because the caves were overrun with dragons.

You see, these caves contain quicksilver, which,

I'm sure you know male dragons are addicted to.

Ah!

This is extremely quicksilver.

Ordinary quicksilver is much too slow for magic mirrors.

Most attempts to make a magic mirror fail completely.

They just reflect.

But sometimes, with the help of great dwarf experts.

" Ow!

- You're not suffering from bad luck are you?

- We're looking for a travelling mirror to replace the one

that was broken.

- Yeah which we had nothing to do with.

- Yeah.

- Travelling mirrors.

I doubt if our records go that far back.

Yes.

Just as I thought.

There is one other slender chance.

Let's see if we can raise Gustav.

Come. He's over there.

(majestic music)

Gustav!

You have a visitor.

You have to speak up, he's rather deaf.

- Um, Gustav we need to ask you a question.

" Hm'?

- A question!

About travelling mirrors!

- An answer only will I chime

when questions put are asked in rhyme.

- All early mirrors talk in verse.

- Yes of course.

- Where there any other travelling mirrors made,

that could help us with our escapade?

- Escapade.

- Three fine mirrors that were made,

to make them, such a price was paid.

- Right, right. Where are the other two?

(Gustav groans)

- Um, our mirror's smashed, what can we do?

Where the hell are the other two?

- Mirror one shattered be,

by an oaf called Anthony.

(Anthony grumbles)

Mirror two is one a bed,

with barnacles upon its head.

- Bed. With barnacles.

- The seabed.

- Yes, one fell into the great Northern Sea.

I think you can safely discount that one.

- What you seek has not been seen,

since it was stolen by the Queen.

- The Queen? That's all we need.

- [Wendell] Anthony! Any chance of a little biscuit?

- No no no, um...

very helpful of you of, uh, be

just tell us where we can find the Queen.

- Near, she is but not alone,

in a place that's not her home.

In a castle out of sight,

where once the Queen was called Snow White.

- It's Prince Wendell's castle.

Oh, I knew it.

I don't think -- (clattering)

(smashing)

- Murderers!

You've murdered my mirrors!

They are murderers, kill them!

Kill them! (dramatic music)

(dwarfs shouting)

Quick! Sound the alarm!

(whistling)

- What was that?

(whistling) (trolls screaming)

- [Virginia] We need to disappear.

- [Tony] Yeah, I know but,

all right, come on go down here.

They won't follow us down here.

I'll be right behind you!

(Tony whelping)

(Virginia screaming)

- [Virginia] Are you okay? ' [TOW] No, I'm not okay!

I don't know how much more of this I can take!

- You've gotta be more careful.

- It's not my fault. It's my bad luck.

How much worse is it gonna be now?

(screaming)

" Dad?

Dad?

Are you all right?

- Uh, I did something really bad.

Something cracked, I can't move.

-All right, I'm gonna help you --

- Ah, no, no!

I may have broken my back.

- Okay-

Okay, urn...

well we're gonna have to find another way out of here.

We can't go back the way we came so, urn.

- I don't wanna die in here.

- We're not gonna die, we're gonna find a way out of here!

- I can't help you, I can't move.

- Well then I'm just gonna go on alone and I'm gonna

find a way out and I'm gonna come back and get you.

Okay? Maybe Prince can smell out fresh air.

- Too many tunnels, too many tunnels.

You won't find your way back.

- I will find a way out

and I will come back and get you, okay?

I promise.

I'm gonna leave a trail of breadcrumbs.

So that I can find you.

- Virginia.

Make sure you get yourself out.

- I'm coming back.

(Wendell whimpering)

"For seven men she gave her life.

"For one good man she was his wife.

"Beneath the ice by Snow White falls

"there lies the fairest of them all."

(harrowing music)

- [Voiceover] Virginia!

- Hello, Virginia.

You look tired.

- Are you dead?

- Well, yes.

I think you'd have to say so.

I'm more into the fairy godmother occasional appearance

sort of thing now.

But I still have influence over things

and I have been protecting you in other ways.

Shielding your image from the mirrors of the Queen.

But soon, Virginia,

you'll have to see and be seen.

- I don't understand.

(Wendell barking)

_ Hey! (chuckles)

What do you think of my grandson, huh?

- I like him.

- Yes, I think being a dog has been very good for him.

- But he's losing his mind.

- That is why you must now take charge.

He needs you to save his kingdom, we all do.

" Me?

No, I think you have the wrong person.

- I have the right person.

I've been waiting for you, Virginia.

You see, my mother was a Queen

and everyday she would sit by the window sewing,

staring at the falling snow

longing to have a baby girl.

And one day, she pricked her finger on a needle

and onto the snow fell three drops of blood

and she knew then that she would die giving birth to me.

My father was sad for a very long time,

but he remarried eventually because he was lonely

and my new mother brought no possessions to the castle

except for her magic mirrors.

And everyday she would look her bedroom door,

she would take off all her clothes,

and she would look in the mirror and say,

"Mirror mirror on the wall,

"who is the fairest of them all?"

And the mirror would reply,

"My lady is the fairest of them all."

And this would satisfy her for she knew that mirrors

spoke the truth.

But I was growing older and by the time I was seven,

I was as pretty as you.

And one day when the Queen asked her mirror,

the mirror replied,

"My lady Queen it's fair to see,

"that Snow White is fairer far than thee."

And my stepmother called her huntsman and said,

"Take this child into the forest, I am sick

"of the sight of her."

Can you image that moment, Virginia?

When you realize that you're so awful that your own mother

wants you murdered?

When the huntsman raised his knife, I fell to my knees

and I begged him, "Let me live, please!

"Let me live."

And he put his knife away.

I was so terrified I ran straight into the darkness.

I ran until I was exhausted and then,

right in front of me there was this little cottage.

- Oh, the cottage we found!

- Yes of course, and when I went inside everything

was the perfect size for me.

On the table there was set seven plates,

and when I went upstairs there were seven beds

all in a row.

I was so tired I fell fast asleep.

And when I woke up there were these men coming up the stairs

and they had lamps, they were mining lamps

swinging back and forth like fireflies in the night

and I was frozen with fear

and when they saw me they all said as one,

"What a lovely little girl."

They told me that if I kept the house clean

and I did the cooking and the washing and the sewing

and the knitting and kept everything spotless,

that I could stay and I would never won't for anything.

I told them about my stepmother and they became

very paranoid about her.

They told me never to go into town and never to

open the door to strangers.

Her mirrors found me eventually.

She dressed as an old peddler and climbed over the

seven hills to my house.

Twice she came, once with a corset to crush my ribs

and then with a poison comb to drug me.

But the last time she came,

she brought the most beautiful basket of apples

that I ever saw.

And this time she stayed to watch me die.

And to be sure, she held me in her arms

until I died in front of her choking

on a piece of poison apple.

And I often think,

"Why did I let her in?

"Didn't I know she was bad?"

I did.

Of course I did.

But I also knew,

that I couldn't keep the door closed all my life

just because it was dangerous,

just because there was a chance that I might get hurt.

- Tell me what all of this has to do with me.

- Everything.

You're cold.

You're cold, Virginia.

How did you become so cold?

You are still lost in the forest,

but lonely lost girls like us can rescue themselves.

You are standing on the edge of greatness.

- No I'm not.

I'm not, I'm nothing, I'm useless.

- You will one day be like me.

You will be a great adviser to other lost girls.

Now...

stand up.

Stand up.

This mirror will show you what you do

and do not want to see.

Poison is the way the Queen will strike

and the way she must be defeated.

You must find the poison comb she tried to kill me with.

- But what can I do all by myself?

- Do not cling to what you know.

Do not think.

Become.

- MY "Qhfs going out.

- Let your light go out.

Embrace the darkness.

- No, but I can't find my way out in the dark!

- You may ask for one wish,

and I will try and grant it but be sure to ask

for the right thing.

- Okay-

I Wish...

I wish that Dad's bad luck was over.

Oh, and that his back wasn't broken anymore!

- Strictly speaking, that's two wishes.

But it's done.

Your father is in great danger, you must go to him.

- Okay but how do I find --

- Now. Go to him now.

Immediately.

(Tony groaning)

- [Tony] Oh, Virginia!

I was just about to lose my mind!

Just about given up all hope.

- That was the right thing to do.

I move slowly,

but I always get what I want.

Where's the dog called Prince?

Where's the girl?

- Just go to hell.

- [Huntsman] I will not ask you again.

- Go ahead, kill me, I don't even care anymore!

- You will tell me everything

long before you die.

- Get up and come with me.

- Well I can't get up, my back is broken.

- No it's not.

- Hey!

It does feel better.

Oh my god, how did that happen?

- I have found the most wonderful thing.

- What? You found a way out?

- Better.

- Better?

Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that

there's something better than the way out?

- [Virginia] Yes. - [Tony] What?

Oh, come on.

- Look.

- What?

- No, it...

she was here.

It was...

- What? So did you find a way out?

- Yes.

(blows)

- Wait wait, what are you doing?

- Shh! Listen.

(running water)

Can you hear that?

(uplifting music)

(laughing) We did it!

- I think...

I think we're back in the 4th Kingdom.

Where did you get that?

- Mirror mirror in my hand,

who is fairest in the land?

- [Tony] It's Christine.

- NO-

No, it can't be.

- What?

It's her.

My god, that's your mother.

- Someone is watching me.

- [Virginia] It's Mom, that's Mom.

Wait!

- Someone is spying on me.

- No no no, it can't be.

That was Mom.

She's here?

How is that possible?

(eerie music)

I thought you said she was living in Miami?

- I didn't know where she was, I had to tell you something.

You were always asking me.

- Why did you throw the mirror way, I mean --

- Well because if we can see her, it means,

maybe she can see us.

- And what?

What do you think she's gonna do?

- I don't know!

- How did she get here?

- She's got the other mirror.
