Plot
In the castle Fantabularasa there is a big celebration for the 18th birthday of Princess Rose, who has been cursed by the evil ice fairy, Dellamorta. If she is pricked with a sharp object before midnight, the whole kingdom will sleep for one hundred years. Thus, the princess is required to wear armor. Everything goes according to plan until clumsy Bobo, the seventh dwarf, makes a big mistake and Dellamorta's curse is fulfilled. Only with a kiss of true love the curse can be stopped, but Dellamorta captures the kitchen boy, Jack, who loves Rose. With the help of a dragon named Burner, the dwarves search for "Prince Charming".
