Aided by the Good Witch but thwarted by the Bad Witch at every turn, he courts Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Sleeping Beauty. The story features the usual collection of fairy tale characters: stepsisters, dwarves, dragons, gargoyles, bats, and fairies and at least one ball and a wedding celebration. Kid-friendly.
