A princess's parents have been transformed by a dastardly spell into literal monsters.
It is an allegorical device that forces young Ellian to try to "fix" her mother and father, and their broken family.
Watched this tonight. As people closer to 50 than we would like to be, we were spellbound by this movie. We watched it because we wanted to see what Vicky Jenson (co director of Shrek).
As the film starts, tenacious teen princess Ellian (voiced by Rachel Zegler) is desperately seeking a cure for the mysterious spell that has transformed her parents, Queen Ellsmere (Nicole Kidman) and King Solon (Javier Bardem).
To make matters worse, she must hide the whole mess from the oblivious citizens of Lumbria.
When the secret gets out, and panic spreads throughout the kingdom, Ellian is forced on a dangerous quest to undo the curse.
But even if she succeeds, she soon learns that her family may never go back to the way it once was.
