Plot edit

King Flurkentijn (Peter Faber) invites the members of K3 (Karen Damen, Kristel Verbeke, Kathleen Aerts) to fairyland to sing for Princess Fleur (Laurien Poelemans) because he hopes that they can cheer her up. But as the princess has been cursed by an evil wizard (Urbanus), the trio are unable to. They decide to undo the curse, and learn that they need to find out the wizard's real name within 24 hours in order to cancel it. While seeking his name, they interact with fairy tale figures, including Snow White (Sasha Rosen), Hansel & Gretel (Florian Slangen and Kato Bijteboer), Little Red Riding Hood (Mathilde Geysen) and Alladin (Mimoun Ouled Radi).

Reception edit

Cinemagazine praised the film, writing that in being intended for pre-teen audiences, the women of K3 kept the viewers in suspense throughout the film, keeping the film magical and fun to watch. The review concluded by saying the performances "are good and fun to watch. But the magical atmosphere created by the decor, costumes and editing is absolutely fantastic!"[1]
