COMEDY. Marigold, a cranky fairy, casts quirky spells on anyone who annoys her and has transformed all the villagers of Luxyluke into mice. Two fairy friends, along with Prince Yewdl and Princess Weegelia, arrange an intervention to convince Marigold to attend Fairy Godmothers’ Anonymous. Annoyed, Marigold casts a spell that makes Prince Yewdl act like a chicken. However, when Marigold discovers she may have accidentally transformed her best friend, Morton the wizard, into a mouse, she sets out to find him and reverse the spell. Along the way, Marigold meets an old hag who gives her horrible directions, and Marigold ends up at a support group for fairytale characters where she meets a grouchy dwarf, a guilt-wracked woodsman, and a guy named Jack who is addicted to beans. Nonstop laughs!
