00:00Princess Florine and the Bluebird
00:08Once upon a time, there lived a king.
00:11And his queen didn't anymore.
00:13Though he was very rich in land and money,
00:15he was grief-stricken.
00:17When he lost his wife,
00:19he was inconsolable,
00:21shut himself up in his royal room,
00:23stopped eating,
00:27and knocked his head against the wall.
00:29His subjects tried to console him,
00:31to no avail.
00:33Your Majesty, we are worried about you.
00:36You haven't eaten in eight days.
00:39Lest the king hurt himself,
00:41his chamber was padded with mattresses
00:44between the walls and tapestry.
00:47Your Majesty,
01:00please allow us to help you
01:02through this difficult time.
01:07What's the matter, lady?
01:09Please stop crying.
01:13My name is Seraphina Thorne.
01:15I lost my husband a month ago, too.
01:18I feel your pain.
01:20I see.
01:22Your sorrow mirrors mine.
01:25I come not to ease your pain, sire,
01:28but to share in it.
01:30For to mourn a beloved is to honor them.
01:34Everyone, please leave the room
01:37except Seraphina.
01:42The king, struck by her words,
01:44found a strange solace in their shared despair.
01:47They exchanged tales of their lost loves,
01:49their grief bonding them.
01:51He decided to marry her.
01:54Now, at the hasty royal wedding,
01:56the king's daughter, Princess Florine,
01:59was present.
02:00She was beautiful and kind-hearted.
02:03Queen Seraphina sent for her own daughter,
02:05Veruca, raised by the fairy Morgana.
02:09However, grace and conventional beauty
02:11weren't her strengths.
02:18Just a week later,
02:19Queen Seraphina hatched another plan.
02:23My dearest husband,
02:25our daughters are blossoming.
02:27Don't you think it's time they found suitable matches?
02:32But, darling,
02:33don't you think we are nose-diving into this?
02:37After I lost my last husband,
02:39I understood that time flies.
02:41Why wait?
02:43Veruca is ready.
02:45And what about her sister, Florine?
02:48Veruca and Florine are the same age.
02:52Florine's beauty enraged the queen,
02:55who ignited petty quarrels
02:57and seized every chance to humiliate her.
03:00Veruca might be ready,
03:02but Florine has been through quite a lot
03:05in the last few months.
03:07Perfect.
03:08Let the first prince to arrive choose his bride.
03:12It will be a grand event.
03:21Princess, the queen,
03:22she's ordered me to take away
03:24all of your beautiful dresses and jewels.
03:27But why?
03:29It's for Veruca, isn't it?
03:32I understand.
03:33Please take good care of them.
03:35Some are gifts for my late mother.
03:46There, darling,
03:47you look absolutely radiant.
03:50Those jewels are simply made for you.
03:53Prince Charming will fall head over heels for me.
03:58That very afternoon,
03:59Prince Charming arrived
04:01in a flying chase drawn by winged frogs.
04:05Poor Princess Florine wished to deck herself,
04:08but she could not find as much as a ribbon
04:10and a dirty old frock.
04:16Stand tall, dear.
04:18Any minute, King Charming will arrive.
04:21Remember,
04:22you are the vision of Princess Sleeperfection.
04:25Stop slouching.
04:26Don't let her outshine you.
04:32The queen presented Veruca to the prince,
04:35who arrived with much fanfare.
04:37You must be the princess.
04:39A pleasure to meet you.
04:41Oh, Veruca is simply radiant today.
04:44Don't you agree?
04:46Radiance is one way to put it.
04:50Is there another princess?
04:52That's her.
04:53She's hiding because her dress isn't fancy.
04:57Princess, your beauty transcends any adornment.
05:00Your Majesty,
05:01I would have preferred you not notice me.
05:04I apologize for my rather simple attire.
05:07It would be impossible not to notice
05:09such a beautiful princess.
05:11This is ridiculous.
05:13Florine needs no more flattery.
05:16I understand the queen mother isn't too pleased,
05:20but may I talk to you in the garden?
05:22Yes, of course.
05:25Florine!
05:26Why must she be so perfect?
05:29Ow!
05:30Mama!
05:31She made me do it!
05:34Don't you dare blame your feelings on others.
05:37You are my daughter,
05:39and you will be a princess.
05:42Well, what did you say?
05:45I said,
05:46you are my daughter,
05:48and you will be a princess.
05:52Well, what did you learn?
05:55Queen mother,
05:56a eavesdropped on them.
05:58He is going to propose,
06:00and the prince plans to elope with Florine.
06:03They'll meet at the small window overlooking the garden.
06:06Foolish boy.
06:08We'll thwart his plan.
06:10Veruca will be waiting for him instead.
06:13The maid,
06:14acting on Seraphina's orders,
06:16distracted Florine with her colleagues
06:19as they returned all the jewelry and dresses,
06:21which gave Veruca the time window
06:23to execute the plan.
06:29Florine,
06:30are you there?
06:31Yes, your majesty.
06:33I'm here.
06:35My love,
06:36I'm here to take you away.
06:38We'll start a new life together.
06:42But I'm so unhappy, your majesty.
06:47Life has been cruel lately.
06:50Don't worry, my dear.
06:51We'll escape this misery together.
06:53Will you be my wife?
06:55Yes, your majesty.
06:57I would like that very much.
07:00This is a symbol of my devotion.
07:02Just tell me when you're ready,
07:04and we'll leave.
07:06Tomorrow, I'll be ready.
07:08Same time, same place.
07:17She must be nervous.
07:19I'll wait a little while longer.
07:23See, daughter?
07:24It was simple.
07:25Now you're engaged to the prince.
07:28He didn't even notice it was me.
07:31Excellent!
07:32He'll be back tomorrow night for your escape.
07:35You know the drill.
07:36Meanwhile,
07:37to add insult to injury,
07:39Queen Seraphina stormed into Princess Florine's chambers.
07:42Behold,
07:43my daughter, the princess.
07:45Prince Charming loves her dearly,
07:47and they are to be wed.
07:49These are wedding gifts for your sister, my dear.
07:59What?
08:00What?
08:01When?
08:02He betrayed me.
08:04Please, take these things away.
08:07I can't bear to look at them.
08:10Take the princess to the high tower,
08:12and lock her away.
08:14She's overcome with joy for her sister.
08:17Do as I say.
08:35Florine, darling, are you there?
08:38Are you there?
08:39When shall we wed, my dear?
08:46I have a godmother,
08:48Fairy Morgana.
08:50First, I wish to visit her castle and seek blessings.
08:54Very well.
08:56To Morgana's castle it is.
08:58The prince did not know the way.
09:00He simply told his big frogs to take them there.
09:04Behold, your majesty,
09:06a map of the entire world
09:08etched into the brains of these loyal beasts.
09:12With them, you can travel anywhere your heart desires.
09:17Wow, impressive.
09:28I will go find her.
09:34He thinks of Florine.
09:37Leave it to me, my dear.
09:39What sorcery is this?
09:41Where is Florine?
09:43Charming.
09:44Fulfill your promise.
09:46Marry Princess Veruca.
09:48Never.
09:49My heart belongs to Florine.
09:51Am I not your princess?
09:54I was tricked and deceived.
09:56My frogs, I must leave.
10:00You will marry Veruca
10:02or face the consequences.
10:05Do as you please, but I love Florine.
10:08She will never be your wife.
10:10Your fate is sealed.
10:12Seven years as a bluebird.
10:14Prince Charming's body convulsed.
10:16Feathers erupted from his skin.
10:18His limbs shrank and transformed.
10:21Wings replaced arms
10:23and talons replaced toes.
10:29The prince, now a bluebird,
10:31flitted between trees.
10:33He was despaired,
10:35fearing Florine's suffering
10:36and a forced marriage.
10:38Florine, heartbroken because of her lost love,
10:42spent days weeping by the window
10:44and nights lamenting her fate.
10:49The bluebird overheard Florine's cries of despair.
10:52Why? Why me?
10:55At nightfall, he heard her lament her misfortune.
10:58He listened intently to understand her plight.
11:06Is it truly you, my love?
11:09Your imprisonment pains me.
11:11Who are you, beautiful bird?
11:13You already know.
11:15I don't understand.
11:17A lovesick prince who loves only you.
11:21Florine was still heartbroken.
11:23She recounted Veruca's gloating
11:25and flaunting the ring.
11:27But the ring...
11:28Lies. They tricked me.
11:30I ran away as soon as I realized it.
11:33Being a bluebird for seven years
11:37is better than betraying you.
11:40My heart was so heavy.
11:42I can breathe again, my prince.
11:45I missed you so much.
11:47I wish I could hold you in my arms.
11:49But, my love,
11:51but you're so vulnerable as a bird.
11:54Predators lurk everywhere.
11:56Owls, hawks, cats.
11:59Don't worry, my love.
12:01We'll meet every night.
12:02Remember the day we met?
12:04The bluebird consumed by love
12:06desired to show his devotion and affection.
12:21A small token of my love.
12:23Your presence is all I need.
12:25But thank you.
12:27I wish you could visit during the day.
12:29I'll find a way.
12:31The bluebird returned to his kingdom,
12:33his love brimming with cute gestures.
12:44My love for you needs no such tokens.
12:47But your thoughtfulness warms my heart.
12:50No, madame.
12:51But these trinkets are mere reminders of my love
12:54when we're apart during the day.
12:56They continued their nightly rendezvous.
13:00Meanwhile, the flying frog carriage
13:02remained parked outside for over a week.
13:06And this time,
13:07when the bluebird sneaked inside the treasure chest,
13:09he was busted.
13:13Where do you think you're going,
13:15you little thief?
13:17It's me, your prince.
13:19A talking bird?
13:21Wait, you've known me as a boy.
13:23What are you saying?
13:24Is that really you?
13:26It sure sounds like you.
13:29Yes, it is indeed me.
13:31Morgana the fairy did this.
13:33Can you undo it?
13:35Wait,
13:36Morgana did this to you?
13:38The good news was,
13:40the wizard and Morgana had known each other
13:42for 6,000 years.
13:44And despite their history of bickering,
13:46they always found a way to resolve.
13:49Meanwhile,
13:50back at Hightower,
13:53Prince Florine was restless.
13:56It's past midnight.
13:58Where is he?
13:59When the wizard couldn't break
14:00Fairy Morgana's curse,
14:02he flew to her,
14:04seeking a compromise.
14:07Morgana!
14:09She's been talking to someone,
14:11the maids at night.
14:15What brings you here, old comrade?
14:17Anything I can help with?
14:19Indeed.
14:21When's the prince you transformed
14:23into a bluebird?
14:25Oh, him.
14:27He angered me.
14:28He ditched my goddaughter.
14:30Isn't she lovely?
14:32He did no such thing.
14:34He was tricked.
14:38How on earth did you break out?
14:40It's true, Morgana.
14:42I've known Charming a long time.
14:44He has integrity.
14:46He told me everything.
14:48Morgana understood at once
14:50that she was made upon in Seraphina's envy
14:52to make her daughter the princess.
14:54I can't.
14:56It's the Spell of Permanence.
14:58From what I remember,
15:00the Spell of Permanence can be broken
15:02if it's broken into two halves.
15:05That is indeed right.
15:15Thanks, comrade.
15:17Our paths are bound to cross again.
15:20Never know.
15:22Perhaps one magic may need a helping hand next.
15:27My love!
15:28My dear prince!
15:30Finally!
15:31It's been a long wait.
15:36Where to, my darling?
15:37To happily ever after.
