Milly Bobby Jo from Stranger Things puts a wig on to look sweet and gets married to a prince in a grubby kingdom were people are not nice.

You know its not going to end well when you ask the Queen where you're going to be living with the prince, and the Queen tells you to get stuffed. I mean this was a tough kingdom, and the royals resembled the trashy kind from the United Kingdom, not the classy princess of Monaco.

So after the wedding, Milly Bobby Jo gets the tour of the palace, and she ends up at the cliff where royal brides get tossed to appease the angry dragon. A hop, drop, and a skip later, she is at the bottom of the pit, and a dragon is hunting her down trying to eat her.

Milly Bobby Jo finds a lot of silly graffitti on the walls, left by past princesses that got dumped into the pit to die. The grafitti explains what happened, and why the royals sacrifice brides to the dragon they betrayed hundreds of years earlier.

This is kind of a goofy movie, but the princess fights back valiently against the rich nobles that just discarded her like used tissue paper. Milly Bobby Jo escapes from numerous attacks, and becomes a tougher and stronger woman.

At some point Milly Bobby Jo connects with the dragon, and they make friends and she turns the tables on the crummy royals. It is certainly a fantasy, but it has good intentions, and it is entertaining.
