Storyline

The animated family comedy (in 2D and 3D formats) is inspired by the less well-known story by the Brothers Grimm about veteran drummer Jack, who is coming back home from military service. After his return, he finds out about a princess who is under the power of an evil witch. Princess Mia was kidnapped along with her sisters and taken to the top of an inaccessible Glass Mountain. The king has not been able to buy them back using his wealth, because it has been taken by the witches in every neighboring kingdom. The drummer decides to save Princess Mia and experiences great adventures. He has to prove his courage and ingenuity when meeting giants, robbers, sisters with dark characters, and the witch and her widowed sister, the Duchess, who is greedy to get hold of a wealthy groom. Jack will do anything in order to free and save Mia, with whom he has fallen in love. And just the same, she will do the same for him.
