It can be seen as a slightly dark fairy tale.

It is said that the investment is less than 100 million, but I think the visual effect is quite beautiful.

A young boy who lives in a small town with a wall. He fell in love with a girl, and vowed to go to the world beyond the wall to bring back the star for her.

After learning of his thoughts, the father took out a letter. It turned out that the boy was the product of the latter who ran out of the wall when he was young, and was the product of a one-night stand with a princess who was controlled by a witch in a magical country.

Lighting the Babylon candle given by his mother, the boy really entered a magical kingdom, and because he was thinking of a shooting star, he collided with a star that was dizzy and dizzy when he accidentally fell on the earth. The young boy was very happy, tied the stars, and was ready to go back to his hometown and dedicate it to the girl.

However, it's not that easy.

In the magic kingdom, there are three witch sisters, they are too old and need to eat the heart of the stars in order to regain their youth and beauty. When the lottery was drawn, the third child who played tricks won. After dressing up like a child, he started his journey to find the stars.

At the same time, the king of the magical kingdom died. On his deathbed, he threw a ruby ​​necklace, saying that whoever found it would be the next king. This country has a weird tradition. Every king must kill all his brothers before he can become king. Several of this group of brothers have died, and in the end, only two of them were able to find the necklace.

Coincidentally, the place where the necklace fell, happened to be the place where the stars fell, and naturally, she was wearing it around her neck. Therefore, the star + necklace has become the target of many people. As a result, the teenager's journey home has become distant and thrilling.

Overcoming all obstacles and going through trials and tribulations, the boy found out that the stars are his true love. In the end, they finally defeated "Gagawu".

Since the two princes of Xunlian have been killed by "Gargar", as the descendant of the princess, the boy is embraced as the king. He married a star, had sons and grandchildren, and when he was old, he lit a Babylonian candle and ascended to heaven together as a star.

The characters in it are all cute, and even the "bad guys" have a lot of laughs. For example, the cunning "Gawgwitch" (Michelle Pfeiffer), for example, the pirate Shakespeare's amphibious captain (Robert De Niro).

    This is definitely the most beautiful adult fairy tale I have ever seen. It is neither as brain-dead as traditional fairy tales, but also not as fond of exploring the dark side as in recent works. It makes me feel so warm~~~

    Victoria: [Looking pleasantly astonished at Tristan's transformation] What happened to you?

    Tristan: I've found the star.

    Victoria: I can't believe you did it. Where's my star? Can I see it? Is it beautiful?

    Tristan: Yes.

    [Tristan reaches into his pocket and pulls out a lock of Yvaine's hair, wrapped in a small piece of white cloth. He gives it to Victoria]

    Victoria: Well, it's awfully small.

    Tristan: Well, that's just a little piece - a token for your birthday.

    Victoria: Well... Well, then forget about the star. It's not the star that I want.

    Victoria: [she puts her arms around him]

    [seductively]

    Victoria: You know what I want.

    Tristan: [looking amused] Humphrey. Humphrey, it's all right. She's all yours. You really are a perfect couple. The best of luck to you both.

    [Victoria looks inside the cloth containing the token that Tristan has given her]

    Victoria: [ungratefully] Why would I want this? It's just a measly handful of stardust.
