What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Jason experiences recognition of Jessie as the reincarnated prince of a past kingdom, while Jessie remains trapped in mannequin form.
Prince and Company’s window displays, sales floor, and workplace are repeatedly invaded by Jessie’s magical awakening and pursuit.
Jessie’s thousand-year spell can be broken only by a kiss from her one true love before Count Spretzle captures her.
Hollywood Montrose’s flamboyant persona and the film’s broad gags amplify its deliberately exaggerated romantic fantasy register.
