Introduction
King Cedric and Queen Semolina of Entertania have organised a big Christening bash for their baby daughter - and all the immortals have been invited... or so they think.
All goes well until the evil Carabosse turns up, a little miffed that she has not been invited (they thought she was already dead). She puts a curse on the baby, vowing that she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and DIE on her sixteenth birthday. The Good Fairy Azuriel manages to prevent the Princess's death - instead she will fall asleep for 500 years...
