Deep in an enchanted wood, Prince Ivan captures the magical Firebird, freeing the crimson-winged creature in exchange for one of her charmed plumes. When he finds himself face to face with the evil Kastchei and his monstrous minions, who’ve cast a sinister spell over the Princess and her maidens, will the Prince be able to free his beloved with the Firebird’s feather?
