Late to the birth of the Princess Anastasia, three inexperienced fairies must use their blessings to the child to alter the curse the crone Carabosse has put upon the infant. Instead of pricking her finger on a spindle of yew at 16 and dying, Anastasia will pierce her hand at 6 and sleep for 100 years.
