A (delightfully screwball) fairy tale romp.

For almost a thousand years, Wicked Witch Hector West and Good Witch Ida North have maintained the balance of good and evil in their kingdom, preserving a magical Happily-Ever-After enchantment that keeps the world from falling apart.

As they unravel what went wrong with their mixed-up magic, Hector and Ida face a more daunting challenge than trying to avoid their own Wickedly-Ever-After-
