The 45th Metro Manila Film Festival Awards Bellat lives with her mother and her three adopted brothers in a close to bankruptcy carnival. Everyone has given up on the perya except for Bellat. She tries to relive their glory days by making small time performances but even if they try, it’s useless. Times have changed and they are also on the verge of being evicted from their land because of debts. One night, while trying to think of a solution to keep the carnival running, Bellat met an old friend, Prince Pryce, who are finding the lost princesses of their magical land named Fantastica. Pryce promised to help Bellat rebuild her perya if she help him find the lost princesses. Edit Translation

Good moral lesson but messy execution
This is one of the comedy-family movie that is really created for wholesome family entertainment. The comedy is mainly based on absurd comedic events.The plot is seriously messed up though. It jumps from one thing to another making no sense. The humor is there but aside from people who knows the Filipino language well, other people might find it weird. A lot of the word play, puns and jokes are directly related to local language, local personalities and local events so it's understandable that some people might ask, "What's funny about this movie?" but trust me, Filipino people surely love it. The story plot though is very flat. The graphic quality is low as well (which is expected in most Filipino fantasy movie or shows).
On a positive note though, the moral lesson is heartwarming and very family-oriented although the rest of the execution is too over the top. Do I recommend it? Yes, for Filipino audience. For foreign viewers, I still recommend it with a disclaimer that it might not be as funny from your perspective.
