In this episodic animated fantasy from France, an art teacher interprets a series of six fairy tales (each involving a prince or princess) with the help of two precocious students. Princes and Princesses was created using a special style of cutout animation, with black silhouetted characters performing the action against backlit backdrops in striking colors.

A princess is held by a curse in a secret place. You know you're getting close when you find diamonds in the grass. But all the princes who tried to free her disappeared without a trace...

"I am ugly, I am alone, I am bored". In three seconds, everything will change...
