Synopsis
In a castle somewhere in a bygone age, the fairy Carabosse cuts the umbilical cord of a newborn baby girl called Anastasia. Three young scatterbrained fairies arrive out of breath. Carabosse explains that they are too late--at sixteen the child's hand will be pierced and she will die. The fairies burst into tears. Now, they must ward off the fatal curse. In doing so, instead of dying, Anastasia will now fall asleep for 100 years. However, sleeping for a century is pretty boring, so they bestow on her the possibility of wandering far and wide in her dreams during those years of sleep.
