Based on the Grimm's fairy tale "The Six Swans." Princess Amelie (Amie) has no use for the stuffy life of royalty and is constantly getting into trouble for her stubborn rejection of it. After her small romance with a peasant boy is discovered, Amie is sent away to live with her crabby, no-nonsense grandmother to be disciplined. When her grandmother (who is secretly a witch) transforms her six brothers into swans as part of her scheme to seize the throne, Amie must use both her independent instincts and her learned royal behaviors to save her family and her kingdom.
