In the sunlit kingdom of Oriana, Princess Bianca takes pride in doing everything herself. She doesn't ask for help- not from her father, and not even from Cael, her loyal best friend who always shows up when she won't let anyone else.
But when a charming stranger arrives with a smile too golden and a marriage proposal the King can't refuse, Bianca's confidence begins to waver. For the first time, she may be facing a danger she can't out‑stubborn.
In a world where courage and friendship are challenged by both good and evil, Bianca must discover that even the most independent princess sometimes needs a helping hand.
This is an ongoing passion project to write my own "2000's Barbie film" inspired screenplay, which I started back in October 2024. The story it's taking from is "Cannetella," about a princess who refuses to marry, makes an impossible ask of her father, and needs to be saved from the sorcerer who exploited that opportunity. It's a darker story, so I'd recommend it for older audiences. I challenged myself to write a version that was more available to modern audiences and adapting it into a Barbie story just sounded "correct."
