 Wanted: A Princess for a Wealthy Family. Imagine Hans Christian Andersen s beloved fairytale retold in the Old West: a mysterious princess, a can of peas, a cowboy, and a bed - dozens of mattresses high - towering over the desert. Will this cowboy get his gal, or be stuck with a stuffy princess? The Princess and the Pea is classic family entertainment for the giant screen. In a fantastical world not quite like our own, colorful characters live and rhyme in their own unique reality.
