==Plot==
In the magical kingdom of Nebeskia, a princess named Ariella is not only celebrating her 16th birthday but is also on the verge of discovering her true purpose in life. Twelve good fairies bestow their blessings upon her, recognizing the princess's potential to bring positive change to the world. 
However, an enigmatic sorceress, who harbors bitterness and seeks to spread discord, places a curse on the kingdom. The curse manifests as a deep slumber that befalls the entire kingdom, with the exception of Ariella. The world begins to experience turmoil and disharmony, symbolizing the impact of the curse on a larger scale.
Devastated by the curse placed on her kingdom but determined to break it by any means, Ariella embarks on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Aided by her loyal mouse companions - Yanna, Melchior, Lapitch, and Lisa - she navigates various challenges, forming deep bonds of friendship and unity along the way. These relationships are crucial in Ariella's development as she learns to trust in her own abilities and the power of love. As they progress, Ariella and her companions encounter diverse characters representing different cultures and backgrounds, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and promoting unity among people.
Throughout Ariella's adventure, the movie highlights love in its broader sense — love for oneself, love for others, and love for the world. The princess's journey is not solely about finding her true love but also about discovering her inner strength, compassion, and the ability to inspire positive change.
In the climax, Ariella's growth and the unity she has fostered enable her to confront the sorceress and break the curse. The movie culminates in a heartwarming finale where Ariella, having awakened the collective spirit of the kingdom, leads everyone in a joyous celebration of love, unity, and a brighter future.
