As the twins journey through this enchanting world, they discover a truth more powerful than any wish: the enduring strength of family.
Adding to the magic is a vibrant musical score, featuring original songs by singer-songwriter Francesca Longrigg, along with new songs by legendary lyricist and EGOT-winner Tim Rice (Aladdin, The Lion King, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Evita) and Pete Hobbs (Jean, Easy A).
