SYNOPSIS

 

When Czar Nikolai's eldest daughter Alexea refuses to follow custom, the Czar proclaims he will grant the hand of the princess only to the man who can bring him the most impossible of gifts: a flying ship. While most believe no such ship could possibly exist, the Czar's less-than-honorable head of household, the Chamberlain, knows that there is exactly one man that can produce the flying ship: a mythical warlock who has wandered the Russian countryside for centuries, bestowing magic on only a chosen few.  The Chamberlain hatches a wicked plot to find the warlock, obtain the ship and take over the throne.

 

Meanwhile, deep in the forest, and far from the palace, young Peter leads a simple life as a woodcutter with his parents and two older brothers. Until one day, when a chance encounter thrusts him into an unexpected journey as the captain of the mythical flying ship.  He picks up some unusual passengers along the way, all on their way to serve the Czar. Little do they know that, when they arrive at the palace, their adventure is only beginning...
