[edit] Plot

In a magical kingdom, the Queen wants to surprise her daughter, Princess Annika, with a birthday gift. When she opens the door to Annika's room, she discovers that Annika is missing, having gone to an ice rink without asking for permission. Out skating, Annika meets a small polar bear whom she names Shiver. When Annika returns to the palace, her parents are worried and forbid her from skating ever again.

One night, Annika sneaks out of the palace to join a festival. A powerful wizard named Wenlock appears and asks the princess to marry him. When Annika refuses, Wenlock furious tells the king and queen the fate of their "other daughter", which surprises Annika. Wenlock magically turns everyone into stone, but Annika is saved by Pegasus, a flying horse, as Wenlock tells her that she has three days to marry him.

Pegasus takes Annika to a castle in the clouds called the Cloud Kingdom. There Annika discovers that "the other daughter" of the king and queen, her sister named Brietta, was transformed by Wenlock into Pegasus. Annika decides to build the "Wand of Light" to break Wenlock's spell. In order to accomplish this, they travel to the Forbidden Forest, where they meet a young man named Aidan who helps them. With the aid of Aidan, Annika assembles the "Wand of Light" that transforms Brietta back into her human form.

Brietta and Annika return to the Cloud Kingdom, but Wenlock pursues them, hurting Brietta and trapping Annika under a pile of snow. Aidan helps to dig Annika out. Together, the trio go to Wenlock's place, where they engage him in battle. Eventually defeating him, they break the spell on Brietta and Annika's parents, and the entire family celebrate together.
