Description: Part 2: Cassidy and the Redeemers arrive at their hidden base, Camelot, where they introduce him to Mother, their wise and mysterious leader. Skeptical of Cassidy's claims, Mother puts him to the test using Pinocchio's lie-detecting abilities. Convinced of his sincerity, Mother reveals that they need the powerful Golden Egg to send Cassidy back in time to restore the original Dreamworld. Jack and Cassidy embark on a daring mission to steal the egg from the Sleeper's heavily guarded fortress, while Scarlet, Mastodon, and Wolf set out to find the legendary Shepherd, a blind guide who can lead them through the perilous Enchanted Forest to Baba Yaga, a witch capable of harnessing the egg's power. As the two groups face dangerous obstacles and encounter familiar fairy tale characters, the villainous Ice Princess, daughter of the Sleeper, discovers Camelot's location and launches a devastating attack, leaving the Redeemers' home in ruins and their future uncertain. About DreamWorld "Dreamworld" transports us to a place far beyond imagination, where the fanciful inhabitants of bedtime stories roam free behind magic barriers. But when grief-stricken Cassidy arrives via Father Time’s whims, he discovers this wonderland in peril. The villainous Sleeper has shaken Dreamworld from its slumber after the untimely death of Princess Marigold, imposing a cruel new order devoid of “happily ever after.” Yet rebel Jack and his motley crew of fairy tale renegades still fight to restore their realm’s happily-ever-afters. These valiant “Redeemers” - Red Riding Hood’s feisty granddaughter Scarlett, lovesick ex-pirate Bluebeard, towering gentle giant Mastodon - join Cassidy on his time-twisting quest. Fantasy and reality collide as enemies become allies, innocence turns to experience, and make-believe becomes life or death. Layering postmodern wit atop old world sublimity, “Dreamworld” casts ageless characters in a newly complex light. The big bad wolf howls with regret, Cinderella asserts her dignity under oppression, and the skin-deep hero discovers his commanding heart. By making fantasy painfully real, the creator renews its power to inspire hope. Sword fights and sorcery abound on this spirited cinematic adventure, clearly crafted with epic spectacle in mind. Yet swashbuckling showmanship belies sensitivity. When forces of evil shatter to reveal frightened souls, when a sound heart guides a wayward giant home, “Dreamworld” transcends sensation to find timeless truth. We all must wake up and battle dragons, but castles await those brave enough to dream.
