Today is Prince Owen’s KING’S DAY: the day when a qualified prince can take the royal final exam to earn the right to be called king. However, when Owen realizes he has to overcome impossible obstacles, face-off with dangerous creatures, and solve complex puzzles (all while toting around his persnickety sister Cherry Blossom), he would rather stay in and go back to sleep.
