Who needs Dancing with the Stars, when you can have Dancing with the Bears?

It all began when the hunters came and the animals disappeared. Snow White misses the animals and Rose Red needs a dance partner. Together the sisters go on a quest to find both. As luck would have it, on their adventures they meet a prince who loves animals and a bear who can dance! A delightful tale of dance competitions and animal rights.
