Alternate Royalty

Alternate Royalty is a 2014 American-Mexican-British-French Fantasy-Musical CGI Animated film directed by Dan Scanlon and Anima Estudios.

SYNOPSIS
All alternate territories combine into one paradox on earth. They've never met before but now by sheer events they will. In the royal and mythical land of Serenoria, there lives the Solaria Kingdom. King Aster rules and raises his 8 children. The 2nd eldest, Prince Samuel is kind, caring, graceful but more of a damsel but is always reliable. He doesn't have a princess however. He has a brave, extroverted but loud knight named Xavier who he deeply loves. But not everyone is happy. In the Beta Kingdom, Princess Quartz, Samuel's hopeless, beautiful but possessive love interest is furious that Samuel is in love with Xavier. And of course her family is too. But when they try to prevent such love at first sight, they accidentally destroy the gate to alternate lands causing it to release and send Quartz, Samuel and Xavier away and separated.

Each of them both land in modern Pennsylvania where they meet new people, discover a new world and try to achieve their goals of preventing a broken paradox before it's too late. But Princess Quartz doesn't give up easily.

CAST AND CHARACTERS

 * Nigel Pilkington as Prince Samuel: The 15 year old slim prince of the Solaria Kingdom. Compassionate and nurturing but is extremely unskilled at defence. Because of how much he has spent his life in royalty he mostly assumes that everything in the modern land is all part of his royal life.
 * George Salazar as Xavier: Prince Samuel's 16 year old knight in shining armour. Brave and courageous but doesn't have a sense of manners and is very extroverted and loud compared to Samuel. Though knowing his number one goal, he loves exploring the modern land. But he has lots to learn.
 * Jeanette McCurdy as Valorie Lilis: A 16 year old country girl living in rural Pennsylvania. She befriends Prince Samuel. Tomboyish, spunky, laidback and carefree with a love for music, she acts as the voice of reason for Samuel's curiosity.
 * Sam Vincent as Jeremy Zuchini: A 15 year old teenage video game developer living in urban Pennsylvania. He befriends Xavier. Eccentric, intelligent and geeky with a short temper. Also a worrywart over what Xavier could do next.
 * Andrea Libman as Princess Quartz: The 16 year old princess of the Beta Kingdom. Romantic, beautiful but stubborn and possessive. Not fond of the ideal that Samuel doesn't want to marry a princess but another knight, she continuously searches the modern land to make sure she gets what she wants.
