Plot[]
The Dolls are small, colorful creatures who live in an almost perpetual state of happiness: singing, dancing, hugging, and having fun all day. However, they are discovered by the Action Figures, miserable human creatures, who can only feel happy by eating a doll. The Action Figures imprison the Dolls and eat them every year on a special occasion, called Dollstice. The Dolls, led by their queen, Queen Barbara, with her baby daughter, Princess Anya, escape through tunnels on the day of Dollstice, where Prince Ryu was going to eat his first doll. Enraged, Prince Ryu’s father King Ryu Sr. banishes his Chef, who was in charge of preparing for Dollstice. Chef promises to leave and find the dolls herself.
