More Winners – The Big Wish (1990)
Synopsis
The faeries in the Enchanted Realm are in trouble. The Charter of the Grand Master states that they must give seven wishes to humans every 100 years or they lose their magic powers. Somehow this time – with the sly scheming of their wicked advisor Lady Mikeevil (Maggie Dence) – the faery King (Richard Moir) and Queen (Rowena Wallace) have almost missed the deadline. In a desperate attempt to save their magic power, spoilt young Prince Wilton (Justin Rosniak) is sent to Earth to dispose of the seven wishes before sundown.
