PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This spring, fairy tales endings aren’t what they used to be as Lionsgate releases to DVD the hilarious animated feature Happily N’ever After, the inspired story where everyone’s favorite fairy tales are turned upside down in a funny, fast-paced adventure. Featuring a talented cast of voices including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., George Carlin, Sigourney Weaver and others, the film explores what happens to the inhabitants of FairyLand when “tried and true” stories are thrown out of whack and the fate of 'happily ever after' hangs in the balance. A major theatrical release from Lionsgate, this clever family film will be available day and date on DVD and Blu-ray disc on May 1 for the suggested retail price of $28.98 and $39.99, respectively. Both the DVD and the Blu-ray disc cast a spell with a full slate of special features including – most appropriately, an alternate ending, 7 deleted scenes, over 40 minutes of featurettes, audio commentary, interactive games and more. In addition, Lionsgate has created customized menus for the Happily N’Ever After DVD that – in keeping with the film’s theme of alternate endings – will allow viewers to pick whether to get good or evil menu screens based on their responses to a series of multiple choice questions. The menus are all also hosted by the film’s breakthrough new characters- Mambo & Munk- who provide side-splitting color commentary throughout the menus and the games.

Lionsgate will support the release of the Happily N’Ever After DVD with a multi-million dollar kid and mom targeted television, print, radio and online ad campaign delivering over one billion impressions. There is also a major promotional partnership with French’s Potato Stix, in which the DVD will be promoted on 2 million boxes and in an FSI. Finally, the studio will cross-trailer the release on some of its highly-popular DVD releases and franchises including The Invincible Iron Man, The Last Unicorn: 25th Anniversary Edition and The Miracle Maker: The Story of Jesus Special Edition, as well as on various Doodlebops, and Care Bears DVDs.

There will also be an in-school program reaching 20K schools nationwide in which teachers will use movie clips and the fairy tales theme as an educational resource to engage and teach kids some of the film’s lessons.

SYNOPSIS Once upon a time will n’ever be the same again. Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, and Jack from the Beanstalk are all about to live happily ever after when the balance between good and evil gets thrown out of whack. It’s up to Cinderella — aka Ella (Sarah Michelle Gellar) — to save the day by taking on her power hungry stepmother, Frieda (Sigourney Weaver). But this time, Ella will have to do it without her Prince Charming (Patrick Warburton) as she joins forces with an unlikely army of dwarves, fairies, and the wizard’s bumbling assistants, Mambo (Andy Dick) and Munk (Wallace Shawn). Your favorite fairy tales are turned upside down in this funny, fast-paced adventure that teaches the lesson that — no matter who you are — you have the power to affect how your story turns out!
