What happens

Twice Upon a Time is a 1983 American animated adventure-fantasy-comedy film co-directed by John Korty and Charles Swenson from a screenplay by Korty, Swenson, Suella Kennedy, and Bill Couturié. The first animated film produced by George Lucas, it uses a form of cut-out animation which the filmmakers called "Lumage", involving prefabricated cut-out elements that the animators moved on a light table, emulating stained glass. The film features improvised dialogue and a visual blend of live-action and stop-motion. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
