What happens

The Princess and the Goblin (Hungarian: A hercegnő és a kobold) is a 1991 animated fantasy film directed by József Gémes and written by Robin Lyons, an adaptation of George MacDonald's 1872 novel of the same name. When a peaceful kingdom is menaced by an army of monstrous goblins, a brave and beautiful princess joins forces with a miner boy to rescue the noble king and all his people. The pair must battle the evil power of the wicked goblin prince armed only with the gift of song, the miracle of love, and a magical shimmering thread. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
