film.spettacolo.virgilio.it: «Il
Re Guerriero è diventato sovrano dei sovrani vincendo Re Karl. Unico superstite
è il piccolo principe Victor che, cresciuto, guiderà i ribelli nella rivolta
contro lo spietato regnante. Lui si innamora della figlia del Re, la bella
Desideria, ma il loro amore è contrastato da Selvaggia, malvagia sorellastra
della principessa che, dotata di magici poteri, mira a conquistare il potere.
Nato praticamente sulla scia del successo di
Fantaghirò - che pure qualche merito
lo aveva - è una ripetizione degli stessi temi e degli stessi schemi basati
sulla fiaba tradizionale. Peccato che qui, più di una volta, la noia faccia
capolino».

en.wikipedia.org:
«...Desideria is the eldest daughter of the Dragon King and Queen, rulers of
a powerful conquering kingdom. Selvaggia is the magical adopted daughter of the
Dragon King and Queen, and although she is constantly playing tricks to get her
elder sister in trouble, she is frequently praised as being the smarter and
better daughter. As the eldest birth daughter of the Dragon King, Desideria is
due to inherit the Dragon Ring, the highest symbol of power in the kingdom, but
she can only do so once she has chosen a husband. Unfortunately, the prince that
finally catches her attention is Prince Victor, a rebel prince who has fought
against her father and is to be sentenced to death for his treachery. Desideria
helps Victor escape from the castle prisons, but her father catches her in the
act and she is punished. The Dragon King decides to let all the princes in his
conquered kingdoms fight in a tournament for her hand in marriage, but when
Desideria sees that all the princes are selfish, cruel men, she runs away. When
the Dragon King discovers that she has fled, he declares that Desideria has
forfeited her right to the throne and Selvaggia will become the new prize. But
unknown to him, the jealous Selvaggia wants to beat her elder sister completely.
Desideria eventually ends up in the desert, where she is saved from the Witches
of the Sand by none other than Prince Victor himself. She learns from him and
other rebels in his camp that her beloved father is actually a cruel and vicious
ruler. Just as she agrees to fight at Victor's side, Selvaggia casts a spell
from the castle, causing Victor to fall in love with her and rush to join the
tournament to win Selvaggia's hand...».
