ABOUT THE STORY
In a kingdom far away, a King decides to hold a contest. Whoever can invent the “most incredible thing” will win half of the kingdom and the hand of his daughter, the Princess, in marriage.
Karl – the cruel supervisor of the kingdom’s workers – plots how to cheat at the contest to win! Meanwhile, the inventor Leo wants to save the princess from Karl. He dreams of the three muses; Concentration, Love, & Courage, and together they invent an amazing clock! Leo is declared the winner and everyone rejoices but, fueled by envy, Karl crushes the clock. Shocked and amazed, the judges have no choice but to declare this act of destroying the most incredible thing, as the most incredible thing itself. Together with his muses, Leo rebuilds the incredible clock and defeats mean Karl, proving the power of creativity will always defeat the forces of destruction.
The Kingdom is filled with joy at the site of the happy couple, and no one is jealous in all the land which, is truly, the most incredible thing.

THE PRINCESS
Rebellious and confident, this teenage princess longs to fall in love with an incredible man but is worried he won’t live up to her father’s standards. The King wishes to find a man worthy of the kingdom and his daughter, but she would rather be jamming out to pop music in her bedroom than living the monotonous life of everyone else in the land.
LEO THE CREATOR
Leo, a dreamer and creator, escapes the oppressive routine of the kingdom and wishes the same for Princess.
