Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The world of nursery rhymes has turned on its head. The three little pigs are monsters, the old woman who lives in a shoe has sold her children into slavery, and pieces of Humpty Dumpty still lie scattered all over the road. Duck Ugly and his motley army stage a mutiny...

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
