  In a magical land of dreams, a friendly baby dragon named Simba, with scales of gold and sapphire eyes, embarks on nightly adventures with children. He flies them to wondrous places, from starry galaxies to enchanted forests, filling their sleep with joy and wonder. However, their happiness is threatened by the wicked sorcerer Malakar, who, consumed by jealousy, attempts to poison Simba's pure heart with doubt and fear. Malakar whispers venomous lies, trying to convince Simba that his dream-weaving is a pointless exercise in a world full of waking sorrow. 
  But Simba’s innocence and the love of the children he befriends prove to be a shield that Malakar’s darkness cannot penetrate. When the sorcerer’s attempts to corrupt Simba fail, he resorts to more direct and dangerous attacks on the dream world itself. In a climactic battle, Simba, with the help of his powerful parents, Falkor and Katla, confronts Malakar and his monstrous creations. Drawing strength from the love and hope of the children, Simba unleashes a powerful beam of golden light, vanquishing the darkness and restoring peace to the dream world. The story is a testament to the power of love, hope, and innocence in overcoming darkness and despair, reminding children that their dreams are a source of strength and courage in their waking lives.

  It's Winter Break at Hilltop Academy and Lina couldn't be more excited. With time off from school, Lina's parents say it's all right for her best friend, Claudia, to come up to their cloud palace for a sleepover (as long as she double pinkie-swears never to tell the royal family secret!). Claudia can't wait to see what it's like to actually be a real princess! But she soon learns that all the stuffy palace protocol isn't nearly as fun as it sounds. The girls just have to get out and play! Claudia suggests they go down to the ground and have some fun with Lina's winter magic. They have a blast sledding and skating in the snow until an actual winter blizzard moves in. The girls are stuck on the ground, lost in the storm. They will have to get resourceful, be brave, work together—and use Lina's magic in a creative way—if they are going to find their way out.
