The story takes place in a Russian fairytale world where Ivan, a young stable boy, has the job of finding out who’s been stealing the Tsar’s golden apples. The thief turns out to be The Firebird and Ivan – accompanied by his toothless friend, Wolfie – pursues her through the dark and dangerous forest. Arriving at a mysterious castle, they meet a book-loving princess,imprisoned by the evil sorcerer, Koshchei. Getting themselves in to and out of various scrapes, our trio finally discover the source of Koshchei’s power and “with the help of the magic Firebird” uncover a few surprises before overcoming him and setting off once more in pursuit of fresh adventures.
