    uniE603 The Magic Horse
    Logline: A disillusioned tech heir discovers a flying wooden horse and is swept into the world of floating castles, rebel princesses, and ancient magic—where he must defy a tyrant king and discover love and his purpose. THE MAGIC HORSE An original animated feature film Music & Lyrics by Victor Spiegel Based on a tale from One Thousand and One Nights A high-concept fantasy adventure with heart, humor, and original music—where cutting-edge animation meets classic mythology. At the center of this story is Daniel Weller, heir to a tech empire he never asked for. He’s more interested in fantasy novels than corporate takeovers—until a mysterious woodcarver offers up an impossibly intricate wooden horse. It’s not a product. It’s not a prototype. It’s magic. With the press of a button, Daniel is launched—literally—into a world beyond the clouds, where enchanted castles float above the earth and tyrant kings rule with spells. There, he meets Princess Aurianna—fierce, clever, trapped in a gilded cage. She doesn’t need saving. She needs a partner. Together, they defy tradition, battle monsters (and monstrous men), and awaken powers in themselves they never imagined. Meanwhile, back home, Daniel’s father faces a warlord invasion. Magic meets machine as fantasy collides with science in a final act that delivers action, spectacle, and a crowd-pleasing finale—with a dragon-sized illusion and a sky-blimp ambush unlike anything you’ve seen on screen. THE MAGIC HORSE blends classic storytelling with modern themes—identity, rebellion, love, and legacy—set to a soaring original score and musical numbers with Broadway-caliber ambition. Think Aladdin meets How to Train Your Dragon, with the aesthetic scope of The Little Prince and the edge of Into the Spider-Verse. This is a four-quadrant animated film with franchise potential, strong visual merchandising hooks (the horse, the castle, the transformations), and a heartfelt coming-of-age story that anchors the magic. Smart, cinematic, and emotionally rich—The Magic Horse is ready to fly.
