My wife and I watched this at home, on DVD from our public library. We enjoyed it as light entertainment. The animation and sound are done very well and the several songs are performed well.
The premise is that a man became fascinated with magic and sorcery when he was young and he devoted his life to perfecting it for himself. He found a small island in the Mediterranean and established his land there, with himself as king. He would accept wishes from the common people, but would not grant all of them, it depended on what he thought the result would be.
Wishes are depicted as light blue ballon-like vessels, about the size of an adult's hand, and they would float up to the top of the large gathering hall.
For one young girl, she wanted the wish of her old grandpa to be granted but the king never would. So she takes it as a personal mission of hers to correct what she views as a wrong, not only for the old man, but also for the others in the kingdom. She gets surprising help when a small yellow star actually comes down to help out.
As I already said, we were entertained.
