Plot
The story focuses on a sibling and sibling, named Sally (played by Emma Ford) and Liam (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson), who while searching for their lost canine in the woods, happen across a wonderful parallel universe through a 'magic door'. This world is house to magical and legendary creatures, the most popular feature being a faithful talking Troll named Biff (voiced by Tim Homayoon).

The when peaceful realm, however, is under risk by an ominous queen, played by Patsy Kensit. The Queen utilizes her dark magic to shapeshift into a beautiful female and keeps the Troll community in a state of fear and subjugation. She is desperate to keep her youth and appeal long lasting, and for that, she requires the heart of a giant.

Increasing Action and Climax
When Sally and Liam enter this realm, they befriend Biff, who discloses the Queen's menacing plans. They decide to help their new buddy get away the damage's way, protect the Troll community, and stand against the wicked Queen. The climax develops as they design a plan which involves playing onto the vanity of the Queen. They fool her into thinking that the heart of a frog is what she requires to protect her appeal instead of a troll's heart.
