With the help of his assistants the uptight Munk (Wallace Shawn) and the decidedly goofy Mambo (Andy Dick), the Wizard is checking to make sure that all the fairy tales under his care are "on track" to have their traditional happy endings . As we meet him however, the Wizard is leaving for Scotland for a long - overdue vacation . He leaves the kingdom in the hands of Munk and Mambo . </P> <P> Ella is a girl who is better known as Cinderella (Sarah Michelle Gellar).

Her best friend at the palace is Rick (Freddie Prinze, Jr .), the palace dishwasher . Rick takes it upon himself to deliver the invitations to the royal ball to Ella . Ella sees Rick only as a friend, but Rick secretly loves Ella, although he is too cool and proud to admit it . Rick can't really understand what Ella likes about the Prince .

The Prince does everything by the book, and plans to meet his maiden at the ball . </P> <P> However, things don't go as planned at the ball . Thanks to the assistants, Ella's evil stepmother, Frieda (Sigourney Weaver) gains access to the Wizard's lair during the Prince's ball .

She summons an army of Trolls, witches (Tress MacNeille and Jill Talley), three Big Bad Wolves (Jon Polito and Tom Kenny), the Giant (John DiMaggio), and Rumpelstiltskin to her castle .
