Using a a mixture of comedy, music and innovative animation techniques, the show takes the familiar world of fairy tales and turns it upside down by adding a delicious and charming twist.

When Rose tumbles into Fairy Tale Land, she discovers something even greater--her own magical family legacy! Her grandmother Cinderella is headmistress of Regal Academy, where five famous fairy tale families come together to teach the next generation of princes and princesses how to become heroes... with a lot of help from their legendary grandparents.
Now Rose and her new best friends – Astoria Rapunzel, Joy Le Frog, Travis Beast, LingLing Iron Fan and Hawk Snowwhite, all of whom belong to the school's founding families ̵#8211; figure out how to fly dragons and outsmart witches, all while learning to use their magic and live up to their famous family names. Can they make the grade?
In Regal Academy season two, Rose and her friends are back from summer holidays and ready to take on new and exciting adventures in Fairytale Land. With the help of new magical items and funny pumpkin creatures called the PomPoms, Rose and her friends will undertake new missions, unravel a mystery behind a new student named Kira, and face off against the evil Snow Queen who wants to trap them in her snow globes, all whilst on their quest to becoming the next generation of fairy-tale heroes!
