Aaaaand it's merchandise-driven. This really is a worse version of Ever After High. The only thing worse that Ever After High is a rip-off of Ever After High.

Ever After High has one of the most forced conflicts possible. Basically, the children of famous fairy tale characters have to go through their lives exactly the same way their parents did, for completely arbitrary reasons. It makes absolutely no sense, and it doesn't deserve what little success it has. Now, imagine how bad a knock-off of that premise could be. Live-action television films are generally cheap as it is, but not only is this one made to cash in on someone else's success, the thing it's ripping off has one of the most poorly-thought-out conflicts imaginable. What we have here is a recipe for disaster. There is no way this could possibly be good.
