Overview

Animation

Humpty was an overgrown, misunderstood egg. But one day, he ended up in the right place at the right time and his luck changed. When he overheard Glitch the Witch's evil plan to poison Princess Allegra, he saved the Princess, became the town hero and got a big head! But the glory didn't last for long... Crrraaaacck!! All the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put back the pieces. Could the power of love save Humpty Dumpty? Scratch, Glitch's street-smart cat, unscrambles The Real Story.
