Synopsis

The trolls are a happy lot.

They consider big feet, big paunches and big noses signs of great beauty.

Unfortunately, there is one among them - Merca - who looks just like a pretty young human female, and her appearance is deeply troubling to the forest people.

Their only other problem is the Brutebeast, a monstrous monster who dines on trolls with great gusto.

One day, the worst happens, and Merca is abducted and carried off for the monster's meal.

Jason charges off to the rescue, and finds an unlikely ally in the old witch, Mabel.

Catchy tunes with clever lyrics only add to the fun!
