Story of the Island Princess

Sagi the red panda and Azul the peacock live on a warm, tropical island. One day, they find a little girl and a chest washed ashore after a big storm. They decide to take care of her. They name her "Ro" because only those two letters are left on her chest.

Ten years later, Ro has grown into a beautiful young woman. She can talk to animals! She spends her days playing with Azul, Sagi, and a baby elephant named Tika.

One day, Prince Antonio explores the South Seas. He discovers Ro's island. Ro saves him from some crocodiles. Antonio then invites her to come back to his kingdom, Apollonia. He hopes she can find clues about her past. Ro agrees and brings her three animal friends with her. During their journey, Ro and Antonio start to like each other a lot.

In Apollonia, King Peter and Queen Danielle are surprised to meet Ro. King Peter had planned for Antonio to marry Princess Luciana. He wanted Antonio to settle down and stop adventuring. Peter doesn't like Ro at first. However, Antonio's three younger sisters and Queen Danielle's pet albino monkey, Tallulah, quickly become friends with Ro and her animals.

Princess Luciana and her mother, Queen Ariana, arrive. Antonio is supposed to meet them. Queen Ariana has a secret plan. Long ago, King Peter treated her parents unfairly. Now, Ariana wants to get back at Peter. She sees Ro as a problem. Ariana tries to make Ro look bad. But Antonio falls more in love with Ro. Luciana is also kind and feels bad for Ro.

Ro feels sad because she struggles to fit in. She thinks about going back to her island. But Tallulah, Sagi, Azul, and Tika cheer her up. They help her get ready for a royal ball. At the ball, everyone is amazed by Ro's beauty. Antonio quietly asks her to marry him. But Ro says no. She reminds him that he must follow his father's wishes.

Antonio argues with his father, King Peter. He even gives up his chance to be king. He leaves a note for Ro, saying he will run away with her. Tika, afraid to lose Ro, hides the note. Meanwhile, Ariana sends her pet rats to spread a special "sunset herb." This herb makes animals fall into a deep sleep. Azul also gets sick. King Peter believes Ro's animals caused the sickness. He puts Ro in prison.

King Peter makes a deal with Antonio. He will free Ro if Antonio marries Luciana. Ro, Sagi, Tika, and a sleeping Azul are sent away on a ship. Tika realizes her mistake. She tells Ro about the hidden note, and Ro forgives her. A sailor, paid by Ariana, pushes them all overboard. In the water, Ro remembers the shipwreck from her childhood. She remembers her real name is Rosella.

With help from some dolphins, Ro returns to the kingdom. A little bird tells her that Ariana put the "sunset herb" in the wedding cake. She planned to make Peter and Antonio very sick. Ro makes a special medicine to wake Azul. But guards stop her. Tika interrupts the wedding. She helps Antonio rescue Ro. Sagi gives the medicine to Tallulah, waking her up. When Ro tells everyone about Ariana's plan, no one believes her. But Luciana remembers her mother told her not to eat the cake. Luciana speaks up for Ro. Ariana tries to escape in a carriage. But the carriage crashes, and she lands in a pigsty.

Ro tells Antonio her full name. A wedding guest, Queen Marissa of Paladia, comes forward. She says she lost her daughter Rosella at sea many years ago. Ro and Marissa sing a lullaby from Ro's childhood. This proves they are mother and daughter. King Peter apologizes to Ro. He thanks her for saving their lives. Ro and Antonio get married. Luciana meets a handsome prince at the wedding. Ro and Antonio then sail off for new adventures. Tika, Sagi, Azul, and Tallulah go with them.
