After All It's a Happily Ever After (or Happily Ever After: The Way Life Was Meant To Be) is a stage jukebox musical with music composed by the late Dave Seville and lyrics and book written by Prince Hans Westergaard, in the upcoming animated feature film, The Chipmunks and the Chipettes Join the Disney Family. It is sponsored by Cloverleaf Industries and also devised by Prince Hans Westergaard in order to kill Wreck-It Ralph.
Basic Synopsis[]
A dashing prince (Hans Westergaard) rescues a lovely princess (Sofia the Worst) from an evil giant monster (Wreck-It Ralph) who, in keeping her in a tower, has been terrorizing the kingdom and standing in his way.
Set Design[]
The stage is split into seven sequences. These include a snowy mountain range with a flowing waterfall, a desert, a river with working waves, a forest, a meadow which later reveals a replica of Wreck-It Ralph's domain, a neglected keep resembling the Tremaine Château surrounded by volcanoes and a cardboard dragon set piece, and a replica of the Enchancia Castle overlooking the city. There is a large green moon as well as a large wall depicting a starry landscape.
History[]
Five years after killing Dave Seville callously in a fireworks explosion and plagiarizing all his music, Prince Hans writes the most recent musical as a way for himself to publicly executing Wreck-It Ralph in order to gain power over Walt Disney World and as service to Chernabog and Maleficent, while at the same time allowing him to indulge in his fantasy of being a hero. Hans' soldiers capture Wreck-It Ralph and lock him in shackles chained to the stage.
The citizens of Disney World are forced to attend the musical against their own will. When Wreck-It Ralph makes fun of Hans, the audience and the Westergaard Theatre Orchestra laugh along with him.
Aftermath[]
Believing he successfully stabbed Wreck-It Ralph, he was soon ratted out for his aim. As a result, Hans was thrown towards the stage tower, which thanks to Elliott, crushed him.
