Pororo: Sweet Castle Adventure

What it’s about

While getting ready for a Christmas celebration, Pororo and the group receive a request from Santa: carry special toppings to the Queen of the Dessert Kingdom. The journey is interrupted by Bunny, a wicked witch who transforms Poby and Petty into dolls. The rest escape and find Santa, now a snowman under her spell. He urges them to continue the task. At the kingdom, Count Chocoleo attacks, splitting the group, and Bunny seizes the toppings. Pororo and Crong follow her, learn her real story, and choose to help. They must defeat Chocoleo at the Cookie Kitchen, finish the cookies, and break the curse before Christmas is ruined.
