A clumsy apprentice witch breaking the seal of darkness by accident is the most honest setup for a hero's journey ever written.

The movie trusts that a kid trying to live up to her mother's legend while being fundamentally herself is enough to carry the whole thing.
SYNOPSIS
Fuuka is an apprentice witch with big dreams and clumsy hands. As princess of the Silver Castle, she's supposed to master magic like her legendary mother, the Silver Queen, but spells keep going sideways whenever she tries. When Fuuka accidentally shatters an ancient seal, she finds herself trapped in a twisted amusement park where darkness reigns and danger lurks around every corner. To escape, she has to pass a series of deadly trials and confront the witch who rules this nightmare realm. Fortunately, Fuuka isn't facing this alone. Her childhood friends Karin and Chitose, princesses and princes of their own magical kingdoms, rush to her aid. But their reunion isn't seamless. Chitose's impulsive nature clashes with Fuuka's stubborn streak, creating friction at crucial moments. Karin becomes the steady voice trying to hold the group together while they navigate supernatural horrors and solve the mystery of why Fuuka was chosen for this darkness. It's a story about found family overcoming personal flaws to save each other, wrapped in fantasy adventure and just enough darkness to keep things tense.
