Plot

While on her way to the village marketplace, Snow White is shocked upon the sight of Gaston's return. Gaston has formed a team with Sir Hiss, Jafar, Ursula, and the Evil Queen to defeat the princesses and reclaim the castle from them following his previous defeat. Snow White returns to the castle and alerts them of Gaston's plan, to which Ariel, Tiana, Moana, and Rapunzel all decide that they will need extra help in saving the day. The Magic Mirror helps them by summoning Cinderella, Aurora, and Belle to join the team.

The princesses learn that Gaston has also called upon a bog monster, and while first frightened, are reminded to not give into fear by Snow White. The villains get into a disagreement over who will get the castle, when the princesses attack and defeat the villains. It is then that the bog monster shows up, revealed to be Chernabog. His presence scares off the other villains except for Gaston and Sir Hiss. Tiana suggests that Gaston team up with them to save the day, but Chernabog ends up turning him into a pig. Realizing that Chernabog only grows more powerful the stronger the night sky is, the eight princesses create a mock sunrise to turn him into a powerless bat. Recognizing the damages, everyone helps rebuild the village with additional help from the villagers.
