Synopsis

In a world where childhood innocence clashes with the desire to fit in, a young royal learns a valuable lesson about true friendship and loyalty.

Princess Rosie adores her beloved teddy bear Gilbert, but when her friend Ollie arrives, she suddenly feels embarrassed by her childish companion. In a moment of insecurity, Rosie thoughtlessly tosses Gilbert into a bush, only to regret her actions when the kind-hearted Mr. Fred discovers and takes the discarded toy home. As the reality of her mistake sinks in, Rosie is consumed by fear and regret, prompting her family to launch a kingdom-wide search for the missing teddy bear.

As the search party combs the land for Gilbert, the story explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the conflict between childhood and growing up.
