InAWorld where all humans have {{Animorphism}}, there is a trio of poor siblings who live together: Fifteen year old [[Disney/TreasurePlanet Jim]], nineteen year old [[WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}} Anya]], and twenty-three year old [[WesternAnimation/SinbadLegendoftheSevenSeas Sinbad]]. The family goes off into the world and finds themselves ending up as the escorts of [[Disney/{{Cinderella}} Charming]]. Charming claims he'll pay them once he gets back home... but there is more to his situation than they expected.

** Jim is a [[WesternAnimation/{{Balto}} wolfdog (Balto)]].

** [[spoiler:Aladdin]] is a [[WesternAnimation/{{Balto}} rabid wolf]].

** [[spoiler:Ariel]] is a [[Disney/SwordInTheStone squirrel]].

* SelfMadeOrphan: As a child, [[spoiler:Anya]] accidentally set off a fire which killed her mother.

* AllThereInTheManual: The descriptions and Tumblr posts explain parts of the world.

** Charming recently inherited his homeland's throne, but somehow ended up across the ocean and is being hunted down by a malevolent group. Something also happened to Belle (his lover) and his brother. Mulan also tells him that his 'aura reeks of sin', meaning whatever he's done, it means he's not as innocent as we think.

* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Tulio taunts Charming with the idea that 'that servant girl really misses her head'. Considering Belle seems to be building up as TheLostLenore, this doesn't sound any good for her.]]

* WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief: So, what happened to regular animals? Were humans always able to turn into animals? How can animals go "extinct"? Just go with it.
* WordOfGay: Anya, according to one of the descriptions.

* {{Animorphism}}: Every human has one. There are no fish or bug forms, however.

** As said below in CarnivoreConfusion, you can't transform into bugs or fish. Eating either of those doesn't make you a cannibal. Being a vegan is a valid option. [[{{Squick}} Diary products still exist, however.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/TheRoadToElDorado Tulio]] and [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Phoebus]]]], and likely many others, work under a mysterious figure that wants Charming dead.

* {{Crossover}}: Standard of a manip. There are also a few reusages of scenery and shots of animations that are not films or traditionally western, such as Anime/HowlsMovingCastle and WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra.

* BigBad: A mysterious figure, presumably a woman, is sending out henchmen to kill Charming. Considering Charming is wanted enough that he got his own printed wanted poster, we can assume she also rules over a kingdom of her own. [[spoiler: It's revealed to be Pocahontas in part six, though it turns out she has a ''very'' good reason why she wants her half-brother dead. (See WhamLine)]]

** Anya is a [[Disney/{{LionKing}} lioness (Nala)]].

* CarnivoreConfusion: In Part 5, they fish. The [[AllThereInTheManual description]] explains that bugs and aquatic creatures are not affected by {{Animorphism}}, so they aren't human. Though apparently, [[{{Squick}} dairy products are still a thing in this universe]]. Mulan is also said to be vegan.

* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: It gets [[InternalReveal revealed to the others]] in Parts 4 and 5 that Charming is a recently ascended lord of a kingdom. They don't find out until Part 5 that his ''head'' is wanted, thanks to seeing a wanted poster.
