...jealous peasant Hilarion, who also loves Giselle, reveals the true identity of Albrecht along with the fact that he is already betrothed to a princess. This cruel betrayal destroys Giselle and she goes mad, finally dying of a broken heart...
...Add/Drop forms, core lotteries and 9 am sections, what undergrad hasn't desired to just get away to someplace--any place. A magical place. A place with SoSo Whaley and the Literary Llama Zoo Mobile. A place filled with celebrities, like Herb Reed and the Platters, 1998 American Honey Princess Sarah Paulson, and "Gary the Silent Clown." A place where adolescent girls lead their miniature horses through miniature obstacles, where pygmy goats get equal billing with Canadian-style oxen-pulling (a 12 foot, 3,000 pound free-for-all), and where a Coors Belgium 6-Horse Hitch isn't just...
...first, unless you want to be disappointed with every other site. For diversity of coral life per square foot, no other place matches it.

Depressed by his insignificance, Z follows his heart and breaks the rules to court the Princess Bala (Stone). Gump-style, Allen becomes a war hero and accidentally escapes with the princess, inciting the colony to rebellion by his example of disobedience. As it turns out, the insubordinance is well timed, since the Colony's other individualistic ant (voiced by Gene Hackman), has plans to work the colony to death...
