Animation featuring audience participation. Well-known folk stories and fairy tales are given a modern twist, with viewers able to become characters featured in the story by uploading a picture of their face through the CBBC website. Maid Marion is sick of playing the part of maid to Robin Hood and his bunch of slovenly Merry Men. She leaves for a more fulfilling life as a strong, independent woman, and seeks to rally other women in the kingdom in her struggle for equality. Life in the Robin Hood camp turns to anarchy after she leaves, and the boys realise how much they took her for granted. Their clothes are unwashed, they can't cook, and Robin can't even make his own arrows without her help. Marion finds a woman to join her cause, Ghouldilocks, who is oblivious to the fact that her ghostly monster image scares everyone to death. Ghouldilocks scares away the troll under the bridge and becomes a heroine and celebrity overnight. Can Robin Hood and his Merry Men become domesticated heroes? Will Marion's quest for equality end in tears? Why do trolls like living under bridges, anyway?
