Then, June told everyone her favorite story about the toy prince and so, she started dancing while she reads a ballet story about the toy prince who ruled over all the toys in Iceland and then, a toy prince comes over and cheer up a teddy bear by giving a teddy bear a special hug, and so, the toy prince uses his winder upper and once he wind up, he would dance by doing plié, achapé, and battement, and sauté which made all toys feel happy. All of sudden, a bad commander mouse with an eyepatch came with a group of mouse soldiers, because he thought he should rule all of the toys, so the mouse king tip toes to the back of the toy prince and took the winder upper while the toy prince isn't looking and soon, the toy prince dance slower because without his winder upper, the toy prince couldn't dance anymore as he dance slower and slower, ritardando and then, the toy prince came to a complete stop and locked himself inside the cell room at the castle by a mouse with an eyepatch and he declares himself a new king and all of the toys are sad, because of the toy prince and they tried to find the winder upper, but the mouse king hid it where no one could find it. Leo told June that isn't a happy ending as Annie wishes that there's a way that they could help the toy prince. Soon, Quincy heard the winder upper which the mouse king threw from the cell room at the castle and landed under a big pile of snow right in front of the ballet stage and Rocket retrieve the winder upper. Soon, Leo told everyone that they've got a mission about saving the toy prince before the mouse king and his soldiers come to strike them once again! So they all run to Rocket and blast off.

After they blast off, Annie made up her song about saving the toy prince by turning her hands as she sings the song without her microphone about saving the toy prince. Soon, they arrived at the geyser field in Iceland and meet the bouncy ball and June ask the bouncing ball about going to the Mouse King's castle so they can free the toy prince and wind him up with his winder upper. Soon, the bouncy ball is bouncing towards the geyser field and Rocket deploys his pogo bouncer and follows the bouncing ball to the geyser field. Although, the mouse king came with a group of soldiers and they use their piccolos to wake up all geysers and block Rocket and the bouncy ball to get across the geyser field. Then, June had a plan about getting through the geyser field by patting to the beat. And when the mouse king and his soldiers play their piccolo and erupt the geyser, they had to stop patting and freeze and they did just in time. Then June resumes patting and freeze when the mouse king and his soldiers play their piccolos which erupts the geyser. Afterwards, June resumes patting and freeze once they got past the mouse king and his soldiers as they play their piccolos which wake up the geyser and soon, they made it out of the geyser field and the mouse king and his soldiers got splashed by those geysers as the bouncy ball left.

Soon, Rocket puts out his display screen and they saw the toy prince who is still frozen and locked inside the mouse king's cell room. Soon, Annie sang the toy prince song without her microphone once again.

Afterwards, they met a teddy bear who is outside of the ice cave and Rocket landed in front of the ice cave and June greet the teddy bear and ask about getting to the mouse king castle so they can free the toy prince by the winder upper. Soon, the teddy bear knew a way through the ice cave to get to the mouse king castle and the whole team follow the teddy bear through the ice cave. Although, the mouse king is back with his army at the end of the tunnel and this time, they use a big box of snowballs to roll down some snowballs towards the Little Einsteins and the teddy bear. Then, the teddy bear had plan to get past some of the snowball by doing the jumping dance to get past all of the snowball. First June and Teddy Bear had to jump open when the snowball get between their leg, then, June and the Teddy Bear had to jump close when the snowball come to the edge of their leg. Soon, the mouse king and his soldier dumped all of the snowballs from the big box of snowball and June and Teddy Bear had to achapé faster by jumping open and close, and soon, the biggest, fastest snowball are rolling towards them, so they had to achapé even faster and they continue to jump open and close until they got passed all of the snowball and soon, they made it out of the ice tunnel and the teddy bear head back inside the ice cave. Soon, they saw the mouse king's castle in the distance and the toy prince as Annie told the toy prince that they're coming to save the toy prince as Leo told the toy prince that they had the toy prince's winder upper. Unfortunately, they heard the mouse king and his army and Leo uses his binocular to show that the mouse king and his soldiers are getting closer to the castle. Rocket agrees about flying super fast to get to the castle in time before the mouse king and his army does. So they all head back to Rocket and and fly super fast to get to the castle before the mouse and his army does.

Soon, they arrived the mouse king's castle before the mouse king and his soldier does. When Quincy tries to pull the door open, the door is locked. Then, Leo points out that there's a ballerina by the door called the Little Dancer of fourteen years. She shows a ballet passcode dance to open the door as June mentioned. First, June and the Little Dance of Fourteen years had to plié by bending the knee, Then, June and the Little Dancer of Fourteen Years had to sauté, by jumping with both leg together. Lastly, June and the Little Dancer of Fourteen Years had to battement, by lifting the leg outward and in again and soon, the door start to open. Then, June and the Little Dancer of Fourteen Years had to put all three dances together. First, plié, then sauté, and lastly, battement. And the door starts to open more while June and Little Dancer of Fourteen Year do the secret ballet passcode one last time and soon, the door was completely open.

Although, the mouse king and his soldier are getting closer to the castle, so they all ran into the castle and all the way to the mouse king cell room.
