Plot

On the planet Antar in the right arm of the Milky Way, the evil Ratan usurps the throne after the emperor dies. Using all the kingdom's military power, he forces children into slave labor. Princess Xaron, who is trapped inside the palace and unaware of what is happening outside, thinks the people are happy. Three princes, Zacaling, Mussaim, and Dedeon, join forces with the "Nameless Knight" to defeat Ratan and free the children.

Reception

=Commercial=

Matheus Bonez in his criticism of the website Papo de Cinema wrote, "Production may not be a thing of the past, but it does not have to be negative about it. Even the 'performances' of the cast, in general, do not compromise fun more than guaranteed. (...) A legitimate afternoon session without commitment."{{cite web|url=http://www.papodecinema.com.br/filmes/a-princesa-xuxa-e-os-trapalhoes|title=A Princesa Xuxa e os Trapalhões|accessdate=March 19, 2015|author=Matheus Bonez|date=March 19, 2015|publisher=www.papodecinema.com.br}}
