A high-school bookworm transforms into a swan
in Walt Disney Pictures' "ICE PRINCESS." Brainy Casey Carlyle (Michelle Trachtenberg) has never quite fit in. Caught between
her fantasy of becoming a championship figure skater and her strong-willed mother (Joan Cusack), who has her on the fast track
to Harvard, she can only hope to be like Nikki, Tiffany and Gen (Hayden Panettiere)--three elite skating prodigies who are
ruthlessly competing on the US National circuit (and have attitudes to match). But when Casey gets the chance to train with
Gen and her coach, a disgraced former skating champion who also happens to be Gen's mother (Kim Cattrall), she must dash her
own mother's hopes in order to pursue her dream. Now, with only the support of Gen's teenage brother, a hunky Zamboni driver
(Trevor Blumas), Casey takes on the challenge of her life when she finds herself competing against the best to make it into
the championship circuit and become a real "ice princess."
