Mannequin: On the Move is a 1991 romantic comedy film and a partial sequel to the 1987 film Mannequin. Although the film is labelled and referred to as a sequel of Mannequin, this film has very few references to the original film and instead its central plot is almost identical to its predecessor. The film stars Kristy Swanson as a mannequin who was frozen one thousand years ago by an evil sorcerer using a magic necklace. She remains frozen until the necklace is removed and can stay permanently unfrozen if she receives a kiss from her true love. The original music score is composed by David McHugh. The film is marketed with the tagline "A lively comedy about a living doll".
The film was released in the United States as Mannequin Two: On the Move, while in Ireland, it was released as Mannequin on the Move. The original film's theme song "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship, written by Diane Warren and Albert Hammond, was featured in this film.
[edit] Plot summary
Flamboyant window dresser Hollywood Montrose (Taylor) has now been promoted to the head of Prince & Company's visual display department. He takes on a new assistant, Jason Williamson (Ragsdale), who in times past was Prince William, the dauphin of the kingdom of Hauptmann-Koenig. One thousand years ago, he lost his beloved Jessie (Swanson) when an evil sorcerer (Kiser) turned her into a wooden icon, now known as the Enchanted Peasant Girl. As a tribute to Hauptmann-Koenig, the Enchanted Peasant Girl is being sent to Prince & Company for a window display. Jason awakens Jessie and the two get reacquainted, having a millennium of things to catch up on. But the evil sorceror, now reincarnated as Count Gunther Spretzle, arrives on the scene to take Jessie (and a prize necklace) and hop a flight for Bermuda, with Jason as the only one who can stop him.
