recently, I was thinking about a Christmas special that I saw several times when I was younger. In this special, there was some monster King who had a prince with pig-like characteristics. Somehow, this prince ends up in a house with two young girls. These girls tell him about Jesus, the meaning of Christmas and other stuff. The prince returns to the monster kingdom and is exiled for his beliefs. The prince ends up with a family of gnomes and the prince loses his pig like appearance. I forgot to mention that it was animated.

It sounds bizarre, but it was a tame and cutesy. I think it was made by Hanna-Barbera.

Hmm. So the special was about a [Little Troll Prince](http://www.phibes.demon.co.uk/troll.html) .

I wonder what it could be?
