Sofia the First

What kind of dance do you think we'll learn today, amber?

Oh...More ballet, I hope.

Chaines, chaines, chaines...Jete--

I meant to do that. Flora: Children,

May I have your attention, please?

We won't be having dance class today.

( murmuring of disappointment )

How come, miss flora?

Because instead you'll be preparing

For a very important test.

The princess test.

What's the princess test?

The princess test is your chance

To show us everything you've learned

About being a true princess.

Everything? But we've learned so much.

Can you at least give us a hint about what's on the test?

I'm sorry, but that's all we can tell you.

Except that it will take place right after school.

Right, but that's it.

In the ballroom. Right.

After school, in the ballroom.

And that's all we're saying.

You have the rest of the school day to study.

Good luck, everyone!

If we're going to be tested on everything we've learned,

Maybe we should go to the library and study.

I'll go with you, sofia.

Great. Want to come, amber? Hildegard?

Amber and I already know everything about being a princess.

But we should go with them...

In case they have any questions.

Which they will. So, let's go.

Where do we start?

Let's ask the librarian. Mrs. Higgins?

Hello-odly-odly-odly, dear princesses.

Hi there, mrs. Higgins. Can you help us with something?

Why, surely.

We have an important test today,

And we all need to do well.

Do you have any books about being a good princess?

Oh, yes. I have a whole wall of them.

Princesses: Wow!

I hope you can read fast.

These two are my favorites.

Thanks, mrs. Higgins!

Ooh! Absolutely-toodly -oodly-oodly!

Good luck on the test, ladies.

Huh. Oh...

Do they really expect us to know all these things?

I mean, "banquet manners"?

I learned those when I was three.

"tea party conversation topics"?

Weather, the news, your dress, my dress,

Scone recipes, and that's it.

Okay, then what about...

"correct ways to use a handkerchief"?

Oh! Like so...

Dab, dab, dab, and blot.

So, all of you know everything already.

Oh, not everything.

I can only name 138 kingdoms.

But amber, that's all there are. Hmm.

Maybe I do know everything.

Huh.

You'll do fine, sofia.

But I haven't been a princess very long.

There's so much I don't know.

Oh, it's true.

If you want to pass the princess test,

I'll show you what really matters.

Come with me. Uh...

Okay.

Oh, take it from me, sofia...

This is the most important thing you'll need to know

About being a princess.

How to turn around in a circle really slowly?

No! Your gown, silly.

Just make sure it looks gorgeous, like mine,

And you'll do fine.

Oh? That's it?

Inside this box is the key to being a great princess.

My great grandmama always said,

"proper fan-fluttering is the most important part of being a princess."

Now, hold it firmly.

Open it gently and flutter like so.

Watch and learn, ladies.

And don't forget: Every princess has to know how to curtsy.

And dance.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

Gown, fan, curtsy, dance.

Got it!

Good, because it's almost time for the test!

We'd better head over to the ballroom.

We don't wanna be late.

We most certainly do not.

Come along, ladies.

I hope I'm ready for the test.

Gown, fan, curtsy, dance.

Gown...Fan... Curtsy...Dance.

Gown...Fan... Curtsy...Dance.

Princess amber... Hello, dear.

Oh, I wish I could, mrs. Higgins,

But the princess test is about to start.

Oh, I understand, dear.

Princess jun, could you help me, please?

I'm sorry, mrs. Higgins.

I want to, but I can't, even though I really want to.

So sorry. Oh, not to worry, dear.

Uh, princess hildegard?

Excuse me? Princess hildegard?

Gown, fan, curtsy, dance-- princess sofia?

Can y help me, dear?

What's the matter, mrs. Higgins?

Oh! Well, thank you for stoppin'.

I have to bring these books home,

But my wheelbarrow broke,

And I can't carry them myself.

Would you please help me?

Um... I don't live very far.

Just down the path a wee bit.

Just a wee bit.

Oh, mrs. Higgins...

The princess test is starting soon.

Oh...

But, if you live close by...

I guess I can help you real quick.

Oh, well that's very kind of you, dear.

Now you take those, and I'll take these.

They're a bit heavy.

Sofia! Um, where are you going?

To help mrs. Higgins. But what about the princess test?

Mrs. Higgins doesn't live far.

I can make it back in time.

Being late is not a good way to start the test.

Don't worry. I'll see you soon.

Come along, dear. This way!

I just love books!

I can't wait to get home and start reading.

In fact, I'm not going to wait.

oh...

"once upon a time there was a"--

Oh!

Oops...Daisy.

Oh! Ah!

Roosie-doosie-doosie!

Oh, my goodness. I--

Are you okay?

Oh, yes, yes...

Mmm. I'm fine.

Oh.

Now where did I leave off?

"and they all lived happily ever after,

The end." oh, that was fast.

Maybe you should wait until you get home before you read that.

I suppose you're right.

My cottage is just across this bridge.

huckleberry.

The bridge is broken.

I don't think we can get around that fallen tree.

Then how are we going to get to your cottage?

Well, there's another way,

But it'll take a bit longer.

Longer? Um...

But that might make me late for the princess test.

Oh, sofia, dear, I understand if you need to go back.

I'll be okay on my own.

I can't let you carry all these heavy books by yourself, mrs. Higgins.

Oh, sofia, you're such a dear

For going out of your way to help me, you know that?

All the other princesses just rushed right past me.

Gather round, girls. The princess test will now begin.

As you know, a princess meets kings and queens

From all around the world.

So let's see how well you know your royal greetings.

Princess hildegard, you're up first.

This is going to be so easy.

Now, hildegard, imagine you're visiting

The kingdom of wei-ling.

How would you greet the emperor?

I know this! I would...

Uh, you know, I-I would just...

Uh, then, I would...

Uh--uh, I'm sorry.

I can't remember!

That's okay, dear. Princess mae,

I can't believe I forgot the answer!
