Sofia the First

Sofia: "tea for too many"

Hildegard: They're choosing the host of the tea party today.

Today's the day.

I wonder who it's going to be? I hope they pick me.

What's going on? The fairies are picking the student who will host

The next royal prep tea party today.

I love tea parties!

I threw tea parties in the village all the time.

We spread blankets on the ground

And borrowed tea pots and tea cups from our moms.

Borrowed tea cups? On blankets?

Oh sofia. These tea parties are a much bigger deal.

The whole class goes-- even the fairies.

See for yourself, sofia. Clio's had ponies.

Hildy's party had a merry-go-round.

Amber's party was my favorite.

We rode hot air balloons.

It was remarkable-- even for me.

Wow. Those parties are huge.

Ohh. Good times.

As you know, only students

Who haven't had a chance to host a party

Should submit their names.

Sorry, amber. Oh.

Okay.

And only submit your name once, please.

And now for the drawing.

Oh, this is so exciting!

Let me give the tea pot a good, proper stir.

I'll cross my fingers for you, sofia.

And the host of the next royal prep tea part will be...

Oh! Princess sofia!

works every time.

Congratulations, sofia!

The tea party will be at your castle this weekend.

You can throw any kind of party you like.

This is your chance to show us who you are.

Express yourself, and have fun!

You're going to have to do better than borrowed tea cups, sofia.

Much better.

there have been a lot of grand royal prep tea parties.

What are you going to do for yours, sofia?

Hmm. I have one idea.

Because we princesses are not easy to impress.

Oh, amber. It's just a tea party.

There's no such thing as "just" a tea party.

I think it's a pretty good idea.

I'll show you when we get home.

Here we are!

What is that?

Since there have already been so many big, fancy parties,

I think it would be fun to throw a simple tea party

Like I used to do in the village.

We can spread out blankets on the castle lawn.

Like a picnic? A picnic?

Exactly. What do you think?

You don't want to know. Yes, I do.

I'm not impressed. Oh.

But I didn't tell you my idea for the party favors.

Everyone will get to decorate their own tea cup.

Brilliant! Sounds fun, right?

Hmm. That's not the word I'd use to describe it.

What word would you use?

Um, small. Way too small.

Really? Oh, don't worry, sofia.

Your party is going to be fabulous.

How do you know?

Because you have a secret weapon.

What's that? Me!

So I guess I need to come up with a bigger idea, then.

Oh, sofia. That's what I've been trying to tell you.

Do I need I need to sing the song again? No.

Hmm. Let me think.

I've got it!

Thank you for getting everyone together.

Of course, princess sofia. What can we do for you?

I'm going to have a swan-themed tea party.

We'll set up the tables right beside the swan fountain,

And we'll have swan-shaped cookies and cakes.

Sounds lovely. And...?

More? Definitely more.

Hmm. Maybe we could get mr. Cedric

To make the tables and chairs float in the air

Like the swans float on the water.

Thinking big, sofia. And what else?

We need more? Hmm-hmm.

Hey. What about a big swan cannon that goes ka-boom?

Not helpful, james.

Maybe we can get the swans to put on a little show.

Princes sofia, this all sounds delightful,

But are you sure you want to do so much?

She has to, baileywick.

Ohh. It's true.

All the students and teachers will be there.

It needs to be a great party.

Here. You can use these to keep track of your party plans.

Thanks, baileywick.

Perfect. It looks just like a swan.

Sofia!

Ruby! Jade!

We've been looking all over the castle for you.

I'm planning this tea party for my school.

Oh. That sounds pretty important.

We can come back another time.

No, no, no. I could use a break.

Maybe a little snack? Sounds good to me!

And I know the perfect spot.

Here it is. I tied the ribbon here so I wouldn't forget the way in.

The way in where?

My secret garden.

Whoa! Whoa!

Whooo!

It's beautiful!

Look at all the butterflies!

this reminds me of the tea parties we had in the village.

Are you throwing a party like this for your princess friends?

I wish. They expect a big, fancy tea party.

That's too bad, 'cause I'm having a great time.

me too!

It is nice.

I wish I could stay longer,

But I have a lot left to do.

Aw. Come on.

One more teeny-eeny-weeny- meeny biscuit?

Okay. But just one more.

Or...Maybe two.

Ah, princess sofia.

You're just in time to choose the plates for your party.

This one's nice.

Ugh. If you were a duchess or a countess.

But you are a princess. Hmm.

What's wrong with it?

Yeah. It looks all right to me.

Well, it isn't.

It's to small, too plain, and too simple.

You need something like this.

Oh! Whoa!

Really? Isn't it a bit...Shiny?

Of course! That's the idea, sofia.

When your guests sit down for tea,

You want them to say... Brilliant!

Exactly. Brilliant.

Okay, baileywick, we'll use the gold plates.

Very well, then.

Sofia: Amber, are you sure this isn't too much?

It looks more like a feast than a tea party.

Oh, sofia. You can never have too much of a good thing.

James: You can say that again! James!

Did you eat all the cookies samples?

Sorry. But they're great.
