" Violet: Princess sofia! Rise and shine! ( yawns ) Good morning, violet! And what would you like to wear today, milady? My purple dress.

Right, purple it is.

But which purple dress? I guess I do have a lot.

How about that one? Here you go.

Thanks.

I can put it on.

You know, tomorrow, I get to wear a fancy dress, too! You mean for the villagers ball? Oh, yes! It's so lovely of king roland To throw a party for everyone in town.

My mom and I used to go every year when we lived in the village.

But this will be my first time going as a princess! Oh, the whole town's so excited! Everyone in dunwiddie looks forward To the villagers ball all year! ( bell rings ) oh! Time for breakfast.

Thanks, violet.

Maybe later I can help you pick out your dress for the ball.

You're too sweet, milady, but it's my job to serve you.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm famished.

Excuse me, your majesty, but we have quite a bit to do today And a few things need your immediate attention.

All right, baileywick.

Go ahead.

The new schoolhouse is finished.

When should we open it? Tomorrow.

And I'll be there myself for the opening.

Excellent.

The village playground needs new equipment.

Swings, see-saw, and a dragon-shaped slide.

There aren't enough vegetables in the community garden to feed the villagers.

What should we do? Plant more seeds.

Then have cedric sprinkle them with his magical grow-fast powder.

Now if you don't mind, I'm going to eat my breakfast.

Most important meal of the day, you know.

Actually, your majesty, we still have a few things to take care of.

How many things? Pardon me, queen miranda.

Whoa, dad sure has a lot to do today! He always has a lot to do, sofia.

He's the king.

( sighs ) looks like I'm in for another busy day.

Indeed.

Now what kind of cake would you like for the villagers ball? Cake? On top of everything else, I have to worry about cake? We can do that for you, dad! Since you have so much to do.

That would be great, sofia.

Thank you.

Just write down what kind of cake you want on the order form And I'll bring it to the village baker.

Now we must be off to the throne room, your majesty.

You're already late for your first appointment.

( sighs ) I'm on my way.

And I'm off to the attic to look for decorations for the ball tomorrow.

So, what kind of cake should we order? I vote for strawberry.

With lots of chocolate chips! I think the cake should be 99 layers tall! Okay, make it a hundred.

One hundred it is.

I'm going to bring this to dad.

You know, we should try to help him as much as we can today.

I'll help him eat his muffin! Dad! Wait! Here.

A hundred layers? Oh, that must have been amber's idea.

Thanks, sofia.

You've been a big help.

Dad, wait! I can help you more.

All day if you want! Mm, I'd love that.

Great! What are we doing first? These are the funniest jesters in the kingdom.

But only one can be the new court jester.

Hmm, which one do you like, sofia? ( laughs ) he's really funny! Excuse me, your majesty.

This urgent note just arrived from king nasir of khaldoun.

Oh.

( laughs ) Dad, you've got to see this! Just a moment Nasir wants to borrow some flying horses.

That's fine, but tell him he needs To return our royal toolbox some time this year.

Yes, your majesty.

( laughs ) Thank you! There! He's the one! Mr.

Teapot! You're right.

Baileywick, that's the new jester.

Excellent.

Then it's on to the knighting ceremony.

And after that, you'll need to approve the expansion plans for the enchanted animal park And meet with constable myles about the elf situation.

The elf situation? Good news, your majesty.

We've finished everything on your list.

( yawns ) finally.

I'm exhausted.

Then I'll make sure dinner is served right away so you can get to bed early tonight.

We have an even bigger day tomorrow.

Hey, great.

Hi, mom! What are you doing? Oh, just sprucing up the castle for the villagers ball.

Look, I found this mirror tucked away in the back of the attic.

Hmm, I don't think I've ever seen it before.

It's very unusual.

I know.

Isn't it great? Well, I'm going to go check on the ballroom.

See you at dinner.

Okay.

Bye, mom! Oh, the mirror's crooked! Well, a king's work is never done.

It's still not Well, it's straight enough.

Oh! I forgot to give baileywick the cake order.

I can bring it to him.

You've had a real long day.

Imagine what an easy life the village baker must have.

What do you mean? Well, all he has to do is bake bread and cake.

Whereas I have a whole kingdom to run.

On days like this, I wish I were the village baker.

It would be such a simple life, just the five of us.

( sighs ) well, we better get to dinner While I still have time to eat it.

Okay.

( gasps ) What's that? Huh.

I must be seeing things.

( rooster crows ) ( gasps ) Huh? ( crows ) Where am I? Oh, just one more tiara, daddy, please? Amber, wake up! What are you doing in my room? This isn't your room.

Where are we? ( gasps ) And why is there only one dress in that closet? And where's my tiara?! ( amber screams ) ( gasps ) amber?! Whoa! Ugh! Is everyone okay? Where are we? And whose nightgown am I wearing? I don't know.

Look, there's the castle! We must be in the village! That can't be.

We all went to bed in the castle last night.

( knock at door ) baileywick! Someone's at the door! Uh, I don't think baileywick's here.

Okay, everyone get dressed.

( knock at door ) This is the ugliest dress I've ever seen.

That's not a dress, amber.

It's an apron.

( screams ) ( knock at door ) Coming! ( knock at door ) Uh, this looks like a bakery.

Uh, hello? 'morning, everyone! Two loaves of bread, please, roland! Excuse me? Two loaves of bread! Why are you asking me? Because you're the baker.

No, I'm the king! You? The king? Ha! That's a good joke.

Everyone knows you're roland the baker! And let me guess.

Next you'll tell me you're the queen? No.

I'm the princess.

( laughs ) what a sense of humor you all have! So, roland, can I have my bread now? Here you go.

Thanks.

The king.

( laughs ) Bye! Why would that man think you're a baker, daddy? I have no idea.

Yesterday, at the castle, dad wished he was a baker.

I did? You're right, sofia.

I did.

Well, it looks like your wish came true.

But how? I don't know.

Maybe some kind of magic spell was cast on us.

Maybe cedric messed up one of his spells again.

Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get back to the castle and undo the spell Before someone asks us to Bake something! Wait! This spell might not be such a bad thing.

I mean, we could look at it as a vacation! A vacation? A vacation?! Yeah.

Life in the castle is so busy and demanding.

This is my chance to get a break from being king.

If we stay here, all we have to do is bake some bread.

Then we can relax and spend some time together.

Oh, rollie, I know it sounds good, but I used to live in the village And I'm not sure being a baker is as easy as you think.

It couldn't possibly be harder than being king! So what do you say everyone? Well, if it's what you really want I'll do it.

Me, too.

Could be fun.

Or it could be horrible.

I want to go back to the castle.

Come on, amber.

Dad needs a break.

Can't you just do this for him? Oh, pretty please? Fine, I'll stay But I won't like it.

Thanks, everyone! Now let's do a little baking and then a lot of relaxing! Huh? But, dad, we don't know how to bake.

That's okay.

Mom and I can teach you.

Not unless we get some more flour! And milk and eggs.

Here, chicky, chicky! I need your eggs, please! ( sighs ) Why does she keep running away? Probably because you're chasing her.

You should check the chicken coop.

Oh.

Good idea! ( grunts ) I've got the flour! ( screams ) Help! ( screams ) ( groans ) Oh ( clucks ) What are you doing, dad? I'm getting milk! Cow, I command you to give me milk this instant! ( moos ) I don't think that's how it works.

It isn't? I'll show you, dear.

( milking ) Hmm.

Fascinating! James: Ah! Oops! ( screams ) the chicken's coming! The chicken's coming! Run! ( screams ) Perhaps we should get inside and start baking.

To make bread, first you gently sift the flour.

Got it.

Sift the flour! Oh my! I can't see anything! Oof! ( all coughing ) Uh, I think some of that flour made it into the bowl.

And the rest of it is all over us.

I know! Isn't it great?! ( laughs ) Perhaps baking is a little harder than you thought.

It's only our first time.

I'm sure we'll get better at it.

Well, I'm ready to go back to the castle whenever you are, daddy.

Uh-uh, not so fast.

We've hardly given this simple life a chance! life as a king is filled with stresses I spend my days fixing royal messes so let me kiss that world good-bye and give the simple life a try don't need my hands in every matter I only want to mix this batter but we don't know a thing about dough is icky, sticky goop the way to go? I know my life will be easy here free from the stress and strife I'm sure our days will be breezy here living the simple life Ooh.

( moos ) let's all get off the royal fast track a baker's life is much more laid back but here in town we've still got stress and not a tiara or fancy dress I know my life will be easy here just me with the kids and wife I'm sure our days will be breezy here living the simple life give it a try and you'll see it's fun baking a croissant or cinnamon bun but look out it's rising up and up just pat it down with a measuring cup I just need time to practice cooking and make the pastries better looking I hope you're right I really do 'cause what I'm eating tastes like Ew! glue you see life isn't so easy here still we got stress and strife but I'm sure our days could be breezy here living the simple life but it doesn't seem easy or simple or breezy here in this not so simple life ( moos ) Aha! Oh, no.

( sighs ) I'm sure we'll get the hang of it.

Oh, sofia! We are never going to get the hang of it! I know.

And dad doesn't look any less busy than when he was king.

( groans ) that's the third one today! Mom, we don't think this is working out the way dad wanted.

It's true.

He may not want to admit it, But he's a much better king than a baker.

Mom, mom! Can we go to the playground? Please? In a minute, dear.

I need to buy some bread.

One loaf, please.

I'll help her.

Here you go, ma'am.

Sorry it's a bit lumpy.

Now can we go play? Come on, mom, hurry! Okay, okay, you two! Thank you! ( gasps ) wait! You gave me too much! I'll be right back.

( laughing ) Watch me, mom! Excuse me, ma'am, you forgot your change.

Oh, thank you! I was in such a rush.

My kids couldn't wait to ride this slide! Whoa! Whoo-hoo! I wish he could see how happy he's made all the children.

Me, too.

Then he'd see why he needs to be king.

( gasps ) wait, that's it! Mom! Amber! I know what to do about dad! What? All the great things he's done for the villagers.

Then he'll want to be king again.

Oh, I hope you're right.

Dad, will you help me make the bread deliveries? Sure.

Great! There you go! Enjoy the bread! ( laughs ) you can't catch me! Hey, dad.

Isn't that the new playground equipment you ordered? ( children laughing ) Yeah, you're right, sofia.

The children sure like that slide.

Come on.

We have more bread to deliver.

I don't understand.

The garden was empty yesterday.

And now look at all this! King roland and his sorcerer make everything grow faster, honey.

Thank goodness for that.

We'll have to thank the king at the villagers ball tonight.

Oh, the ball! I can't wait to dance in the great ballroom! Whoa! The villagers ball.

I forgot all about it.

I wonder if everything's ready at the castle.

We don't have to worry about that anymore, dad.

We're bakers now.

Bakers, right.

( chuckles ) Look, sofia.

It's the new schoolhouse.

Miss sarkin! Oh, hello, roland.

I'm afraid we won't need any bread today after all.

The king never showed up to open the school, So we had to send all the children home.

Oh, that's right.

I was supposed to open the school.

( clears throat ) I mean, the king was supposed to.

I heard no one has seen the king all day.

And if he doesn't show up soon, they're going to cancel the villagers ball tonight.

Oh, I hope nothing bad happened to him.

He is the best king enchancia ever had.

I never thought about what would happen if I wasn't king anymore.

I know it's a hard job, dad.

But you're really good at it.

And the people need you.

( children laughing ) You're right, sofia.

I think it's time I become king again.

( bell dings ) I have an announcement! I want to be king again! Finally! Yes! Aw, already? I'm glad to hear it.

But how can we undo this spell? Good question, miranda.

I don't know.

I don't even know what caused it.

Uh Oh! Think back to when you made the wish.

Where were you? What were you doing? Well, I was with sofia in the castle.

I remember talking about how much easier life would be as a baker.

But we were alone.

No, we weren't.

The mirror was there, too! Ah, of course! What mirror? The mirror mom found in the attic! Dad made his wish in front of it.

And right after, I saw the mirror sparkle and shimmer! Maybe it's a magic mirror that grants wishes! Well, that would certainly explain everything! So to undo the spell, maybe all you need to do is go back to the mirror And wish to be king again! It might just be that simple.

But, daddy, how are we going to get in the castle? ( bell dings ) good day, roland.

Baileywick! I've missed you, old friend! Is this how you greet all your customers? Oh, uh, right.

( clears throat ) Only our favorite customers.

I'm here to pick up the cake for the villager's ball.

Um, what cake? I ordered it yesterday.

Strawberry, vanilla icing, Sound familiar? Ah, of course! The cake.

I'm afraid-- It's not finished yet! But as soon as it is, We'll bring it to the castle in person! ( sighs ) nothing's going right today.

Don't worry.

It'll be there in plenty of time for the ball.

If there is a ball.

No one has any idea where the king is and it's getting late.

All right, we better start-- I mean finish that cake.

( chuckles ) See you at the castle.

I hope so.

And no goodbye hug if you don't mind.

( chuckles ) of course not.

Bye now! Good thinking, sofia! When we bring the cake to the castle, We can find the magic mirror and undo the spell! You're forgetting one thing.

What? First we have to bake the cake.

And not just any cake.

It has to be Thanks, amber.

It'll be impossible to bake a cake like that.

Well, if I've learned one thing today, It's that some things in life are very difficult, But worth all the hard work.

So let's start baking! Why did I ask for a hundred layers? Well, we did it.

We sure did.

Let's get it to the castle before it tips over.

I'll get the cart.

King roland: Uh-oh! Catch it! ( grunts ) Wait up! Careful Steady as she goes.

Ah, finally! The cake has arrived! On time, as promised! Mm, I hope it tastes better than it looks.

I hope so, too.

Nope.

Please take this to the ballroom.

Now I better go find the royal family or else there will be no ball! And we better get to the magic mirror! Yes, this way.

Here we are! I really hope this works! I do, too, amber.

( clears throat ) Hello again, magic mirror.

Remember me? I, uh, used to be the king Before you turned me into a baker.

The people in the village need me.

And I need them.

So if you'd be so kind, I very much wish to be king again.

Right now, if possible.

Look! It's sparkling! ( gasps ) It worked! The spell is broken! I'm back! Oh, my sweet, precious tiara! I missed you so! Ahh, it feels good to be kingAgain.

King roland, there you are! Thank goodness! The villagers ball can begin! Splendid, baileywick! But there are a million things you need to do first! Great! Let's get to work! Oh, and would you please have that mirror Put back in the attic? Way, way back in the attic.

It's the only mirror I never want to see again.

Of course, your majesties.

Oh, king roland! It's such an honor! Thank you for planting more food in the garden, your majesty! Of course.

And for the playground! My pleasure.

You are all very welcome.

It is time for the cake! ( oohs and aahs ) ( applause ) So, are you happy to be king again? I'm happy to have a daughter like you, sofia.

You're always looking out for me, Whether I'm a king or a baker.

To king roland, who does so much for so many! All: To king roland! All: To dad! ( applause ) Ugh.

Ugh.

There's something wrong with this cake.

I'll be sure to have a word with the baker.

The cake will be much better next year.

I promise.
