Sofia: "king for a day."
Roland: These pancakes
are delicious.
Could you pass the fruit,
please?
Violet, please refill
everyone's water.
Where'sJames?
He said he has a surprise
he wants to show everyone.
What's the surprise?
That he's late?
Because,
oh, that's no surprise.
Look, everyone!
I had the servants
put wheels on my shoes.
So I can get around
the castle faster.
That's very clever,
james.
Whoa.
I call 'em
rolling wheelie shoes!
What do you think that?
Great idea,James.
If you watch
where you're going.
When I'm king,
I'll make sure
Everyone has a pair
of rolling wheelie shoes.
Luckily,
that won't be any time soon.
You know,James.
Being king is more than
just having fun.
It's about
being responsible.
And generous,
brave, polite.
I'm totally
all of those things!
I can't wait!
Hmm, maybe
you won't have to wait.
What do you mean, dad?
How would you like to be
king for a day?
Brilliant!
What?
But how would that work,
dad?
You're the king.
Well, your mother and I
Are going
to the ever golden glades today
To do some phoenix-watching.
And sketching!
I cannot wait to draw
the fire-tipped phoenix.
( giggles )
So, while we're gone,
You can rule the kingdom,
james,
For one day.
Boom goes the canon.
But, daddy, doesn't know
how to be king!
Besides,
I should get to be queen
For a day first!
I am older.
By seven minutes.
All of you will get a turn.
Really?
Isn't that great, amber?
I should still be first.
Baileywick, let everyone
in the castle know
ThatJames
will be in charge.
Oh, and, uh,
summon cedric.
Right away, your majesty.
Remember,James.
Being king
is a big responsibility.
I know, I know.
This is gonna be
so much fun!
You summoned me,
your majesty?
Ah, cedric.
James is going to be king
for the day.
You're putting a boy
in charge of the entire kingdom?
Yes. And I want you
to help him out.
I have to take orders
from princeJames?
Correct, today,
whateverJames says, goes.
Oh!
Ah, there it is.
I hereby crown you,
kingJames, for the day.
Brilliant!
I hope you rule wisely, son.
I will, dad.
Shall we, miranda?
Did you hear that, amber?
Whatever I say, goes.
Oh, daddy.
Can I go with you?
Sure, why not?
Why, certainly, amber.
Oh!
Why are you leaving?
You're gonna miss
a fun day.
Oh, I'll be back sooner
than you think, kingJames.
Because I know you're going to
make a huge mess of the kingdom
And I'm going
to make sure
Daddy gets back in time
to see it.
Then he'll wish he made me queen
for a day first.
Have fun at the glades!
Toodle-doo!
We will!
See you later!
Okay, baileywick.
Let's do us some kinging!
Right this way,
your majesty.
( frustrated grunts )
This is beyond insulting!
Me, the greatest sorcerer
in the kingdom,
Reduced to nothing more than
a royal baby-sitter!
James: Cedric?
Where's my royal sorcerer?
( groans )
Coming, your majesty!
We have quite a lot
on today's to-do scroll.
All right, baileywick,
what you got?
These proclamations
need approval.
Uh, no problem.
I approve them!
Oh, no, no, no.
You need to read them first,
And then stamp them
with the royal seal.
I have to read all of them?
That sounds like home work.
It's king work.
That could take all day.
Oh, it doesn't look that bad.
And you have to choose
a new coat of arms
For the royal scribes.
Half of them want a dragon
holding a pen
And half of them want a dragon
holding a scroll.
Uh, let's come back
to that one.
And the castle servants
have too much to do
And not enough time
to do it all.
( sighs )
I know how they feel.
Is that it, baileywick?
Not quite.
There's an old, abandoned house
in the village
That might fall down
any minute.
What am I supposed
to do about that?
Well, that's for you to decide,
james.
You're the king.
Excuse me, your majesty,
we have visitors.
Hi, Sofia!
Hi, Sofia!
Guess what?
James is king for a day!
Whoa, you're king now?
Yep.
Good.
Because we have
a giant problem.
We found this by a cave
outside the village.
There must be a giant
inside the cave.
A huge one!
Is he causing trouble?
No, he's asleep.
But that's the problem.
He's snoring really loud.
Like this...
( snores )
Mi-mi-mi-mi.
( snores )
Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi.
Then he stops.
( snores )
Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi.
Then he starts up again.
And it keeps everyone
in the village up all night!
Including us!
Okay, then.
I'll add it to the list.
Snoring giant.
This is ridiculous.
No one told me
being king would be so hard.
There are so many problems.
I don't know
how to fix any of them.
Come on,James,
You always come up
with great ideas.
Like your
rolling wheelie shoes!
Those ideas
are for having fun, Sofia
Not solving royal problems.
Who says
your ideas can't do both?
Solving problems can be fun!
You just have to do things
your way.
TheJames way.

Now what shall we do
about the servants?
I have an idea!
Yes, your majesty.
Holota podrota!
And boom goes the cannon.
Problem solved,
theJames way!
Now the servants
can move twice as fast!
What a great idea,James!
All hail kingJames!
Why does he get
all the credit?
I'm the one
who made it happen.

You're right, Sofia.
I just have to make
everything fun!
I'll be the king of fun!
I'm not sure
that's what she meant.
Since you give
such good advice,
How would you like to be
my royal advisor?
I'd be honored,
kingJames.
Then it shall be so!
Now what's next,
baileywick?
The abandoned house
in the village.
And the snoring giant.
Come along,
my royal advisor.
The king of fun
is on the job!
Oh, thank goodness.
We no longer
have to take orders
From the king of fun.
James: Cedric!
What're you waiting for?
Come on!
( groans )
There.
It's a fire-tipped phoenix.
Look.
Amber: Daddy!
Mother!
Oh, there you are!
( sighs )
Amber, shh!
Why do we have
to be so quiet?
Because loud noises
startle the phoenixes,
Which causes them
to burn up.
Roland: But luckily,
the birds rise again
From their ashes.
Interesting.
Oh, I hope it'll be that easy to
put the kingdom back together
After kingJames is done
making a mess of it.
Maybe we should go back early
and check in on him.
Amber, we've barely
been gone an hour.
I'm sure everything's fine.
( snoring )
What's that sound?
That's the snoring giant.
No wonder
no one's getting any sleep.
We've been up all night.
I know what to do.
I knew you would.
We'll have a party!
What?
A party!
To cheer everyone up.
It'll be super fun.
It does sound fun,
But I don't see
how it's going
To stop the giant
from snoring.
Or help
fix the abandoned house.
Uh, the house, right.
I know.
I'll have cedric turn that house
into gingerbread.
So no more dangerous house
And we won't
have to worry about
Baking enough cookies
for the party.
Boom goes the cannon.
Two problems solved
and double the fun.
James, I think these ideas
might just cause more problems.
Don't worry, sof.
The king of fun knows
what he's doing.
Cedric.
Please turn that house
into gingerbread.
You want me
to make cookies?
I suppose
next you'll ask me
To turn the pond
into chocolate milk?
Yeah, that sounds great!
Do that, too.
Your wish is my command.
Zim zowie zee,
zim zowie zed,
Lacto cocoa,
gingerbread!
Brilliant!
You're the best king
ever!
Yeah, ever!
I just might be.
And again,
no credit.
Baileywick.
We'll also need balloons,
streamers,
Musicians
and refreshments.
I'll arrange everything,
your majesty.
People of dunwiddie!
I, kingJames,
declare it party time!
( overlapping cheering )
( snoring )
This is so much fun.
I can't wait
until you're king of every day!
Me, neither.
Excuse me,James?
The giant's still snoring.
( snoring )
Hmm.
Got it.
Crank up the music, guys!
That way we won't hear
the snoring.
Ta-da!
The king of fun
strikes again.
Yes, but it's just covering up
the problem,
Not solving it.
What's the difference
As long as we don't hear
the snoring?
( snoring )
We need something
louder than music.
Like fireworks!
Fireworks?
But that could wake up
the sleeping giant.
You don't want to do that.
You never want to wake up
a sleeping giant.
Why not?
If he wakes up,
he can join the party.
Cedric!
What is it?
KingJames would like
some fireworks, please.
Fireworks?
Are you sure that's a goo--
yes.
I want the biggest,
brightest,
Loudest fireworks
you've ever conjured.
As your royal advisor,
I advise you not to do this.
Do it.
( gasps )
One set of dazzling fireworks,
coming right up.
Fireworks appear on high.
Crack and boom
across the sky!
All: Oh!
Ah!
Oh!
Ah!
I have a bad feeling
about this.
I have a worse one.
Kinging isn't so hard
after all.
( gasps )
Oh!
( sighs )
What is it, amber?
I just had
a horrible thought.
You know
howJames always goes,
"boom goes the cannon"?
Well, what if he starts making
the real cannons go boom?
Oh, I don't think there's
any need to worry, amber.
Why don't you
sketch with us?
Or maybe we should head back
and check onJames.
Uh, rollie, the whole point
of makingJames king for a day
Is letting him be king
for the whole day.
We have to let him
do this on his own.
It's the only way he'll learn
what it takes to rule a kingdom.
You're right,
I'm being silly.
After all,
he's only in charge for a day.
What's the worst
that could happen?
( snoring )
There, now we can't hear
the snoring at all.
Good news, everyone!
The king of fun has solved
the snoring problem.
( crying )
All: Huh?
What was that?
That is why we can't hear
the snoring anymore,James.
We woke up the giant.
Oh, no.
It's not just a giant.
It's a baby giant.
And you never ever, ever want to
wake a sleeping baby giant!
If that's the baby, I don't
want to meet the parents.
What do we do,
kingJames?
Does anyone have
a really big pacifier?
Oh, no!
Here he comes!
Mr. Cedric!
Is there a spell
you can cast to stop him?
Who?
Me?
Yes, maybe you can,
uh, shrink the giant.
Then he won't be able
to trample anything.
Right, I think
I remember a shrinking spell.
( clears throat )
Gigantus--
oh!
Shrinky-dinkus!
Oh!
My wand!
Uh-oh.
We need to find shelter.
Now!
Oh, right.
Uh, everyone
in the gingerbread house!
He's heading this way.
And this house
isn't very sturdy.
I was told to make a dessert,
not a fortress!
We have to do something.
KingJames
will figure it out.
I will?
You have to.
You're the king.
But I'm not a real king.
I'm just the king of fun.
( blows raspberry )
( squealing )
Everyone over here!
It's not as crumbly.
James.
I know I told you
to do it theJames way,
But being king
isn't just about having fun.
It's about doing
what's best for the kingdom,
Whether it's fun or not.
That's what makes
a good leader.
I guess I got
a little carried away.
A lot carried away.
We've got to find a way
to get the baby giant
Back to sleep.
Right.
You're my royal advisor.
Do you have any ideas?
( gasps )
James, you know
how we sometimes have a snack
To make us sleepy
before we go to bed?
Uh-huh.
Maybe we can use
the gingerbread walls
And the chocolate milk pond
To make a bedtime snack
for the baby giant.
That's a great idea, sof.
Baileywick!
We need to fill a wagon
with giant gingerbread cookies
And a barrel
of chocolate milk.
But first we have to distract
that big baby
Before he knocks
the house down.
What if I get him to chase me
back to his cave?
Then all of you
can meet me there
With the cookies and milk.
But he can outrun you.
( blows raspberry )
True.
But can he out-pogo me?
Now that's an idea fit
for a king.
Hey!
Bet you can't catch me!
Come on!
I'm getting away!
( gasps )
He did it!
( sigh )
Now let's make that
giant-sized bedtime snack.
I found
this gigantic cookie
In the ginger-barn.
Henchmen: Great!
Oh, that's lovely,
miranda.
I'm almost done.
I just have to
finish the tail.
I made a sketch, too.
Why, it's our castle!
Yes, the way it looked
beforeJames was king for a day.
Hmm. I hope
that's not what the castle
Looks like
afterJames is king for a day.
Amber...
Surely, it couldn't hurt
to hop back to the castle
For a minute,
just to see how he's doing?
Well, I finished my sketch.
So if you really want to
interrupt our nice,
Relaxing afternoon
and spoilJames's big day--
Whoa!
Great!
Let's go!
Here comesJames!
I hope this works.
Me too.
Hey! Big baby!
Look,
it's a beddie-bye snack!
Just for you!
Mmm!
I think he likes it.
( yawns )
He's getting sleepy!
I just hope
it's sleepy enough.
Oh.
Can you guys
play a lullaby?
( yawns )
Do you think
he's sleeping?
There's only one way
to find out.
He's asleep!
Hip, hip, hooray!
Shh!
Hip, hip, hooray.
What's going on down there?
Oh, I don't know, daddy.
But it doesn't look good.
Coachman,
land here, please.
Hip, hip, hooray!
Hip, hip, hooray!
Hip, hip, hooray!
All hail kingJames
and princess Sofia!
What is going on here?
Well, there was a baby giant
who woke up.
But we got him
sleeping again.
Well done,James!
It sounds like
you handled yourself
Like a true king today.
Thanks dad,
But I wasn't
a very good king at all.
Yes!
What do you mean?
Sofia is the one
who solved the giant problem.
Not me.
She was the real leader
today.
ButJames
bravely distracted the giant
And led him
all the way back to his cave.
Well, it sounds to me
Like you'll both make
excellent leaders one day.
Maybe you can be queen
for a day next, Sofia.
What?
I'm supposed to be next.
Your majesty?
Yes, baileywick?
I thought you'd like to know
that princeJames
And princess Sofia
Took care of every problem
on the to-do scroll.
( snoring )
Almost every problem.
I have an idea.
Cedric?
Yes, your majesty?
Cedric's been helping me
all day, dad.
He's the best
royal sorcerer.
He is?
I am?
No one would hear the snoring
if that cave had a door.
Can you conjure up
a really heavy door?
Well, a-a-as kingJames wishes.
Porto existo!
Small wand,
small door, you see.
Presto gigantica!
Good idea, kingJames.
Thank you,
royal advisor Sofia.
Shall we head back
to the castle then?
Thank you, cedric. Good job.
You're, you're welcome,
your majesty.
I really thought
you'd break the kingdom,James.
I guess you turned out to be
a decent king after all.
Thanks, amber.
But I'd still be better.
Oh, rollie, I told you we
didn't need to come home early.
You were right.
I thinkJames is going to make
a great king one day.
Oh, look out!
James?
But not today.
