And I haven't even hit a tree yet.
Who was that? It's Grandmum.
Grand-who? My grandmother.
I had no idea she was visiting today.
Come on.
Come on! I can't believe she only sent a messenger five minutes ahead.
We have no time to get ready.
It will be fine, Roland.
Don't worry.
My mother is very prim and proper, Miranda.
Everything needs to be perfect.
Roll out the red carpet! ( giggling ) Sorry, Your Majesty.
Let's go, let's go.
Wait here.
I'll be right back.
Sofia, Grandmother is coming.
I know.
I just saw her carriage.
Be alert, everyone.
Mind your manners.
And remember, your grandmother is very traditional.
Trumpets! Don't forget the trumpets! ( playing fanfare ) All hail the Grand Queen! Mother.
May I help you? Thank you, Roland dear.
Children, come give your grandmother a hug.
What brings you to the castle, Your Majesty? Oh, call me Mum.
I've come to see my wonderful family, and also, Count Barnstorm's Flying Starwing Horse Show! They're coming to Enchancia! Flying horse show? Brilliant.
Brilliant indeed.
I have seen every stop of their world tour.
I didn't know you liked traveling horse shows, Mother.
Well, then I guess there must be a few things you don't know about me.
MINIMUS: Sofia? Sofia! Um, I'll be right back.
Minimus, are you okay? Starwings are coming, Starwings are coming The Starwings are coming! You've heard of them? Yes, I've heard of them.
They're my parents! What? My mom and dad are the stars of the show.
I had no idea your parents were stunt horses.
Well, they weren't always.
After my brother Mazzimo left home, Mom and Dad took up stunt flying as a hobby.
- Really? - Yep.
They were so good, our stable master Barnstorm started a whole show around them.
You must be so excited to see them.
I'm excited to meet them.
I think you're about to.
Here they come.
Here they come! ( playing fanfare ) Behold, one and all, Count Barnstorm's Fantastic Flying Starwing Horse Show has arrived! Oh, look, that's my mom Gemina right there.
I think I see her.
Yep, and my dad Argus is the one in the back there.
Brace yourself, Enchancia, because we are going to put on the greatest show you'll ever see! But that's not all.
After our show, we're going to hold our first-ever amateur contest for would-be stunt flyers.
The winner will get their very own Starwing pin.
Ooh! You heard me right.
There will be two shows in one.
This Sunday! Come on, let's go up.
I wanna show my mom how high and fast I can fly now.
Mom! Dad! Wait up.
Minikins! Mom! Hey, hi.
Did you see how fast I was going? Yes, I did.
And it almost made me keel over in midair.
You're going to hurt yourself flying like that, my little puppy.
( chuckling ) How's my boy? Worrying his poor mother, that's how.
Is this the princess we've heard so much about? Mom, Dad, this is Sofia.
It's so nice to finally meet you.
It's good to meet you, too.
Thank you for taking such great care of my Minikins.
But please, Sofia, you can't let him fly so recklessly.
Mini, you're not built for speed or heights.
- Tell him, Argus.
- Yes, dear.
What your mother said.
All this hovering must be difficult for you, Mini.
Let's get you down.
Mom, you don't have to make such a fuss over me anymore.
I've grown up a lot since I left home.
I'm a Flying Derby Horse now.
Minimus, you know you shouldn't talk and land at the same time.
He's a great Derby Horse, Mrs.
Gemina.
We won a dozen races together.
Mom, it's true.
We even won the Flying Derby championship! Flying Derby? I haven't heard of it.
But I hope it's a nice, safe sport.
( dejected sigh ) ( fanfare playing in distance ) That's our call.
We have to practice for the big show.
We'll find you soon, Minikins.
Yes, Mom.
Your father and I have been looking forward to seeing you this whole tour.
Come along, Argus.
Yes, dear.
Bye, Minikins.
Bye, Mom.
I really hoped she'd finally treat me differently.
I'm a grown horse now! Nope, she's still treating me like a timid little foal.
She does seem a little concerned you might hurt yourself.
She's more than concerned.
She's convinced.
Why? It all started back when I tried out for their stunt show.
One morning, I followed my folks Out on the course Hoping I could be a great daredevil horse I got up some speed And I tried to triple roll But I lost control And conked into a flagpole Oh, boy, that hurt.
Ever since that day No one has ever thought of me As stunt horse material No sirree, and Mom said "Better pick a safe barn life, my son" Now she just thinks of me As the stable one But lately, I've been daring I've been bold Even braved a blizzard with a cold Yeah, I'm a new horse now I'm feeling braver every day I just wish Mom could see me this way Yeah, I'm a new horse now A new horse now Well, then, I have an idea.
Count Barnstorm said there was going to be an amateur stunt contest after the big show, right? So let's enter it.
You and me? Stunt flying? You and me.
We'll come up with a great routine.
Well, I could be daring and fast.
The most daring and the fastest.
Oh, I'm not still that little foal Who tumbled straight into a flagpole Oh, no I'm a new horse now And now my mom will finally see What a flying horse I can be Oh, yeah, oh, yeah! I'm a new horse now So you'll do it? Yeah! I'm a new horse now ( scatting ) 'Cause I'm a new horse now Well, I'm still a little nervous, but not as nervous as I used to be.
So, let's do it.
You'll be amazing.
Tiptoeing, tiptoeing, tiptoeing.
AMBER: Grandmother? Oh, hello there, children.
Just taking a stroll.
Into the stables? This is the stables? Really? I thought it was the guest house.
( laughs ) Well, I must've gotten lost.
Lost? You've lived in this castle.
And you're acting really strange.
What's going on? You can tell us.
Well, it would be a relief to share my little secret.
You're right.
I wasn't lost.
- I was looking for a flying horse.
- Why? Because I want to enter the amateur Starwing contest.
- You do? - But you're our grandmother.
So true, my dear.
But I have also wanted to be a stunt flyer since I was your age.
Ever since I saw my first air show.
And now, I have the chance.
I think it's really exciting.
I'm so glad you told us.
- We'll help you, right, James? - Sure.
Oh, wonderful.
Then perhaps first, you can help me choose a suitable horse.
Who might you recommend? Windfall.
He's really fast, and he'll jump over anything.
Oh, he will do nicely.
Yes, you will.
Now, children, there's one more thing.
I need some sort of disguise.
A disguise? Why? Well, most people see me only one way.
Especially your father.
He likes to think of me as his proper, traditional, boring mother.
But I'm much more than that.
I like a little fun.
I love a new thrill.
( gasps ) Perhaps, though, it's best if your father doesn't see that.
- You know what I mean? - Oh, I do.
And I can do better than a disguise, Grandmother.
How about a whole stunt flying costume? Oh, sounds divine.
Okay, I think the Starwings are done practicing for today, so we should have the arena all to ourselves.
Hey, whatcha doin', bro? Mazzimo, what are you doing here? - Hi, Mazz.
- Hey, Sofia.
Are you here to see your parents' show? Yep.
It's the only thing I ever leave the valley for.
Well, you might see me, too, then.
Sofia and I were just about to start practicing our routine for the Starwing Amateur Contest.
- Maybe you've heard of it.
- Whoa! Go on.
Show me what you got.
All right, well, any good stunt routine has to start with a barrel roll.
Oh, starting with a tough one.
Here you go.
MINIMUS: Here we go! Nice takeoff.
SOFIA: Whoo! Whoa, sweet spin.
Thanks.
Hold on tight, Sofia.
We're gonna do the hoops.
Okay, Minimus.
SOFIA: Nice! Whoa, baby bro's gotten good.
Try some vertical.
Do a firecracker.
Wow.
This is incredible.
I'm a firecracker! GEMINA: Minimus! You were flying so high I could see you all the way from our tent.
Whoa! Mom, what are you doing? Bringing you back down to earth where it is safe.
Mini, what were you doing up there? Mom, go easy on him.
Mazzimo! You came to see our show.
But how could you just sit there and let your brother try a dangerous stunt like that? Minimus, what in the world were you doing flying so high? Sofia and I are practicing for the amateur contest.
Mrs.
Gemina, he's really good at this.
Sweetheart, you're adorable, but this is a family matter.
Did you know about this? Yes, I did, and I'm proud of him for trying.
No.
It is too dangerous.
I forbid you to enter that competition.
- Mom! - Remember what happened last time you tried a flying stunt? Yes, Mother.
I don't want you to ever get hurt like that again.
I want what's best for you, Mini-- the easy life of a stable horse.
I know.
So you agree you're done with this foolishness? Yes, Mother.
That's my baby boy.
So good to your mother.
Oh, boy, you're still letting her treat you like a little foal.
Maybe I am better off just being a stable horse.
Hey, don't let anyone tell you what you can or cannot be.
If you wanna fly stunts, fly stunts.
Mazz is right, Minimus.
You're a new horse now, remember? You know what? You're right.
Okay, let's get back to practice.
Yes! Oh, Grandmum, you look fabulous! Now let's get to the show.
( laughing ) I can't believe my mother enjoys watching this kind of thing.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time.
Count Barnstorm's Flying Starwing Horse Show is about to begin.
Sorry we're late.
Is Grandmum with you? - Who? - Your grandmother? Oh, Grandmother.
Right.
No, no, she's not.
We have absolutely no idea where she is.
But she was looking forward to the show more than anyone.
Hello, my lovely family.
( whispers ) Your riding gloves.
What were those? What were what? I didn't see anything.
Did I miss much? Boy, they are really good.
You're really good, too.
What a show.
What a show! And now, if anyone out there is daring enough to fly in the very same arena as the fantastic Flying Starwings, come, line up.
It's time for our amateur contest! Excuse me a moment.
Where are you going? I'm going to, um, change.
Change? Into what? Here we go.
It's now or never, bro.
Minimus, remember.
In every derby race, and on every adventure we've been on, you always end up doing so much more than you think you can.
I know, and I know.
Okay, I I can do this.
Let's go.
Hi, sweet boys.
Did you see the show? You were great, Mom, like always.
And I'm gonna be great, too.
- What did you say? - I know you're against it, but I really, really wanna enter the amateur contest.
Did you put him up to this? He's his own horse, Mom.
And I'm not the same horse I used to be.
Please, let me show you that.
It's that important to you, Mini? It is.
Then you have my support.
On one condition.
This is ridiculous.
I feel like a balloon animal.
It's only some padding.
You'll be fine.
We know the routine inside and out.
We can still do this.
I'm not sure I can do this! ( yelling ) I'm up, I'm up! Here we go.
- SOFIA: Over here.
- Maybe Mom's right.
I can't see very much, Sofia.
SOFIA: Don't give up.
Go for the hoops.
Wait a second.
Amateurs aren't allowed to fly through the rings of fire.
Come on, fellas, let's put them out.
SOFIA: I believe in you! Whoo! Steady, Minimus.
You've got this.
Just get going.
We're almost there.
This is a disaster.
SOFIA: We've still got one more move.
The firecracker.
MINIMUS: Here we go.
Whoo! Padding too heavy.
( both yelling ) I'm so sorry, Minimus.
( sighs ) It's not your fault.
It wasn't yours, either.
It was the padding.
Mini, are you okay, my little puppy? ( sighs ) I'm fine, Mom.
I just, um I wanna be alone.
As always, our show delivers uncommon surprises.
But let's move on.
Next up, we have a mysterious masked rider.
She's amazing, isn't she? Quite amazing.
It's a shame your grandmother's missing this.
( sighs ) Wish I could've flown like that.
- Oh, no.
- ( gasping ) ( Grandmother exclaiming ) Here I come! ( screaming ) Gotcha! Go, Minimus! Mother? Minimus.
You saved my grandmother.
My Minkins! Oh, you were so daring.
My boy.
You are one wild horse.
Mini, I'm sorry for the padding.
You're not a little foal anymore.
I know that.
And I can't make your choices for you.
So if you want to fly stunts, then I'll support you.
In fact, your mother and I would like it very much if you and Sofia joined us for the Starwing encore.
You really mean it? Wait, are there conditions, Mom? No conditions.
Then I'd love to.
And how about you, Mazzi? So I can have both my boys together.
Yeah.
Why not? Wait.
There's someone else who should get a chance to fly again, too.
My grandmother.
Tiptoeing, tiptoeing.
Tiptoeing, tiptoeing Why didn't you tell me the truth, Mother? Oh, I was afraid you couldn't handle the truth, Roland.
I must admit, I'm a little shocked.
You fell off your horse.
( giggles ) Yes, it's true.
That was not my intention, however.
But it was quite exciting, don't you agree? We have yet another surprise for you, Enchancia.
It has come to my attention that the masked rider the Grand Queen only fell because a rope tore during the previous contestant's routine.
Therefore, she will get a second chance to show off her stunt flying by joining the Starwings in their encore! Oh! How wonderful! BOTH: Go, Grandmother! My mother the stunt flyer.
Hm.
I guess it is kind of exciting.
Brava, Mother! Brava! Minimus, you're a stunt horse now.
No, I'm not.
I'm not just a stunt horse.
I'm a stunt horse and a stable horse.
And a Derby champ.
And adventurer.
And a firecracker!
