[sighs]
OK, just need to make this look like that.
[meows]
What? Don't think I can
handle preparing
the whole Thanksgiving meal by myself?
[meows]
Well we'll see about that.
I am prepped.
[pigeon coos]
All right. I've never dressed
a turkey before.
But you're going to look so cute
when we're finished.
Etta, watch it!
[meows]
[ringing]
Hey, girl.
Hey.
So I know Raffa wants us
to have our duo name
before his big social media push,
and I've been wracking my brain.
But with all the Thanksgiving festivities,
I got nothing.
You?
Nope. I've got turkey
on the brain.
It's literally all I can think
about because
Your most favorite person
on the whole planet,
your Grandma Vi,
is coming to your house for Thanksgiving?
Oh, have I mentioned that once or twice?
I'd round it up to 1,000.
[laughs]
[laughs] I just really want
to make it sp--
[Barbie] Make it special.
And you will.
You know, I did take an online
cooking course called
"How to Sh-Sh-Shake Up
Your Stuffing."
So I could help you out.
Maybe stir and measure some ingredients?
Or you could just chill, Dad.
I've got this.
[laughs]
Yeah, you do.
Barbie, look out!
Woah!
Close one.
We're setting up our annual
turkey trot obstacle course.
Check it out.
You know, most families
just celebrate the day
by eating way too much turkey
and falling asleep watching football.
Huh. Not this family.
I've won three years in a row.
Hi, Brooklyn.
But this year belongs to me.
Wooooah!
Whew.
[sighs]
Everyone's been working on their skills.
So it's anybody's race.
[whispers] Between you and me
they don't stand a chance.
This is my year!
[laughs]
Go get em, girl.
Woah!
[sighs heavily]
I had no idea how tricky
prepping a turkey is.
Or how slippery.
You're braver than us.
My mom decided we'd skip making
the turkey ourselves this year.
She ordered one online.
Locally sourced, organic, the works.
Barbie! On your left.
Oop!
Well if dodging obstacles is the goal,
you've got this in the bag.
Woop.
[laughs]
This? This is nothing.
You should see what we do for Christmas.
I better go.
Things are getting haywire over here.
You're going to do great.
Call you later.
Chelsea, step away from the bale!
[phone beeps]
See? Dressed and looking good.
[meows]
Etta!
You sure you don't need
any help, baby-girl?
Thanks, Dad, but
I know, you so got it.
And I can't wait to get some
of that sweet potato pie.
My favorite.
No tasting before the meal.
And I've got it all taken care of
so you, Mom, and especially
Grandma can relax.
Please, Dad. Chill.
But if I'm going to chill,
All right, all right.
I'm going to chill so hard this
whole house will turn to ice.
- [car honking]
- Oh!
[both] They're here.
What you waiting for, Christmas?
Come on and give your Granny Vi
some sugar.
Mm-mm!
At this beautiful young lady.
Will you just look
with my little puddin'?
What have you done
I think she's still in here somewhere.
Your luxurious chamber awaits.
This way, Mother Dear.
[laughs]
Mom, since you're taking a break
from hosting Thanksgiving this year,
Barbie's preparing the meal.
Which means all of the grown
folks can relax.
Right, and I'm on a tight schedule
get back to it.
So I'd better
[sniffs]
Oh, I'd be happy to lend a hand.
Huh? Wait, what?
Needs more nutmeg and cinnamon.
But I put exactly how much
the recipe said.
Ha. That should do it.
Granny Vi, the whole reason
I wanted to make this meal
was so you didn't have to lift a finger.
Please relax.
Planned down to the last detail.
I promise I've got everything
on a little secret, puddin'.
Let me let you in
Plans are well and good
but they mostly ruin life's surprises.
Now pass me the oregano.
I can't argue with her.
What? She's my mom.
[doorbell rings]
[Mom] Ah, that must be
the turkey delivery.
Can someone grab the door?
I got it, Mom!
Hi there. Got your turkey.
[gobbles]
[gasps]
[gobbles]
Oh.
I think you've got the wrong house.
Well, you ordered
a sustainable, locally farmed
free-range turkey.
Yeah?
His name is Franklin.
Well, here it is.
[gobbles]
[gasps]
[gobbles]
On the drive over
your mom filled me in on your new school
and your singing duo with your friend,
the other Barbie Roberts.
Ha! What are the odds?
Quite the performer in her day.
You know, your old granny was
Really?
When I was growing up in Harlem
my friends and I would enter
all the local contests,
doing dances like the mashed
potatoes and gravy.
Oh, that gives me a hankering.
Grab me some potatoes, puddin'.
But, Granny Vi, I've already
prepped the side dishes.
A nap after your long flight?
Are you sure you don't want
Nonsense.
That never sleeps to take a nap?
Who comes back to the city
[sighs]
Little word to the wise.
Hey, sweetie.
When Granny Vi takes charge,
I learned long ago that
everyone else should just stand back.
To start peeling?
Now who wants
See what I mean?
Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Thanks so much for your help.
The farm delivery company
can't pick up the turkey
until tomorrow.
[all] Tomorrow?!
[gobbles]
Sorry, gang.
The mix-up was my fault.
The fine print on the website.
Apparently I didn't read
It happens, Mom.
But what are we supposed to do
with the live turkey?
[gobbles]
with Franklin 'til then?
Excuse me,
Uh, also everyone's cool
for Thanksgiving, right?
With not having turkey
I mean we'll be having a turkey
at Thanksgiving, but
despite our unexpected
Everything will be okay,
[gobbles]
but welcomed guest.
The Roberts' Thanksgiving
will go on as planned.
Other than the main dish, of course.
[gobbling]
Stick with me.
I know where all the good snacks are.
[laughs]
our turkey sitter.
Look like we got
Come on. I'll show you around.
And this is the fridge.
This is the kitchen
[gobbles]
[gasps] Ooh. You've got to see
the party room lights.
And my room.
Who names a turkey Franklin?
No idea.
That reminds me.
Oh! Names!
Brooklyn and I still need
a name for our duo.
Any thoughts?
Let's see.
Toaster and Microwave?
Salt and Paprika?
Hmm. Maybe something
not in the kitchen?
Two Girls in a Band.
Oh.
Or something more unique?
[gobbles]
Franklin?
Puppies, this is Franklin.
Franklin, these are the puppies.
Aww. They like you.
Good thing they like you.
I mean, "want to be friends
with you" like you,
and not "want to eat you" like you.
[gobbles]
There is nothing like the smell
of hot water cornbread sizzling!
Hot water cornbread was also
not on the menu.
Barbie, where'd I put our mixing spoon?
Excuse me for a second.
Here it is, Granny Vi.
[dials phone]
Help. You know I love
my grandma,
but she's taking over the entire meal.
I'm sure she's just excited
to cook with you.
I know, but the whole point was
that I cook the meal for her.
I love her if she won't let me?
How can I show her how much
I'm not sure I'm following that logic.
You know what I mean.
Snacks are you in the mood for?
Okay, Franklin. What kind of
[gobbles]
Ooh, what about chocolate chip cookies?
[gobbles]
Turkeys should definitely
not be eating cookies.
Hold up.
Is that a live turkey?
Long story.
[gobbles angrily]
How are you able to handle
an obstacle course
and a farm animal
one rogue grandmother?
But I can't control
You can handle it.
You've just gotta loosen up
your plans a little.
And look on the bright side.
At least your main course
around the kitchen. isn't running
[gobbling]
True. Can you call me
to remind me of that? every five minutes
[gobbles]
[laughs]
Sure.
[sighs]
Time to see a grandma about a turkey.
Looking good, guys.
- I love it.
- Perfect.
What do you think, Chelsea?
Looks super cool.
And how cool is it that this year
the Turkey Trot is going to have
a real turkey trotting around?
Where's the turkey?
Uh, Chelsea?
Franklin!
I was so excited to come see
how things are going
that I kind of forgot I was
supposed to be watching him.
[gasps]
We gotta find Franklin!
[barking]
[sighs]
[sighs]
Anybody got eyes on the turkey?!
- Ugh, not me
- No luck.
- Nowhere.
- Nope.
[Chelsea] I found Franklin!
Chasing Blissa!
He's out here
[meow]
[gobbling]
Roberts, get that turkey.
[upbeat music]
I got him!
Ha!
Woah!
I don't got him.
[meows]
He's heading for the turkey trot.
[gobbling]
Go Franklin, go!
[gobbling]
Woah!
[grunts]
And Franklin makes it through the hoops.
[gobbling]
[grunting]
Woah!
Aaargh!
Ouch. That one hurt.
Woah!
[screams]
Ugh!
[gobbling]
[growls]
[screams]
Ugh!
Ah-ha!
Franklin, hurry!
[gobbles]
Gotcha.
[screams]
[gobbling wildly]
Yay, Franklin, you win!
The Turkey Trot champion?
How does it feel to be
[confused gobble]
[timer beeping]
is ready for its closeup.
Sounds like our turkey
Mom, let Barbie handle the turkey.
Since you got here.
You haven't rested
Mwah.
You may be grown, Kelvin Roberts,
but I can still send you to your room.
Give your momma some elbow room.
Now you be a good son and
I tried, baby-girl, but I think
it's time I throw in the towel.
Loosen up the plan.
Beautiful.
[gasps]
Whew.
No, kitty, you can't have any.
This birdie is for
Woah!
Granny Vi!
[gasps]
No!
Turkey down!
[sighs]
Maybe we can salvage it?
[truck honks]
[laughs heartily]
My my, that has got to be
the funniest thing
I've seen in years.
And remember, I've seen your dad dance.
[laughs]
Did you hear it splat?
[laughs]
Granny Vi, I just wanted to make
this Thanksgiving
really nice for you.
And maybe I got too worked up
about sticking to my plan.
But you always do so much for us.
This was my chance to return the love.
And now?
You have returned the love, puddin'.
They don't matter.
Plans, shmans.
Like when you're in a dance-off
Well, sometimes they do,
with your arch rival Minnie Martin
and you're both scheduled to cut the rug
to Jolly Wolly Molly.
Somebody better have a plan.
[giggles]
But not with Thanksgiving.
The old idea that turkey makes the meal
and utter hogwash.
Is complete
It's really the company.
And of course the side dishes that matter.
Ooh, did somebody say side dishes?
Because your mom and I are starving.
What happened to the turkey?
The bird flew the coop.
But that's OK.
We just have to loosen up our plans
for life's surprises.
And make way
That's my girl.
Out the plans from here on out?
How about we plan to throw
Deal.
[gobbles]
Guess no one got the win
they were hoping for
at this year's Turkey Trot.
Franklin did.
Oh-ho, I stand corrected.
And I think we all learned
a valuable lesson today.
When life gives you a turkey,
just let it run its course.
[gobbles]
You took my title.
Uh-uh, buddy.
There's no way I'm letting you
take my pie too.
[laughing]
I suggest we have a turkey at, not for,
Thanksgiving every year.
[gobbles]
I believe Franklin likes
the sound of that.
Me too.
[gobbling]
Hit by a moving van?
Like wham!
By now that turkey's probably
moved into a nice studio
in the village.
[laughs]
thanks for all your advice.
By the way,
Between you and Granny Vi
I can see how over planning
can get in the way
of life's surprises.
Like a side dishes-only Thanksgiving.
Mm, so good.
Right? They're delicious.
Live turkey mix-up was crazy,
And I've gotta say the whole
even for my family.
[laughs]
But I'm going to miss Franklin.
Though I think he'll be happier
at the wildlife reserve we found for him.
Chelsea can't wait to take him tomorrow.
Franklin. A distinguished
name for a turkey.
[laughs]
Hey, any progress on our duo name?
Nope, you?
Granny Vi's philosophy Maybe we should use
of going with the flow.
I'm sure the perfect name will come to us
when it's supposed to.
Sorry to interrupt.
Hey, puddin'.
Just stopped by to give you
a kiss goodnight.
Come on in.
Oh, look, it's the Barbies
I've heard so much about.
I'll let you chat with your friend
without cramping your style.
Impossible.
[laughs]
You thinking what I'm thinking?
Totally.
The Barbies has a nice ring to it.
It's so us!
[gobbling]
Chelsea, you forget something?
Oh, I have a turkey to catch.
Again.
See ya!
Franklin, get back here!
[laughs]
