[gasps] I can't believe Rafa
booked us a paying performance job.
Right? Hopefully this means
we can stop taking
all those weird side gigs.
Testing cat litter.
Cleaning rhino stalls at the zoo.
Watching paint dry.
Seriously, how is that a thing?
All I know is I can't wait
to sing our hearts out
in front of an adoring crowd of
Five year olds?
[children giggling]
Oh, did I not mention that?
Uh, no, you didn't.
And who's that guy?
Oops, hey, come back.
Come back here.
That's Magnifico.
If you say so.
So do we go on before or after him?
- Same time.
- Same time as
hold on.
Rafa, don't tell me.
You're his assistants.
Yeah. That's what I meant by
"don't tell me."
So, we're not singing?
Like at all?
Did I not mention that either?
Listen, I'm sure he won't mind
if you, you know,
hum in the background.
Come on. It's not the worst gig
in the world.
I saw Magnifico warming up
earlier, so it might be.
Unless magicians are supposed
to cry after they do a trick.
Hey. I'm Izzy, Rafa's cousin
and a CEO-to-be.
Izzy thought it would be a good
learning experience
to watch me work my managerial
magic today.
She's really good at talking
her way into things.
I haven't decided yet
if I regret my decision.
Well, from what I've seen so far
I definitely regret my decision.
Ladies! Magnifico just needs
some pizazz.
That's why the Barbies are here,
to make his show better than ever.
Because no matter what,
the show must go on.
Look. Don't worry.
I have tons of meetings lined up today
to book you legit singing gigs.
In fact, Izzy and I need to take
off for one right now.
We'll catch up with you
after Magnifico's second show.
Second show?
As in we have to do this twice?
Okay, I know I mentioned that.
No?
Uh well, toodles poodles.
♪
For my next trick I'll turn
my magic wand into flowers.
Huh? We can't hear you.
Speak up.
Oh yeah.
[clears throat]
My assistants will now bring out
[voice cracks]
my wand.
[drum roll]
[fanfare]
♪
[awkward music]
♪
So is that our cue to save the show?
Let's abracadabra do this.
Don't leave yet friends.
Magnifico is just getting warmed up.
You came to see magic
and we are going to show you some magic!
[children giggling]
Right after this very quick intermission.
BRB.
[sighs]
I think for my next trick
I'll make myself disappear.
I can't go back out there.
Magnifico, we're sure
you have great tricks.
But you need to put on a show.
Own the stage!
I don't think my arms go that high.
Okay.
Then just smile big and project your voice
so everyone can hear you.
[inhales]
[pigeon coos]
[gasps] Like that.
Great projection.
Um, what was that?
[cooing]
This is Princess Petunia Pufferfeather.
She is the star of my big finish,
the handkerchief trick.
[cooing]
[gasps]
Love her look.
And those sequins,
we should introduce her stylist
to Rafa before our next show.
Sure. But let's finish
this show first,
before our audience vanishes
into thin air.
For my next trick, I will
[mutters] What was I going to do?
Oh. Yeah. On the stage.
Wait. Maybe I'm doing
that already.
Am I doing that already?
He's not really doing it.
Not even close.
And now I will make this ball
float in front of your very eyes.
Pose.
Ah, ooh.
[grunting]
Ohh.
Mmm.
Mmhmm.
Yeah.
Ooh!
[groans]
Can we have cake now?
Or go home?
And miss the best trick of all?
Gotta get the bird.
This crowd needs a big finish.
I am posing.
Why isn't it working?
Don't worry.
We got this.
Keep your eyes on the handkerchief.
And now the magic words?
Oh right, right.
Um, um, abracadabra zadoolie doobidie doo.
♪
All: Three, two, one. Now!
[coos]
- Oh, no!
- Princess!
[yells]
Look out!
♪
No, my cake! No my
[splattering]
Cake.
She's gone.
My Princess is gone!
What am I going to do?
We could get you another pigeon.
Another pigeon?
Princess watched me pull my
first bird out of my first hat.
Because it was her.
She's not just the star of my show.
She's my best friend.
We're really sorry, Mag.
Can I call you Mag?
We had no idea Princess
was such a special bird.
Don't worry. We promise
we'll get her back.
Your show will go on!
What are you waiting for?
Our next gig's in just a few hours.
That crowd is even tougher.
I can't do it without Princess.
We're on it.
[children laughing]
[child] Look out!
[splattering]
Ooh, chocolate!
Princess loves chocolate.
♪
[cooing]
Princess flew that way.
[gasps]
Which is not a sentence
I thought I'd say today.
Or ever.
Shouldn't be too hard to find
one little pigeon.
How many pigeons can there be
in New York anyway?
[gasps]
Approximately 4,200,007.
My birdwatching group keeps a log.
Oh, they all look the same.
That one's gray with gray wings.
That one's gray with gray wings
and a red sequined collar
and an emerald in the middle.
Oh! That's her.
She does have good taste in accessories.
[coos]
Hurry. We can't lose her again.
♪
Remember, I'm here to teach you
how to become an awesome business manager.
You're here to soak up said awesomeness.
In other words, keep quiet
and learn from the master.
Got it.
And when does this master arrive?
And so the Barbies, they, they sing good.
And your venue would be good
for them to sing good at.
I'm sorry. It's a no.
Can we talk?
Businesswoman to businesswoman.
You remind me of myself.
You work hard.
You deserve a relaxing weekend, right?
And what's more relaxing
than knowing your venue
is totally sold out
thanks to a must-see act.
Just imagine it.
I could finally use my pool.
I can see it now.
Flamingo raft, nice cold
lemonade in your hand.
[sighs]
I love lemonade.
And what's that happy sound I hear?
Could it be the cheers of all
those happy paying customers?
I can hear it, I can hear it!
You've got yourself a booking.
♪
[breathing heavily]
There she is.
[coos]
No, no, no!
[breathing heavily]
Ooh!
I didn't know Dance: The Tale
of a Dancer Who Dances
was coming back to Broadway.
Got great reviews.
We can talk about The Dancer
Who Dances later.
Right now we gotta be
The Focusers Who Focus.
♪
[breathing heavily]
What are you doing?
We need to catch that bird.
And I need fuel.
Quick smoothie?
[slurping]
What you waiting for?
Let's go!
[slurping]
Ooh, did we crush that or what?
We?
Um, that was 100 percent me.
Okay. So, we technically booked
the gig after you stepped in.
But that was just a coincidence.
Yeah?
Then how about I wait outside
at the next one
and we'll just see how you do on your own.
Oh, it's on girl.
It's on.
♪
How is this a good hiding place?
It was either this or a trash can,
and I'll go with easily spotted
over covered in week-old
cream cheese any day.
Mmhmm. Smart call.
[coos]
Okay. So, all we gotta do is
walk up to her nice and slow.
♪
Kay. Now all we gotta do
is sprout wings
and learn how to fly.
That or we climb.
It looks like she's on the
fourth floor, third window over.
To the stairs.
Gotcha!
We don't gotcha.
Where'd she go?
There!
Can pigeons laugh?
It looks like she's laughing at us.
You think we're just going
to give up, Princess?
Have you met us?
We're the girls who watch paint dry.
[breathing heavily]
[grunting]
[breathing heavily]
[grunting]
[breathing heavily]
[grunting]
[out of breath]
I kind of miss watching paint dry.
[coos]
That 9:00 to 5:00 life,
am I right?
So, that was a no.
But it was not my fault.
That guy was an ice man.
No sense of humor.
He wasn't even listening to me.
Give me five minutes.
Actually, make it four.
Izzy!
[laughter]
[Izzy] Thanks, Boss.
And check out that juicer suggestion.
Your pulp problems will be over,
my friend.
[door closes]
Booked it in two minutes.
Awesome. That's awesome.
Then why does your face say
"non-awesome?"
Because I'm the manager.
It's my job to book gigs
for Brooklyn and Malibu,
my two best friends in the whole world.
But it turns out I can't.
They'd be better off with you.
Hey.
Remember the time you mixed green tie-dye,
red plaid and leopard print
on the same jacket?
Mm-hmm. They said it couldn't
be done.
But you did.
And it could.
That jacket was amazing.
- It's a gift.
- See?
You can make anything work.
Like this manager job.
You just gotta turn on the charm.
[gasps] Me? I always turn
on the charm. I am the charm.
Well, usually.
It's just that this feels different.
I get nervous because I don't
want to let them down.
No way.
You've always told me
to believe in myself,
and I listened.
Maybe you should start listening
to yourself.
Hmph. I am pretty wise.
And so are you.
[breathing heavily]
This is why I like watching
birds, not chasing them.
[coos]
[gasps]
This isn't working.
We gotta get her to come to us.
Right. We'll just get her
to come to us.
How do we get her to come to us?
My birdwatching group uses calls.
So you're fluent in bird?
I wouldn't say fluent,
but how hard can it be?
I mean, for pigeons it's
probably something like
[imitating pigeon loudly]
Ooh, ooh! I think
it's something like
[imitating pigeon]
[both imitating pigeons]
Well, that didn't work.
Nope. And my neck hurts.
[stomach growling]
I should've had you get me a smoothie.
It was good.
[gasps]
Wait, that's it.
We can lure Princess with treats.
What do you think she likes?
Let's ask her bestie.
[phone beeps]
Hey Magnifico.
Barbies here.
[Magnifico] Do you have my
Princess?! How is my sweet?
She's good. So good.
Right here, she's totally waving to you.
[Magnifico] Hi, best friend.
Tell her I'm waving back.
Listen. Does Princess have
a favorite snack?
Well, there is one thing she can't resist.
The best decision you'll ever make.
Better than those Pierre
Baguette shoes, my friend,
which are may I just say
nothing short of perfection.
They are surprisingly comfortable too.
We have a deal.
And before you leave there's a
few people I want you to meet.
Told ya.
Those Barbies are lucky to have you.
I know, right?
But you totally helped
and I really appreciate it.
Learned from the best.
And speaking of the exact
opposite of best,
isn't it almost time
for Magnifico's next show?
Ooh, it's in 20 minutes.
We got to wrap this up quick.
We promised the girls we'd be there.
That guy should change his name
from Magnifico to Magnifican't.
♪
Got it!
That looks good.
If Princess doesn't want it
Here you go Petunia.
It's your favorite.
Mmm, poppy.
[loud cooing]
Um, Princess
Any time now!
[cooing]
Malibu, duck!
[laughs]
Duck, pigeons.
Now!
[gasps]
Brooklyn, jump!
[gasps]
They're everywhere.
Catch!
[grunts]
[grunts]
Ah!
[both] No!
[coos]
And she's gone.
And so was our best shot at catching her.
But hey, one bite left.
[gasps]
Are we giving up?
We've tried everything.
Everything except not giving up.
Rafa did say
[both] The show must go on.
[sighs]
Too bad this isn't a show,
because she really does have talent.
Wait. If she loves to perform
as much as we do
The call of the stage
is impossible to resist.
Birds of a feather do flock together.
It's showtime.
Good afternoon New York.
We have a beautiful show for you.
It has heart, joy, and wings.
Wish I had wings just like our Princess,
fly to the sky, can't help but impress.
Dazzling, daring, talent for miles.
Flips and tricks and a great
sense of style.
So, let's welcome our Princess
to the show.
Are you all excited?
Come on, let her know.
[chanting]
Princess! Princess! Princess!
[coos]
Let's go Princess!
Go Princess!
[applause]
- We love you Princess!
- That's some pigeon.
[audience]
Did you see the pigeon?
Now that was a show.
Wait, show!
Magnifico's show!
We have to get Princess back
to him before the finale.
[cheering]
Listen, I know I can totally
handle stuff on my own,
but why don't you co-manage
the Barbies with me?
I appreciate the offer
Fantastic. I'll have my people
call your people.
I mean, I am my people
so I'll just call you.
But I can't.
I'm a kid and I've got
my own kid stuff to do.
Sure. I get it.
You know, maybe when I'm older.
Like 12 or 13.
But if you ever need help
remembering how great you are
I'm totally there.
Deal.
Ah! I can't wait to tell Malibu
and Brooklyn
about all the gigs we're going
Ladies. Wait, why are you here?
Why aren't you at Magnifico's show?
Long story.
Too long. And we're late.
But just so you know Rafa, your whole
"the show must go on" advice
really saved the day.
He did a lot more than that.
He got you real gigs.
Like singing gigs?
Listen. Your days of watching
paint dry?
Officially over.
[shivering]
And for my final trick, keep
your eyes on the handkerchief.
[gasps]
The final trick!
We're too late!
The show must go on.
[inhales]
You came here to see some magic?
So let's see some magic.
This may look empty.
But Princess is here.
Not there!
So, he's about to
No, no, no, no!
But voilà!
[crowd gasps]
[applause]
[both] But how?
Wow. I guess Magnifican.
[applause]
Thank you for all your help today.
I feel like a real performer now.
You were great.
And sorry we scared Princess off.
Oh, you got her back.
That's what matters.
But we gotta know.
How did you pull off that last trick?
Because Princess was still
in Malibu's hands.
Magic!
- [giggles]
- It's real, you know.
Right, Princess Petunia?
[gasps]
Princess?
I've got an idea.
[crowd chanting]
Princess! Princess! Princess!
[crowd] Yeah! Go, Princess!
Oh, wow, that's my favorite pigeon.
Oh, I love you so much.
[exhales]
Now, that's a star.
Princess, saw your act.
Big fan. You got a manager?
