The Littlest Princess

"The Littlest Princess" is the forty-ninth episode of the Disney Junior animated series, Sofia the First, which premiered on July 1, 2015.

Plot
The castle is getting ready for the annual Gifting Day Party. While outside picking flowers for the party, Sofia discovers three wee sprites named Button, Benngee, and Brody who are trapped in the water fountain. Sofia rescuses them from the fountain and her amulet glows. After making a stray comment about being small, Sofia suddenly shrinks. Realizing what must've happened, Sofia discovers her amulet has blessed her with the power to shrink to sprite size and back. Through a song, Sofia voices how great being small is. After Sofia returns to normal, the sprites ask her if they can sleep over and Sofia tells them she has to ask her mother, who says no. The sprites convince Sofia to sneak them in and, while they play in her dollhouse, her amulet glows again.

The next morning, Sofia discovers she's still tiny and tries to get back to normal but fails. Clover appears and, after hearing what happened, concludes that her amulet put a curse on her and she needs to get the sprites out of the castle to break it. Meanwhile, Miranda goes around the castle looking for Sofia and asks everyone if they've seen her and everyone answers no. When she finds tiny footprints, Miranda realizes what's going on and who's responsible and doubles her efforts to find her daughter. Meanwhile, Sofia and Clover find the sprites "having fun" causing trouble around the castle. She tricks them into going outside and tries to return to normal only to discover she's still cursed because of the sprites' teleportation ability, to her despair.

Miranda is still looking for Sofia when she discovers the sprites. She chases them into Sofia and discovers her daughter's condition. Sofia tells her about the curse and apologizes for her actions. Miranda tells her the only way to get rid of sprites is to make them say they want to leave out loud and comes up with a plan. Sofia doesn't see how her mother's plan will get rid of the sprites but Miranda sternly tells her daughter that her inability to just trust those around her made her not listen to her which caused this problem in the first place and if she wants to break the curse and get back to normal she needs to just have faith and listen to her this time. Sofia executes her mother's plan in a way that breaks the curse and returns her to normal. Later, after the party, she gives the sprites her dollhouse as their new home.
