[GLASS BREAKS]
Ooh, dang. I-I broke another Christmas ornament. My... my bad.
Your bad? Break another one, it's gonna be your butt!
Season's greetings, family.
Oh, looks like the gift that keeps on taking is here.
- Hush, little girl. - Perfect timing, Uncle Daniel.
You can help me untangle these Christmas lights.
[SCOFFS] Nice of you to share your job with me, Shaka,
but, uh, I'm just here for the gumbo.
No work, no gumbo.
[GRACE LAUGHS]
Step aside and let a man fix it.
Grandpa, when's your special gumbo gonna be ready? I'm hungry.
Sorry, Ami, but the secret of a great gumbo is time.
- [EXPLOSION] - [SCREAMING]
[LAUGHING] That screaming wasn't very manly.
[IN DEEP VOICE] My voice's still deeper than yours.
I'm taking this basket to the neighbors. I'll be right back.
Hey, come on, guys. Let's go binge-watch some Christmas movies.
[AMI] Yeah!
- Hey! - Yeah!
[GROANS] It's not fair. I should be able to get what I really want.
Honey, you have lost your mind
if you think we're gonna buy you $1,500 Christian Louboutins.
Well, luckily, they're on sale for a very reasonable 700!
Dad, please. It's Christmas.
What are you guys talking about?
Your delusional niece wants a pair of red bottoms.
You are too young to be wearing five-inch heels.
Five-inch heels? Girl, just ask for stilts instead.
Y'all are so old-fashioned.
Thank you, Uncle Daniel. Speak.
Yeah. It's no big deal.
These days, all the women are wearing these shoes.
Exactly. Women. Jade is a 15-year-old girl.
You are not grown.
Well, I can't wait until I'm old enough to do whatever I want.
Jade, that time is coming all too soon. Slow down.
Don't be in such a rush to grow up.
[SCOFFS] It's too late.
I'm already grown.
It's you guys who refuse to recognize it! [YELLS]
[ETHEREAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[JADE, ECHOING] I'm old enough
to do whatever I want.
I'm grown.
I'm old enough

[GASPS]
[AMI GRUNTS]
Where are we? These Christmas decorations are so extra.
Well, the sign says "Grown City."
[MAZZI] Hm.
Never heard of it.
Yeah, me neither. I don't think we're in Georgia anymore.
Ya don't say?
Ooh, we have visitors.
Come on in to Grown City. We are your welcome committee.
I'm Ebony. That's Essence. He's Jet.
Stick with us and you'll be set.
No need to fear. We are always here.
No need to fuss. Just call on us.
Right on. Okay. Let's, uh...
be sil-lay. [CHUCKLES]
Could have let a brother know we was doing the rhyme thing.
We are in a group chat for a reason.
[ARGUING INDISTINCTLY]
Hey, hey! Could somebody please just tell us where we are?
[CHUCKLES] Well, you in Grown City,
where no matter how old you are, you grown.
Even me?
Even you.
- What does that mean? - What do we do?
- [WOMEN CHUCKLE] - "What do we do?"
Whatever you want. Did I mention
you grown?
Hey, follow me.
What a beautiful store! What do you sell?
Everything you want, darling!

[EBONY CHUCKLES]
I'm only gonna tell you one more time.
You need to cut it with all the rhymes.
Hey, I did it!
I'm a poet and I didn't even know it! [GASPS]
Do y'all hear what I'm saying?
Can you get what I'm saying though? [CHUCKLES]
I could get used to this place.
Free stuff by just swiping a piece of plastic.
[SIGHS] Being an adult is like being in heaven.
Hello, peasants. [SCOFFS]
- Are you an angel? - How dare you?
I'm the Silver Witch, the baddest witch on this side of Grown City,
and I want you to take off my ruby stilettos.
Oh, no, my sister. Uh-uh. You gotta get your own.
Besides, they're much too small for your feet.
Well, you know what they say about witches with big feet?
- No. - We kick a lot of butt!
And if you don't give me those shoes,
you're going to regret it
for the last five seconds of your miserable life!
- [CHILDREN SCREAM] - [SHAKA] Whoa, whoa!
Jade, give her those shoes before you end up barbecued.
[ETHEREAL HARP MUSIC PLAYING]
Ooh, you're pretty!
Thank you. I'm the Golden Witch.
You can call me Goldie.
Well, no one invited you, goody Goldie.
Witch, please! Leave these children alone!
Go back to your side of town!
There are no children in Grown City.
And besides, I want those shoes to wear
to the Witches' Annual Christmas Party.
[MOANING]
Back off, Silvie!
The fashion police put a warrant out for your arrest.
[SHRIEKS]
I wish a witch would.
This ain't over, Goldie.
[GOLDIE GRUNTS]
I'm just gonna say it.
I don't like her.
Goldie, you're amazing.
Tell me something I don't know. [LAUGHING]
But what I do know is you are all really just kids.
You have no business being in Grown City.
I agree. That evil witch scared 20 years off of my life.
Oh, I'm keeping my stuff.
Fine. But, children, hurry home.
Trust me, this is no place for you.
What direction is Columbus?
Follow the purple and gold road to the Enchanted Elevator.
[ETHEREAL MUSIC PLAYING]
- She could have given us a ride. - I knew he was gonna say that.
- That makes sense. - It's fine. Come on.
[CLUB MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]
[GASPS] This is the club Ebony, Essence, and Jet mentioned!
Who cares? We're looking for the Enchanted Elevator.
Right. [SIGHS]
After I go check out this club. [LAUGHS]
But Goldie said to hurry home.
No. She said, "Children, hurry home."
Unlike you, I am grown.
- But she said... - Nuh-uh!
Go on without me. I'll come home when I'm ready.
Okay, girl. You do you.

So how long are we gonna be in town?
Well, I was headed home,
but I'm just having so much fun, I don't wanna go.
This is so much better than having to be a kid
and listen to everybody else's rules. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, but I gotta admit,
sometimes I miss the good old days of being a kid.
No way.

Yes way.

[JADE GIGGLES]
I wouldn't trade being an adult for anything.
Good.
- Then here's your bill. - [CHUCKLES]
No problem. I've got it covered. [CHUCKLES]
- [SIGHS] - [MOZ CLEARS THROAT]
[MACHINE BEEPS]
"Denied"?
Perhaps you could use another card?
I don't... I don't have another card.
Mmm.
- [MOZ WHISTLING] - [SCISSORS SNIPPING]
[JADE SPLUTTERING] Excuse...
Excuse me! Excuse me!
Well, this sucks. [CHUCKLES]
I'm ready to go home now.
Tired of being an adult?
No.
It was just easier with my parents paying the bills.

Shaka, you home already?
[SHAKA] Jade, The Man kidnapped Mazzi and Ami! We need help!
What?
Uh...
What are you still doing here? You don't have any money.
I just found out that my brother and sister
were kidnapped by The Man.
Uh-oh.
The Man's looking for you too? You better get outta here.
- I'll be gone in a blink. - Not possible.
I stand corrected.
That girl's good.
[GASPS] Look! The Man is making Mazzi and Ami work on his money farm.
[SHAKA] I always wondered what money laundering was.
It's exactly how I pictured it.
Look at poor Mazzi and Ami.
Keep going, kids.
The Man don't like it when you slow down.
We're working as fast as we can.
Well, go faster,
or the debt collectors might toss you
into The Man's bottomless money pit.
- Stick to the plan? - You bet.

You're not leaving Grown City in those shoes.
Girl, you need to let it go.
I bought them. They're mine.
And you can't have them. Sorry, not sorry, Karen.
Give me those shoes!
Or I'll eat the children.
[SCREAMING]
Uh, Jade, either you give her the shoes or I will.
Didn't I tell you to leave these children alone?
Goldie, thank God you are here.
Please zap this crazy witch so we can go home.
Oh, no, you misunderstood me.
I'm here to protect the kids, not you.
You grown and fabulous, remember?
- What? - Adults fight their own battles.

That's right, Ms. Thing.
You're bad enough to wear those shoes,
be bad enough to be buried in them.
Her darkness is real.
Okay. All right. No, come on. Come on. Hey.
All right, let's go. We gonna fight or what?
What's happening? Come on.
Put 'em up. Let's go, let's go! It's about to go down. Come on, girl.
Uh, Jade is the only one who's about to go down.
Oh, no, no, dear!

Jade, honey, are you sure you're okay?

I was in this place called Grown City,
and Miss Candy and Daniel,
and that Black girl from High School Musical was there.
Oh! And this evil witch who looked just like you
was trying to steal my shoes.
How did you know she was evil?
Maybe she had good taste and was on a budget.
