And Molly McGee! ♪

I can't wait for
the Global Games.

They enhappify
the whole world all at once!

Okay, but do we really need
26 boxes of Coconut Yim‐Yums?

It's the official snack cake of
the Global Games, Mom.

Yeah, Sharon,
it's what the athletes eat!

Mm‐hmm!

Okay. But just a couple boxes.

‐I don't need anybody going‐‐
‐[clamoring]

...Crazy?

[clerk screams]



What's going on?!

Everyone's panicking!
Should we panic?

I'm panicking!

[over PA]
I'm totally panicking!

[grunts]

Excuse me?
What's going on here?

What are you, new in town?

It's the curse of
the Ice Princess!

‐[man grunts]
‐Oh, that's just a myth.

But the ice storm's real
and it's a‐comin'!

Every four years,
like clockwork!

You'd better stock up
before the storm hits.

Which reminds me...

‐[yells]
‐[grunts]

[all panting]

Canned peas? Potted meat?

Where are
my coconut Yim‐Yums?!

We're lucky we got anything.

Everyone's freaking out
over this storm!

Not just any storm, Molly.

[spookily]
The Curse of the Ice Princess!

You heard Patty.

That's just a myth.

Nah, she's real.

[all] What?!

Oh. I see you haven't
heard of the Ice Princess.

I mean, why would you?

She was just some
pathetic figure skater.

"Figure skater"?

[Scratch]
Back before the internet

when everything was boring,

people watched dumb stuff

like figure skating.

Sonia Davis
was the Ice Princess!

A local girl from Brighton
made good, blah blah blah.

She went all the way
to the Global Games.

She was going for the gold

when she fell
on her last, uh...

‐spin‐a‐ majig.
‐ [Dad] It was a triple axel.

[Scratch] That's what I said.
Whatever.

[crowd gasps]

She lost her medal,

her career,
and her left skate‐‐

We're talkin' epic humiliation!

[crowd laughs]

And now every four years
during the Global Games,

her ghost haunts Brighton Pond.

Causes a huge storm,
shuts down the entire city.

It must be hard reliving
the worst moment of your life

over and over again...

Beating yourself up for
not landing that one big jump...

I mean, you're
basically landing blind

on the edge of a knife!

...Is, what I imagine
she's feeling right now.

Right?

Ow! Hey! I may be dead
but that still hurts!

Uh, Miss Davis?

Hi. My name is Molly McGee.

Proud Brightonian,
decorated Wilder Scout,

and as you can see
by my ectoplasmic BFF,

a good friend to ghosts!

Hello, Molly.

Now off my ice!

I only get it every four years

and my routine
needs to be perfect!

Right, about that...

Um, every time you skate,

you create a huge
ice storm in Brighton.

Yeah, so knock it off!
You lost, lady!

Get on with
your afterlife already!

[growls, grunts]

I deserved that.

You don't know what it's like.

The Global Games were
my chance to be remembered.

If I can skate
my routine cleanly,

make it perfect,
I can prove myself to the world!

But it's hard.

The ice is so unforgiving
and I'm out here alone.

Well, what if you weren't alone?

How about pairs skating?

I mean, I know
I always feel better

‐when I have a friend with me.
‐Oh.

You have anyone in mind?

Ho‐ho‐ho! You bet I do!

Mm. I wonder who.

I've got a me in mind!

Ha ha!

Okay, here we go!
I'm skating and... I'm‐‐

...down.

Okay, don't worry! Ha!

I can learn a lifetime of
skating skills overnight!

This will be fine.
I'm almost...

I'm almost...
I'm there. Okay.

Ahh!

The grace of a baby giraffe.

Dear, I don't know
what that was,

but I wouldn't
call it skating.

And it'll never win the gold!

I need a partner who lives
and breathes skating as I do!

[Scratch deflates]

Pete, it's time.

[gulps]

[dramatic music]

I can't believe it still fits!

...mostly.

Ah! It burns
like a thousand suns!

Oh, my God, Dad, how did we
not know you were a‐‐

‐‐figure skater?
You bet I was.

One of the best.
They called me "Blades"!

The ice was my home.
Until... [gasps]

"The Incident."

I was fifteen.

A shoo‐in to win Regionals.

I was so nervous.

All my brothers and sisters

were there in the front row.

Don't you go chokin' there,
Silly!

‐[grunts]
‐[crowd gasps]

Flush, why don't ya?

[laughs]

After that,
Blades lost his edge.

I never skated again.

Wait, wait, wait,

you had a cool nickname
like "Blades"

and went back to Pete?!

That's a good point, Darryl,
but not the point.

It's time to come out
of retirement!

Not just for yourself, but for
Sonia, and all of Brighton!

Let's see if I remember
any of my old moves...

[grunts]

He's graceful!

He's powerful!

He glides like a bird
over a tranquil sea!

[sighs]

I mean, if you're
into that kinda thing...

Which, maybe I am?

Now you are a true skater!

A worthy partner
for the Ice Princess!

Well, I've never been
to the Global Games,

but I was a tri‐state junior
skate champ, so...

Same thing.
Game recognizes game.

What do you say, Sonia?

Well, tomorrow is
the anniversary of my routine...

[gasps] We could have
our own Global Games

here on Brighton Pond!

[Sonia]
You've got yourself a deal!

‐Just one small caveat...
‐[hand cracks]

If I put myself out there
and fail again,

if we are anything
less than perfect,

I will cover Brighton
in ice forever!

"Forever"?

[munching]

‐Hit me.
‐I think you've
had enough cocoa.

[Dad] I said hit me!

[sighs]
What was I thinking?

I haven't skated in years

and now the fate
of the whole town

is riding on
these rusty old skates .

Come on, Dad!
Everyone loves a comeback!

Yeah, Blades!
Reclaim that ice!

Yeah! Show us those,
uh... them whirly jumps!

Maybe I can do this.

Take back the ice.
Find redemption!

Unless you fall.

Then Brighton
will be frozen for all eternity.

Sorry, really
misread the vibe here.

‐Welcome, everyone,
to the Global Games!
‐...Of Brighton.

So not very global at all.

Really‐‐ really only
the one town here!

That's true.
One small but mighty town!

Here come our first
and only skaters:

Sonia Davis,
the hometown pride and joy,

and Pete "Blades" McGee,

the hot rod with the dad bod.

♪ Like a Phoenix
From the ashes ♪

♪ Rising up
Taking flight ♪

♪ On a quest for redemption ♪

♪ In a leotard too tight... ♪

♪ We've got a second chance ♪

♪ At glory ♪

♪ We'll write a new act
To the story ♪

♪ And no one passion
Will ignite us ♪

♪ If this plantar fasciitis
Doesn't flare ♪

♪ We're almost there ♪

Look at that!
A double flying flippy‐dip!

Sure I just made that up,
but whatever

Blades and Sonia are doing,

it is beautiful!

Like they're dancing
on a winter's cloud!

Here comes the moment of truth!
The final jump!

♪ Send us back
The glory ♪

‐ ♪ We'll write a‐‐ ♪
‐ [crack]

Ooh! Ahh! That smarts.

Ahh! [groans]

And Blades goes down!

Ooh, this is
bad news for Brighton.

I had...

I'm sorry! [stammers]
So sorry!

So much fun!

[laughs]

Maybe that's what I really lost.

Not a gold medal,
but my love of the sport.

Now I've found it again.

Thank you, Pete...

[enchanting music]

Dad! You did it!
Oof!

[grunts]
I'm so proud of you, Pete!

Think you could teach me
one of those spinny moves?

Sure! Believe it or not,

this one's called
a scratch spin...

‐[all laugh]
‐[Scratch] Wow!

[Dad] Yeah!

♪ The Ghost and Molly McGee ♪

Come on , come on,
refresh!

Nothing on the school website
or the local news' accounts.

[sighs]
What is taking so long?!

Good morning!
I'm Joanie Pataky,

I know all you kids
at home are watching

to see which schools
are closed

so let's get down to business.

Snow business.

Perfektborg... closed!

Mewline... closed!

Oconohaw, closed!

Closed... closed... closed!

And...

‐[chattering]
‐ That's it.

‐ [record scratches]
‐What?! No!

That's every town around us!

‐[thud]
‐[gasps] Hold on a tick.

We've got late‐breaking news!

There's also a snow day for...

Brighton!

[both] Snow day!

[electronic
"Jingle Bells" plays]

‐[grunts]
‐I'm going out to play with
Becca and Charlie!

Whoo!!

[gasps]

‐[phone rings]
‐Hi, this is‐‐

Libby! Snow day!
Get over here!

Scratch!

‐[snores]
‐[Molly] Oh, Scratch!

Oh, no‐no‐no‐no‐no!

I was just about to
eat my dream waffles!

‐I'm glad you're up!
‐[groans]

You know that whole
"Rest in Peace" thing?

You're ruining that for me.

Sorry, bud, this couldn't wait
because today is a snow day!

[shimmering]

This, my good Scratch,

is a list of all the fun things
we have to do on a snow day!

‐Let me paint you
a picture.
‐Hmph.

[Molly]
We've got sledding...

[Scratch]
Why am I the one pushing?

[Molly]
We got snow ball fights!

[Scratch] Why am I juggling?

You know I don't even
know how to juggle.

[Molly] We got snow cones
made from real snow.

[Scratch]
Tell me this lemon.

And that's just
the beginning of the list!

Aren't you so excited?!

No! Mm.
It looks cold out there.

Sorry, Scratch. But you're
gonna have to get on board

'Cause Libby's coming over,
and y'know,

once she's here,
it'll be two versus one.

Majority rules!
That's just 'Friendship Law'.

Jeez, you always have
to have your way, don'cha?

‐It's my most charming trait!
‐Is it?

[all shiver]

It's cold, Molly.
Real cold.

[screams]

Oof!

Okay, so there's
a slight wind chill‐‐

but we have to
spend the day outside!

That's what snow days are about!

Or maybe we just spend the day
doing hygge instead?

‐Hoo‐goo‐what now?
‐Oh, It's the Danish art
of being comfy‐cozy!

Hygge is about staying warm
in front of a blazing fire,

snuggling under a fluffy blanket

and hanging out with
your best pals

while drinking hot cocoa!

Oh, sorry, Libs

but Scratch and I
are really set

on tackling
this snow day list so...

uh, two against one!

Ah‐ah‐ah!
Wait‐wait‐wait.

Libby, my dear friend,

I think you just might be
on to something.

I love the idea of hygge!

You know how much
I love getting comfy.

Well, maybe we could do that on
a different non‐snow day but‐‐

So, Libby wants to do hygge .

And I want to do hygge .

I mean,
I'm not great at math,

but I think we've
got two‐guh for hygge

versus you‐guh.

And majority rules,
right, Molly?

‐Yes.
‐Perfect!

I love democracy!

Come on, Molly,
give hygge a chance.

But... my snow day...

[sighs] I gotta get
someone on my side.

But who?

[gasps] Of course!

Oh, boy, I sure wish
Geoff the ghost were here.

J‐E‐F‐‐

Oh, oh, oh, easy mistake
to make, Molly.

Don't you worry.
It's actually G‐E‐O‐‐

‐‐F‐F, yeah I know. I have
a very important job for you!

Okay, Geoff,
just like we rehearsed.

Don't worry,
I'm a convincing actor.

You know, I played Abe Lincoln
in a school presentation once!

[Molly]
Yes, I was there. Go!

Hello, Scratch and Libby!

Now that I,
Geoff‐‐ G‐E‐O‐F‐F, is here,

there are four friends!

How convenient.

Huh. I sure would love
to go outside.

Yup, that would be my choice
for how we,

as a group, spend the day.

I guess that makes this
two‐versus‐ two. [winces]

Wow, how do we
break a tie like this?

Ooh, I know!

Let's consult
the Friendship Handbook!

Ah! Yes, here it is!

Article 62.

Whoever is wearing
the most colors

right now gets to decide!

And, uh, okay, let's see here‐‐

[muttering]
One, two, three, four, five...

Ooh, would you look at that?
It's me!

And if I'm deciding
the tiebreaker,

I really think
we should go out‐‐

Uh, Molls, you might want to

check that math again.

Geoff, how could you?!

[sighs] I'm sorry!

But have you tried this cocoa?

I mean, my outsides
and insides are warm.

Now come here, buddy,
let's snuggle!

[Molly]
Hey, three friends.

I've gathered a group of four
and we talked about it and‐‐

‐Talked about what...?
‐...we've decided

we'd like to go spend
the day outside

doing all of my
fun snow activities!

So it looks like you guys have
been outvoted. Majority rules!

Well, if that's how
you guys all really feel.

Hm. Such a shame, though.
I mean...

[inhales] I know how much
Sharon loves sitting

in front of a warm fire

basking in the glow
of good company.

It speaks to something
deep in my soul.

Hygge...

And I know that Pete here
has never said no to a s'more.

Once I have one,
I want s'more ...

He wants s'more.

[laughs] ...he says it‐‐
it never gets old, Pete.

Come on, Molly, join us.

Enjoy the hygge.

No! This is a snow day!

We have to experience
the snow!

Fine! Then I'm gonna go outside

to play with Darryl
and his friends. Okay?!

[sighs]

It's snow‐time!

[yelps]

Too cold out there!

[grunts] Ahh!

Okay, last chance to hop aboard
the snow day train.

All right? Choo‐choo.
Anybody?

Anybody?!

Looks like I'm going out
on my own then!

[Mom] Who wants cookies?

Warm cookies!

[all cheering] Hooray! Yeah!
[laughter]

No! You're not getting
sucked in now, McGee!

Who cares if you can't
feel your toes?

Fun makes
the body numb sometimes!

Ahh, I've never been
so relaxed in my life.

I can't tell where
the pillows end and I begin.

Oh, there I am. Hm.

[wind howls]

I hope Molly's okay out there...

[shivering, cackling]

[cackling continues]

Ha‐ha! Finally,
you guys will listen to me

and I can have a real
snowball fight with my pals!

[laughs]
Come on, guys! Hit me!

It's no fun if
you don't fight back!

[imitating Libby]
Don't you worry, Molly!

We'll play with you!
We're your best friends!

[pants] Oof!

[cackles]

Good throw Libby, what an arm!

[laughs]
Oh, we do have fun!!

Isn't this so great?

It's the only way
to spend a snow day! Right?

Guys?

[Scratch]
Libby here doesn't want to
hurt your feelings,

but I'm a lovable jerk
so I'll tell you the truth‐‐

You don't always
get to be the boss.

Sometimes you have to do what
your friends want to do.

Wow, Snow‐Scratch, that's a...

that's kind of a hard truth
you're dropping on me.

I thought since I made you,
you'd be on my side‐‐

And a good snow day
shouldn't be about what you do‐‐

but who you spend it with!

Wouldn't you rather be
with me and Libby right now?

I am with you and Libby!

Okay, yeah, I would...

Wow, subconscious...
I think you're right.

It's not fair for me
to always lead.

From now on,
I promise to really listen

to what my friends want.

Huh! Thanks, inner‐self!

Ha‐ha. Okay, maybe the cold
is affecting my brain.

I should go inside.

You're good, Scratch.
Truly, an excellent friend.

Mwah! Nope!
Too cold out here. I hate it.

Scratch, Libby,

I owe you both an apology.

I should've been
a better friend

and listened to what you
wanted to do.

[chuckles]
Aw, hoog it out, Molly!

[Scratch sighs]

Ooh, this is pretty nice.

I would like to never
leave this blanket, please!

Yeah, um, I'm actually getting
a little... too toasty.

‐Anyone else?
‐Yeah, starting to feel like
a roasted marshmallow over here.

‐Yeah, me, too.
‐We have been inside all day...

Maybe we should
all go outside.

Hygge!
