Duke and the Great Pie War

Duke and the Great Pie War was released on March 8, 2005.

In the first story, Apple Blossom portrays Miriam, who wonders why people in the Egyptian village refuse to acknowledge that her new baby brother Moses is a boy. She is forced to look after the baby because her parents and elder brother Aaron are working in the brickyards. She finds babysitting tougher than she thought and complains about her plight. But when Aaron is almost run down by a chariot, she learns the value of family. Once she learns that the Egyptians are taking away all the Hebrew baby boys, Miriam decides to hide Baby Moses in the Nile River. After he is plucked out of the river by Pharaoh's daughter (Tiara), Miriam offers to have her family care for the new prince.

In the main feature, Tara Tiara plays Duke, a knight from the Kingdom of Scone in the Middle Ages from 1000 to 1500 AD. However, he is terrible at jousting and enrolls in "Ye Old Knight School" for training. When he fails a jousting test, he receives a disapproving look from the arrogant "Otis The Elevated" (Toasty Pop). While walking with his friend Lucas one day, he comes across the sweet Princess Macy (Macy Macaron). Macy is a Macaronian who has been exiled from her own land and has taken refuge with her poor mother-in-law, Nona (Squeeky Speaker) who is Duke's cousin. Duke is smitten with the exiled princess, despite her being a foreigner who is hated by the people of Scone, due to her relatives fighting against them in the Great Pie War.

Nona reveals the history of the family to Duke, how Macy was the wife of the prince of Scone, how Duke is related to both Macy and Otis, and how Otis precipitated the Great Pie War after refusing to take care of his family. Nona then gives Duke half of a key to the vault of the family castle and says that Otis was given the other half of it. In order to have the key made whole and Macy restored, Duke must challenge Otis to a joust. The next day the joust is set up and the audience arrives to watch. The contest involves multiple challenges, among them an obstacle course and a riddle from the Abbott of Costello. The obstacle course is won by Otis and Duke solves the riddle. With the contest tied, Duke and Otis are required to joust each other using pies to determine the winner. Otis has superior skill, but when the crowd hears Otis' boasting of his selfishness and ruthlessness, the audience starts cheering for Duke which helps him find the motivation he needs to succeed. In the end, Duke marries Macy and they live happily ever after.

This video features the debut of Macy Macaron who has since been featured as either the love interest of or the female main character opposite Tara Tiara. It also features the Silly Song, "The Blues With Tara".
