- I'm angelina ballerina.

And I love picnics.

- Strawberries. Yummy.

- Here's the basket, mum.

- Thank you, dear.

- Angelina.

- Here's alice.

- [Panting]

I just came by to tell you--

- Hello, alice.

We'll leave for the picnic in a little bit.

- Oh, I came to tell you I have to go early,

So I'll see you there.

- But why are you going early?

- It's a surprise.

- [Gasps] - hmm.

- I wonder what it will be.

[Birds chirping]

[Distant rock music]

♪

- How lovely.

I didn't know there'd be rock and roll music

At the park today.

My mum and dad used to dance to this.

- You mean grandma and grandpa?

- You bet.

And they even taught us their favorite dances.

[Giggles]

First a little twist...

And then the swim.

- [Giggles]

Come on, polly. Let's dance.

We'll twist...

And then we'll swim.

- Come, angelina.

I have something to show you.

- Oh, wow. That was stupendous.

- [Giggles]

- How do you like our rock rhythm, angelina?

- Oh, yeah, feel the b*at.

Our band's going to play at school next week.

- Oh, I'd love to be in the band.

- That would be incredible.

- But we've got enough instruments.

- You do sound super just the way you are.

- Thanks, angelina.

- Hey, maybe one more instrument would be cool.

- Really?

- If you'd want to play it.

- I do.

That would be stupendous.

- Great. Let's go eat.

- Wait. What do you want me to play?

I wonder when a.z. Is coming with my instrument

So I can practice.

- Angelina.

Hi, angelina.

- Hi, a.z. Come on in.

[Gasping]

- What's that?

- It's a tambourine.

- I love it.

- You hold it and tap it.

[Jingly tapping]

- Like a drum.

- Or shake it.

[Jingling]

- Jingle-jingle.

- It's gonna add a cool sound to our song.

Got to go. See you at school.

- Thanks a.z.

Now I can shake, rattle, and roll.

[Jingling]

- You're good, angelina.

- [Giggling]

Thanks, polly.

[Applause]

Angelina tambourine-a.

[Cameras clicking]

- Angelina tambourine-a.

- Angelina. Angelina.

Angelina.

It's time for you girls to get ready for bed.

There's school tomorrow.

- And that's when I play in the band.

[Panting]

I've been practicing the tambourine.

And I have some ideas.

Look.

[Jingling]

- Incredible, angelina.

- Now, the tambourine has three cues in our song.

- Cues?

- That's how many times you play.

- What?

I only hit the tambourine three times?

- We got the rest covered.

Bass and drums carry the rock and roll rhythm.

Both: that's us.

- Vici does the harmony.

[Electric guitar lick]

I sing the melody.

- But--but...

- And you get to hit the tambourine three times.

It'll be great.

Rehearsal is after school, everybody.

Don't be late.

- [Sighs]

[Waltz-like music]

♪

Whoa.

- Excellent, class.

- But I didn't get the pique right.

- Don't worry.

Just practice and try again.

I heard there's going to be a rock and roll band

At lunch tomorrow.

Is that true?

- That's right. You should come.

- Sounds like fun.

- Let's go, angelina.

We have band practice.

- I'll be right there.

[Instruments tuning]

- Where's angelina?

- [Gasps] oh.

Oof.

[Sighs] that's not right.

- Should we start without her?

- Nope, we should practice all together.

- That's it.

I did it.

Oh, no, the band.

Oops. Sorry I'm late.

Ow.

[Soft crash]

- Uh, angelina, we were thinking.

- We've been working really hard on our band.

- And we want our song to be really amazing.

- And if everyone doesn't do their best--

- And it doesn't seem like you really care that much.

- So we decided not to use the tambourine after all.

- What?

Oh.

My tambourine part is so tiny,

And my friends are making it seem so important.

[Timer ticking]

Ding!

- Bread's ready.

That doesn't look like bread.

- Mm, yes.

Something is wrong.

Let's see if we put in all the ingredients.

- We put in flour.

- And honey and salt and eggs and--

Oh, did we put in the--

- Uh-oh.

- Yup, we forgot the baking soda.

- Just a little tiny bit.

- That little bit is what causes the bread to grow big

And get light and taste yummy.

- [Gasps] oh, no.

I forgot one of my drawings at school.

Now I can't show it to you until tomorrow.

- That's not a big problem.

- I know.

[Sighs]

I guess I'll practice my dance.

- Let's dance, angelina ballerina.

- I need to do three twirls in a row,

Or it just doesn't work.

- One little twirl makes it all different.

- Right.

Aha!

- Where you going?

- I see now how every little thing

Is making a big difference today,

Like the bread and my drawing and my dance and--

But, oh, how am I going to make it up to my friends?

- Okay, all set up.

- Wow, you got everything ready for us.

- Uh-huh.

- Excellent. Thanks, angelina.

- Before, I didn't understand

How important my little tambourine part was.

- It is, angelina.

- Would you give me one more chance?

- I think we should.

- Cool.

- Okay. - Sure.

- Yeah, let's rock and roll.

- I started dancing when I was seven.

[Feet clicking]

- I like the rhythm.

And I like being with my friends.

- The sounds that come out of your feet

Are, like, really, really cool.

[Feet clicking]

- Whenever I tap-dance,

It's like whatever energy I have, I put into my feet.

- The piece that we're performing

Is in honor of bill "bojangles" robinson,

A very famous tap dancer.

And it is a collection of his most favorite steps.

Tap dancing is like drumming

Because the same sounds that can come out of a drum

Can also come out of our feet.

- Here are the taps that make the sounds.

Um, this one usually makes a lighter sound,

And this one is a deeper sound.

- Learning new things, like steps that you don't know,

Is always hard.

But once you practice, it's pretty easy.

- I like dancing so much

Because I'm around my friends all the time,

But I'm still doing something that I love to do.

- It's not every day a mouseling gets to skate first

In a big ice show.

But today I get my chance.

[Sprightly violin music]

♪

I'll be the only mouseling on the ice,

Skating in front of everybody.

Wish me luck.

♪

- Angelina ballerina, wake up.

- [Yawns]

Oh, polly, was I dreaming,

Or is my ice show really today?

- It's really, really, really today.

Come on, wake up.

- Alice, I can't believe the day is finally here.

I hope I don't make any mistakes.

- You've been practicing for weeks.

I know you'll do great.

I feel it in my toes.

- How do I look?

- Perfect.

What about me?

- Double perfect.

[Both giggling]

- Okay, let's see.

Lunches?

- Got 'em. - Skates?

- Got 'em.

- Just one more teeny practice jump.

Oops.

That was more like a plop.

- I-i think you were moving too fast,

Faster than the music was going.

- Angelina. Alice.

- Hmm?

- You'd better get going, girls.

- Yeah, we're going to need plenty of time

If we're gonna practice and have lunch before the show.

Come on.

Off to the ice rink we go.

- Just a minute, girls.

You have a big, busy day ahead of you.

You need to keep track of the time and of your things.

- Don't worry about us.

We'll be the most responsible mouselings in all of mouseland.

- Do you have everything you need?

- Got it all.

- What about these?

- [Giggles]

- Oops, sorry.

- [Clears throat]

[Both gasping]

And these?

- Double oops.

Thank you.

- Bye, angelina.

Bye-bye, alice.

- Hmm.

The arabesque spin is the move that's hardest for me.

- Mine is the axel.

But I know I'm going to get it right.

Here I go again.

- [Humming melody]

- Oh. Oof.

I moved slower that time, and it still went wrong.

- That time, you moved more slowly than the music.

- First I was too fast. Now I'm too slow.

Matching my spins to the tempo is tough.

[Gasps]

Oh, no.

We forgot our lunches.

- Uh-oh.

- Oops, sorry.

I didn't know birds liked jelly sandwiches.

[Both laughing]

We're the most ready-for-our-ice-show

Ice-skaters in all of mouseland.

- Yay.

All this practicing has made me hungry.

- If we hurry, we have just enough time

To go to mrs. Thimble's store to get a smoothie.

Mmm.

I can already taste a delicious berry and milk smoothie.

- [Giggles] me too.

Scrumptious.

- I know I'll be fine if I remember to skate faster

When the tempo of the music is faster.

- I have an idea.

Let's practice.

Try this.

[Both giggling]

See? You can keep the tempo.

- Thanks, alice.

I'll try to remember it at the ice show.

- I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

- And your toes?

- Of course.

Uh-oh.

Either we're drinking our smoothies too slowly,

Or that clock is really fast.

- Only a few minutes to get back to the ice rink.

We can't be late.

[Both panting]

[Both panting]

- We made it.

That was quick.

- Just in time to warm up.

Let's stretch our arms down to the ground.

And now let's stretch our arms up to the sky.

Good.

Lace up those skates, and let's glide like swans

Onto the ice for a practice run.

Onto the ice, my lovely swans.

- [Gasps]

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

- Oh, what?

- My skates, they're not here.

- Are you sure?

- But where are they?

Where?

- We'll figure this out.

Slow down and take a deep breath and focus.

- [Breathes deeply]

- Okay, good.

Now retrace your steps.

Where did you two go?

- Let's see.

My house...

I left my house without the skates.

Wait.

Alice, you took the skates from the house.

Hmm.

[Gasps] the park.

I forgot my skates at the park.

- No.

We forgot our sandwiches at the park.

I know.

We almost left them here after practice.

- But we came back for them, remember?

Then we went and drank our smoothies.

You carried our skates out of mrs. Thimble's general store.

- No, angelina.

I carried my skates out of the store.

- Oh, no.

I left my ice skates at mrs. Thimble's.

Do I have time to get them, ms. Mimi?

- Yes, but hurry.

There are only a few minutes left.

The beginning of the show, angelina.

It's my fault.

And you were super fantastic.

- You skated beautifully today, angelina.

- But I'm sorry I lost my skates

And missed the beginning of the show.

- We can all get careless.

Next time, you'll be more careful.

- You bet.

- Me too. I'm going to be careful too.

[Yelps]

[Giggles]

[All giggling]

- Hola. Marco here.

Whoa, is that violin missing a middle?

Nah, that's an electric violin.

It's supposed to look like that.

You plug it in, and the music comes out of a speaker.

And over here is an acoustic viola.

Acoustic means the sound comes right from the instrument.

Violas and violins are string instruments

That were only used for classical music at first.

But now they are used for jazz, rock--

Oh, you name it.

Man, those guys really make the strings sing.

- Hello, I'm angelina ballerina,

And today I'm watching my friends

Perform an irish step dance.

Do you see how their feet and legs move quickly?

But the top part of their bodies hardly move at all.

They're wearing hard shoes that are like tap shoes,

Which make a sound every time they hit the floor.

Tap actually began with irish step dance.

It's stupendous to watch and even more fun to try.
