- I'm angelina ballerina.

Today my friends and I are rehearsing

The cinderellaballet by the russian composer prokofiev.

- Now, remember, a.z.,

You're the prince arriving at the ball,

So walk proudly.

[Regal music]

- A.z. Makes a great prince.

- And with that beautiful tutu, you're the perfect cinderella.

- Thank you.

I couldn't wait to wear it,

So I put it on for the rehearsal.

- Where did you get it, anyway?

- Actually, it's a bit like the cinderellastory.

- [Giggles]

Okay, now I'm interested.

- Well, it all started when...

Polly and I were playing hide-and-seek in the attic

Right after we moved to our new house.

[Gasps]

Wow.

- Three, two, one.

Ready or not, here I come.

Aha, found you.

[Gasps]

Ooh, what's that?

- It's a tutu, a special costume for ballerinas.

- I want a tutu too.

- This tutu isn't even mine.

I just found it in this box.

But I wish it did belong to me.

- Whose is it, then?

- Good question.

And how did it get in our attic?

- I don't know.

- Do you think it could be mum's from when she was little?

- Let's go ask her.

- Dad, look at this tutu we found in the attic.

- We think it's mum's.

- Hmm, well, your mother is out running errands.

You can ask her when she gets back.

- Polly, if this tutu is mum's,

Wouldn't she have given it to us already?

- I guess so.

- And if she were trying to hide it from us in the attic,

She knows we'd find it sooner or later.

- Yeah, we're good snoops.

- This tutu must have been someone else's,

But whose?

Wait a minute.

Dad, didn't mrs. Thimble live in this house

When she was a mouseling?

- Why, yes, she did.

- Maybe mrs. Thimble knows who the tutu belonged to.

Maybe it's even hers.

- Let's go ask her.

- Dad, we're going to mrs. Thimble's store.

- Just be sure to be home for lunch at noon.

That's when mum will be back from her errands.

- We will, dad.

We'll be back at noon.

- On the dot.

- We didn't have much time,

But we had to find out who the tutu belonged to.

- Okay, now the prince waltzes cinderella across the stage.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

- I see what you mean, angelina.

Your story is like cinderella.

- Yeah, finding the tutu is kind of like

Finding the glass slipper...

- And then looking for its real owner...

- And still make it home before the clock strikes : .

- Exactly, so just listen to what happened next.

Hi, mrs. Thimble.

- Hello.

- Well, hello, mouselings.

- Can we ask you a question?

- Certainly. Just give me a moment.

I'm gathering items for an order that was placed over the phone.

- Polly, look at this.

- It's a picture of a ballerina.

- Not just any ballerina, polly.

Doesn't she look like someone we know?

- Mrs. Thimble?

- This tutu could be...

Both: hers.

[Delicate piano and flute music]

♪

- I'm sure the tutu belonged to mrs. Thimble.

She probably used to be a famous ballerina.

- A super-famous ballerina.

- Why, angelina, I just love your beautiful tutu.

- Isn't it your beautiful tutu?

- No.

I've never owned a tutu like that.

[Laughs]

I've never owned a tutu at all.

- But isn't this you in the photo?

- Actually, that's my sister, mrs. Nimble.

She used to be quite the dancer.

- She looks just like you.

- We looked exactly alike,

But I was never as nimble on my toes as she.

Whoa! Oh!

[Laughs]

See?

- If this tutu isn't mrs. Thimble's,

Then whose is it?

- Angelina, look at all that stuff.

- [Gasps]

Everything's hot pink,

Just like the tutu.

- Yes, those are the things I was gathering together

For the phone order from ms. Mimi.

Both: ms. Mimi?

- Yes, ms. Mimi just loves the color pink.

That's why she ordered these hot pink markers,

This hot pink notebook,

And this beautiful hot pink umbrella.

- Could the tutu be ms. Mimi's?

- But how did it get in our house?

- Let's go ask her.

Mrs. Thimble, we can take those to ms. Mimi for you.

- That would be wonderful.

Thank you, angelina.

- We're going to find the tutu owner.

Yay.

- Soon, I hope, because it's almost : .

[Regal music]

- Listen, mouselings,

The waltz is getting faster, more intense.

It's almost midnight.

♪

- So did the tutu belong to ms. Mimi?

- Well, remember in cinderella,

The prince has to try the slipper

On lots and lots of mouselings.

- Yeah, it takes him a long time to find the true owner.

- Exactly.

Just listen to what happened next.

[Delicate piano music]

♪

Polly and I found ms. Mimi in the dance studio.

Hi, ms. Mimi.

- Hello.

- Hello, mouselings.

Mrs. Thimble said you'd be bringing me

The things I ordered from the store.

Thank you so much.

- Um, we also brought something else.

- Oh, really?

What?

- She's wearing it.

- What do you mean?

- My tutu.

I mean your tutu.

It is yours, isn't it?

- Oh, angelina, I didn't even notice the tutu.

- It's yours, right?

- I was going to say it's beautiful,

But no, it's not mine.

- I was so sure the tutu was ms. Mimi's,

But it wasn't.

It looked like our search was not over.

It's not yours?

- Are you sure?

- I'm sure.

I would definitely remember owning a tutu like that.

- Hmm, then it must belong to someone else.

- But who?

- We were completely out of ideas.

[Ticking percussive music]

- Now it's midnight.

Hear how the music sounds like a ticking clock?

Cinderella, it's time to go.

♪

- I can't believe it.

I thought for sure the tutu belonged to ms. Mimi.

- So did we,

And now we had to get home by noon.

- Just like cinderella had to be home by midnight.

Finish the story, angelina.

What happened next?

- Well, polly and I had almost given up

On finding the tutu's owner.

- You made it home in time for lunch:

Pea soup with cheese sandwiches.

Uh, I thought you loved pea soup.

- It's not that, dad.

It's this tutu.

- What's wrong with it?

I think it's rather pretty.

- It's stupendous,

But we spent all morning trying to find the owner,

And we haven't even come close.

- Not even a teeny bit close.

- [Sighs]

- Um, i...i'm not sure what to tell you.

- If only you could tell us who used to own--

- My tutu.

Both: your tutu?

- Yes, that's mine from when I was a little mouseling.

I took a few ballet classes, you know.

- But why were you hiding the tutu in the attic?

- Oh, it must have been in the box

That grandma just sent me.

- That's right.

She said she was cleaning out her garage...

- And she found some of my old things.

I haven't had a chance to look through the box yet.

- I'll bet you would've if you knew

There was a special hot pink tutu in it.

- That's right.

I would have given it to you right away.

- But then we wouldn't have had our adventure.

- Yes, we went all over...

- Looking for the owner of the tutu,

Even though it was our very own mum...

Both: the whole time.

[Giggling]

- So that's how you got your tutu.

- I told you it was a good story.

- Positions, everyone.

The show is about to start.

- And cinderella gets to wear the best hot pink tutu ever.

- Mouselings, I'm afraid I have some bad news.

New cheese city's been hit by a big snowstorm,

And the stars of mousical the musical

Are snowed in,

So I'm so sorry,

But the assembly's been canceled.

- [Gasps] oh, no.

- Canceled?

You mean mousical the musical is not coming to camembert?

Now we won't get to see

The amazing mousical the musical kick line...

- Or sing with the cast...

- Or dance with them.

- And I'll never get to meet my favorite star,

Perry parmesan.

[Bell rings]

- We worked so hard on our kick line.

- And perry parmesan said

Nothing could stop him from coming.

- It wasn't his fault.

Maybe mousical the musical will come another time.

- Or maybe...

Follow me.

We can put on our own show.

- Without the mousicalcast?

- Without perry parmesan?

- Even if mousical the musical isn't coming to camembert,

We can still do a show...

Just for us.

- Viki's right.

We practiced our kick line a lot,

And it's a ton of fun.

[Giggles]

- Yeah, we'll ask ms. Mimi

If we can perform at the assembly anyway.

- Oui, oui.

- Not yet.

We still have to practice one more thing:

Singing mousical the musical while we dance.

- No problem.

We know the words by heart.

- So we just have to put it all together in perfect...

All: unison.

[Giggling]

[Audience murmuring]

- It's time to kick off

The best performance ever at camembert.

[Applause]

- This is it.

- A big welcome to our assembly

And a bigger welcome to our surprise guest,

Someone who skied across the snowy streets

Of new cheese city

And made it to sunny chipping cheddar

To perform with some of our best students.

[Audience oohing]

May I present the star of mousical the musical,

Perry parmesan?

[Cheers and applause]

- Perry parmesan is here?

- He made it through the snowstorm...

Hello. I'm angelina ballerina.

Did you know dance is a wonderful way to exercise?

Just as you warm up before exercise,

You should warm up before dance.

You have to warm your muscles so you won't get hurt.

It's best to warm up by stretching.

You can reach for your toes.

You can reach back.

Stretch that arm, now.

You can even bend backward like a noodle.

And once you're all warmed up, ta-da.

You're ready to dance.

- Hola,marco here.

I'm listening to my friend yibiao play the flute.

Did you know that flutes have been around

Since the time of the cavemen?

Flutes are wind instruments, just like recorders.

That means air makes the sound.

Do you see how yibiao puckers his lips

To push air through the flute

And his fingers cover the holes to make the different pitches?

I want to play flute at the next camembert parade.

It's easier to carry than a tuba.

Gracias,yibiao!
