(classical music)

- Head up, darlings.

Head up.

Very good.

Yes, very very good.

One, two, three.

Oh!

Beautiful, my darlings!

Now, listen.

I have wonderful news.

As you know, the

famous Madam Zizi

has returned to the Theater

Royal in 'The Sun Queen'.

- Oh! We saw it last year.

- And we got real sunbeam

costumes for our birthdays.

- Hmm. How nice.

Well, she is coming

here tomorrow

with Mr. Popov, the director,

to take a class with you!

- Oh!?

- Wow!

- Mr. Popov?

- Fantastic!

- Yes!

Because, one of the poor

little sunbeams in the ballet

has the mouse pox.

(mice sighing sadly)

- Does that mean they want

a replacement sunbeam,

Miss Lilly?

- Indeed it does, Angelina.

Indeed, it does!

(mice cheering and

giggling excitedly)

(Henry humming)

- Angelina's going

to be a sunbeam!

- But Mum!

Penelope and Priscilla

have even got the costumes!

- It's not the costumes

that matter, dear.

- And you'll have Henry

there as your mascot.

- Well, I'm going to

need more than a ...

What?

I have to take Henry

with me to the audition?!

- Oh, I promise I'll be

the best mascot ever!

What's a mascot?

- Someone who

brings luck, Henry.

- Mum! Last time

he came to class,

he spilled his drink and

Priscilla slipped in it!

(dad laughs)

- Henry doesn't have

accidents like that anymore.

- Hmm.

(mice exclaiming)

Sorry!

- Oh ...

(Angelina sighs)

(murmuring)

- Bad news Darlings!

Priscilla and Penelope

cannot be here.

They have the mouse pocks.

- Oh, Hurrah, ah, ah, ah.

Ah, that is bad news.

- Yes.

- Alice, this Sunbeam

is about to shine.

(Alice exclaims)

- Skip, skip, round and turn.

Skip. Skip, round and turn.

Skip. Skip, round and turn.

- Excellent

- Charming!

Oh, Charming!

- Sit still!

- The little pink mousling.

(Angelina exclaims)

- On your own, please.

(classical music)

(wasp buzzing)

- [Madam Zizi] Enchanting.

- Oh, oh, oh my lady bug!.

Come here.

- Oh.

- Ah, got it!

- Oh, this is the sweetest

little mousling I ever saw.

Popov, We must have

these little mouseling

for the Sunbeam.

- But, Zizi.

- Who is he.

- He is Angelina's

little cousin.

He's not the one of our best.

- He is... Divine!

- But, Zizi!

- I insist, the boy

mouseling is the new Sunbeam,

and the pink one will

be the understudy.

So, You must come to

all the rehearsals,

and help your little cousin

be a perfect Sunbeam.

And watch carefully watch.

(Twinkling)

- Watch...watch, while

Henry gets to dance.

Oh Alice!

- When Madame Zizi

sees how good you are,

She's bound to make

room for another Sunbeam

Especially if you

put in some extra

little twirls and

twiddles and stuff.

- Oh Alice, You're a genius!

(classical music)

- Do the jumps like

Angelina, copy Angelina!

Now move back Angelina.

They must learn to do it alone.

Back more, Angelina!

Perfect, Angelina.

- Really!

(Henry exclaims)

- Charming!

Enchanting.

- Zizi!

- Popov.

- Zizi, the boy

mousling can do nothing!

- Ah, He will be

so sweet, Popov.

The audience will love him!

- Zizi!

- Its hopeless Alice,

their using all my

ideas and not me.

Yes Henry, we know.

Alice, how can I get

Madam Zizi to notice me?

- I'm going to be a Sunbeam...

- Goodness, Angelina.

You expect me to wait

on you hand and foot.

I'm not your servant.

- Servant, ooh!

- La,la,la.

- Your shawl, Madame Zizi.

- Round my shoulders, Angelina.

- There.

- Please tell the wardrobe

mistress to make this bigger.

- Its too small.

- Yes, Madame Zizi.

(drum roll)

- Oh Henry, look

where your going

- Angelina, where's the stage?

- Oh, not now Henry.

Can't you see I'm busy?

- Make sure it is

straight, Angelina.

(Alice exclaims)

(Alice sighs)

- Oh where is the

little boy mousling!

- Here I am!

- Oh, It's not his fault.

Angeline should have

been looking after him

like I told her too, Angeline!

- Yes.

- Cheer up, Angelina.

Maybe they will want

an extra Sunbeam,

there's still time.

- No, that isn't Alice.

Oh, it's not fair

- Only one more day to go,

then I'm a Sunbeam, Alice.

And Everyone's coming.

My mom, my dad, Miss

Lilly, everyone!

- I can't bear it, I

just can't bear it!

(Angelina cries)

- Angelina, wait!

- [Popov] Zizi, you

have to listen to me.

- [Madam Zizi] I

do listen Popov,

I just don't agree.

- Zizi, I am telling you,

we will have to bring on

the understudy Sunbeam.

- The understudy Sunbeam,

Alice, that's me!

- [Popov] His timing is

out, he forgets his steps.

Zizi, the little boy

mousling will have to go!

- What?

Oh no Henry, He's

going to fire Henry.

- [Popov] No sense of

music, no sense of dance!

- But he is so sweet!

What's your, oh.

- Please give him one

last chance, Mr. Popov.

I can help him.

I promise I can.

Please

- Yes, Popov

You will give him

one more chance

at the dress rehearsal

tomorrow! I insist!

- But Zizi, Zizi!

- [Popov] Zizi!

- Come on Henry.

You're going to be the

best Sunbeam ever shone.

- Well done.

Now, we'll try it all again.

Watch me remember.

- Yes, Angelina.

(twinkling)

- [Angelina] Sit still Henry.

- [Henry] There

on the wrong feet.

- Disaster!

Catastrophe!

- Whatever is the matter, Zizi?

- Can you not see

what is the matter,

another one of our little

Sunbeams has the mouse pocks!

(Mice exclaim)

(classical music)

(audience applause)

(audience applause)

- Oh Henry, you were wonderful!

- You were perfect Henry

and it was all thanks

to you, Angelina.

(door knocking)

- Room service?

Cheesy niblets sent by Alice,

for two spectacular

spotty Sunbeams

(laughing)

(bright, classical music)

- Thank you.

- Its a lovely day.

- That's lovely.

- I'm Arthur, King of the

Earth, King of the sky!

Whoops!

(laughing)

- Ill go.

(birds chirping)

Oh, look!

Oh, your the most beautiful

thing I've ever seen!

- Angelina

(shush)

(mice exclaim)

- He's beautiful!

- I wonder why he's shaking?

- Shacking?

Oh dear, its his leg.

I think it's broken.

- Oh, just look at

those wonderful wings.

Poor little poop chick.

- Can I hold him Angelina?

- No, Henry can't

you see he's hurt.

Don't worry.

I'll take you home

and look after you.

- Does he have a name.

- Erm, Arthur.

- There you go.

- Perfect place for Arthur to

live in until he gets better.

- Thanks dad.

- Can I put him in the jar

Angelina, please can I.

- No, Henry, what if you

broke one of his other legs?

- Careful does it.

There we go.

Right, now you need

to make some air holes

so that Arthur can breathe.

- Oh, I'll do it, I'll do it!

- No, Henry, you will not!

- I bet he must be starving.

- Hmm. I wonder what

butterflies like to eat?

- Flowers.

It says here that

butterfly sip nectar

from lots of different

types of flowers.

- What's nectar?

- It's a kind of

sweet sugary juice.

- Maybe he'd like

a lick of this.

- Don't be silly, Henry.

- Oh Arthur, I'm

going to find you

the sweetest Rose in the world.

- Please can I hold

him Angelina, please?

- Henry, No!

There's his pillow

and there's his swing.

I wonder what he'll need next?

- Lots of sunshine

and plenty of freedom.

- A slide, he'd love a slide!

- I expect you'll be

ready to go home soon.

I mean his legs all better now.

He doesn't even have a limp.

- Yes, but he's

still very ill, Alice

He can't even fly yet.

- Oh!

Look, he's flying!

Arthur's really really flying.

(mice exclaim)

Its like he's dancing.

- Angelina.

- No Alice. What if he

hurts himself again?

Its very dangerous out there.

- [Henry] He does look sad.

Maybe he doesn't

like living in there.

- [Angelina]

Rubbish. He loves it.

Don't you Arthur?

This is your home until

you're totally better.

Which probably

won't be for years.

- Time for lunch

- Oh, goodie.

- Come on, Henry.

- Oops.

Here Arthur, come to Henry.

Please, let me hold you.

I won't hurt you I won't.

- Come on, Henry. We're waiting.

- Oh Henry!

What have you done?

Arthur! Arthur where are you?!

Please come back!

- Angelina, wait! Wait

- Go away Henry, just go away!

You've done enough.

- Oh yes, I knew I'd find you.

Oh no!

- Arthur?

- Do you mind, young mousling?

(blows)

(Angelina crying)

- Don't cry Angelina,

please don't.

- Its no use.

Ill never see Arthur again.

Never.

- Maybe he's gone home.

- Yes!

Arthur!

Arthur!

Oh Arthur, I'm so

glad to see you!

(Angelina screams)

- Wait for me!

- Oh help!

- Angelina?

- Henry, get me out!

- But where are you?

- Down here, in this

horrible dark hole!

- Oh yes there you are!

Don't worry Angelina,

I'll get you out.

Here grab this.

Almost.

Nearly.

Got it?

I think I've sat on something.

- Yes Henry, you've

sat on my head.

- Oh hold on.

- Angelina?

- Don't say a word.

- But I'm scared. What if

were trapped in here forever?

What if they never find us?

- It's okay, Henry. Its okay.

- Angelina!

- Henry!

- Where are you!

- Angelina!

- Angelina!

- Henry!

- Henry!

- Where is my darling Angelina?

Where?

What if something

dreadful happened to her?

- Now, now, We'll

find them soon.

They couldn't have gone far.

Right you three,

follow me and...

- And you must search to right,

and you to the left.

- Ow!

- Ow!

- Arthur?

- No Alice, It's me, William.

- Look its Arthur

I think he's trying

to tell something.

Quick everyone, follow Arthur!

(tense music)

(panting)

- Help!

- Help!

- Help!

- Help!

- Over there!

- Help!

- Help!

- I can here them,

there over here, oh!

Oops.

- Your supposed to rescue

us, Alice, not squash us.

(laughing)

- Well, well what

do we have here?

- My darlings, don't

worry. I am here.

- Catch henry.

(Angelina sighs)

- Arthur didn't even

come to say goodbye.

- Arthur! You came back!

- Wait! Wait!

- Quick Angelina, Quick!

- Bye Arthur.

- But, Angelina!

- No Henry, being

trapped is awful.

For Arthur to be really

happy, he needs to be free.

Oh look!

oh wow!

(bright classical music)

(bright classical music)

- [Angelina] Oh

there being Sunbeams!

Just like me and Henry.

I loved being a Sunbeam

pretending to be high up in

the sky way above the clouds,

making the earth warm and light,

seeing everything that's

happening in the world.

Being a dancer means you

can be anything you want,

like...

Like Arthur the butterfly.

Butterflies are

so light they can

balance on the tiniest

flower and not bend it

and they're very quiet,

you can hardly hear them

fluttering their wings.

It's very difficult to

pretend to be so delicate.

Or, you can be a cat!

Even though cats are much

bigger than butterflies,

They're very light

on their feet.

And they're really

good at jumping,

most of the time.

(slow, bouncy music)

- What are Scarlet

and Caitlin doing?

- I know!

Its the Pas de chat!

That means cat like steps.

I wonder what Callum and Toby

and Hamish are being now?

Something big and heavy.

There's Scarlet! And

she's got a trunk,

and a tail!

Trunks and tails.

And they make the ground

shake when they walk.

I know, there being elephants!

(bright classical music)

- These aren't elephant feet.

- Oh, it's the Sunbeams again.

- If I could dance

anything in the world

I'd be a Sunbeam

because Sunbeams can see

the butterflies and the

cats and the elephants.

- I'd Love to be the

sun Queen like Kaitlin.

I wonder what it feels

like to be a queen?

Wearing a crown with

everyone kneeling to you.

(bright classical music)
