- [Angelina] I'd just
like to say how happy
Alice and I are
to win first prize
at this year's Miller's
Pond Boat Carnival.
Oh, thank you, thank you.
(both laughing)
- Come on, Angelina,
it's time for bed.
Now put your dad's trophy back.
(Angelina humming happily)
- Well you won it
four times, Dad.
I'm going to win it this year.
- So how are you going
to decorate your boat?
- Well, it'll be
a huge white swan
with wings on either side,
and in the middle will
be a big gold throne
for Alice and me,
the swan princesses.
- It sounds lovely, dear,
but don't count on
being teamed with Alice.
- Oh, I'm sure I will, Mum!
(humming happily)
(sighs)
- [Student] Shush!
- And Priscilla will
be with Penelope,
(girls giggling)
Flora will be with William,
Angelina will be decorating
a boat with Sammy.
(chokes)
- Sammy?
(grunts in surprise)
(students laughing)
- Angelina?
- Alice will be with Henry.
(giggles)
- Oh, no.
- Felicity will be with Spike.
- [Angelina] Miss?
Do I have to do a
boat with Sammy?
- Miss, I don't want to
do a boat with Angelina!
- Well, I'm afraid
you're going to have to.
This is exactly what the
Boat Carnival is all about.
Teamwork, learning to
work together happily,
side by side,
shoulder to shoulder,
nose to the grindstone,
all hands on deck,
and, of course, having fun!
- [Sammy] What do
you mean a Swan boat?
(all clamoring)
I wouldn't be seen dead
in a sissy swan boat!
- Well, you wouldn't
catch me standing on
some stupid pirate ship.
- I've done some drawings!
(gasps)
- But you've got me wearing
an eye patch and a peg leg!
- (laughs) Good, aye?
(growls)
- Sammy Watts!
(girls giggling)
- We've got a chair leg
that you can use, Angelina.
(giggles)
(growls angrily)
- So, what's the plan, mateys?
- A pirate boat!
- A swan princess boat!
(laughs)
- Well, you'd
better decide which.
It's not long
before the carnival!
(grunts)
- So, there's only
one thing to do, then.
- For once, you're right, Sammy,
there is only one thing to do.
Exactly what Ms. Chalk
said, work side by side.
(sighs) There.
And no going over the line!
- I wouldn't want to go
into your smelly swan half.
- And I wouldn't go near
your horrible pirate half,
even if you paid me!
(both huffing indignantly)
Are you sure you
don't want this?
- That's all right.
(grunting)
- One for the candy boat,
and one for you!
(giggles)
- One for the candy boat,
one for you!
(both giggling)
(hammer pounding)
(grunting)
(grunting and panting)
(sighs)
(Sammy grunting)
(Sammy laughing triumphantly)
- Well, I must say it looks...
- Crowded?
- Well, it's never
going to float with that
great, big, silly cannon.
- What about that
enormous bird's head?
- Well, we're not
going to win the prize
if we sink because
of your cannon.
We'll try it out on the stream
first thing tomorrow morning.
It's floating!
- Yeah!
(laughs)
(engine revving)
- Nice boat you got there!
What's she called?
- The Swan Princess!
- The Pirate King!
(laughs)
- That's a big name
for a small boat!
(engine revving)
(laughs)
- All aboard The Pirate King!
- Ah, my vessel awaits!
- Ahoy there, me hearties!
- Prepare for the maiden
voyage of The Swan Princess!
(laughs)
Sammy!
(gasps)
(tense music)
- Either the river is getting
higher, or we're sinking.
(yells)
We're sinking!
- I said that cannon
was too heavy!
- It's that stupid bird's head!
It's pulling us down!
- Well, we've got
to do something!
I'll get rid of this.
- Okay, I'll get rid of this.
(flag splashing)
- It's still sinking!
We've got to throw
something else!
This!
- This!
(both grunting)
(swan head splashing)
- [Angelina] Oh, no,
there's nothing left!
- [Sammy] Yeah, but at
least we're floating.
- We're floating, all right!
Downstream!
(gasps)
Where are the oars?
- Over there, between the
cannon and the swan's head!
- Oh, no! (sobs)
(exhaling loudly)
(kids laughing)
- This is real silk!
- One for the candy boat,
one for you!
- Alice, how can I
be feeling seasick
when we're not even
on the water yet?
- I just don't know, Henry.
- Where's Angelina?
- Probably just putting the
finishing touches to her boat.
(water rushing)
(both yelling)
- [Angelina] We've
got to stop this boat!
(both yelling)
- Look!
There's a big tree
stump up ahead!
- If only we had some rope,
we could loop it over!
- [Both] Vines!
- Try and grab one!
- We're nearly there!
Get ready!
Steady!
(both grunting)
- Now pull!
(both grunting)
(vine snapping)
(bodies thudding)
You get one end,
I'll get the other!
Got it!
- Got it!
Okay, and...
- [Both] One,
two,
three...
Go!
(both grunting)
- [Sammy] Got it!
Now pull!
(both grunting)
(both sighing in relief)
(laughs)
Yeah!
We did it!
- Yes!
But how are we going to
get back to the carnival?
(horn honking)
(engine revving)
- Oh dear, that old
Pirate Princess,
or whatever you called it,
isn't looking quite
as chipper as it did.
- Pirate Princess.
Oh!
(lively music)
- I'm a bit worried
about Angelina.
- Oh, don't worry, dear.
You know how she always
likes to make an entrance.
(horn honking)
(Sammy giggling)
- What's that?
(all gasping)
- [Mr. Mouseling] I
didn't think it'd be
quite that big, though!
(chuckles)
Hooray!
(crowd cheering)
(triumphant music)
(vines snapping)
(water splashing)
- No, our lovely shoe!
- Oh, it's not fair!
(both giggling)
- Well done, mateys.
And here is an extra
prize from Mrs. Thimble,
a big bag of sweeties!
- Uh-oh.
- Well, maybe just one.
- And this year's special
prize for the best teamwork
goes to Angelina and Sammy!
(gasps)
- [Both] What?
- Wow!
(both cheering)
(crowd cheering)
(sneezes)
(crowd clapping)
- Sorry we didn't win, Dad.
- Ah, but you carried
on a much more
important family tradition.
(men chuckling)
- Your partner!
- You two did the
boats together, dad?
- Yes, but we never have
got the teamwork prize.
We were always arguing.
- Well, I wouldn't
say that, old boy.
I don't think we
were always arguing.
- Yes, we were!
- We weren't!
- [Mr. Watts] We were!
(both laughing)
- Oh Sammy, you keep the trophy.
- No, Angelina, you keep it.
- No, no, you can have it.
- No, you have it!
- No, I want you to have it!
(gentle music)
Please, Mum!
I know everyone going!
Ms. Lily, Mr. And
Mrs. Nimbletoes,
and you know I love dancing!
I can dance as well as anybody!
- Oh, Angelina, honestly.
- Oh, that's it!
If you're going as a queen,
and dad's going as a king,
it makes sense that
I go as a princess!
(sighs)
After all, what's a king and
queen without their princess?
I promise to be good,
I won't spill anything!
You won't even know I'm there!
Please!
(sighs)
- I'm sorry, Angelina.
The costume ball is
for grownups only,
not little mouselings.
- But Mum!
I grew heaps last year!
- Angelina, I said no!
(stammers angrily)
- It's not fair!
It's just not fair!
- Oh, Angelina.
Why don't you call Alice?
She could come over
and stay the night!
(door slamming)
- Everyone should be allowed
to go to the costume ball,
especially me.
I can dance better than
all of them put together!
- Well, what do you think?
(giggles)
Oh!
(both giggling)
- Oh, Alice!
Whee!
(both giggling and shouting)
- [Alice] Get off!
Oh, ouch!
I'm stuck!
(both giggling)
You could fit both
of us in this!
- Yes.
Oh!
Yes, you could!
- [Mrs. Mouseling] Angelina?
Alice?
Mrs. Hodgepodge will be
here to babysit in a minute!
- [Both] Mrs. Hodgepodge?
- Oh, Mum, not Mrs. Hodgepodge!
Last time she stayed, she
kept me awake all night
with her horrible snoring!
- I hope she doesn't
bring her cabbage jelly.
(sighs)
(Mr. Mouseling grunting)
- [Mr. Mouseling] Could
you give me a hand
with my antenna, dear?
It won't stand up straight.
Oh.
Bit of a mix up at
the costume shop.
(both giggling)
- Nevermind.
I can be your queen bee.
(girls giggling)
- Queen bee, yes, very good.
(knocking at door)
- Ah, that must be
Mrs. Hodgepodge.
(both groaning in
disappointment)
- Oh, Mum, does she have to?
(shushes gently)
(door creaking)
- Do come in, Mrs. Hodgepodge.
- Good evening, Mrs.
Mouseling, Mr. Mouseling.
Your antenna's crooked.
- Ah, yes.
Well, better be going.
(groans in disappointment)
- Bye, Mum.
You do look lovely.
Are you sure I-
- Good night, Angelina.
Now I hope you're going to
be good little mouselings
for Mrs. Hodgepodge.
- Don't worry, they will.
(both groaning in disgust)
- Oh, no!
- [Angelina] Ugh,
that was horrible.
- [Alice] Yuck, cabbage jelly!
(lively music)
- Oh, listen to the music.
I really wish we were there.
- I really wish I had
something nice to eat.
I'm still hungry!
- Would you care to
dance, Miss Nimbletoes?
- I'd love to, Miss Mouseling!
(both giggling)
(both singing and giggling)
(Mrs. Hodgepodge snoring)
(both singing and giggling)
(Alice yelling)
(body thudding)
(shushes)
(Mrs. Hodgepodge snoring)
(sighs in relief)
(giggles)
Could you give me a hand?
- Right.
Come on, Alice.
- [Alice] Come on where?
- To the costume
ball, of course.
- But we're not supposed to-
- [Angelina] Catch!
- What about Mrs. Hodgepodge?
- She'll be asleep for hours!
We'll be back
before she wakes up.
There'll be lots of food there.
Cheese balls, cheddar pies,
sticky Stilton tart...
(moans)
(fancy music)
(people clamoring)
- So I said to him,
"Let them eat cheese!"
(all laughing)
- Good evening, Dr. Tuttle.
Or should I say
"Captain Tuttle?"
(laughs)
- Wow!
Look, Alice, it's wonderful!
(sniffing loudly)
- Oh, all that food!
(both grunting)
- Careful, Alice!
Someone might see!
- Such a wonderful party,
don't you agree, my dear?
- Yes, Miss!
Absolutely.
- Ow!
- Are you all right?
- Yes, yes.
Just a tickly cough.
(coughs)
- [Dr. Tuttle]
Ah, there you are!
I was wondering if you
would care to dance?
- That would be-
- Miss Lily?
- It would would be
a pleasure, darling.
I shall see you later for
the Whiskers Wheel, no?
- No, no.
I mean, yes.
I wish someone would
ask me to dance.
I'll just have to ask
someone myself, then!
Come on, Alice!
- This must be
the best ball yet!
Everyone looks wonder-
Oh, hello.
- Would you care to
dance with me, please?
- Oh, well the thing is,
I'm not very good at...
Oh, what a shame,
the music stopped!
(groans in disappointment)
What a strange lady.
Do you know who she is?
- No.
Portia might know
someone, though.
Ouch!
- Sorry, Dad!
- Very strange.
(snoring loudly)
- Leave my radishes alone!
(pants)
(sighs)
Oh, it's freezing!
Where's that draft coming from?
Seems to be coming
from Angelina's room.
- We've been here ages and
I haven't had one dance!
(crowd cheering)
Careful!
- I just want some food!
- Ladies and gentlemen, will
everyone take their positions
for the Whiskers Wheel?
(crowd cheering)
- Come on, Alice,
now's our big chance!
(lively music)
(giggles)
(lively music)
(sneezes)
- [Woman] Bless you.
(Angelina and Alice yelping)
- [Angelina] Come on, Alice!
(sneezes)
(Angelina and Alice yelping)
Come on!
No, Alice, this way!
- But I want to go this way!
(cloth ripping)
(both yelping)
- Whoops!
No harm done, I hope?
- [Angelina] Everything is fine!
(door creaking)
(panting)
(gasps)
(Angelina and Alice yelping)
(table crashing)
- [Mr. And Mrs.
Mouseling] Angelina!
- [Mr. And Mrs.
Nimbletoes] Alice!
- There they are!
Those naughty little runaways!
(whimpers)
(munching)
(sniffling and sobbing)
(brush scraping)
(water splashing)
(yelps)
- My back is aching.
Oh, this is such hard work!
- I'm so tired.
Perhaps going to the ball
wasn't such a good idea.
- And how are the
two grown-ups coping?
- Not very well.
We're so tired and
our paws really hurt.
This is going to take forever!
- Well, it's a good thing I
brought you something to eat.
Here, to keep your strength up.
- Oh, thanks, Mum!
- Thank you, Mrs. Mouseling!
(both groaning in disgust)
- Don't thank me,
thank Mrs. Hodgepodge.
- [Angelina And Alice]
Cabbage jelly sandwiches!
(gentle music)
- [Narrator] Charlotte
and Calum are dressing up.
They've got lots of
lovely things to try on.
Swords, and jewelry,
oh, and a crown!
Charlotte's pretending
to be a princess
and Calum's a pirate!
That broach must be from
some pirate treasure.
(lively music)
(tense music)
Calum wants Charlotte
to be a pirate too,
but I don't think
she wants to be one.
(gentle music)
She'd rather be a
beautiful princess.
What's Calum up to?
(gasps)
Oh, that was really
sneaky, Calum!
No wonder Charlotte's
very angry!
(tense music)
(gentle music)
Charlotte's up to something.
(gentle music)
Now she's got his sword,
Calum will have to
do what she says!
What's she up to now?
Oh, I see!
She's making Calum
into a pirate king!
And he's making her
his pirate princess!
(gentle music)
The great thing about costumes
is you can be anyone
you want to be,
'cause you can wear them
in lots of different ways.
(gentle music)
