- 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.
