01x08 - The Legend of Big Paw/The Ballerina Rag Doll

[bunniefuu]

(uplifting music)

- What a beautiful night.

- No do it like this.

- Takes me back.

- Ah, do you remember

camping here,

when you two were mouslings?

- Of course, Dad.

We hiked all the way to Rat's

Tail Ravine, didn't we Louis?

- Rat's Tail Ravine.

- Which is where you lost

my favorite w*r medal.

- Oh, well.

- My marshmallow.

- There you are

Henry, have mine.

- Thank you.

- What metal Grandpa?

- The Furforth medal

for bravery, Angelina.

Named after Colonel Furforth

finest soldier there ever was.

He went missing shortly

after the w*r though.

And no one knows where he is.

- And you lost

Grandpa's metal Dad.

- Your Uncle Louis

was wearing it.

- Oh my word. Well were

pretending to be soldiers.

- And you got us lost.

- But we were being chased

by Big Paw, Maurice.

Right through that

creepy hollow.

- Big Paw.

- Big Paw.

- Oh, not that

elves story again.

- Who's Big Paw?

- He's a giant black cat,

with green staring eyes.

- And sharp cruel fangs.

- [Maurice] And he st*lks

the black cat heroes,

to this very day.

- Does he eat mouslings?

- No Henry there's no

such thing as Big Paw.

- Oh, few.

- Well, it was the loudest

meow I've ever heard.

- And we saw his paw

prints. They were huge.

- What nonsense.

It's just an excuse for

losing my precious medal.

- But it was Maury.

- But it was Louis.

- Don't worry, grandpa.

It might turn up someday.

(birds chirping)

(whimsical music)

- There's the hill over

there, and the rock.

(whimsical music)

- Henry.

- Um, hello.

- What are you doing here?

- I've come to find Big Paw.

See, I brought my new camera.

I can take lots of pictures

of him and put them up,

all over my bed-

- Don't be ridiculous

Henry. You heard grandpa.

There's no such

thing as Big Paw.

And anyway, It's far too

dangerous for you up here.

You'll have to go back.

- But Angelina.

- I can't take you back, I've

got to find grandpa's medal.

(crying)

- Okay, you can come.

- Don't worry Angelina,

I won't be any trouble.

Oh no.

- Henry.

- Oh, sorry.

(ominous music)

- I don't know why

I listen to Henry,

I could've been miles

away by now, but oh no.

I won't be any trouble he said.

Step very slowly onto that one.

(crows cawing)

Then what happens,

three steps and bang,

I have to climb halfway

down a mountain,

to get his camera back.

- There it is.

- Be careful Henry.

(intense music)

Henry.

- Now look what you've done.

- Sorry. It still works.

Angelina, say cheese.

- Can we just get going please.

- Okay.

- Uh oh.

- What?

- Well, it all looks the same,

I can't see the way back.

(eerie music)

(crows cawing)

- I'm tired.

- Keep up Henry.

- And I'm hungry,

I want some cheese.

- Uh, oh.

- Which way now?

- Shush. I'm thinking. This way.

- I want to go home.

- Well you should

have thought of that,

before you dropped

your camera down the-

(thumps on the ground)

- That's the strangest

hole I've ever seen.

- Don't be silly

Henry, it's just a-

- It's a paw print Angelina.

- No, it could be anything,

just because it looks

likes a paw print,

doesn't mean it is a

paw print. Come on.

- Oh, but, hold on.

- I've seen lots of

things like that before,

and they weren't all paw prints

and it's like I told you.

There's no such

things as Big Paw.

- Got it. Where are we

going now, Angelina?

- I've decided, we need

to take the other trail.

- We're really lost

now aren't we Angelina?

- We're not lost Henry,

we just haven't found

the right path yet.

Oh, now which way.

- Look, there's another one.

- Anything could have done

that, water that must be it.

Water can make

shapes in the ground?

(howling from afar)

- What was that?

- Just our imaginations.

(howling from afar)

- Run.

(eerie music)

- We've lost him.

(howling from afar)

- Angelina.

- It's okay Henry, Big Paw is

much too big to fit in here.

(howling continues)

(screams)

- Oh Henry, I'm sorry

I've been so mean to you.

I promise I'll never be

mean to you ever again.

- I'm sorry too Angelina.

- Oh no.

- Hey, that's not a Big Paw.

- Colonel Furforth

at your service.

- What are you doing

with my Grandpa's medal?

- So you see, ever since then

I have been hunting

the legendary Big Paw.

And I have to confess

with all my meows,

I've frightened a few little

mouslings along the way.

Meow, meow.

- It was you, you were Big Paw

- And all these years I

thought Big Paw was real.

- We were just two little

mouslings with big imaginations.

And you two shouldn't

have frightened us,

running off like that.

- Sorry.

- And I'm sorry to,

but at last I can return

this to it's rightful owner.

- Oh no, no. Please keep it,

as a thank you for

rescuing my grandchildren.

- Grandpa, Colonel

Furforth, say cheese.

- Cheese.

Oh, that's a lovely

picture, Henry.

I'll put that on

my mantel piece.

- And this one's

Big Paw's paw print.

- Henry, there's no

such thing as Big Paw.

- There could be.

And there's Angelina.

- But what's this?

It looks like...

(ominous music)

- A cat, see.

- Oh Henry no it isn't.

- Is.

- Isn't.

- Is.

- Isn't.

- Is too.

- It's not.

- Yes it is.

- It can't be.

- Yes it can.

- No it can't.

- Yes it is.

(uplifting music)

- Where is she?

- Hey.

- There you are Alice.

Listen, you'll never guess

what's happened. Go on, try.

I'm going to be

Miss Lilly's helper.

She's starting a beginner's

class, and she wants me to help.

- That's great Angelina.

- I know, I feel so grown up.

Come on, this calls for sweets.

- There you are.

- Thanks Mrs. Thimble.

- Now don't forget my

second hand box will you.

Bring me any old toys or

books that you grown out of,

and I'll sell them and give

them money to buy food,

for hungry mouslings.

- I've grown out of loads

of things Mrs. Thimble.

Alice will help me sort

them out, won't you Alice?

- Oh, yes.

This?

- Keep.

- Tales for mouslings?

- Keep. No, stop, it's

a bit babyish isn't it.

- Afraid so.

- All right then, go.

Hey that's Polka, I haven't

seen polka for ages.

I was really fond of her.

(uplifting music)

We used to dance together,

before I was old enough

to go to Miss Lilly's.

- Where did you get her?

- Can't remember. Anyway,

definitely babyish. Bye Polka.

But I look so silly there.

- Nonsense dear, you look sweet.

- Oh, look. It's you and Polka.

- Oh yes.

- I remember the day I won

Polka for you at the fair.

And you promised me that

you'd never ever let her go.

- I did?

- Yes. How is she my dear?

- Fine, she's fine.

- And I remember why you called

her Polka. It was because,

you and grandpa used to

dance the Polka together,

and I used to play for you.

- It was our special dance.

May I?

- I'm ever so sorry,

I'd love to dance,

but I forgot to tell Alice

something, see you later, bye.

(hectic music)

(knocking)

Come on.

- Hello Angelina.

- Alice.

- Come in.

- Alice, I've made

a terrible mistake.

I need your help come quickly.

We've got to get Polka back.

- She's definitely not here.

- Can you remember

who bought her?

Let me see. Well, soon after

you brought me your toys,

someone came in and bought

everything in the basket.

These have all come in since.

- But who was it Mrs. Thimble?

- I'm sorry. I've been so

busy. I just can't remember.

- Oh, dear, we'll

never find Polka now.

- But we've got to,

I'm sure there's a way.

(hectic music)

There, lost a furry

cuddly ragdoll.

If you see it, please

tell Angelina at once.

Do you think that's enough?

- Well, it should be.

(sad music)

- Well.

- No, one's heard anything.

- We've done all

we can Angelina.

We can hardly go knocking on

every door in the village.

(intense music)

(knocking)

- Did you buy any toys

from Mrs. Thimble?

- No, I'm afraid not.

- Excuse me, have you ever

seen a doll like this?

- Hello, did you buy any

toys from Mrs. Thimble?

- Wait a minute.

- Oh, maybe. Oh please, please.

- Is it this one?

- No.

- Have you seen

a doll like this?

- Why don't you try Miss

Twitchet across the road?

- Come on Alice.

- Right, thanks.

- You're quit right my dear,

I did buy a lot of used

toys from Mrs. Thimble,

I pack them all up very

carefully in lots of paper,

so that they would be

safe and comfortable.

I do love wrapping things

up, don't you dear?

- Oh yes.

- And then I sent them all off,

to the poor little

orphans in Decovia.

- Oh no. Decovia, but that's

thousands of miles away.

Now what am I going to do?

- To be honest Angelina,

I don't think there's

anything you can do.

At least you got tomorrow

to look forward to.

- Tomorrow?

- You're helping Miss Lily

with the beginners remember?

- Oh yes. Suppose I am.

(ominous music)

- Now, sit down everyone

please. Come in.

- There you go.

- Come in Mary darling.

We haven't started yet.

- Goodbye, darling.

- Oh, come with me.

- That's right. Now,

come and sit down.

- Yes. Just sit there.

- Darlings, now shh, now sit

up. Straight backs please.

(intense music)

Head up darlings.

(joyful music)

- Come along, come along.

- Skip and skip and skip and

skip, and relax. Very good.

Darling, would you

like to join in now?

No, that's all right, darling,

whenever you feel ready.

Well done everybody.

Angelina, see what you can do.

Now watch me please.

- I like your doll.

Does she have a name?

Did someone give her to

you? Who was that then?

- Miss Twitchet.

- You're not from

Decovia are you?

- I helped her wrap the toys

up and she let me choose one.

I like this the best.

- Well actually, she's lovely.

She likes dancing, did you

know that. Can I show you?

(happy music)

- There.

- Well done my darling.

(joyful music)

- Over here.

(happy music)

- Goodbye.

- You dance

beautifully Angelina.

I'd like to dance like you.

- Thank you Mary. I'm

sure you will one day.

- I've got a name for her now.

- Have you?

- Yes, I'm going to call her

Angelina. Is that all right?

- Yes, I'd really like that.

I loved Polka and I'm really

sorry for breaking my promise.

- Well, I'm proud of you.

- What?

- That was a very grown

up thing to do Angelina.

Polka's gone to someone

who really needs her.

Mary will love her and

look after her won't she.

- Yes. Yes, she will.

(happy music)

- May I have the

honor of this dance.

- Why yes kind sir.

(uplifting music)

- Caitlin showing

Anastasia how to do tendus,

that means pointing your toes.

Iman reminds me of Mary Grayfur.

It's very scary when

you first start ballet.

Cause everyone else is so big

and they seem to know

how to do everything.

Oh good Anastasia's going

to teach Iman how to point.

Oh dear, I think Iman's

still feeling too shy.

Caitlin's making a magic

pond with a blue scarf.

Just like the one

Miss Lilly uses,

to teach very little

mouslings how to point.

It's really fun.

You have to dip your toes

in and out of the water,

by pointing your feet.

(calm music)

What should those

heart shapes for?

Caitlin's using them to

teach Iman and Anastasia,

how to do first position.

(calm music)

Iman's doing really well,

but she'll need to

put her teddy down,

if she wants to dance properly.

That's a good idea.

Caitlin's showing Anastasia

how to fly on a magic carpet.

I used to love doing that.

First you kneel on it,

and then jump up and

pretend you're flying.

(calm music)

Looks like Iman

wants to have a go.

Well done Iman.

Oh, look, Iman is doing a

dance with the others now.

It's such fun learning to dance,

especially when one of the

bigger children helps you.
