- Oh, Alice, it's beautiful.
- I made it myself, you can
put all your gym things in it.
- Thank you! Thank you!
- Oh, I didn't know it was
your birthday Angelina.
- Oh no, and we forgot
to buy you a present.
- It's not my birthday.
- Best friends can give
each other presents anytime.
- Come on Alice,
it's time for gym.
- It's time for gym!
- Ooh, ooh...
- What's going on? Why
can't she get it open?
- Ooh, ooh...
- I don't think Angelina has
much of a chance as a gymnast,
she's not even strong
enough to open the door.
(sniggering)
- That's because it's locked.
- I'm sorry class, no gym today.
- [Mouse ] Why?
- [Teacher] The equipment is
too old and it's not safe.
What we need is a new gymnasium.
- [All Mice] Oh!
(mysterious music)
- [Alice] How
exciting! Angelina!
- So what are we going to
do for the fundraising fair?
- We could give rides
in a wheelbarrow...
- ...or have a lemonade stand.
- Dun ahhh!
What if we raise
money for the new gym
by doing a gymnastic show?
You and I can perform!
- And William can collect
the money from the audience.
- Yes, great.
(upbeat piano music)
- We're going to have
all sorts of things
on our "unwanted" stand.
It's to raise money
for the new gym.
- Second-hand clothes,
ornaments, books...
- Any old things you don't want.
- I'll look around girls.
- Just leave it outside the
door and we'll connect it later.
(upbeat piano music)
- I'm just off to
practice with Alice!
- [Angelina's Mum] Angelina!
You haven't done the dishes yet!
- Oh alright.
(suspenseful music)
- [Mouse ] Oh Penelope!
(sniggering)
(upbeat music)
(sniggering)
- Oh hello Alice!
- Hello Alice!
- Ouch!
(laughing)
- Where did you get that?
- That lovely lamp?
Oh, from Mrs Thimble.
Why? Do you want to buy it?
- Not that, my bag. I
mean, Angelina's bag.
- Oh, that! Angelia
has kindly donated it
to our "unwanted" stand.
- But I only gave it to
her today, as a present.
- It's obvious,
Angelina doesn't want
your little homemade gift.
And I'm not a bit
surprised, are you?
- No.
(laughing)
- Silly thing.
- Oh.
(birds chirping)
- How could a gym bag
just walk away by itself?
Promise me on your life that
you won't say anything to Alice.
- I promise.
- Thanks.
- Wouldn't it be better
just to tell her?
Anyway, you can't do
the gymnastic show
without your gym slip
and your twirly ribbons,
and they're in the bag.
- I know that William.
Alice, I've been thinking,
let's do a ballet performance
instead of a gymnastic show.
- We're always doing ballet.
- But we can wear our pink tutus
and our sparkly hairbands.
It'd be such fun.
- No, it won't.
You don't want to
do the gym show
because I'm better
at it than you are.
You never want to do
anything I'm good at.
- Alice that's not true.
- You even hated that
I'm good at sewing.
- What?
- So why don't you
do your silly little
ballet show with William?
(tense music)
- See how that feels Angelina.
(Alice crying)
(tense music)
(upbeat piano music)
- Now, the first
word we say is sorry.
- "We"? What do you mean "we"?
- Hold this for me please.
- Alright.
(knocking on door)
- Oh, oops!
- William!
I gave this to
Alice for Christmas!
- Oh my!
- Sorry, Mrs Nimble-Toes,
it was an accident.
- Don't worry, dear.
It's only Alice's donation
to the "unwanted" stand.
- "Unwanted" stand?
So that's how Alice
treats her best
friends present is it?
- Come along William,
we have a rehearsal to
do for our ballet show.
- Goodbye, Mrs Nimble-Toes.
- Have you and Angelina
had an argument?
- She started it. She
gave away that gym bag.
- Oh, surely Angelina wouldn't
do anything like that.
There must be some mistake.
- But I saw it with my own eyes.
(Alice crying)
- Why don't you go
and talk to her?
Give her a chance to explain.
(harp music playing)
- How dare Alice give that
book away. How dare she.
Keep your arms up William.
What's she so upset about?
Just because I don't want to
do a stupid gymnastic show...
- Oh! Oh!
(water trickling)
- That's enough watering, Henry.
(Henry giggling)
- Okay.
- [Angelina] Now we'll try it
all again, watch me remember.
Now... you see... William...
Alice only does
ballet to be with me.
Now we're not friends anymore
she'll probably stop going,
and I won't miss her at all.
(water spurting)
- What are you doing
Henry? Henry...
You see, William, I don't
need friend like... Alice!
(Alice screaming)
- And I don't need you either!
I'm never going to
be your friend again!
Not ever, ever, ever!
- Good!
(Alice crying)
(upbeat music)
- Skittles! Skittles!
(people chatting)
- Henry, have you got the bag?
- What bag?
- I told you to
bring a shopping bag
to collect all the money. Oh!
- See if you can buy something.
- Okay.
(birds chirping)
- Am I... I mean...
are we on first?
- Erm... no, you're after
Alice Nibble-Toes gym display.
(children playing)
- Will this do?
- My bag! My bag!
Henry you're wonderful!
Where did you find it?
- You gave it to us, remember?
- I certainly did not.
- You did, you left
it outside your door.
- So that's where it went!
- If you want it back,
you've got to pay double.
- I'll pay triple if you like.
(Alice gasps)
- Angelina...
- I'm so sorry, Alice. I
didn't mean to lose the bag.
It was an accident.
- No, no, I'm sorry.
I thought you'd given it away.
- Oh Alice, why ever would
I do a thing like that?
(upbeat piano music)
- Thank you.
(upbeat piano music)
- Thank you.
(cheering)
(laughing)
- Wait a minute, please Alice.
(Alice sighs)
- This is for you.
(Alice gasps)
- But, it's not my birthday?
- Best friends can give
each other presents anytime.
(laughing)
(upbeat ballerina music)
(upbeat happy music)
(children shouting)
- [Angelina] I've got it!
- [Mouse ] No I've got it!
- Don't count on it.
(children shouting)
- Yes!
(cheering)
- I don't know how
you do that Angelina.
- Yeah, that's the best
trick sh*t I've ever seen.
- Thanks.
(Angelina giggles)
- Show off.
- Looks like you'll be
practicing a lot this week.
- Hey! That letter's
from the ice-puck league.
(gasps)
- What does it say?
- We've been asked to
put a team together
to represent Chipping
Cheddar in the first
Mouseland Ice-Puck Tournament.
(cheering)
- So if you want to
try out for the team,
be here at eight o'clock
tomorrow morning.
- I'll be there.
- Yeah, me too.
- Oh yes!
(upbeat piano music)
- That's it!
That's it, keep your
eyes on the puck.
(upbeat piano music)
- All yours!
- Thanks Sammy.
- A girl?! Angelina,
what are you doing here?
- Trying out for the team.
(Sammy laughs)
- A girl, on the team?
That's the funniest
thing I've ever heard!
- What?
(sniggering)
(whistle blows)
- Sorry Angelina but
I'm afraid it's true.
League rules specifically say
that girls aren't
allowed to play.
- But why?
I've been playing
ice-puck forever and ever.
- Well, that was just for fun.
This is the real thing.
(Angelina grunts)
- No girls allowed,
no girls allowed,
well that's a stupid rule.
(Angelina sniffing)
- Oh, hello sweetheart.
How is my favorite
ice-puck player?
- Horrible, absolutely horrible!
(Angelina cries)
- Angelina? Are you alright?
Oh, dear.
- It's not fair. I could
play as well as any boy.
It's not fair, I can
play even better than...
...oh.
- There.
- [Angelina] Dad! Can I borrow
your old ice-puck uniform?
Please!
- Of course. But is
everything alright?
- Everything is fine, dad.
It's absolutely fine!
- Oh!
- How about William?
I saw him skate once and he
only fell down eight times.
- It was , but who's counting?
- He can be reserved.
Come on think everybody!
We only need one more player.
- Who's that?
(angelic piano music)
- Wow!
- Now, that's what
I call talent!
So, erm...
- An-dy...
- Well, Andy, congratulations,
you've just made the team.
(cheering)
(steady piano music)
- Hello, I've come to
meet my friend Angelina.
Have you seen her?
- Well, what does she look like?
- Oh, well... she's a
bit smaller than you...
- Really?
- ...and of course
she's very pretty,
and she always wears a
pink bow in her hair.
- You mean... like this one?
- Angelina! I
thought you were a-
- -a boy? Perfect!
- But Angelina, why do
you want to be a boy?
- Oh, I don't want to be a boy.
I just want everyone
to think I'm a boy.
But I'm going to need your help,
and you mustn't tell a soul.
Do you promise
Alice? Not a soul.
- Okay.
(upbeat mischievous music)
- Okay.
- Hang on!
Thanks Alice.
(giggling)
(panting)
(upbeat mischievous music)
- How do I look?
- Erm... oh... lovely...
(food crunching)
- I can see Dr. Tuttle.
Oh, and there's Mrs Thimble.
- Just think Angelina,
Chipping Cheddar
playing in the Mouseland League.
This is going to
be a historic game.
- Come on!
- I'm just going to
get a drink of water.
- But the game's
just about to begin.
- I have to go dad, I...
I have hiccups... see.
Excuse me, excuse me please.
- Hurry back, dear.
They're up to something.
- [Angelina] Excuse me.
- Ah phew!
- Hurry, Alice.
- I'm hurrying. Uh oh!
- What do you mean "uh oh"?
- The straps broken!
- But... but Alice, just tie
it together! It'll have to do.
- There!
- Oh Alice! Wish me luck!
- Good luck!
- Where have you been?
- Sorry, sorry.
(whistle blows)
(upbeat piano music)
(cheering)
- Well I hope she's alright.
- Don't worry dear, she's
probably sitting with Alice.
(upbeat piano music)
(cheering)
- [Commentator] Half time score,
it's Chipping Cheddar
ten, Little Brie three.
(door creaks)
(team chatting)
- Did you see the look on
their faces when Andy...
...oh, whoops...
scored that last point?
(laughing)
- It was nothing,
just talent I...
(gasps)
- Angelina?
- Angelina?!
- Look, I just wanted to play.
Don't you see? It's not fair
that girls aren't allowed.
- Fair? You pretend to be
a boy and break the rules.
Huh, we could be disqualified
from the game because of you!
Did you think of that, huh?
- That's enough Sammy.
(teacher sighs)
- Well, Angelina, I'm
afraid rules are rules.
William, get your helmet on.
- Oh, crumbs. Oh, erm...
(crowd booing)
- Oh, come on!
- [Commentator] And that's
another point for Little Brie,
bringing the scores
level. Well ice-puck fans,
it appears that Chipping
Cheddar's change for the worse!
- Keep your eyes
on the puck boys!
(crowd booing)
- I've got it... ow!
- [Commentator] Oh it's a fail!
With only seconds left,
Chipping Cheddar has a chance
to win the game with a penalty.
But who will make the sh*t?
- It's Sammy.
- But there's no way through!
- He'll never make the sh*t.
- She's the only one
who can do it, Sammy.
It's our only chance to win.
- [Crowd] We want Andy!
(crowd chanting)
- Go on, give it your best
sh*t. Like a good boy.
(crowd cheering)
- [Commentator]
Now Andy's back on,
again for Chipping
Cheddar. Oh, no, it's...
- That's not Andy.
That's my daughter!
- [Commentator] It's Angelina.
- Angelina, you can do it!
(angelic piano music)
- [Commentator] Yes, eleven
to ten! Chipping Cheddar wins!
(cheering)
- [Alice] Ballerina from
Chipping Cheddar makes history.
Oh, Angelina, you're famous!
- Well, no girls allowed
was a silly rule, Alice.
Someone had to change it.
- Well, I'm proud
to be your friend.
- You mean best friend.
You know Alice, I was
thinking, maybe when I'm older,
I'll become the First Lady
Mayor of Chipping Cheddar.
Or even run for
president of Mouseland!
After all, why can't a girl
grow up to be president?
(giggling)
(upbeat orchestral music)
(steady piano music)
- [Narrator] I wonder what our
little stars are doing today.
Vanessa is showing Antonia
how to dance like... well,
it looks as if she's flying!
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] And Toby and Callum
look like they're fighting!
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] Caitlin is running.
(slow harp music)
- [Narrator] Scarlet is on
pointe. She must be tip-toeing.
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] I wonder what
Vanessa is showing everyone now.
It looks like she's
pretending to hold a stick,
and trying to hit
something with it!
Now Vanessa looks
like she's gliding.
So does Callum!
(drum roll)
- [Narrator] Now
everyone's dressed up.
Oh, look, they're in teams!
A blue team and a red team.
(upbeat playful music)
- [Narrator] I wonder what
Antonia and Paloma are up to.
(upbeat playful music)
- [Narrator] They must be
playing a game of some sort.
It's not soccer
'cause you don't wear
helmets when you're
playing that.
It's a game where
you use sticks.
Now, Scarlet and Caitlin
look like they're skating.
They must be playing ice
hockey, just like me and Sammy.
Well saved Toby!
(upbeat playful music)
- [Narrator] I think they're
going to have another go.
(drum roll)
- [Narrator] Now
Paloma and Antonia
are trying to get the puck.
(drum roll)
- [Narrator] Great sh*t Antonia!
That means the blue team wins.
(slow orchestral music)
- [Narrator] When you're dancing
you can pretend to be doing
so many different things.
That's why I love ballet.
