- And the three little
mouselings scampered
through the forest as
fast as they could.
- Run mouselings, run!
- But the Chipping Cheddar
Witch leapt on her broomstick
and soared through the
air high above the trees.
Then she said the magic words.
- [Both] Magic wand,
do as I please.
Turn these mice
into stinky cheese!
- And they all got turned
(girls laugh)
into stinky cheese.
- (gasps) No!
- Oh, Henry, don't
be such a baby.
It's only a story.
- But what if the witch tries
to turn me into stinky cheese?
- Hmm...
Well, Henry, I have heard
that if you sprinkle
pepper on her tail,
then she'll be the one who
turns into stinky cheese.
- Oh.
(Henry gasps)
- Are those cheesy
bonbons, Mr. Mouseling?
- Yes, Alice, they are.
- Oh goody.
- [Mr. Mouseling] But
they're for Miss Lilly,
she's picking them up later.
- Oh. (sighs)
- Aha!
There.
Pretty good, even
if I say so myself.
I'll just put it out to dry.
(Mr. Mouseling hums)
- Let's go make our costume
for the Halloween party.
- Oh, race you upstairs.
(both laugh)
- Wait for me!
- See.
- Oh.
Oh look!
This tree monster
costume will be perfect.
We'll need some
leaves and twigs.
- [Alice] And something
really scary for the head.
- Can I be a tree monster, too?
- No, Henry.
You have to have
your own costume.
Um...
Oh!
I know!
You can be a ghost.
- But I don't want
to be a ghost.
I was a ghost last year,
and no one was scared of me.
I want to be something
really scary,
and frighten away the
Chipping Cheddar Witch!
(Henry whimpers)
There.
- But...
But I...
- You're right, Alice.
We need a great big, scary mask.
- But what kind of head
does a tree monster have?
- I'll, I'll make
my own costume then,
and it'll be much more scary
than your tree monster.
(Henry whimpering)
(objects clatter)
Oh!
Ow!
- Wrong door, Henry.
(ball squeaks)
- Oh!
Hmph!
(Henry whimpering)
(ball squeaks)
(girls laugh)
- Of course, every witch
needs a broomstick.
You can have mine.
(witch laughs)
(Henry panting)
(Henry gasps)
- The Chipping Cheddar Witch!
(gasps) Aah!
Angelina!
- What do you think?
- You know, cheddar toffees
don't taste as good as-
- Alice, will you
please pay attention?
- [Henry] Angelina!
- Oh!
(Angelina yelps)
Oh!
- Ow!
(Henry groans)
- Henry!
(Henry whimpers)
- Hmm, needs more leaves.
- I've just seen the
Chipping Cheddar Witch!
- We don't have time for
your baby games, Henry.
We're making the most
magnificent costume
Chipping Cheddar has ever seen.
- She had a pointy hat
and a big black cloak!
And, and she-
- Henry!
We're busy.
(Henry whimpers)
- It's not fair.
She never listens
to anything I s...
(gasps) Pepper!
That will turn her
into stinky cheese.
Hmm...
(Henry giggles)
(suspenseful music)
(both scream)
- Ah...
Achoo!
Oh!
Ah...
Achoo!
- You're not the
Chipping Cheddar Witch!
- Of course, I'm not.
That's just a story.
- But I've seen her!
Come on, I'm too
scared to go by myself.
And we've got to catch her
before she turns everyone
into stinky cheese!
- But I was going
to see Angelina.
- Angelina's busy.
Come on!
- Okay.
(doubtful music)
It's no use, Henry.
We've looked everywhere.
- She's escaped.
- Maybe you just
imagined the witch.
- No, I saw her
walking up the lane.
- [William] Oh, Henry.
The Chipping Cheddar
Witch is just-
- (gasps) William!
Look! (gasps)
- [William] Oh, crumbs.
- Follow that witch!
(dramatic orchestral music)
(Henry panting)
♪ Da da da ♪
♪ Da da da, da da ♪
- Oh.
Huh?
(doubtful music)
Angelina?
Angelina, where are you?
- Boo!
- Oh! (yells)
(Angelina laughs)
Oh!
You made me spill my toffees.
- I'm sorry, Alice.
(Angelina laughs)
I'll help you pick them up.
Hey, look, I'm a tree monster.
- And I'm the Chipping
Cheddar Witch.
(Alice laughs)
Magic wand, do as I please.
Turn Angelina into
stinky cheese!
(both laugh)
- She's been there ages.
(door slams open)
(boys gasp)
- [Henry] Uh-oh.
(Henry gasps)
(suspenseful music)
- We better make sure
Mrs. Thimble's all right.
(doubtful music)
- Mrs. Thimble?
- Mrs. Thimble?
- Where can she be?
Oh, oh!
(can clatters)
Ouch!
Yuck! (whimpers)
Oh!
Mmm.
Want some?
- No, Henry.
We're supposed to be
looking for Mrs. Thimble.
(gasps) Henry, look.
(Henry gasps and whimpers)
- [Both] Mrs. Thimble's been
turned into stinky cheese!
(both scream)
Oh no!
- (gasps) Look, the witch!
- Oh crumbs.
(Henry grunts)
- This way, William.
- What?
Oh, right.
(William laughs)
(boys panting)
- Hmm...
That's strange.
I was sure I heard
someone in the shop.
Oh well.
(uneasy music)
(girls shivering)
(wind howling)
(Angelina gasps)
- What was that?
- Um...
I hope it wasn't the
Chipping Cheddar Witch.
- Or a real tree monster.
- Oh!
- Ow!
(spooky music)
(Henry gasping)
- Follow me!
(Henry groaning)
(William grunts)
(Henry whimpers)
(Henry yells)
(screams) Oh!
Ow!
Oh!
- Achoo!
Achoo!
Achoo!
(spooky music continues)
- You can look now, Alice.
There are no
witches around here.
- Oh, what about tree monsters?
- Or tree monsters.
- Whew, if you're sure.
- Oh. (grunts)
(Henry grunting)
(girls scream)
(girls whimper)
(girls scream)
(Henry panting)
- Huh?
But you haven't turned
into stinky cheese!
- [Both] Henry?
(Henry sneezes)
- No, dear, I haven't.
(girls gasp)
- [Girls] Miss Lilly!
(Miss Lilly laughs)
- Did you think I
was the real witch?
- How do we know you're not?
- Because, Henry,
it's Miss Lilly.
- But it could be the
witch trying to trick us.
- Darling, if I was the witch,
I have turned into
stinky cheese by now.
You were very brave.
- Achoo!
Achoo!
(William yelps)
(William whimpers)
- [Angelina] I told you
there's no such thing
as the Chipping Cheddar Witch.
- It's the Chipping
Cheddar Witch.
Achoo!
Run for your lives!
(Miss Lilly laughs)
- Hello, William.
- Oh.
(Miss Lilly laughs)
(William laughs)
- Now, please, excuse
me, my little mouselings,
but I must pick up
the cheesy bonbons
for tonight's party.
I forgot them when
I was here earlier.
See you at the party.
- [All] Bye, Miss Lilly.
- (gasps) Henry, that's a
fantastic tree monster costume.
- Alice, are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
(girls laugh)
- Yes, it's a wonderful costume!
(merrymakers chattering)
- Well, darlings, I must-
(Henry grunting)
- [Henry] I can't see.
- [Angelina] Shush,
I'm trying to listen.
- [Alice] Sorry.
- And the prize for the
best costume goes to
Angelina, Alice, and Henry!
(Angelina screams)
(tree monster clamors)
(merrymakers laughing)
- Oh, no.
Achoo!
- Oh, cheesy bonbons.
Fantastic! (laughs)
- [William] Achoo!
- Angelina, look.
Stinky cheese!
- Oh, Henry!
That's just a lump of
cheese from the cauldron.
(Henry sniffing)
- It is not.
It's stinky!
- Miss Lilly,
(Miss Lilly laughs)
what do you think?
- Ah, darlings,
who can tell with the
Chipping Cheddar Witch?
(all laughing)
(gentle music)
(upbeat music)
And step, step.
Turn and finish.
Hold still.
Everyone.
And relax.
(students sighing)
Well done, my darlings.
Now, before you go,
I have some news.
I am sure you remember
Anya Mousezauski
who came to our little
village last year.
Anya is from my beautiful
homeland Dacovia.
And her parents have asked me
if this summer she can come
to Chipping Cheddar
to learn ballet.
(students exclaim)
- That will nice.
- Alice, isn't that wonderful!
- Yes, it'll be fun!
- Oh! (laughs)
- I want to know, please,
if anyone can have Anya to stay?
- Please, mom!
She won't be any trouble.
You know she won't.
(Mrs. Mouseling laughs)
- Of course, she won't, darling,
but where will she sleep?
- In my room, of course!
Dad will move another bed in.
(Mr. Mouseling grunts)
Won't you, dad?
- It'll be a tight squeeze.
- [Mrs. Mouseling] And
it's for a long time.
- Mom, but I don't mind!
I want to share my room.
Dad!
Oh, Anya, we're going to
have the best summer ever.
We'll do everything together,
with Alice of course.
- Thank you, Angelina.
What shall I do with these?
- I'll put them over here with
mine, if I can get through.
Oops. (giggles)
(girls giggle)
Oh, there.
This can be our library.
We'll share everything, Anya.
What's mine is yours, okay?
- Like the Kingfishers.
- Kingfishers?
- Yes, there is an
old Dacovian story
about two Kingfishers who
are really good friends
and stay together for
the whole of their lives.
Where shall I put this?
- You can leave it
there, actually.
I like to have it on at night.
- Really?
I never have a lamp on at night.
- Oh, you all look really happy.
- Yes.
It's the first time I've been
away from my mum and dad.
- Oh, everyone will
love you, Anya.
We'll be your summer family.
- But, you know, will I fit in?
I've never done ballet before.
I haven't even got the
proper dress or anything.
- It's called a tutu.
(enchanted music)
Oh, here.
You can borrow one of mine.
- Thanks, Angelina.
- Don't worry, Anya.
I promise I'll look after you.
(upbeat music)
- Yes, yes, very
good, my darlings.
Very good, Anya,
just follow Angelina.
That's right.
Well done, everyone.
Now we have a little rest.
One minute.
- Oh, you danced so well, Anya,
as if you've been
doing ballet for ages.
- I like your tutu.
- [Students] Me too,
it's really pretty.
- Yes, it's lovely, Anya.
It's mine-
- I like your tutu, hmph!
- Pity about your patch ear.
(sisters laugh)
- You're just jealous
because Miss Lilly thinks
she's a better dancer than you.
- [Sisters] Hmph!
- Quiet, please, darlings.
As most of you know,
we have a special evening
here soon for your parents.
So now I want you to
work with a partner
to make a dance to show them.
- [Student] I'm so excited!
- [William] Oh yes,
it'll be fantastic.
- Um...
Uh, Miss Lilly, can I
dance with Anya, please!
- We want to be Kingfishers
like in the old story.
- Oh, the Kingfishers!
A dance of friendship.
How lovely, my darlings.
Of course you must!
(delicate piano music)
Very nice, darlings.
And you, Anya, you
are doing so well!
- [Angelina] Oh!
- [Anya] Thank you.
- Come here a minute,
Angelina darling.
The Dacovian Ballet is coming
to the Theater Royal again.
I think it's a good idea for me
to invite Anya this
year, don't you?
- Oh, um...
Yes, Miss Lilly.
- And tell your mother
I'm really looking forward
to dinner tonight.
- Yes.
(Anya and Polly laughing)
- Hello.
- But Miss Lilly
always takes me.
It's not fair.
- I'm sure she'll take
you next year, darling.
It's just that with
Anya being Dacovian,
I expect Miss Lilly thought
it would be a treat for her.
- Shall I give Polly her
bottle, Mrs. Mouseling?
- Oh, would you, Anya?
You're so good with babies.
- So am I!
- Of course you are, dear.
- Here, Angelina, you do it.
- Come here, Polly.
(Polly wails)
Oh.
- Oh, delicious, Matilda.
Even better than usual.
- We have Anya to
thank for that.
She suggested I add paprika.
- And I'm going to
show Mrs. Mouseling
how to make nutmeg and
blue cheese souffle
like my mum does.
- Mmm, sounds wonderful.
- What do you think of our
Kingfisher costumes, Miss Lilly?
- My darling, they're divine!
What a clever mother you have.
And what a talented friend!
This little mouseling is
learning ballet so fast.
Soon I think she
will be applying
to the Dacovian Ballet Academy.
- Well, if you could put
up with my fiddle playing,
I'd love to see you dance, Anya.
- Um, we'll do our King Fi-
- How about the
Dacovian Polka, Anya?
- Oh.
(uneasy music)
- Everyone's being
really nice and kind,
but oh, I do miss you.
Mwah.
- That's my bed!
- Oh, I thought we were
sharing everything.
- Yes, well...
I'm not so sure now.
- Why Angelina?
Is something wrong?
- Yes, there is, actually.
If you want to know, I'm
sick and tired of hearing
about how talented you are,
and I'm sick and
tired of hearing
about how great Dacovia is.
- But Miss Lilly misses Dacovia
like me, and that's why we-
- Well, perhaps, you
want to have stayed
with Miss Lilly then!
- Oh!
- I have it on.
- Oh.
(bird warbling)
(Angelina yawns)
- Is it time to get up yet?
Anya? (gasps)
Anya?
Where are you?
Anya!
Oh!
Oh!
- There there, my darling.
(Polly gibbers)
- Oh, oh!
Have you seen Anya, mom?
- No, isn't she in your room?
- Oh!
Oh!
(phone rings)
- Hello?
Oh, hello, Miss Lilly.
Anya is at your house?
Good gracious, I...
I had no idea.
- Oh!
Oh!
- I am very disappointed
in you, darling, very.
How would you like to be
away from your parents
for such a long time, huh?
- I wouldn't, Miss Lilly.
Oh, dear, I've been
so horrid to her.
- And now she wants
to stay here with me.
- Yes.
Miss Lilly, I'm
truly, truly sorry.
Please, can I see
Anya and apologize?
- Of course you can, my darling.
I'll go and get her.
(soft harp music)
(Angelina whimpers)
- Um...
My darling?
I am so sorry,
but Anya says she does
not wish to see you.
- Oh!
- [Miss Lilly] Perhaps
you should wait
and speak to her at ballet.
(students chattering)
(door hinges creak)
- Um...
Oh, Anya!
Anya!
(Miss Lilly clapping)
- Quiet, please, everyone.
Thank you.
Now, please, will you
practice your pieces
for our special evening?
- Anya, I'm really sorry!
- I don't want to dance
with you anymore, Angelina.
I want do dance with Alice.
- [Angelina] Oh!
- I'm really sorry, Angelina.
- It's not your fault,
Alice, it's mine.
I just wish she'd
let me apologize.
- She wants to go on
practicing after lunch.
- Does she?
- Yes, by the river,
so we can really get the
feel of being Kingfishers.
(Angelina gasps)
- Costumes would help
you, too, wouldn't they?
- Oh, yes.
Yes, they would.
(doubtful music)
- We can...
Uh, we can rehearse in these.
Here's yours.
- Thank you, Alice.
- It's a lovely place, Anya.
It's just right for Kingfishers.
- We better start then.
From the beginning.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
(fantastical music)
- Aah!
(Anya gasps)
I'm sorry, Anya, I really am.
(Anya sobs)
- I'm sorry, too!
- We're both sorry.
(both sobbing)
Wasn't the prince amazing?
- Oh, yes!
- Thank you, Miss Lilly.
It was fantastic!
- It was the best
show I've ever seen.
- And to think my
darling Angelina believed
she was not to come to the
Dacovian Ballet this year.
Well, of course, I had
three tickets all along.
(all laughing)
- I can't believe it's
your last night here.
Cheese ball?
- No, no thanks.
I'm full up.
Here, I-
- No, no, you've got to keep it!
Oh, but I-
- Please.
What's mine is yours, remember?
- Thanks, Angelina.
(Anya laughs)
(Angelina yawns)
- I'm tired now.
- Me too.
(Angelina laughs)
- No.
I like it on.
- But I like it off.
(Angelina laughs)
- [Angelina] On.
- Off. (laughs)
- On.
- Off. (both laugh)
(gentle music)
(playful music)
- [Angelina] It wasn't
easy trying to dance
like a Kingfisher,
but Miss Lilly showed us how
to copy the way they move.
Birds move in lots
of different ways,
'cause they're all unique
just like these glove puppets.
(birds squeaking)
I wonder what they're
chattering about.
Anastasia is being a stork,
and she's doing a step
called the Stork Walk.
I wonder what Toby's being?
He's got his nose in the
air and he's strutting.
And he's got lovely plumage.
I know!
He's being a peacock.
Charlotte is fluttering
her wings very, very fast,
and she's moving very quickly.
She's being a hummingbird!
Hmm, that silly walk
reminds me of something.
I know.
Antonia's being a penguin.
(hen clucking)
Antonia, Charlotte, and
Paloma are all pretending
to be the same kind of bird.
One that sticks its neck
out when it's walking.
They're pretending
to be chickens.
Little Scarlett and Anastasia
are eggs that are hatching.
That's very funny.
(mythical music)
It must've been fun
being a chicken,
but I think I'll stick to being
a Kingfisher like Scarlett.
