- I'm angelina ballerina.
I love to dance
For an audience,
Especially when everyone claps
And cheers
And makes a fuss over me.
And I always like to make
A fuss over my friends
When they do
Something special too.
- Don't forget.
This saturday, the chipping
Cheddar mouse marathon
Comes to town.
- Wow. Will we be able
To watch it, ms. Mimi?
- Of course we will, vici.
The race starts
Outside the fire station,
Goes all around the streets
And country roads,
And finishes
At mrs. Thimble's store.
But I have some even more
Wonderful news to tell you all.
I'm very proud to announce
That one of the students
In my class
Has decided to run
In this year's marathon.
- Who is it, ms. Mimi?
Please tell us.
- Well, it's marco.
- What?
- Marco?
- We didn't know
You were a champion runner.
- Uh, uh, I'm not.
I've just been jogging a bit
To keep fit.
- Well, you must be super fit
To run in a marathon.
- Not really.
I train every evening,
Running around the school yard.
It's no big deal.
- No big deal?
Marco, that's stupendous!
[Bell rings]
Stop.
Wait. Make way
For the magnificent marco.
Famous marathon mouseling
Coming through.
Stand back. Stand back.
And five, six, seven, eight.
- What about me?
When can I join in?
- Not yet, marco.
[Lilting piano music]
♪
- How about this?
Wha-hey!
- Marco, what do you think
You're doing?
- I think I'm doing
A pirouette.
- Well, you can stop that
Immediately.
- What? Why?
- A champion runner
Needs to save his energy
For the big race on saturday.
- Yes, but it's only tuesday.
- Well, you could twist your
Ankle doing a move like that.
Then how would you
Be able to run?
- [Sighing] oh.
I just wanted to dance.
- Sorry, marco.
I'm going to have
To keep my eye on you
If you're going to stand
A chance
Of winning that marathon.
- Ha-ha.
Got you this time, a.z.
- Oh.
- Marco,
What are you playing now?
- I'm playing checkers.
- No time for all that.
You should be busy training.
You can play checkers after
You cross that finish line.
- Ohh.
No dancing, no games,
No fun.
Oh.
[Crickets chirping]
- Uh, dad, are you using
Your camera on saturday?
- No, I don't think so.
- Great.
So could you be there
At the marathon
To take a photo of marco
When he comes in first?
- Ah.
- Oh, come on, please?
You are the best photographer
In all of chipping cheddar.
- Oh. Um, okay.
- [Giggles]
- I guess I could do that.
- Stupendous!
- Look, everyone.
I can run like marco.
- Could you make some flags
For everyone to wave
Along the route?
Please?
Thanks, mum.
Excuse me, everyone.
I need to go upstairs and work
On my cheerleader routine.
- What's a cheerleader routine?
- [Chanting] running hard,
He'll go far.
Marco, marco, rah, rah, rah!
- What you doing, angelina?
- I'm a cheerleader.
I'm making up
Some cheerleader chants
For my cheerleader team.
- Can I be a cheerleader,
Angelina?
- It's not easy, polly.
We have to put on
A really good show
To support marco when he runs
In the marathon.
- I can do it.
I can do it.
- All right, polly.
Just copy what I do.
- Okeydokey.
- [Chanting]
M-a-r, "c" and "o."
Marco, marco,
Watch him go.
Yay!
- [Grunts]
That's hard.
- Being a cheerleader
Is hard, polly.
There's dancing
And gymnastics,
Not to mention the chanting.
- What is chanting?
- Well, a chant
Is kind of like a poem
And kind of like a song.
It rhymes.
But instead of singing
The words like this...
♪ He's amazing,
He's a star ♪
You say them to a rhythm
Like this:
[Chanting] he's amazing.
He's a star.
He's our hero.
Rah, rah, rah.
Put the chanting
With the dancing,
And you've got yourself
A cheer.
[Chanting] north and south,
East and west,
We love marco.
He's the best.
- [Chanting]
Backwards, forwards,
Up and down,
Marco mouse,
The best in town.
- [Clapping]
That's great, polly.
Welcome to the team.
- [Giggles]
- Saturday soon came along,
The day of the big race.
And I'd done everything I could
To make it a special day
For marco.
[Cheering]
- What?
[Drum and kazoo music]
♪
All: [chanting] running hard,
He'll go far.
Marco, marco,
Rah, rah, rah!
- Angelina.
What's happening?
- I organized everything,
The balloons, the banners.
Everyone's come
To cheer you on.
[Thumping drum and kazoo music]
♪
That's the marco
Marathon march.
I made it up myself.
- But--but I never wanted
All this.
- Everybody's come
To see you win the race.
- Win the race?
I don't think I even want
To be in the race.
- What?
But marco.
- All this fuss,
I hate it.
I've changed my mind.
I'm not running
In the marathon.
- Oh.
- Okay, where is he?
Where is that champion runner
Of yours?
- Uh, sorry, dad.
Can't stop.
I have to go find marco.
Oh...
- Angelina.
- Oh.
- Why so upset?
- It's marco.
He doesn't want to run
In the marathon,
After all the trouble I went
To organizing the balloons
And the banners
And the marching band.
- I see what's troubling you,
Angelina.
You can't understand
Why marco doesn't appreciate
All the fuss
You've made over him.
- Exactly.
You don't think
I made too much fuss,
Do you, ms. Mimi?
- Well, what do you think?
- [Sighs]
I think maybe I shouldn't have
Stopped him dancing
And playing checkers.
And maybe I did go
Kind of over the top
With all the cheerleaders
And chanting and stuff.
- You did nothing wrong,
Angelina.
Supporting your friends
Is a good thing.
But not everyone likes
That much fuss.
- The chipping cheddar
Mouse marathon
Will be commencing
In five minutes.
All runners
To the starting line, please.
- I have to find marco.
I know deep down, he really
Wants to run in the race.
But where can he be?
- Is there any special place
He likes to go?
- Uh, he said he likes running
In the school yard.
- The school yard.
Hmm, maybe it's time for you
To do a little running yourself,
Angelina.
- Yes.
Thank you, ms. Mimi.
[Panting]
Marco,
I'm so glad I found you.
The race is about to start.
Please come back.
- I can't.
I don't want to run anymore.
- [Gasps] but why?
- I'm scared I might not do well
In front of all my friends.
You told everyone
How good I was.
And now
They're all expecting me to win.
I wasn't scared before.
But when I saw all the flags
And banners and cheerleaders...
- Oh.
I'm sorry.
I guess I did
Kind of go over the top.
It doesn't matter if you win.
We're just all proud
That you're in the race.
- Really?
- Absolutely, positively.
- All runners
To the starting line, please.
- Well,
What are we waiting for?
Come on.
I've got a marathon to run.
- Yes.
- Hooray!
- Yay!

For you and your cheerleaders
To do your thing.

He'll go far.

Rah, rah, rah!
[Cheering]
[Chanting] m-a-r, "c" and "o."
Marco, marco,
Watch him go.
Yay!
- Great job, marco.
And we're all very proud
Of you.
- I didn't win,
But I finished the race.
I couldn't have done it
Without angelina's help.
All that cheering
Kept me going to the end.
- Hmm, you know, next year,
I think I'm going to run
In the chipping cheddar
Mouse marathon.
- Great.
Then I'll get together
With a.z.,
And we can be
Your cheerleading team.
- [Laughs]
- Yay.

Now it's time to meet
Camembert's shining stars.

And when I was three,
I started taking ballet.
- My name is avery,
And I study
At the american ballet
Theatre school.

My grandma gave me
A package of three books and a
Little angelina ballerina doll.
And I really liked the books.
- My sister's a dancer,
So I went on an audition,
And I just really liked it.

Your pointe shoes,
You have to cross the ribbons
And make sure you tie
A tight knot
On the inside of your foot.

A piece.

And I've looked everywhere.
[Sighs] huh?

My ballet bag?
- Sorry.
I was pretending
I go to ballet school
Just like you.
- Oh, polly,
You can study ballet for real
When you're older.
- When? Tomorrow?
- Not for a few more years,
Sweetheart.
- That's too long.
I want to study ballet now.
- I have a stupendous idea.
I can teach you ballet, polly.
- You can?
- Of course I can.
We can use the attic
For your lessons.
- Yippee!
- That is a stupendous idea,
Angelina.
- And maybe I could wear
Your tiara.
Pretty please with cheese?
- Maybe sometime.
- [Giggles]
- We'll start our ballet classes
As soon as I get home
From school.
- Yeah!
- I even have a name
For my new school:
The angelina mouseling
Royal academy of ballet.
- That is a big name
For such a small school.
- Someday it could be as big
As camembert academy,
Maybe bigger.
Line up, students.
First position.
You all have perfect turnout.
I taught you well.
I'll be a great ballet teacher,
Like ms. Mimi and miss lilly.
- You think so?
- I know so.
Angelina can do anything.
- Thanks, alice.
I'll prove it.
We'll have a recital
At the end of this week.
Then you can see
What my star pupil has learned.
- [Giggles]
I'll be there.
Au revoir.
- Are you sure
Polly will be ready
To put on a recital
In just a week, angelina?
- With me teaching her,
She'll be more than ready.
- You might need some help.
- Okay.
You can be my assistant.
- Hmm.
[Gasps]
Yay!
I'm ready, teacher angelina.
- Me too.
And alice is going
To be my assistant.
- Ooh, goody, two teachers.
I'm gonna learn really fast.
- That's the plan.
The angelina mouseling
Royal academy of ballet
Is now officially open.
There are five positions
In ballet.
This is first position.
- Your feet look funny,
Like a frog.
- Ribbet.
- [Giggles]
- It's called turnout.
- [Gasps]
Like this?
- Just start like this
For now.
- This is second position.
- Wider second, polly.
- Third.
Fourth.
- Turnout, remember?
- [Gasps]
This is too hard.
- But turning out
Makes you look graceful
To the tips of your toes.
- How about turning in?
Like a pigeon,
Get it?
- That's not funny, polly.
Get back to the barre
And do first position again.
- But I'm tired.
- We just started.
- [Giggling]
- Polly, where are you going?
- Don't worry, angelina.
We'll try again tomorrow.
- Echappe changement.
Ready?
Second.
Fifth.
Second.
Wider second, gracie.
Pretend your feet
Are flying away from each other.
Land lightly, a.z.
Imagine the floor
Is a trampoline.
Better.
Great work, everybody.

How is the royal academy
Of angelina?
- Polly's learning really fast,
Thanks to angelina's
Excellent teaching.
- And alice's.
- I guess I shall see
For myself at your recital.
You're still having one, no?
- Of course we are.
Okay, dancers,
First position.
- Again?
- That's how we always start.
- [Sighs]
- And if you do
A good job,
You're going to star
In your very own ballet recital.

The five positions to get ready.

Second.
Third.
Fourth.

Polly.

Mummy, angelina's being mean.
- Polly, come back.
I'm sorry.
[Sighs] this is not good.
What will gracie say
When polly can't do ballet?
- Uh, "I told you so"?
- Oh, alice.
What are we going to do?
If polly doesn't do
The show,
Gracie will laugh at me.
I must be
A horrible ballet teacher.
- Hey, maybe you could talk
To ms. Mimi.
She might have
Some good advice.
- Good spotting, gracie.
Oh, a double pirouette, a.z.
Very impressive.
[Claps]
- [Giggles] a biento,
Angelina.
See you soon
At your recital.
- [Gasps]
Um, ms. Mimi,
Can I talk to you?
- Of course, angelina.
How's your ballet school
Coming along?
- You know about that?
- I hear it's going to be as big
As camembert academy someday.
- [Sighs]
I doubt it.
Polly is--
Was my only student.
She just won't pay attention,
No matter how much I force her.
- Hmm.
Maybe instead of trying
To force her,
You could try to make it fun.
- [Gasps] oh, yes.
That's how you do it,
Ms. Mimi.
- Land lightly, a.z.
Imagine the floor
Is a trampoline.
Better.
It also helps
To let your students know
When they've done a good job.
- I guess I've been
Too hard on polly.
Polly, I'm sorry.
I guess I was kind of mean
Yesterday.
- Yep.
- Definitely.
- So, polly, could you maybe
Give me another chance?
I promise it will be more fun
This time.

Learned a lot,
And she's having fun.

Hello.
I'm angelina ballerina.
Did you know dance is
A wonderful way to exercise?
Just as you warm up
Before exercise,
You should warm up
Before dance.
You have to warm your muscles
So you won't get hurt.
It's best to warm up
By stretching.
You can reach for your toes.
You can reach back.
Stretch that arm, now.
You can even bend backward
Like a noodle.
And once you're all warmed up,
Ta-da,
You're ready to dance.
- Hola. Marco here.
And this is kenichi ebina
From japan.
He's a great hip-hop dancer.
In this dance,
Kenichi tells a story
About a mannequin
That comes to life.
That move is called popping.
[Giggles]
And here's an arm wave,
Like an ocean wave
Moving through him.
And that's locking.
See how fast his arms move?
You can learn hip-hop
By watching other dancers
And even music videos.
And then you can make
Your very own dance style.
