[Jubilant flute music]

♪

- [Sighs]

♪

- Oof!

[All gasp]

[Laughter]

- Hey, angelina.

You wiggled.

- No, I didn't.

- You dropped her, a.z.

- What?

I...i...

- [Groans]

- Marco?

Are you all right?

- Yeah. I'm fine, viki.

It's just... [Sighs]

- You're not fine at all.

What's the matter, marco?

- I know this sounds silly,

But a couple of days from now,

It's going to be the costa mousa carnival.

- Costa mousa carnival?

- Yeah.

It's where I used to live before we came to chipping cheddar,

And every year, they'd have a carnival.

There'd be music and dancing and a carnival queen.

- A carnival queen?

I like the sound of that.

- It wouldn't be a carnival without a carnival queen.

- Wow.

I wish we could have a carnival.

- And then we'd have a great big conga dance

With bongo drums and maracas and cowbells,

And we'd party, party, party.

- Conga dance?

Is that hard to do?

- It's the easiest dance in the world.

Here. Put your paws around my waist.

You kind of bounce and shake your leg,

Like this.

♪ La-la-la-la-la, la

Angelina, you grab ahold of alice,

And then, gracie, you join in.

And viki.

♪ La-la-la-la-la, la

♪ La-la-la-la-la, la ♪

[Laughter]

[Laughs]

[Sighs]

But we're not in costa mousa, are we?

- But we could be.

We could have our own mini costa mousa carnival,

Right here in chipping cheddar,

Especially for marco.

- Viki, that's a brilliant idea.

- Shh.

- Think I'll go home and...

[Groans]

- See you, marco.

Hope you feel better.

- Thanks.

See you tomorrow.

- So what do we do for this carnival?

- Well, first, we're gonna need some instruments.

- Dad?

Dad!

- Angelina?

Is everything all right?

- Yes. It couldn't be righter.

Righter? Is that a word?

- I think it is now.

So what's the big excitement?

- Viki's had a great idea.

- See, marco was feeling a bit down in the dumps...

- So we're going to have a costa mousan carnival

Right here in chipping cheddar.

- And there'll be dancing and stuff and a--

- Hey, hey. Whoa.

Slow down.

- [Laughing] sorry, dad.

So do we have any instruments we can use for the carnival?

- Well, I think I've got a set of bongos somewhere.

Will they be any good?

- They'd be great.

- But we'll need some other instruments also.

We want to make it a real costa mousan carnival.

- Well, why don't we go and see what I've got in my shop?

- Ooh.

Thank you, mr. Mouseling.

[Quirky instrumental music]

♪

- Right.

Now, I'll go and see what I've got.

- I'm sure dad has something just right for--

- Oh!

[Crash] oof!

- Dad?

Are you all right?

- Yup! Fine.

Bit of a wobbly shelf.

These ought to fit the bill:

A pair of maracas.

[Rattling]

- Wow.

Thanks, mr. Mouseling.

- And what's that?

- This is a cowbell.

[Clinking]

[Playing together]

How's that?

- Sounds fantastic.

- Thanks, dad.

We promise we'll take really good care of them

And bring them back.

- Come on, angelina.

Let's go to the lunchtime theater.

We can practice before marco gets there.

- Angelina?

When is this carnival of yours?

- The day after tomorrow.

Everyone's coming.

It's going to be great.

- Oh.

- Dad? Is something wrong?

- I think you forgot.

It's polly's birthday the day after tomorrow.

- [Gasps] I did forget.

- So...

Aren't you going to blow out your birthday candles,

Polly, darling?

- Mm-mm.

- What about your present?

Aren't you going to open it?

- Mm-mm-mm.

- What's the matter, polly?

It's your birthday. You should be having fun.

- I can't have any fun.

This is the worst birthday ever...

[Cries] 'cause angelina isn't here.

- Hey, look what I've got.

[Maracas rattling]

- Good stuff, viki.

[Maracas rattle]

[Cowbell clinks]

[Playing together]

- Wow.

And angelina's got some bongos.

- Yes.

- Come on, angelina.

Join in.

- No, you play them, alice.

You'd better get some practice in.

- Angelina?

What's the matter?

- Dad reminded me:

Our carnival's on the same day as polly's birthday,

And we've got everything planned

To make it a really great day for her.

She'd be really disappointed if I wasn't there to celebrate.

So, sorry, everyone.

I won't be able to help with the carnival.

- Oh, no.

But don't worry. We can handle it.

It just won't be the same without you, angelina.

- I feel awful.

I was so looking forward to the carnival, but polly...

Well, polly's birthday will be fun too.

- If only there was a way

Angelina could be in the carnival too.

[Gasps] wait a sec.

There is!

And it'll make the day perfect.

- I can't believe it's the day of the carnival.

- This is so exciting.

Have we got all the instruments?

- Maracas, bongos, and cowbell.

Got 'em all.

I just hope it all works.

- What's happening about marco?

How are we going to get him to come out here?

- We need someone to go in and get him.

- I'll do that.

Hey, marco.

You okay?

- Well...

As okay as I could be on the day of the costa mousa carnival

That I'm not going to.

- Ah...

- What is it, a.z.?

- Um...

Viki wanted to see you.

- What about?

- Um...

I think she said it was about something really interesting.

She's in the lunchtime theater.

- Okay, a.z.,

But why are you holding a cowbell?

- Okay. Is everyone ready?

Both: ready.

- [Panting] marco's on his way.

- Great.

You know what to do.

- What did you want, viki?

- To give you your very own carnival,

Right here in chipping cheddar.

[Both playing instruments]

[Cowbell joins]

- Wow, it's just like costa mousa.

But...where's angelina?

- That's the next part of the surprise.

You lead the carnival to mrs. Thimble's,

Then meet me at angelina's house.

- Okay.

- I just need to get the carnival queen ready.

- Huh?

- Never mind. You'll see when you get there.

Now, let's get the carnival started.

I thought you'd be at the carnival.

Do you want to come in and give it to her?

- Hi, viki.

It's my birthday.

- Yes, it is, polly,

And I've brought you a present.

- A present?

- That's right.

- [Gasps]

What is it?

- It's a scepter.

The carnival queen has to carry it

At the carnival procession.

- I think viki's asking you to be carnival queen.

- But I'm still too little.

- Well, you can be carnival princess, then.

- Yay!

Yippee!

Yay!

[Faint rhythmic music]

- What's that?

It seems to be coming to our house.

Today I can't wait to finish my book by my favorite author,

Trish twirltail.

"And the fearless mouse leaped across the raging river..."

[Thumping]

"To escape the big, scary"--

- Wowee!

- Polly. What are you doing?

What's all that noise?

[Thumping]

- Angelina, look at me.

Pretty please with cheese.

Look. It's your old jump rope.

I found it.

- I can see that, polly.

But what's all the banging?

- I'm playing jump the river.

Look.

Oopsie.

[Alarm buzzing]

Do you know how to play it?

You have to--

- Yes, I know.

Pretend the rope is a river and jump over it.

- It's really, really fun.

Oh, play with me, angelina.

Pretty please.

- Polly, I'm reading.

I'm way too old for such silly games

Now that I go to the camembert academy.

Please leave me in peace.

- Ah!

- [Grumbles]

- Ah! Ah!

Ah!

- Polly, what did I tell you about all this banging?

- It's your turn, angelina.

Whoa!

- My goodness.

What's all that noise?

Crumbs. What a mess.

- It wasn't me, mum.

- It doesn't matter who it was.

Let's clean up.

Polly, please take the jump rope outside.

No rope games indoors.

- Sorry, mum.

I wanted angelina to play with me.

- Oh, don't worry, polly.

You can play with your dad and me instead.

Help me tidy up, angelina.

Be a good mouseling.

- [Sighs heavily]

I bet this doesn't happen to trish twirltail.

[Bouncy piano music]

[Tapping to rhythm]

- Let's see those ballet skips.

[All panting]

In time with the music please, class.

Keep up, viki.

- My legs are hurting.

[All grunting]

- Now turn, and frog leaps.

[All groaning]

Class.

Don't tell me you're all tired.

- No. I'm not tired.

Oh.

Okay.

Maybe a little.

- Dancers are some of the fittest athletes in the world.

- [Snoring]

- They're supposed to be, anyway.

[Laughter]

- [Laughs]

[Music stops]

- And so our next class project is to get more fit.

- What about push-ups, ms. Mimi?

Ha!

Ugh. Ooh.

- [Laughing] yes.

Did you know that athletes do ballet to keep fit?

- Of course we do.

Everyone knows that dancers are more fit than athletes.

- Then I'm the strongest of them all because I do both.

[Music plays]

- Now, listen up, mouselings.

Every part of your body must be strong to be a good dancer.

♪

All: wow.

- We're going to choose a part of your body to exercise today.

Your assignment is to find a prop

To help strengthen a part of your body.

Now, for you, you work on your feet.

Alice, your arms.

Viki, your eyes.

- My eyes?

What does that mean, ms. Mimi?

I need to wear glasses?

- [Laughs] no, viki.

You have to find a prop to improve your balance.

- Yippee!

This is gonna be fun.

Whoa.

[Chuckles]

- A.z., Your knees.

Gracie, your tummy.

And, angelina, your...

Legs.

- [Thinking] and I thought that would be

Absolutely, positively easy-peasy.

- Angelina.

I figured out my prop.

Look at my arms.

- Ha ha!

Me too.

Check out this footwork.

What have you all found?

- Oh, I'll think of mine later.

Ms. Mimi gave me "legs" to work on.

That's so easy.

- Yes, you're so lucky.

I got balance.

What am I gonna do?

- I bet trish twirltail would have a good idea.

- Yippee.

I've got it.

Come on, angelina.

Try balancing this.

- Hmm.

I'm not sure trish would do that.

[Gasps]

[Laughter]

[Bell rings]

- That's my cue.

- What? To mess up the classroom?

- Y-you know, i-i did that on purpose.

Angelina, check this out.

I've found my prop.

It's giving my knees the best workout.

- One, two, three, four.

And it'll work with the music.

Being clumsy really worked out for you, a.z.

But I still haven't thought of anything.

Maybe alice can help me.

Alice.

I still don't have a prop.

Oh, boy, I should have thought about it sooner.

- Don't worry, angelina.

Gracie hasn't found anything yet.

Want to look together?

- Oh, stupendous.

Yes, please.

- [Gasps] oh, no.

Stop that cheese!

- Quick, alice.

Gracie's cheese is rolling away.

Oh, no. What a mess.

- Gracie, are you going to eat this huge piece of cheese

On your own?

- I'm not going to eat it.

It's my prop to strengthen my tummy muscles.

It's what I need for the project.

[Straining] these crunches...

Work my... Tummy muscles.

[Sighs]

- Oh, and the wobbly ball makes you work harder.

- Exactement.

You try, angelina.

- Ugh.

Oh.

Ooh.

Uh! Oops.

It's much harder than it looks.

Ooh. Oh!

- [Laughing] don't worry, angelina.

Practice makes perfect.

- Now I'm the only one who hasn't found something.

- What about this?

I think this can work for you, angelina.

Like a big step.

One, two...

Oops!

- Now you've put your foot in it.

[Laughter]

- How about this?

Ooh.

Buh.

It's really hard work to...

Splat!

- What?

Make orange juice?

- [Laughs]

- Oh, alice, I thought it would be so simple.

What am I going to do?

- I'm sorry, angelina.

I've got to go home for dinner,

But I promise to be here early in the morning.

- Thanks, alice.

My leg muscles didn't get a workout,

But we had a lot of fun.

[Sighs heavily]

- Yay!

Oh, angelina, watch this great game.

One, two, three.

Jump!

- Angelina, will you play?

- Not now, polly.

I'm too worried about my school project.

- Shall I play instead, polly?

- Oh, yes.

Pretty please with cheese.

One,

Two,

Three.

Keep up, mummy!

- Oh.

- Oh, no.

You landed in the river.

- Ooh. My legs. They're exhausted.

I didn't know jumping the river would be such hard work.

- [Thinking] and that's when I had my great idea.

Ta-da.

Refreshments for all you hardworking river jumpers.

- Oh, thank you, angelina,

But what brought this on?

- To thank polly.

And to say I'm sorry for not being a fun big sister,

When she was actually helping me.

- Helping you?

- Your jump the river game,

It's a great way to make our legs stronger.

- [Laughs] I can agree with that.

- So...

Can I join you, polly?

- Oh, yes, angelina!

[Laughs]

- Angelina.

We are all here to help.

- [Gasps]

Thanks, everyone.

I figured it out.

I have to jump a river to get to you.

- Good job. - All right!

- Yeah!

- Polly, come out.

Let's all play jump the river.

- Oh, yeah. - Yes, please.

Both: one, two, three.

- Hola! Marco here.

Whoa, is that violin missing a middle?

[Chuckles] nah.

That's an electric violin.

It's supposed to look like that.

You plug it in,

And the music comes out of a speaker.

And over here is an acoustic viola.

Acoustic means the sound comes right from the instrument.

Violas and violins are string instruments

That were only used for classical music at first.

But now they are used for jazz, rock--

Oh, you name it!

Man, those guys really make the strings sing.

- Hello, I'm angelina ballerina.

My friends are going to take something old,

Add it to something new, and make something fantastic!

They're mixing a little latin-- that's the old--

With a bit of hip-hop, which is new.

They do a latin cha-cha.

One, two. Cha-cha-cha.

And now hip-hop.

Jump! Jump!

The cha-cha's smooth and flowing,

While hip-hop's rather fast and sharp.

I love that the different steps

Make something simply stupendous.
