In an old house in paris

That was covered
with vines

Lived 12 little girls

In two straight lines.

The smallest one
was madeline.

What could that be?

[Girls talking at once]

An elephant loose
from the zoo?

An earthquake?

Aha!

It's coming
from the embassy.

[Woof woof]

It was something grand,
no doubt,

For a giant truck
was pulling out.

Someone very important
must be visiting
the spanish ambassador.

A workman hung
bright lights all over

While the gardener
cut the clover.

Voila! Look!

A tent. The biggest one
I've have ever seen!

[Madeline]
pepito,
what is happening?

Is the king of spain
coming to visit?

Maybe both
the king and queen.

How exciting!

And maybe not!

But then who is this
all for?

I know! A famous
spanish bullfighter.

Maybe.

Then again,
maybe not.

Not in recent history
had there been such a mystery.

Pepito!

Aaaaah!

All right, pepito.
Talk sensibly.

I am talking
sensibly.

We are having
a ball.

Maybe a sheik
or a princess
will come.

Maybe 10 or 20!

Maybe? You do not know
who you invited?

It is
a costume ball,
silly.

Anyone could
show up.

Oh, wow!
How exciting!

It will be
the grandest ball ever!

[Whispering]

We are invited,
n'est-ce pas?

You? Oh,
I do not know.

Pepito,
you naughty boy.

You forgot to
give these
to the girls.

Oh, these!
I must have
forgotten, mama.

Uh!

It is an invitation
to the ball.

Of course!
You're my best friends.

And there will be
a grand prize
for best costume.

How exciting!

I shall win!

No, I will!

Moi!

Come play bullfight,
madeline.

I will even let you
be the matador
this time.

Sorry, pepito.

We must start
making our costumes.

But...

Aah!

[Ruff ruff]

The girls worked on their
costumes with determination...

I am fatima,
gypsy princess.

Yippee!

Giggling at every silly
new creation.

Beware!

Oh!
Oh, no!

The phantom
of the opera!

Whoa!

Aah! Ugh!

Ha ha!
Ha ha!

With the grand prize
as their incentive,

The little girls
were most inventive.

[Whistling sailor's hornpipe]

[Barking
sailor's hornpipe]

What is this?

A fairy godmother?

Uh-uh.

Everyone was doing fine

Except, perhaps,
for madeline.

[Clicking castanets]

[Girls laughing]

No matter how hard
madeline tried...

She could not be satisfied.

Then, left alone
to do some hiking...

Aha!

She thought of something
to her liking,

And the girls knew
it would be quite striking.

Suddenly,
the room went dark.

Voila!

Who is she?

I am the heroine
of all france,

Joan of arc!

The room was quiet.
No one stirred.

Not one little girl
could say a word.

What is wrong?
You do not like it?

Who ever heard
of a joan of arc

With polka dots?

Polka dots?

[Gasp]

Danielle,
you have spots, too!

And you, nicole!

And you, chloe!

We all have spots!

They hurried off
to miss clavel...

Miss clavel!

What?

Who knew at once
they were not well.

The little girls
were put to bed.

They waited there
with anxious dread.

Hmm!

Hmm! Say "ahh."

Ahh...

[Dr. Cohn]
aha!

Please, dr. Cohn.
What is it?

These little girls
have the chicken pox.

Chicken pox?

Chicken pox?
Chicken pox?

What does this mean?

It means
you will have spots
and itching for a while.

And you must try
not to scratch.

But after that,
you will be just fine.

But things were worse
than they had dreamed.

You girls must now
be quarantined.

What is
"quarantined"?

You must stay away
from other people

So they do not
catch it, too.

We must stay away
from miss clavel?

Not me, little girls.
I had the chicken pox
as a child,

And I cannot
catch it again.

Does that mean
no morning walks?

No morning walks.

No visits
to the zoo?

No zoo.

No costume ball?

Especially
no costume ball.

No costume ball.

This cannot be!

My beautiful costume!

Quelle horreur!

Quelle horreur!
Quelle horreur!

The next morning,
when they checked their clocks,

They knew there would be
no more walks...

[Girls groan]

Just the itchy, spotty
chicken pox.

Why did we have
to get sick now?

Is there nothing
to make it go away?

I am afraid not,
mes enfants.

But before you know it,
you will be better.

And remember,
mes petites,

You must not
scratch those spots.

Good night, little girls.
Sleep well.

[All]
good night, miss clavel.

[Sigh]
[sigh]

As the days marched by
in slow succession...

More spots appeared
in quick progression,

Leaving the girls
in a deep depression.

I have more spots
than freckles.

Even my spots
have spots!

I have more spots
than this ladybug.

[Miss clavel]
cheer up, little girls.

It will not
last forever.

[Sigh]
[sigh]
[sigh]

But they could not
help but cry,

For they missed
chasing butterflies.

[Sigh]
[sigh]

[Pepito]
madeline!
Where are you?

Ha ha!
Ha ha!

Bonjour, pepito.
We are up here.

Come out and play!

But wait.
Is this your costume?

No. It is not
a costume.

It is the chicken pox.

Chicken pox?
But chickens do not
have that many spots!

Ha ha ha!

You should not laugh
at people who are sick.

Wait! Madeline,
I am sorry!

I will cheer you up.
You will see.

It is what I'm
wearing to the ball.

Is it not magnifico?

The ball?

[Boo hoo]
[boo hoo]

Wait! What is wrong?
What did I say?

Little did pepito know

His costume would cause
such a blow.

Madeline, please!
I am sorry.

What did I do?

There was nothing left to do
but go.

[Sigh]
[sigh]

[Sigh]
[sigh]

[Sigh]
[sigh]

As the big day neared,
the girls felt poor,

Hearing the excitement
from next door.

But madeline was tired
of feeling so blue
of staying in bed

With nothing to do.

No more sighing!

But we have
nothing to do.

We cannot go out
and have fun.

And we are missing
the costume ball.

But we can
have fun...

Right here!

Ha ha!
Ha ha!

They soon forgot
they were feeling blue.

My little girls
are pulling through.

Then madeline had more
ideas for fun

For girls who cannot
play or run.

Now we play
connect the dots--

Huh?
Huh?

Er...spots.

You first, nicole.

Look, on nicole's tummy!
It is pepito's bad hat!

Ha ha!

Ha ha!

And I have a clown!

And I have a dog.
It is genevieve!

[Ruff ruff]

Now you, madeline.
What is on your tummy?

Wow! Look at that!

Ooh, I have
so many spots!

It took extra long
to connect the dots.

Oh, my!

What is it?

They checked her stomach
with greatest care,

But no one could figure out
what was there.

A goat?

Uh-uh.
Uh-uh.

A pig?

No, no.
No, no.

A bat?

No.
No.

Voila! Of course.
I know what it is.

Oh!
Oh!

[All]
it is a giraffe!

With lots of spots!

Ha ha!
Ha ha!

Miss clavel
heard their giggles,

Then was shocked
when she saw their squiggles.

Oh, my. I think it
is time for a bath!

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

The next morning came
without a sigh or a moan,

So miss clavel
went to the phone

And dialed the number
of dr. Cohn.

Bonjour, docteur.

I think my little girls
are almost well.

So on the dot
of a quarter past 9:00,

He entered the house
all covered with vines

And examined the girls
in two straight lines.

So, madeline,
how are you
feeling today?

Tres bien!

And to make sure
that he understood,

She did a cartwheel
where she stood.

[Laughing and talking]

Hmm, I see.
Ah, yes.

Aha!

What could be happening?
What could this mean?

The end of
the little girls'
quarantine.

Ahem. I am very proud
of you, mes enfants.

Do we get to go
to the ball?

Say yes.
Please?

Shh! Little girls,
let dr. Cohn finish.

Hmm...

After some time
that seemed like ages,

He pronounced them
not contagious.

Then we can go
to the ball?

I do not see
why not.

Yay!
Ha ha!

Pepito!
Pepito!

Pepito, we are
no longer sick.

We can come
to the ball.

You're coming to the ball
with all those spots?

Ha ha ha!

Do not worry. No one
will laugh at you...

Just at your spots!
Ha ha ha!

True, their spots
were not gone.

Each girl
still had a batch,

But they were not the sort
that a person could catch.

All these spots.

We cannot go
to the ball.

Everyone will
laugh at us!

No, chloe,
no one will laugh.

No. No one will laugh
at your spots.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

[Thud]

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

[Girls talking]

I have it!
We must get busy.
We have much to do.

What do you mean?

Our costumes
for the ball, of course.

Costumes
for the ball?

With these spots?
Never!

[Whispering]

Oh, madeline!
What a wonderful idea!

It was the night
of the ball,

And everyone was there,

From the mayor of paris
and his wife--

What a pair--

To an unmannerly clown
with some flaming-red hair

And a transylvanian count
who caused quite a scare.

There were hats of all sizes
and wigs with long curls,

But there still was no trace
of the 12 little girls.

Where could
the little girls be?

[Animal noises]

Did you hear that,
carino?

[Animal noises]

Surely it is nothing.
I will see for myself.

[Meow]

[Meow]

[Meow]

¡a ver!

Then more spotted animals
leapt from the bush.

Dogs, cows, and antelope
emerged with a swoosh!

Who are
all the creatures?

But the animals did not
seem quite so tough

When the leopard sampled
a cream puff.

Mmm! Bon!

That little voice
gave them a sign

That the mystery feline
was madeline.

I believe we have "spotted"
the girls from next door!

Bravo!

Bravo!

Please,
seã‘or ambassador,

Where is pepito?

Oui, oui,
where is he?

Up here, muchachas.

I am up here.

[Madeline]
pepito?

I will take you
to him.

The girls crowded around
with care and concern.

What was ailing pepito,
they needed to learn.

Pepito, what are
you doing in bed?

[Fireworks]

Lit up by fireworks
while hiding in bed,

He was covered with spots
from his toes to his head.

Oh, poor pepito!

You have got
the chicken pox.

And now you're
going to tease me
like I teased you!

Mais non, pepito. We have
come to be with our friend.

Go on. You do not want
to miss the fireworks.

And anyway, you might
catch it again.

But we cannot
catch it again.

And we can see the fireworks
right here with you.

Really?
You want to?

Mais oui!

Yes, pepito!

Madeline, girls,
I have something for you.

With a happy smile
and cheery eyes,

The ambassador gave them
the first prize.

Felicitaciones, niã‘as,
you have won first prize!

You have the best
costumes at the ball.

Oh, we won!
Hooray!

We won!
Oh, wow!

Below in the garden,
the guests had their fun,

But the best party of all
had just begun.

And they stayed
with their friend.

That's what friends
are for.

And that's all there is.
There isn't any more.

♪ It's time to go,
au revoir ♪

♪ Though you may
shout "encore" ♪

♪ That's all there is ♪

♪ There isn't
any more ♪
