- [Alice] Come on, William,
just a bit further.
(children chatter)
- Higher.
- Come on,
you're nearly there.
- Come on, William,
you can do it.
(William whimpers)
- Come on, William.
- [William] It didn't look
quite this high from the ground.
- [Alice] Don't
look down, William.
Keep your eye on the tree.
- Gosh, I did it.
- See? I knew you could.
(William grunts)
- [Angelina] It's my turn now.
(William grunts)
- [William] Go on, Angelina.
- [Mouse] Go on, Angelina.
- [William] It's not far now.
- [Mouse] Don't look down.
- [William] Come
on, you can do it.
- [Mouse] Yes
- [Alice] Hello, Miss Lily.
- Now, be careful, darling.
- Don't worry, Miss Lily,
I'm a great climber.
(Angelina grunts)
- It's my turn to
push him, Priscilla.
- You just had a turn, Penelope.
- Did not.
- Did too.
- It's the new baby.
- Oh.
- Oh.
- Oh, look, a new baby.
- Oh, the baby.
- Oh, oh.
- Let me see.
(Angelina pants)
- Yes, look, everybody,
I made it to the very top.
I, I...
Alice, William?
Oh, where is everyone?
(mice chatter)
Oh, well, really.
- Aw.
- Aw.
- Excuse me.
(Angelina grunts)
Excuse me.
Oh, oh, will somebody
please let me in
so I can see?
- Aw.
- He's got the
sweetest little nose.
- And the longest
whiskers I've ever seen.
- And those toes.
Some day, he will be a
wonderful little dancer,
just like your sisters, no?
(baby coos)
(Miss Lily laughs)
- [Mouse] Aw, he's so cute.
- Well, I (scoffs)
(soft piano music)
(ballerinas grunt)
- And did you see his smile?
Wasn't that the sweetest
smile in the whole world?
- And that little hat,
wasn't it the cutest
hat you've ever seen?
- Actually, I've seen cuter.
- Wasn't that nice of them
to ask me over this
afternoon to help feed him?
- What?
You mean today?
But, but I thought we
were going to the park.
- Oh, I'm sorry, Angelina.
I was so excited, I
forgot all about it,
but we can go
tomorrow, can't we?
- Tomorrow?
I don't know what all
the fuss is about.
I mean, what's so
special about a new baby?
People have babies all the time.
(Penelope laughs)
- Angelina, you're just jealous.
- Jealous? Jealous?
What's there to
be jealous about?
As a matter of fact,
we're going to have
a new baby, too.
- Oh.
- Oh.
- Angelina.
- Angelina, why, that's, that's-
- Wonderful news, darling.
- Uh, yes, yes, but, um...
Oh, what have I done?
- Yes, Mrs. Thimble,
isn't it wonderful?
A surprise for the new baby?
Yes, darling, it's
perfect, perfect.
They will never suspect.
- Oh no.
(birds chirp)
- Oh, please, please,
please let me tell first.
- No, Alice.
I have something
important to tell you.
- But, Angelina, mine's
really, really important.
- Oh, all right,
Alice, what is it?
- Well, there's going to be
a big surprise tomorrow night
at the Chipping Cheddar Feast,
a cake, and balloons,
and presents,
and guess who it's
all for, Angelina.
- I already know.
- You do?
Well, isn't it just the most
wonderful idea, Angelina?
Angelina?
- Let's see, three country
rye, two honey wheat,
four large baguettes.
Hm, I wonder if
that will be enough.
- Oh, I'm sure that'll be
plenty. Mrs. Mouseling.
- You never know with the
Chipping Cheddar Feast.
- (laughs) Right you are,
Mrs. Mouseling, right you are.
- Uh, Mom, I need
to talk to you.
- Maybe I should've bought
a few loaves of corn bread.
Thank you.
Bye.
(grocer chuckles)
- Mom.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
What is it, dear?
- Well.
- Darlings, how
wonderful to see you.
You look so, oh, so radiant,
but what are you doing
carrying such a heavy bundle?
After all, it's not a good
idea in your condition.
(dramatic orchestral music)
- My condition?
Whatever could she mean?
(Angelina gasps)
- Perfect.
- You know, perhaps I
should get one more loaf.
- No, no, I mean, wait,
I mean, I'll get it.
(Angelina grunts)
(Maurice grunts)
(Maurice hums)
(Maurice grunts)
Dad.
- Oh, what?
Just a moment, Angelina,
I've almost got it.
Hammer, please.
- Hammer.
But, Dad, I've got
something to tell you.
- What did you say?
- I said I've got
something to tell you.
(Maurice grunts)
- One moment, darling.
Spanner.
- Spanner.
- Just as soon as I adjust
this one (grunts)
last (grunts) bolt.
There.
Now, what did you
want to tell me?
- Well, yesterday, Priscilla
and Penelope brought
their new baby brother
to ballet class, and
everyone was cooing,
and acting like the baby
was the cutest thing since,
since (grunts)
- Sliced cheese?
- Yes, and, suddenly,
I found myself saying-
(horn honks)
- Oh dear.
Ah.
(Angelina mutters)
- You see?
It just sort of slipped out.
I didn't mean to say it.
- Say what, dear?
(mouse chuckles)
- See you tonight.
(mouse chuckles)
- [Matilda] Angelina.
- Oh, how am I ever going
to get out of this mess?
- Angelina, will you take
this over to Mrs. Hodgepodge?
She's broken her
leg, poor thing,
and won't be able to go to
the Chipping Cheddar Feast.
- Broken her leg?
Oh.
(soft harp music)
(door closes)
(Angelina sings)
Oh.
(Angelina pants)
(Angelina groans)
- How's the ankle, darling?
Does it hurt very much?
- Only when I move it, Mom.
(Angelina whimpers)
See?
- I just don't understand
how you could've
taken such a tumble.
- I'm sorry I
spoiled your evening.
I know you and Dad wanted
to go to the feast.
- It doesn't matter, sweetheart.
It was an accident.
- Uh, um (clears throat) Mom.
- Yes, dear?
- Is there a difference
between a lie
and, say, um, an exaggeration?
- Well, I suppose
an exaggeration
is making something seem
bigger than it really is,
and a lie, well,
a lie is saying something
that just isn't true.
Why do you ask, Angelina?
- Oh, I was just wondering.
- Look who just
happened to be passing.
- Hello, Dr. Tuttle.
What a stroke of luck.
- Heh, yes indeed,
Mrs. Mouseling.
Now, let me have a look at
this sprained ankle, yes, yes.
- But, I, I, um.
(suspenseful orchestral music)
- Well, I couldn't
really feel any swelling,
and, well, we all know
how Angelina hates
to miss a good party.
- But.
- Well, at least
we're not too late.
- Aw, it's just a
delightful mouse as well.
- Come, my good friend,
I'll serve you a piece
of Mrs. Mouseling's
special cheddar cheese pie.
(mice chatter)
(Alice pants)
- Oh, Angelina,
are you all right?
- Oh, Alice, I've just
got to tell you something.
- (chuckles) Not now, Angelina,
you're just in time.
- But Alice, I, I.
- [Mice] Surprise.
(mice chatter)
- Oh no.
It's all my fault.
I didn't mean to tell a lie,
but, when I saw the new
baby, I was so jealous,
and the words just
popped right out,
and then one thing
led to another,
and I'm sorry for the cake
and all the presents,
but the truth is, my mom isn't
really going to have a baby.
- A baby?
- Darling, what are
you talking about?
- I think my little ballerina
has some explaining to do.
- [Mouse] I think so too.
- [Mouse] Oh dear.
(mice chatter)
- Welcome, little one.
- Oh, how lovely.
- Can I blow out the candles?
- No, I want to blow them out.
(Priscilla and Penelope blow)
(mice laugh and chatter)
(juice pours)
- I'm really sorry I lied.
= Well, I have to admit,
when you tell a
lie, it's a whopper.
- And just a bit embarrassing.
(Matilda laughs)
But the look on
your father's face.
(Matilda and Maurice laugh)
- Good night.
- It won't happen
again, I promise.
From now on, I'll just
stick to exaggerations.
- You better not.
(Angelina and Matilda laugh)
Don't worry, darling,
you'll have a new baby some day.
- Really?
(Matilda chuckles)
- Maybe.
(Maurice coughs)
- Can I have a baby sister?
We could name her, um, Polly,
(Matilda laughs)
and I'll teach her
everything I know about ballet,
and she'll be the
best little ballerina
in the whole, wide world,
(Maurice laughs)
and I'll take her everywhere,
to the park, and to the fair,
and we'll go on all
the rides, of course,
because she'll love
fast rides, just like.
(lively orchestral music)
(soft piano music)
- One, two, three,
two, two, Angelina, two, three,
two, two, three.
(Angelina grunts)
- Oh, oh.
(ballerinas grunt)
Those twins are too much.
- Don't worry, Angelina,
you'll be the best
Rose Fairy Princess
in all of Mouseland.
- Thanks.
(suspenseful orchestral music)
- Oh, your-
- Sh.
- [Miss Lilly] And again.
(soft piano music)
(Angelina grunts)
(Angelina whimpers)
- Oh, ow.
- Never mind, Angelina.
- After all, you can
always join the chorus
of dancing flowers.
(Priscilla chuckles)
- You dance so beautifully.
I wish that all my little
(speaks in Russian)
could be the star,
but as I always say, sometimes,
you are the princess,
and sometimes, you are the pea.
- Oh, Alice, I hope I
get to be the princess.
- Well, I don't care
what Miss Lilly says,
I'm never going to play a pea.
- Yes, the Rose Fairy
Princess shall be danced by-
- Oh, Miss Lilly, I
knew I'd get the part,
I just knew it.
- Penelope, darling, I'm sorry,
but this time, Angelina
will dance the part
of the Rose Fairy Princess.
- Me?
You mean I got the part?
- But Miss Lilly.
- And you, Penelope,
will make a beautiful
dancing flower.
(soft harp music)
- Oh, Alice, I got the part,
and I'm going to
practice every day,
times a day.
I'm going to be the best
Rose Fairy Princess ever.
- A single wire, darling,
what a perfect finale.
My beautiful Rose
Fairy Princess will fly
across the stage
on a single wire.
It's marvelous, don't
you think, Angelina?
- What?
A single wire?
(door opens)
- Oh, Penelope is going to
hate being part of the chorus.
She'll probably throw
her petals around,
and tell everybody what to do.
Maybe I should ask Miss Lilly
if I can play a rose bush.
The Rose Fairy Castle
would look very nice
with a rose bush in front of it,
don't you think, Angelina?
Angelina?
(door opens)
(soft orchestral music)
- Miss Lilly, I, um.
- Angelina, darling.
- Miss Lilly, um, I
was just wondering
if a single wire is
such a good idea.
I mean, the audience
might see a wire,
and that could be
a very big problem.
- A problem?
- Yes, it could be a problem,
but a ladder, yes,
a tall ladder,
decorated with vines
to look like a tower.
Now, that would be something.
- Oh, Angelina, you are
a funny little mouseling.
Just imagine the feeling
of soaring above the
stage like a bird.
You will be, you
will be magnificent.
- Oh.
(Angelina whimpers)
(suspenseful orchestral music)
(soft orchestral music)
- It just doesn't make sense.
Why, you're the bravest,
most daring mouse
I've ever known.
- But this is just
one little wire.
I mean, what if it breaks?
- But it won't break.
I'm sure that Miss-
- Hurry, Alice, rehearsal
is in three hours,
and we've got to find Cevo.
- [Alice] Cevo?
Who's Cevo?
- The Magnificent Cevo,
most daring trapeze artist
in the world, one week only.
Well, this must be the place.
Oh, come on.
(lively orchestral music)
Mr. Cevo, can you help
me fly on a single wire?
- A single wire?
(Cevo grunts)
Little mouseling, you've
come to the right place,
but first, we must prepare.
(lively orchestral music)
(springs squeak)
(springs squeak)
Higher, higher, that's right.
Flap your wings like a bird.
(Angelina grunts)
Magnificent.
That's right, point your toes,
throw your weight into it.
(Angelina grunts)
(Angelina whimpers)
Focus, keep your
eyes on the bars.
Yes, perfect.
(Alice claps)
(hook clatters)
(Angelina whimpers)
- I can't do it.
(Angelina whimpers)
(Angelina shouts)
(Angelina grunts)
- You know, it's not so
bad being a dancing flower.
(lively piano music)
(ballerinas grunt)
What are you going to do?
- I don't know.
- Beautiful, beautiful.
And now, the curtain closes,
and all the dancing flowers
take their final positions.
Angelina, are you ready?
Angelina?
(ballerinas mutter)
- I, um (whimpers)
- [Miss Lilly] Angelina,
are you all right?
(Angelina whimpers)
(suspenseful orchestral music)
- Ow.
- Oh, Angelina.
What's happened?
- She's fainted.
(Angelina whimpers)
- Where am I?
- I suspect our little Rose
Fairy Princess is afraid.
- Oh dear, I must've fainted.
- Well, I'm sure it's
nothing too serious.
- No, I think it
must be very serious.
So serious, in fact, that
she probably won't be able
to dance the part,
but I can, Miss Lilly,
I know every step.
- Thank you, Penelope,
but I am sure Angelina
will be all right.
Don't worry, my darling,
there will be no more
flying for today.
- But Miss Lilly.
- [Miss Lilly] No, I insist.
My little Rose Fairy
Princess needs her rest.
(car engine rumbles)
- See you later, my
dear, and good luck.
- It's for good luck.
I mean, not that
you'll need it, I mean.
- Oh, thank you, Alice.
It's a beautiful gift.
(string snaps)
(Alice gasps)
(suspenseful orchestral music)
- Oh dear.
- The show's about to start.
What am I going to do?
- I don't know.
Oh, I wish I could do something.
I mean, I'd even fly across
the stage for you, if I could,
but I'm just a dancing flower.
(Angelina gasps)
- Alice, that's it,
you're a genius.
- I am?
- Yes, yes, you are.
It's a perfect idea, Alice.
You'll fly across the
stage instead of me.
- Dancing flowers just
don't do things like that.
- Don't you see?
We'll switch costumes
right before the finale.
No one will ever know.
(door closes)
- Oh, bravo.
(audience claps and cheers)
Marvelous, oh, yay.
Oh, yay.
(audience cheers)
- Oh.
(Angelina hums)
(audience claps and cheers)
Now, Alice, now.
- I'm coming, Angelina.
Oh.
(Alice groans)
- Oh, bravo.
(audience claps and cheers)
Marvelous, oh, yay.
- Alice, Alice, where are you?
(Alice grunts)
- Oh, oh dear.
- Alice.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(curtains scrape)
Oh.
(audience claps)
- Magnificent.
- The show must go on,
and I won't let you
down, Miss Lilly.
After all, I am the
Rose Fairy Princess
(triumphant orchestral music)
(audience gasps)
- [Audience] Ah.
(Angelina giggles)
- Oh (grunts) oh.
- Oh, props.
(walls bang)
(dramatic orchestral music)
(William whimpers)
- Even though the
scenery collapsed,
you were a wonderful
dancing flower, Alice.
- Do you really think so?
- Yes, you were the
best I've ever seen.
You know, I was thinking,
I'm going to talk to Miss Lilly
about doing a ballet
about a circus girl.
- A circus girl?
- Yes, a dancing circus girl
who flies across the
stage on a single wire.
- [Alice] Angelina.
- And, of course, I'll
play the circus girl.
- Angelina.
- And it will be the
best ballet ever.
(lively orchestral music)
(soft piano music)
Flying across the stage
on a single wire
was scary, but fun.
We don't do that
in ballet class,
but we do practice
jumping and leaping.
Oh, Iman and Scarlet
are playing a game
I used to play when
I was very little.
Miss Lilly says it's good
for practicing
pushing off the floor,
and helps you to
jump really high.
Oh, now, they're
playing rockets.
That was one of
my favorite games.
When you jump, you have to
keep your legs very straight,
and your toes pointed.
Vanessa's teaching the
boys how to do jumps too.
Toby's practicing
his changement.
Now, Vanessa's showing Callum
how to position his feet
for a super sous.
Almost, Callum.
Haimish is doing
a different jump,
called an echappe saute.
(soft classical guitar music)
Paloma, and Tonya, and
Scarlet are practicing sautes.
That was good, Scarlet.
(lively piano music)
Caitlin's showing
our little stars
how to do jetes.
That scarf looks like
the one Miss Lilly uses
to mark the spot Alice
and I have to leap over
when we're practicing our jumps.
I can't wait to learn
how to do grand jetes,
and batterie steps.
I'd better start practicing
my jumps right now.
