- Strawberry.

- Right.

- No, no vanilla.

Or raspberry ripple?

Nope. Nope.

Strawberry.

- Strawberry it is.

- (sighs) Angelina. Angelina.

- What is it Alice?

- Three scoops of

chocolate ice cream,

please, Mrs. Thimble. The usual.

- (laughter)

- It's my very best

dream come true.

I can't believe it.

Oh, it's going to be

so wonderful, Angelina.

- Alice, what are

you talking about?

- There you are

girls. (laughter)

- (together) Thank you

- Hmm. Mrs. Thimble always

forgets I don't like cherries.

- (laughter)

- Anyway. You'll

never guess, Angelina.

I've been selected for

the All Mouseland

Gymnastics Championships.

- Really? Alice,

that's fantastic.

- And guess what.

The winner gets to join the

Mouseland Gymnastics Team.

The very same team Olga

Mousekovich belong to.

- Olga Mousekovich?

- Just think, maybe some day

I'll be as famous as Olga.

Huh?

Oops.

(Both laugh)

(Orchestral music)

- That's it Alice.

Tail tucked in.

Back straight.

Excellent.

No time for

sandwiches now, Alice.

We have work to do.

- But,

But,

- Time for the beam.

- The beam, Angelina?

I can't do the beam.

- Alice, you're

brilliant on the beam.

- Not anymore.

Not since I fell off

and sprained my tail.

- Alice, how do you

think you're going to win

if you don't do the beam?

- But,

- (clears throat)

- (crying) I can't.

I'm scared.

- Alice, you'll be fine.

Just give it a try.

- (shaky breathing)

- There. Now, one

step at a time.

(piano music)

- See. You're doing it.

Just don't look down.

- Just don't look down.

Oh.

Oh.

No.

Whoa. Oh.

Help.

- Oh, Alice.

(Laughter offscreen)

- What style, Alice.

- You haven't met our cousin

Finella Pinkpaws, have you?

- She's going to win

the championship trophy.

- It's going to look perfect

in the Pinkpaws' trophy cabinet.

- Let me show you how it's done.

(orchestral music)

- Well done, Finella.

(laughter)

- I haven't got a

chance of winning.

- Of course you have.

You're a fantastic gymnast.

- But I can't do the beam.

- Look, Alice! Olga Mousekovich.

Your name could

be on there, too.

- My name? With Olga's?

- I still don't see why

I have to practice

on a tight rope.

- Because once you can

balance on a tightrope,

balancing on the

beam will be easy.

- Whoops.

- Well done, Alice.

Now, try a hand stand.

- Okay.

Oh no.

- It's okay, Alice.

Just don't look down.

- Right. Don't look

Oh!

- Don't worry, Alice.

I'm sure you'll win

second place.

(laughter)

- It's no good Angelina.

I give up.

- But, Alice, you're

so good at gymnastics.

- I'll find something

else to be good at

like flower arranging or sewing.

- Alice, do you remember

how hard it was to

do your first somersaults?

- Or, cake decorating!

I'll be good at that.

- You couldn't do them for ages

but you tried and tried

until you were the best

at somersaults in

the whole school.

It's not like you to give up.

- Well, it is now!

- Olga Mousekovich!

- We're so pleased

you're able to

present the prizes

at the championship.

It's such an honor.

- Competition's are easy.

- Well, Alice it's such a shame

that you won't get

to meet her now.

- Oh? Won't I?

(crowd cheers)

- [Announcer] Alice

Nimbletoes for nine points

for the asymmetric bars.

- Yay! Well, done, Alice!

(piano music)

(crowd cheers)

- [Announcer] Finella Pinkpaws

with a score of nine points.

(orchestral music)

(crowd cheers)

(crowd cheers)

- And with just one event

to go Alice Nimbletoes

and Finella Pinkpaws

are tied for the lead.

- It's the beam.

And we all know how good

you are on the beam.

Don't we, Alice?

- Oh.

- Oh, little mouseling,

are you lost?

- Ma'am? Oh, hello,

Miss Mousekovich.

I was just getting

some fresh air.

- What a coincidence.

I was getting some

fresh air, too.

- ...competitions like

this always remind me

when I was your age.

- I bet you always won.

- No, not always.

I dreamed of being

a famous gymnast

but was scared of

the floor routine.

- The floor routine?

But that's the easiest one.

- It may seem so now, but

once I flipped too far

and nearly broke my paw.

- You did?

- Yes. But if I

hadn't kept trying,

I would never become

the Mouseland champion,

would I?

- No, you wouldn't.

(Crows cheers)

- And another nine

for Finella Pinkpaws.

- Well done, Finella.

They might as well put your

name on the trophy now.

- [Announcer] And

now, Alice Nibletoes.

(crowd cheers)

- Alice?

Alice?

- [Announcer] Alice Nimbletoes?

- Where is she?

- Alice Nimbletoes?

- Alice? Where are you?

(crowd cheers)

- Alice Nimbletoes is now

ready for the beam event.

- Go on, Alice.

(orchestral music)

(crowd cheers)

- Alice, that was wonderful.

- Alice Nimbletoes

scores a perfect .

- A ? I got a ,

- You did it, Alice.

You did it.

(crowd cheers)

- We were supposed to win that.

- Congratulations.

And I look forward

to you coming to live

at the Gymnastics

Academy, Alice.

- Thank you, Miss Mousekovich.

At the Academy?

- You'll love it at

the Academy, Alice.

- It's just what I

always wanted, isn't it?

- And we can write

every day.

- Of course.

- And we'll see each

other in the holidays.

- Angelina, why are you crying?

- Because I'm so happy.

- I'm so happy, too.

- On your own today, Angelina?

- Alice left this morning.

I think I'll have chocolate

today, Mrs. Thimble.

Alice always loved chocolate.

- I'm sorry.

I've just sold the last three

scoops of chocolate ice cream.

- Oh.

- How about strawberry?

- Yes. Thank you, Mrs. Thimble.

I wonder where

Alice is right now.

- Well, good friends and

never far away, dear.

There you are.

- Thank you.

(sighs) Ice cream

just isn't the same

without your best friend.

- Mrs. Thimble always forgets

I don't like cherries,

- But you're at

You're at

I mean, I thought you were,

You're supposed to be

- You know, Angelina,

being a famous gymnast

isn't the same without

your best friend

or chocolate ice cream.

(both laugh)

(Orchestral music)

- One. Two. Three.

One. Two. Three.

Lift, lift the left high.

Good.

Angelina.

- Isn't Angelina just perfect?

She's got to win Miss Lily's

special prize tonight.

- And William, please.

- William?

- William? Where is

my handsome prince?

- William.

- What?

(telephone rings)

- Hold it there,

darlings. Nobody move.

That is wonderful news.

Well, of course I will.

Oh, Oh, Oh.

Oh, Angelina.

Angelina.

The baby's arrived.

You've got a little sister.

- Oh hurray!

Bye.

- Oh.

- Let me see her.

Oh, she's so beautiful.

Oh, look at her tiny toes.

I can't wait to bring

her to ballet lessons

and I can take her to school

and she can even

share my bedroom.

- Well, maybe not quite yet.

- We're calling her Polly.

- Polly. Oh, that's

just perfect for her.

- Goochi, goochi, goo.

- Dad.

- Just a moment, Angelina.

- Oh. Sorry.

- Oh, dear.

- Don't worry, Dad.

- Ballerinas often don't

eat before a performance.

Can I hold her?

- Here you are.

Gently.

(crying)

- Oh! She doesn't like me.

- Of course she does, Angelina.

She's just tired.

Oh, there. There.

- Ah.

- Oh, hello. How is the baby?

- She's crying.

- Come along girls.

We're going to be late

- But Mum and Dad are taking me.

Aren't you?

- Ah, yes. Angelina, I

was meaning to tell you,

your mother is very tired.

I need to look after her.

- But it's end of year show.

You always come.

- I'm sorry, darling, but

(baby cooing)

- I'll try to get there later

for the prize giving.

- Oh, bother.

- Aren't you happy?

- Yes. But, why did the

baby have to come today?

(applause)

- Can you see him?

- No.

- It gives me great

pleasure to present my award

to the most promising

dancer of the year.

Angelina Mouseling!

- Angelina.

- Oh.

- Congratulations, my dear.

- Thank you.

What a happy day

this is for you.

- Well, it would have

been if he'd come.

- How's Polly?

- Is she walking yet?

Can she say her name?

- She can't do anything.

Except cry.

She kept me awake all night.

- Oh!

- Isn't that what

babies always do?

- I'm starving.

Dad burnt everything this

morning except the plate.

Oh!

That's it!

I've had enough.

- Goochie goochie goo.

Goochie goochie goo.

- Hello, Mom.

- Oh, I'm so pleased to see you.

- I didn't get a chance to

show you my prize properly.

- Will you play

with Polly for me

while I phone

Grandma and Grandpa?

- Do I have to?

- Please Angelina?

And make sure you

keep an eye on her.

(baby cooing)

- See this Polly?

I won it for being the most

promising dancer of the year.

Oh, you are such a nuisance.

What was the that?

(baby crying)

- Oh, Polly. How could you?

- I thought I told you

to keep an eye on her.

She nearly fell off the bed.

- She broke my prize.

- There, there. It's

all right, Polly.

- You just don't care

about me anymore, do you?

It's all Polly, Polly, Polly.

- Everything all right, dear?

- She's been very

tearful all day.

- Really?

- You can have my room

for the baby if you like

I'm leaving home.

- Oh, I'm sure it's

nothing to worry about.

- If you want to write to me,

I'll be at grandma

and grandpa's.

- I was wondering

if it might be wind.

- You know? The ones

that really love me.

Goodbye, Mum. Goodbye, Dad.

- I'll try burping her again.

- Oh, at last.

- (together) Angelina!

- Oh, Grandma. Grandpa.

- What are you doing here?

- She's come to

meet us. How nice.

- Well, no. I'm not...

- Kiss for Grandma?

- What have you got in

here, Angelina? An elephant?

- Well, I only brought

the things I really need.

- For what?

- Well, I'm coming

to live with you.

- Don't be so silly, Angelina.

- But Mum and Dad

don't want me anymore.

- Oh. Of course they do.

- They need you to help

look after the baby.

- Oh.

- (together) We're here!

- And Miss Lilly gave her to me

for being the most promising

dancer of the year.

- Where is she?

- In the suitcase.

I'll get you out so you

can glue her back together.

- Oh, no. I meant where's Polly?

- Polly. Polly. Polly.

I'm sick of Polly.

- (together) Shh

- I've changed my mind.

I don't want a sister.

If there was a baby shop,

I'd ask for my money back.

- Aww.

- Aww.

- Whatever is going on?

(baby cries)

- Oh, dear.

Angelina!

What's the matter?

- You don't care

about me anymore.

- Of course I do. I love

you just as much as ever.

- No you don't. All you

care about is Polly.

- Oh. That's not true.

I love both of you.

Oh. There. There.

I know it's been hard.

You'll always be

special to me, Angelina.

You were my very first baby.

(baby crying)

- Come have a cuddle, Angelina.

- Angelina won a

ballet prize, you know?

And we were so sad because

we missed her performance.

- We can't have that.

You must dance for

us now, Angelina.

- I suppose I could do my solo.

- That's the spirit.

(baby crying)

(baby cooing)

- She wants to dance with you.

- Really?

Let me take her, Dad.

And to think that

yesterday I wanted

to take you back

to the baby shop.

How silly of me.

- Yes. I'm very glad you didn't.

- Me, too.

She really is the most promising

little sister of the year.

Aren't you, Polly?

And as soon as you can walk,

I'm going to teach you,

your first ballet steps

and we'll buy you

some ballet shoes

and I'll take you

to Miss Lilly's

and I'll play with

you and babysit

and

(everyone laughs)

(orchestral music)

- [Angelina] I'm so glad my

dancing made Polly feel better.

It wasn't just my

dancing though.

It was because dad was

playing such a happy tune.

(mellow music playing)

This is nice too.

It's so gentle and quiet.

(suspenseful music plays)

Not like this music.

It's very spooky.

It would make Polly feel scared.

Just like Antonia

and little Scarlet.

(melancholy music plays)

And this music would

make Polly cry.

It's so sad.

Just like Charlotte and Iman.

(whimsical music plays)

Music can sound lots

of different ways.

Charlotte's pretending to

be Little Red Riding Hood

and she's having fun and

that's why the music's happy.

Oh dear!

Little Red Riding Hood is lost,

so the music isn't

happy anymore.

Oh good.

Hamish is being the woodcutter.

He's going to show

Little Red Riding Hood

the way to grandma's house.

Hmm. That doesn't

look like grandma

but the music is

gentle and quiet.

Little Red Riding Hood is right.

Grandma does have big eyes

and a very big nose.

And a really big mouth.

Listen, the music's changing.

Something's very wrong.

Watch out Little

Red Riding Hood!

Good. The woodcutter saved

Little Red Riding Hood.

That's why the

music's happy again.

That music's really funny.

It would make Polly laugh.
