- I'm angelina ballerina.

My friend marco and I both entered a radio contest,

And now we're waiting to see if either of us won.

They should be announcing the winner any minute.

- Two tickets to see marcel mouseau

In a solo mime performance?

I know I'mgonna win those tickets.

- You mean I'mgoing to win.

- That was mouse in da house

From hip-hop artist jam mouster "g."

Now check it out, kids.

We've got a winner for the two tickets

To marcel mouseau's solo mime show.

It's...

Marco quesillo from chipping cheddar.

- That's me! I won!

- Oh, well.

- But there's a catch.

Marco, if you're listening, we'll be calling you

This time tomorrow to ask you three questions.

If you answer them correctly, the tickets are yours.

- Congratulations, marco. I'm really happy for you.

I know how much you like mime.

- I don't just like to watch it.

I'm a really good mime myself,

Almost as good as marcel mouseau.

- You think so?

- I could mime my way out of a paper bag.

Voila!

- [Laughs]

That's pretty good, marco,

But marcel mouseau's been miming for a long time.

I'm sure you still have a lot to learn.

- Not that much.

I can mime anything.

I could mime all day long if I had to.

- Oh, really?

You think you could go an entire day

Just acting everything without saying a single word?

- I know I can.

- Want to bet?

- Sure.

- Okay, here's the deal.

If you can go all day tomorrow without speaking till : ,

You keep those marcel mouseau tickets,

But if you say even one word, those tickets are mine.

[Laughs] oh, I get it.

You've already started miming, right?

Hey, marco.

You ready to start your day of miming?

Okay, what are you going to do first?

Hmm.

Let me guess.

You're playing the piano?

Oh, you're moonwalking.

[Laughs]

You're walking downstairs,

Then upstairs.

Pretty good, marco.

What else can you do?

[Gasps] I get it.

You're washing an imaginary piece of glass.

Wow, you are good, marco.

Here, let me help you hold the glass,

But let's see if you can keep it up all day.

- Quoi? What is this marco's doing?

- He's cleaning this big piece of glass.

Marco and I made a bet.

He thinks he can mime all day without speaking,

And I think he can't.

Whoever wins gets two tickets

To see marcel mouseau's big show, right, marco?

[Laughs]

Okay, I admit it.

I was trying to make you say something.

- What other mime can you do?

- No, no, no. You'll smash the glass.

Walk around it, please.

- [Laughs] oops. Sorry.

- Looks like marco's trapped in a box,

And he's trying to find his way out.

- Wow! - That's off the hook, marco.

- Bravo, marco.

You're a natural.

Maybe someday you'll be another marcel mouseau.

- Marco mouseau!

[All laugh]

- Now, who can tell me what separates

The district of cheddary st. Mary

And the county of stiltonshire?

- Ooh! I know, ms. Mimi.

- No, I think I'll ask marco. Marco?

Ah-ah-ah.

No speaking, remember?

The river tail is the correct answer.

It forms a natural boundary.

[Applause]

- Marco's really good.

I wouldn't count on those tickets if I were you.

- Okay, class, here's your homework assignment for tonight.

Some of you play musical instruments very well,

But can you write down how you actually play them?

Here.

Describe for me in writing

How you play each instrument, please.

Class dismissed.

- Marco, let's go to mrs. Thimble's

For some fruit shakes.

- And what can I get you young mouselings today?

- Apple fizz b*mb, please, mrs. Thimble.

- I'll have a blueberry boat, please.

- And what about you, marco?

Come on.

Speak up. I haven't got all day.

- He's not being rude, mrs. Thimble.

He has to do everything in mime--

No speaking, just funny faces and movements.

- Oh, I see.

Well? Out with it, then.

Ooh, looks like the poor boy's got an itch.

[Both laugh]

Put your coat on, lad, if you're cold.

- Oh, a frozen fruit slushy, banana-flavored one.

- Thanks for helping us with our homework, dad.

- Happy to help.

Hmm, you draw the bow across the strings like so.

[Plays driving drum fill]

- Walloping whiskers, dad.

I didn't know you could play drums like that.

- Sorry. Couldn't resist that.

Took me back to my rock and roll years,

When I was on tour with frantic fur.

- You were in a rock band, dad?

- Oh, yeah, we played gigs all over mouseland.

I was on drums then.

- Oh, it's almost time for the radio station

To call about those tickets.

Let's go, marco.

- Angelina, marco, come and play with me.

- Not just now, polly.

Marco can't speak until : .

- Why not?

- We made a bet.

If he speaks before : , he loses.

- Oh.

I don't like it when marco doesn't speak.

I'll make him.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

- [Laughs] [phone ringing]

Sorry, marco.

Wish I could stop her,

But you know how little sisters are.

[Laughs]

- It's radio cheddar on the phone for you, marco.

You've almost won those two marcel mouseau tickets.

- Yay!

- But you have to answer the three questions first.

- Wait a minute.

It's not : yet.

Marco, if you speak, I get the tickets,

But if you don't speak, you can't answer the questions,

So neither of us get the tickets.

What are we going to do?

It looks like there's no way

Either of us can get those tickets.

- Hmm, that is a problem.

- Unless we work together.

Okay, we're ready for your first question.

Marco will mime the answers, and I'll tell you what they are.

- Okay, cool.

First question: name a musical instrument

That's played with something long and thin

Across the strings.

- The violin.

- Is...the right answer.

Second question: name a musical instrument

That's played using the pizzicato technique.

- Uh...

Oh, no. He's miming. The violin.

- Yes is the right answer.

Trick question, but it didn't fool marco.

Okay, third question.

What percussion instrument

Did maurice mouseling play

In the famous rock band frantic fur?

- The drums.

- Congratulations, marco.

And thanks to your little helper,

You have won two free tickets

To the marcel mouseau show tomorrow night.

- Yes! - You did it, marco!

- Hooray!

- And now here's a blast from the past,

The number one hit single from frantic fur, garden of edam.

Or you, mr. Mouseling.

Thank you, and can angelina come with me to the show?

- Of course, dear boy.

- It was really hard miming all day.

I still have a long way to go

Before I'll be as good as marcel mouseau.

And there's nothing more fun than learning a new dance.

But sometimes you need to remember

To do other things too...

[Bell ringing]

Like be on time for school.

- So tomorrow is lend a paw day.

It's a day where you help someone out

Who really needs it,

So I want you all to split into groups

And find someone you can help out.

Yes, angelina?

- Some of us could help mrs. Thimble at the store.

She's hurt her wrist.

- Yes, and I heard her say that she had a lot to do

In the store this weekend.

- I'll help too.

- Perfect.

Now, that's one very good lend a paw project.

Now...

- Oh, sorry I'm late, ms. Mimi.

I've been learning about disco dancing.

I love the funky b*at.

- Where did you hear about disco dancing, gracie?

- Oh, I saw it in an old movie over the weekend.

I love it.

[Pulsing disco music playing]

♪

- Ah.

It's good that you've found a new form of dance,

But you shouldn't let it get in the way

Of being on time for school.

I was just telling everyone about lend a paw day.

- Don't worry, gracie. You can join us.

We'll tell you all about it at lunchtime.

So that's the plan.

We'll meet at mrs. Thimble's store as soon as it opens.

- Mrs. Thimble is gonna be so happy.

- And maybe we can do some disco too.

- Disco music is cool.

You know it came from jazz and rock?

Oh, and latin music too.

It's got a real strong, steady b*at,

So it's easy to dance to.

- Hey, do you want to hear some groovy disco tunes?

- Cool.

- You're here!

I'm so glad you could come to help.

- I even missed my morning boogie to get here.

- Well, thank you very much for your help.

I have to count stock,

But it's hard to do since I hurt my wrist.

- Don't worry, mrs. Thimble. It's lend a paw day.

- And that's exactly what we're going to do...

All: lend a paw.

- Yes, I guess so...

Or we could go and do a quick little disco dance

And come back and work super hard

To get our jobs done really quickly.

I'm sure she'd be okay.

Oh, please?

Phew. So that part's done.

I just got a big delivery of cheese.

It all has to be counted and stored in the cheese case.

- Oh. Um, okay.

- It is a very big job,

But four mouselings can do it easily.

- Oh, dear.

I wonder what's taking gracie and marco so long.

- Maybe I should go get them.

- Good idea, vici,

And I'll start sorting the cheese.

[Playing funky disco music]

- Whoo-hoo!

Look at this move, marco.

[Music stops]

What did you stop for?

- It's okay,

But a bass guitar with this b*at would sound even better.

- There you are.

We need your help back at mrs. Thimble's store.

- Oh, no. We forgot all about the time.

- Wait a minute.

Vici, you can play bass, can't you?

- Yes, but what does that have to do with mrs. Thimble's store?

- Nothing.

It's what we need to crank up the disco rhythm:

Drums...

And bass.

- Oh, that's so groovy.

- What about lend a paw day?

If we did just one song.

Or was it seven stilton and eight edam?

Or maybe that was cheddar and gorgonzola.

Oh, I can't keep track.

I think I'd better start again.

- Another load of cheese has just arrived.

Oh, dear, you're falling a bit behind.

- Don't worry, mrs. Thimble.

I'm sure the others will be back soon.

They haven't forgotten lend a paw day.

- Hola. Marco here.

Whoa, is that violin missing a middle?

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!
