In an old house in paris

That was covered
with vines...

[Arf]

Allons-y,
genevieve.

Lived 12 little girls

In two straight lines.

Whee!
Whee!

Oh!

[Church bell ringing]

[Ringing]

They left the house
at half past 9:00

In two straight lines...

In rain...

Or shine.

[Arrr]

Ha ha ha!

The smallest one
was madeline.

[Sobbing]

Wherever the girls went,
their dog went, too.

[Awoo]

[Sobbing]

There was nothing
genevieve could not do.

[Laughing]

[Arf]

Everybody loved her well,

All the girls
and miss clavel.

Madeline, I believe
that genevieve

Is the smartest dog
in all of paris.

Excusez-moi,
miss clavel,

But that is not correct.

No?

No. Genevieve's
the smartest dog

In all the world.

[Arrrr]

Oui, madeline.
That is correct.

As genevieve walked
from door to door,

Her many friends
would say, "bonjour."

[Ruff ruff]

[Rrrr]

[Arf]

One day,
genevieve began to bark

When she saw a poster
near the park.

[Arf arf]

A contest would
be held to see

Which dog was the finest
in paris.

A competition to
find the finest dog
in all of paris?

Genevieve,
that is you.

Without a doubt.
Why, look.

Her coat
is so shiny.

[Rrrr]

And so
is her nose.

Her manners
are perfect.

Mais, oui.
It's true.

The finest dog
in paris--

I mean, in
all the world--
is genevieve.

[Arf arf]

In the 12 little girls'
adoring eyes,

Their dog had already
won first prize.

What other dog
can juggle...

Multiply...

And sing...

[Arroooh]

All at once?

Yay, genevieve!
Bravo!

So the girls groomed
genevieve from head...

To toe...

To make sure she would
win the best in show.

You are
the best-smelling
dog in paris,

N'est-ce pas?

And the
bravest, too.

For they recalled
genevieve the brave,

Who had saved madeline
from a watery grave.

But when the time
to leave drew near...

Miss clavel cried,
"oh, dear, oh, dear.

What an awful mess
you girls have made here."

Pardonnez-moi,
miss clavel.

I know we have
made a mess,

But it was
worth it.

Look at
our genevieve!

Is she not
the perfect dog?

[Rrr]

Oui, oui, madeline.

Genevieve
is the perfect dog.

[Arf]

Now, let us
make the room

As clean
as this doggy.

In the blink of an eye,
the old house was neat.

And the girls all headed
up the street.





Ha ha ha!

Dogs of every shape
and size

Came to try
for the famous prize.

But madeline
did not worry a bit.

Her dog would win.
She was sure of it.

May I help you,
little girl?

My friends and I want
to enter genevieve

In the competition,
s'il vous plait.

Very well.
Here is your
entry number.

No, no.
This will not do.

Just when genevieve
was about to enter,

A man stepped forward
front and center.

This dog
cannot compete.

No. No. No.

What is the reason
for this?

This dog cannot
compete because
she has no pedigree.

A mixed breed
of highly
uncertain heritage.

She is not
good enough
for this show.

No. No,
and again, no.

That is true.
She has no pedigree,

But we will
go get one.

Come, let's go to
the pedigree shop.

Impossible, madeline.

A pedigree shows
that a dog's parents

Are both the same breed.

And genevieve
is a mixture.

The dog could not enter
with no pedigree,

But madeline
and her friends
did not agree.

We do not need a pedigree

To know that genevieve
is the best dog in the world.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

We love you,
genevieve.

Certainement.

Now all of paris
will never know

What a wonderful
dog you are.

[Arrrroooh]

The girls were feeling
sad and blue

Till madeline said...

This won't do.

We know that genevieve
is the best doggy,

And now we must
show the others.

Allons-y!

[Ruff ruff]

Because madeline
showed so much emotion,

She ended up causing
quite a commotion.

[Arf]

What do you mean
genevieve cannot enter?

She is magnifique.
She is sympathique.

She is
pathetique.

No, no, madame.
You are wrong.

My genevieve
is a wonderful friend.

She is faithful
and true.

She even
saved my life,

And she deserves
the chance

To prove to the world

That she is
the perfect dog.

Ooh!

I do not care
what you say.

She is still a mutt,

And she
does not belong
in this show.

There is only one person
who can decide.

We will ask the judge
for his opinion.

The judge then held
a consultation,

Checking every regulation.

No cats,
no bunnies,

No gray
squirrels,

No grownups,
no boys,

And, ah, oui!

No girls.

[Whispering]

After lengthy discussion,
the judge concluded

That mixed breeds
like genevieve

Could be included.

Hooray!
Hooray!

So genevieve took
her rightful position

In the all-paris dog show
competition.

[Tweet]

As hunters, the dogs
looked most attractive.

Perfect hunting form.

Ah, bon.
A bone hunter.

But genevieve
was much less active.

Aren't you
going to point?

Fantastique!
A perfect retriever!

Yay!â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â yay!
Bravo!

Congratulations,
mon amie.

[Growling]

Heel.

In obedience,
all the dogs did well.

Oh!
[Gasps]

[Arf]

[Ruff ruff ruff]

But only genevieve
did excel.

Yay!
Yay!
Bravo, genevieve!

Magnifique!

Poodle. Bon.

Afghan hound.
Trãˆs bien.

Bulldog.

Trãˆs bien.

Goodness!
Those other dogs
are doing very well!

Oui, miss clavel,

But don't worry.

They cannot
hold a candle

To our genevieve.

In appearance,
no one could quite compare

With genevieve
and her amazing hair.

And what breed
shall I put down?

She had a talent
very rare.

Aha! A poodle!

Oh, uh,
an afghan.

No. A bulldog.

[Growls]

It pays to be
a mixed breed,

Doesn't it,
ma petite chien?

Incredible!

[Ruff]

And when the time came
to retrieve,

No one did better
than genevieve.

Extraordinaire!


Even in the hardest test...

Hooray!
Yay!

Genevieve was proclaimed
the best.


Her competitors
were not impressed.

[Growling and grumbling]

But no one
was surprised to know

That genevieve won
best of show.

Bravo, genevieve.
Trãˆs bien.

And then a shout
came from below...

No! No! No!
It cannot be so.

Saying genevieve
had not won best of show.

No?â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â no?
No?

No?

No?

No.

And why is this so?

Because,
mesdames et messieurs,

This so-called
champion--

This mutt--

[Awoo]

This genevieve
has got a flea.

A flea?

The presence of a tiny flea

Made everyone
act crazily.

A flea?
A flea?

[Whining]

[Whining]

Genevieve, I know
you do not have a flea.

Though genevieve
was calm and quiet...

Perhaps she got it...

From one of them.

The rest of the show
was thrown into a riot.

Quelle horreur!
These fleas
are everywhere!

Ooh!

[Yelling]

The fleas
are disgusting!

The crowd went wild
with yells and screams...

[Barking]

Worse than miss clavel's
most awful dreams.

[Barking]

[Arf arf arf]

It was hard to believe
that a tiny flea

Could cause
so much anxiety.

Oh, my.

Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.

Oh, no.

[Rrrrr]

[Screaming]

[Meow]

Nimo!
My little nimo!

Chã¤re fufu! Help!

[Tweet]

Those well-bred doggies
could not swim,

And that's when genevieve
dived right in.

Genevieve!

Be careful,
genevieve.

Be careful,
girls.

Large dogs...

And small...

She saved them all.

Ooh!â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â ahh!

That's our dog!
That's our dog!

My genevieve.

Genevieve,
with a score of 300%,

I pronounce you
best of show!

[Cheering]

As genevieve
received the prize,

The audience
all had teary eyes.

Vive genevieve!

Hooray!

[Barking]

And then the mayor
did arrive.

Although
she had no pedigree,

Genevieve won the key
to paris.

She had saved
the mayor's dog, you see.

Applause continued
strong and loud.

Genevieve was very proud.

I always knew

You were
the perfect dog,
genevieve.

The whole city
seemed to celebrate

The victory
of a dog so great.

The girls could not wait
to spread the good news...

[Gasps]

But first,

They had to
clean their shoes.

[Laughing]

Save me, genevieve!
Save me!

[Ruff ruff]

I crown you queen
of the royal bath.

[Ruff ruff]

The rest of the evening
was strictly fun...

We love our bread,
we love our butter,

But most of all,

We love each other.

With special treats
for everyone.

Oh!
Oh!

Ooh, and we also love
le gateau au chocolat.

[Ruff]

At bedtime, teeth
were brushed just right.

Then everybody said
good night.

Good night, little girls.
I hope you sleep well.

Good night, good night,
dear miss clavel.

And miss clavel
turned off the light.

[Together]
good night, genevieve.

[Rrrr]

Come on, genevieve.

A heroine like you
deserves a soft bed.

[Yelp]

Madeline felt
it was only right

To switch beds
with genevieve,

Just for one night.

After all, she is
the perfect dog.

So madeline slept soundly

On the floor,

And that's all there is.

There isn't any more.

♪ It's time to go,
au revoir ♪

♪ But you may shout
encore! ♪

♪ That's all there is ♪

♪ There isn't ♪

♪ Any more ♪
