In an old house in paris
that was covered
with vines...

Lived 12 little girls
in 2 straight lines.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

They left the house
at half past 9:00...

In 2 straight lines...

In rain...

Or shine.

The smallest one
was madeline.

What is
this special surprise

You are taking us to,
ma petite?

If I tell you,
it will not be
a surprise. Ha ha.

Quickly!

Madeline danced and skipped
with mischievous glee,

Then called
to the others...

Come. Follow me.

The little girls
just had to scurry,

For madeline
was in such a hurry.

[Laughter]

We must not be late,
but do not worry,
mes amies.

I know a shortcut.

Down the sidewalk they ran
with lightning-quick feet.

They looked like a blur as
they dashed down the street.

Then they entered the shop
where chef pierre bakes

Sweet pastries and cookies
and fresh chocolate cakes.

Ha ha ha!

Zut alors!

[Thud]

Ooh...
Ooh...â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â ooh...

Ahh...â â â â â â â â â â ahh...

Mmm!
Mmm!â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â mmm!

Oh, madeline,
this is a surprise!

A visit to
the bakery!

No, no, no.

My surprise
is this way.
Come quickly.

Mmm!

[Slurp]

See?

Voilã„!

The cinema?

[Madeline]
yes!

They are showing today
the new sugar dimples
movie.

Sugar dimples!
Our favorite actress!

What a surprise!

Oh, laddie!

We must find grandpapa
before the snow comes!

[Ruff]

They sat in the darkness,
eyes glued to the screen,

Sobbing and weeping
at every sad scene

And munching on bonbons,
so good, in between.

Boohoo!

Boohoo!

Oh ho ho!

[Sniff sniff]

[Gulp]

Grandpapa! You're safe!

Now we can go home
and live happily ever after!

[Applause]

[Ruff ruff]

That was sugar dimples'
best picture of all.

Oui, oui!
We agree!

[Ruff ruff]

At the very same time
on the champs elysees,

Two men sipped their coffee
at an outdoor cafe.

One was a famous
movie director.

The other, his assistant,
was known as hector.

Uh, what brings you
to paris, monsieur fleming?

My next
sugar dimples movie
is all about france.

Yes. We're here
looking for new talent.

Talent?

Hmm...

Regardez-moi!

Not far away, in fact,
right next door,

The little girls played
round the big sycamore.

Sugar dimples is
my favorite star

In the whole wide world!

I have seen every one
of her pictures.

My favorite movie was when
she played the ballerina.

Bravo, chloe!
Bravo, chloe!

Bravo, genevieve!
Bravo, genevieve!

I liked the movie
when she played
the brave princess.

Oh, yes.
That one I liked also.

Remember?

She was all alone.

She had to escape from
the evil black knight.

Madeline ran,
and she pranced all about.

She knew the whole part,

And she acted it out.

[Gasps]

[Madeline]
then she jumped right above

A large crocodile's snout.

Madeline's jumps
were simply amazing,

And the part
that she played

Was truly hair-raising.

Whoa!

Oh! Pardonnez-moi,
monsieur.

I apologize.

I want
that girl's name.

But there is
no damage done.

I assure you,
she is very sorry.

Oui,
miss clavel.

Young lady,
this is your
lucky day.

I do not understand.

You're just what
I've been searching
for all over paris

To be in my next
sugar dimples movie.

Me? You want me to be
in the cinema?

Yes.

Ahem!

Only if you approve,
of course.

Hmm.

Would she say yes...

Or would she say no?

Well, uh...only if we
can all go.

Yay!â â â â â â â â â â â â yay!

Yay!

They cheered
and they clapped
and hip-hip-hoorayed

When they got to the place
where the movies were made.

Ooh...

Regardez!

So many movie stars!

Ahh...

He is so handsome!

Mais oui.

But where's
my favorite
movie star of all...

Sugar dimples?

[Girl]
I won't wear
this dreadful dress!

These icky shoes
hurt my feet!

I wonder who that can be?

Watch where
you're going!

Excusez-moi.

How dare you talk
to me like that!

I am
sugar dimples!

You are sugar dimples?

That was sugar dimples?

The girls were so shocked
at what they had seen.

She wasn't at all like
the girl on the screen.

In fact, sugar dimples
was really quite mean.

You mustn't
take it personally.

Sugar dimples
treats everybody
that way.

Maybe she is just
a little tired.

No. She's just
a little brat.

[Giggling]

This is where
you get your costume.

Oh, and here's the script.
Your lines are circled in red.

Ooh! Ahh!

In a room that was packed
from ceiling to floor,

There were gowns, wigs,
kimonos, and tutus galore.

Which part
will you be playing?

I do not know.

My part
is circled in red.

Oh! Such
a wonderful role!

You're going to be
sugar dimples'
best friend.

It's a big part.

Ooh!

Magnifique!

Maybe I will
become a star,
just like sugar dimples.

It will be difficult
to make believe that
you are her friend.

Au contraire.

I will not have to act
like her friend.

I will really
be her friend.

A movie studio
is a magical place.

There's action, adventure,
and even a chase.

[g*nshots]

Gracious!
Everywhere we turn,

There is something
exciting to see.

[Gasps]

My eyes.

They are
playing tricks.

Madeline wondered,
could this be?

[Madeline]
it looks just like
our own paris.

Ha ha! Imagine!

We have come all the way
to america

To be back home
in france.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

C'est la!
Superbe!

Magnifique!

Ohh!

[Hammering]

Ooh la la!

Trã©s bien!

Ooh la la!

Ohh!

Everybody get ready
to film the first scene.

Being a star
is such a strain.

If my silly fans only knew
how hard I work.

It is going to be
so much fun to play
your best friend.

I know you!

You're the clumsy girl
who bumped into me!

You think you're playing
my friend? Hah!

That is what it says
in my script.

They gave you
the wrong script.

You're playing
my french maid.

Your maid?

It's a very...small part.

See? Just two words.

I will do my best.

But I can still be
your friend.

You?

My friend?

Ha ha ha ha ha!

The time was approaching
for madeline's big--uh--
small scene.

You must bow,
say, "oui, madame,"

And dust, mop, and clean.

I hope I get it right.

I am so nervous.

We know
you can do it.

We have faith
in you.

That does make
a difference...
To have friends.

A curl here,
a curl there.

Brush, brush, brush.

[Giggling]

Such
a pretty outfit.

You're beautiful.

A pat here,
a pat there.

Voilã„!

How lovely!
Yes, perfect!

Merci beaucoup.

Now I am ready
for my scene.

Lights! Camera!

Everybody clear the set!

Slate! Action!

What a lovely day!
It fills my heart
with joy!

Marie.

Oui, madame?

I'm off to invite
all the poor children

To have holiday dinner
with me.

Oui, madame.

[Gasps]

[Director]
cut!

Look what you
made me do,

You...
You little amateur!

But i--

Uh, no problem.

We'll replace the vase
and sh**t the scene again.

It was
all her fault!

I don't want her
in my movie.

Fire her!

Fire me?

This is not fair.

[Murmuring]

Madeline was sad,
and she was blue,

But there wasn't a thing
that she could do.

Do not feel bad,
madeline.

And to think
I thought she was
so wonderful.

I never really liked
her movies anyway.

[All]
me neither.

[Ruff]

Ppplll!

I am here to return
my movie costume.

Good-bye, costume.

Au revoir.

Madeline! Surprise!

What are you doing?

You seemed so sad.

We want to see
our madeline
smile again.

How can I not smile
when I have such
silly friends? Ha ha!

We have a costume
for you to wear.

Walk this way,
madeline.

We begin with
two big shiny shoes

And a colorful
costume.

[Girls]
ha ha ha!

And a ruffle
and a wig,

And to top it off...
A chapeau!

Ha ha ha!
Ohh! I am a clown!

You must have
a big red nose.

And the smile
of a clown.

[Girls]
ha ha ha!

Yay!

What a funny,
funny clown
I see.

It is i,
miss clavel...
Madeline!

So it is. You certainly
fooled me, ma petite.

That was fun.
I feel better now.

Dear me!
It is time to leave.

You must wash off
the clown face,
tout de suite.

I will go to
the make-up room
and wash it off there.

[Sobbing]

Who is that?

Madeline entered
and followed the sound.

And to her surprise...

Look who she found.

[Sobbing]

[Madeline]
she looks so sad.

I must do something
to cheer her up.

Is...is somebody there?

A clown?

Oh, ah, yes.
Ahem.

I am a clown.

So madeline clowned
and danced and wiggled,

Till very soon
sugar broke out
in a giggle.

Ha ha ha!
You sure are
a funny clown.

I am happy
I made you laugh.

But why were you crying?

I have millions of fans,
but I don't have
one real friend.

That french girl
has 11 friends.

If you wish
to have a friend,

You must be a friend.

It's not that easy.

But it is!
You should try it.

You mean,
just walk up to someone

And say, "I want to be
your friend"?

Yes. It is
as simple as that.

Just hold out your hand
and don't forget to smile.

[Door opens]
huh?

There you are!

They're waiting
for you on the set.

I'm coming. I was
just talking to--

The clown...

Is gone.

[Miss clavel]
hurry, madeline.

We are ready
to leave.

Do we really have to?

I am afraid so.

The big shiny limo
came to take them away,

Even though madeline
wanted to stay.

I am sorry, madeline,
that it did not turn out
as you had hoped.

Everything would
have been perfect

If sugar dimples
was not such a brat.

Oh, I think maybe
she is not so bad.

[Engine rattling]

[Children]
what is that?
Something is wrong!

Uh-oh.
Engine trouble.

[Miss clavel]
what seems to be
the matter,

Monsieur hector?

Nothing serious, but it'll
take a while to fix.

Must we just sit
and wait?

With nothing
to do?

[Ruff]

[Girls]
ha ha ha!

I think genevieve
has found a solution.

We can play
dodge ball.

Let's play ball!

Let's play ball!

You're it!

As the girls
ran and jumped,
having fun in their play,

Our famous child actress
headed their way.

Oh!

Pardonnez-moi,
sugar dimples.

It was an accident.

Oh, I'm not angry.

Actually, I'm glad
you're still here.

I'm...sorry
for the way
I treated you.

Could we...
Maybe...

Be friends?

Yes! That would make us
very happy.

Will you...let me
play with you?

Of course.

For once in her life,
sugar dimples felt free

To run, skip, and jump,
even climb up a tree.

Ha ha ha!

Bonne, madeline!

You are a very brave
little girl.

Thank you,
monsieur director.

And I think
I know a way

We can use your
athletic ability
in the film.

How is that?

I would like
you to be

Sugar dimples'
stunt double.

We can
work together!

Magnifique!

[Meowing]

[Director]
cut.

Bring in
the stunt double.

There you go.
You look just like sugar.

Good luck, madeline.

Merci.

Places, everybody!

Camera!

And...action!

Many months later,
in fact, almost a year,

It was the time for
the parisian premiere.

Yay!
Yay!

In 2 straight lines,
they left the scene,

No longer 12,
but now 13.

And tomorrow,
I will take you to visit
the real eiffel tower.

This is the most
wonderful vacation
I ever had...

With all
my new friends.

They entered the old house

With a new friend
they adore.

And that's all there is.

There isn't any more.
