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

[Bird caws]

Huh!

Oh!

Lived 12 little girls
in 2 straight lines.

Whoa!

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

Allons-y,
little girls. Hurry.

In two straight lines...

In rain...

Or shine.

This is
so much fun!

[Oo oo oo oo]

[Oo oo aa aa aa]

Ha ha ha ha!

The smallest one
was madeline.

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!

She was not afraid of mice.

[Eek eek eek]

She loved winter, snow,
and ice.

One fine morning,
without a peep,

From the bedroom
the girls did creep.

[Whispering]
silence!

Silence.

Silence.

On madeline's birthday,
they let her sleep.

[Together]
we love our bread,

We love
our butter,

But most of all,

We love each other.

Shh!

Ecoutez, little girls.

We are giving our madeline
a surprise party

At 3:00.

Hooray!a birthday party!
Hooray!
A birthday party!

Huh!
Huh!

Shh!
Shh!

Everyone would be there,
even the mouse.

But they had to
get madeline
out of the house.

But how?

I know!
We will send her up
in a big balloon.

No, no.

We will play
hide-and-seek

And never find her.

No, no.

We will send her

On a very, very
long taxi ride.

[Several girls]
no, no!

They thought
and thought a little more...

Hmm...hmm...

Till they heard a knock
upon the door...

[Knock knock]

And in walked pepito
and the ambassador.

Buenos dias,
miss clavel.

Buenos dias.

For madeline's birthday,

My father and I would like
to take everyone to the zoo!

Hooray! The zoo!

The little girls
cannot go, pepito,

But if you like,
you may take madeline.

Now, the girls
knew what to do

While madeline
was at the zoo.

That is
a wonderful idea!

What is a wonderful idea?

Oh, nothing.

Nothing,
madeline.

Happy birthday,
madeline!

Si.
Happy birthday.

Merci! I hope
this is a birthday

I will never forget.

Will I have a party?

Je regrette.

I am sorry, madeline,
but that is impossible.

But it is for
a very good reason.

Oui!

It is because...
Uh...

Because, uh...

[Telephone rings]

Excusez-moi.

That could be
the reason now.

[Ring]

Allo?

Oui, monsieur.

Tres bien.

Au revoir.

Mes enfants,
it is because

Lord cucuface
is coming.

Everyone
must stay home
and clean the house.

That is all right.

[Sigh]

I will have another
birthday next year.

Do not be silly,
madeline.

You will have
a special day
at the zoo.

Pepito
and his father
will take you.

Really?

[Miss clavel]
really.

Hooray!
I love the zoo!

Huh!

When pepito gave madeline
a box that was tall,

Inside it,
she found a new parasol.

It is my favorite color--

Yellow.

Oh, pepito
was a thoughtful fellow.

[Kiss]

[Girls giggle]

Have a good time.

And you must be home
by 5 to 3:00.

That is when
lord cucuface is arriving.

I will, miss clavel.
I promise.

[Girls]
au revoir!

[Giggling]

Without much fuss
or much ado,

The ambassador led them
to the zoo.

I will wait here--

I have mucho trabajo,
a lot of work--

While you are
visiting the zoo.

Remember
to be back by 4:00.

...said
the spanish ambassador.

Madeline said...

That cannot be.

We must be home
by 5 to 3:00.

You are right.
I forgot. Si, si.

So pepito and madeline
strolled all around,

Seeing lions...

And penguins...

Then birds,
green and brown.

Regardez!


♪ ♪


Bonjour, madeline.

Bonjour,
monsieur gerard.

Bonjour, coco.

[Oo oo ee ee]

Guess what.
Today is my birthday.

Then we will do
something special.

Then the organ grinder's
monkey had a chance

To delight madeline
with a birthday dance.

Ha ha!
Good-bye.

Good-bye.

A tiger growled
with much ado...

[Grrr]

But madeline
just said...

Pooh, pooh.

[Oo oo aa aa aa]

The monkeys chattered...

Ha ha ha!

Rrargh!

And the littlest one
climbed up a tree.

Bonjour.
Bonjour.

Bonjour!

Monsieur zookeeper,
guess what.

Today is
my birthday!

Ah! Tres bien,
ma petite.

Happy birthday.

[Oo oo aa aa]

Then the monkey
slipped out,

And that is not all.

Oh, no!

You bad,
bad monkey!

The rascal grabbed
madeline's new parasol.

[Oo oo aa aa aa]

[Together]
come back, you naughty monkey!

Come back!

[Oo aa aa aa oo oo]

They chased
that bad monkey

All over the zoo,

Past zebras...

And bears...

And a tan kangaroo.

Maybe we should ask
the zookeeper to help us.

[Madeline]
but he is eating lunch.

Besides, it is my fault
the monkey got out.

It was because I said
it was my birthday.

[Aa aa! Oo oo oo aa]

They chased him
past elephant...

Hippo...

And swan.

But before they could
catch him,

The monkey was gone.

When it seemed that
the monkey would
escape them forever,

Madeline knew
it was time to be clever.

Come, pepito.
We will outwit
the monkey.

But how?

Merci, monsieur
balloon man.

Madeline then bought
a bright red balloon,

Hoping the monkey
would want it--and soon.

[Monkey chattering]

[Oo oo!]

[Chattering]

Huh?â â â â â â â â â â â â huh?

But much
to madeline's dismay,

There was nothing
she could do or say

As the monkey grabbed
the balloon and ran away.

Merci, pepito.

Where did
the monkey go?

Ha ha ha!

Then the monkey set
all of the animals free.

[Roar]

[Oo oo ah ah]

[Nnnrrrrrr!]

This is my fault.

It is all
because of me.

And she had to be home
by 5 minutes to 3:00.

Pepito, we must get
all the animals back

Before the zookeeper
finds out.

Oh, what shall we do?

Huh!

It is already
a quarter past 2:00!

This is the worst birthday
of my whole life.

In the old house,

The little girls
took great care

Getting everything ready
before madeline got there.

Huh! Ooh, la la!
It is already 10 to 3:00!

Huh! Oh!

Hurry, ma petite.

Hurry, everyone.

Madeline will be
here in five minutes.

[Caw caw]

[Caw caw caw]

[Grrr]

Madeline and pepito
started to worry.

They had to alert
miss clavel in a hurry.

Madeline, we will
never make it back
in five minutes.

Oh, pepito,
you are right.

What can we do?

Regardez!

My father!

[Snoring]

Zut alors!


♪ ♪


What?

Huh!

That is it.
This monkey will help us.

So madeline wrote
to miss clavel

And said not to worry,
that all was well.

[Oo oo ah]

[Aownk?]

[Oo oo ee ee ee]

[Snoring]

[Awk awk]

At the old house,
miss clavel
looked up to see

That it was already
a quarter past 3:00.

Where, oh, where,
could our madeline be?

[Door opens]

Ah! That must
be madeline now.

Go hide!

And when I open the door,

Everyone jump up
and yell, "surprise!"

[Together]
oui, miss clavel.

[Eek]

Shh!

Ha ha!
Hee hee hee!

Shh!

Then the monkey arrived...

Surprise!
Surprise!
Surprise!

[Oo aa!]

With a note to be read.

Huh?
Huh?

Miss clavel
grabbed it quickly

And found that it said...

"I am very busy
at the zoo right now.

I will try to be
home soon."

Ohh!

Very busy
at the zoo?

What could that mean?

We will find out.
But I am sure
it is nothing.

Back at the zoo,
things weren't improving,

And madeline and pepito
had to get moving.

[Slurp]

Ah?

Uhh!
Aah!

[Madeline]
I do not think
this is working.

Huh!
Huh!

Me neither.

I know! We will
give the animals
a good reason

To go back
in their cages.

An elephant's favorite thing
is a peanut.

[Madeline]
voila!

And gorillas
love bananas.

Aah!

[Bell chimes]

[Birds screeching]

So they found what made
each of the animals smile.

[Gulp]

Fresh leaves
are a tasty snack
for rhinos.

And they got them all back
in a very short while.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Regardez!

And some gooey candy
will make this monkey
very happy.

[Chomp chomp]

[Monkeys chattering]

As they closed
the last door

And locked the last lock,

They heard a bell chime.

It was now 5:00!

Oh, pepito,
I am sure miss clavel

Is wondering
where we are.

I do not think so.

[Girls giggling]

Surprise!
Surprise!
Surprise!

But all madeline could do
was stare.

It was a real party,
with all her friends there.

[Together]
happy birthday, madeline!

Now make a wish,
madeline.

I wish I could have
a birthday like this

Every year!

[Whoosh]

Ha ha ha!

She blew out the candles,
and everyone cheered.

Hooray!
Hooray!
Hooray!

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha!

Now her wish
will be granted.

...poor miss clavel feared.
