Narratorin an old house in paris

That was covered with vines...

Lived little girls in straight lines.

They left the house at half past :

In straight lines...

In rain...

Or shine.

Ahh.

Ooh.

Narratorthe smallest one was madeline.

Narratorit was the day of the grand science exhibition.

The girls hoped their project would win recognition.

Bon jour, mes petites.

Are you almost done?

Oui, miss clavel. Almost.

This is just what we need to finish our science project.

Voilä.

A helium model of the first hot-air balloon.

Magnifique.

Now we must tie it down.

Perfect.

Maybe we will win first prize.

Everyone: oui, first prize.

Do not be so sure, mateys.

Wait until the judges see the telescope I made.

Narratorit was pepito,

The boy next door.

The son of the spanish ambassador.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

This is a fine telescope, pepito.

Pepitolord cucuface, ahoy.

Narratorthe head trustee came rushing in

To see the project he hoped would win.

Huh, well,

Where is it?

Magnificent.

Ahh. Ahh.

I promised the trustees a first prize,

And today is the day.

Narratorexcitement tingled in the air.

It seemed that everyone was there.

Ooh. Ooh. Ooh.

So many projects.

So many people.

[Arf]

Oh, professor windbag is giving a speech today.

Professor who?

Windbag. Wolfgang von wi--

Aha, there he is.

Dr. Windbag is the world's greatest expert

On hot-air balloons.

Ahem.

And who is responsible for this interesting balloon?

We are, monsieur.

Indeed.

And what do you know about this?

It is a model of the very first hot-air balloon.

Which was invented in france in .

By the brothers joseph and jacques montgolfier.

It is said that joseph got the idea from his wife's petticoat"], index,…}

When he watched her drying it in front of the fire.

Joseph and his brother jacques made the first hot-air balloon

And demonstrated it for louis xvi and marie antoinette.

[Baa]

Hot air is lighter than other air,

So the balloon goes up.

That's how the montgolfiers' balloon went up.

Wunderkinder.

Sehr gut.

Did you hear that?

It means good.

Very good.

Someday you will come to see a real hot-air balloon.

I have one that is always filled and ready to take off.

Gracias.

Auf wiedersehen.

Good-bye.

I knew it.

The first prize will be ours.

But there are so many wonderful projects here.

Like that eiffel tower tea kettle.

Everyoneahh.


May we walk around the exhibition to see the other projects,"], index,…}

S'il vous plait, miss clavel?

Certainement, madeline.

I will stay here at our exhibit.

Very well, children,

But be back on time

So we do not miss the judging.

Narratorthe children walked through rows and rows

Of contraptions and gadgets.

Ooh.

Narratorand even gizmos.

[Gasps]

Ay-yi-yi!

Come.

There is much more to see.

Narratormarching up and down the aisles,

They seemed to go for miles and miles.

Mes petites,

You look tired.

We are.

[Arf arf]

Listen.

[Music playing]

Where is that coming from?

Is it over there?

Shh.

Narratoreveryone stood quiet,

As if in a trance,

Listening to the national anthem of france.

While everybody heard the tune,

Something happened to the girls' balloon.

[Music stops]

¡Caramba!

Madeline, the balloon.

Madelineoh, the balloon. Oh, no.

[Arf arf]

[Arf]

Genevieve, stop!

[Whining]

Narratorthe little girls began to grieve

For fear of losing genevieve.

Miss clavel: quelle horreur.

I know who can save genevieve.

Professor windbag.

Girlsohh.

Sí. I will help you find him.

Narratorthe professor would be hard to reach,

For he had gone home to study his speech.

Quelle bonne chance.

What good luck.

The professor lives nearby.

Narratorthey found the old professor's street.

Wasting no time, they arrived tout de suite.

This way, pepito.

Narratorthey couldn't afford to lose one minute.

They saw the balloon and jumped right in it.

Was es das?

Professor, s'il vous plait.

You must help us save genevieve.

Wo es ein genevieve?

Ein hund.

This is your doggie?

Professor, please hurry.

The one and only one windbag is on the case.

Whoa!

Do we need all these books?

Ja.

I always need my books.

Besides, fraulein, books make good ballast.

Ballast?

That's what makes the balloon heavier

So it won't go up too high or too fast.

Such a wunderkind.

I think the professor has his own ballast.

What do we do now, professor?

To get started,

First turn up the burner.

Next, release sandbags.

Das es gut, fraulein.

Just like it says in my books.

Windbagohh!

Aah!

I am worried about genevieve.

Oh,sí.

Me, too.

So am i.

Do not fear, little girls.

I am sure madeline and the professor will find her.

Besides, we have something to worry about right here.

Girlthe judges. Oh, no.

What should we do?

Fear.

If they come to our exhibit now,

They will see nothing.

And we will not win the prize.

If madeline were here,

She would know what to do.

I have an idea.

Narrator: way up in the air,

The balloon took a dip.


What a rough and bumpy trip.

Madelinewhoa.

Narrator: it bobbed, it weaved,

And a big careen,

And professor windbag was turning green.

It was not a pretty scene.

Psst, simone,

Do you think it will work?

It has to.

We must keep the judges busy

Until madeline gets back with the balloon.

Ahem.

Ladies, gentlemen, and puppies.

I present the famous

Mademoiselle danielle du la dump.

Ahem. Uh, merci, mes amis.

Today you will see my amazing new invention.

First, we need a volunteer from the audience.

There, in the front row.

Not you, madam.

Your poodle.

My invention

Is brosse ä dents de chein.

A doggie toothbrush.

It comes in delicious flavors:

Lamb,

Liver,

And steak tartare.

Crowdohh.

[Arf arf]

Narratorthe dogs thought there was nothing nicer

Than to have a squeaky clean incisor.

Narrator: the plan had worked.

They had more time,

But where, oh, where was madeline?

Hmm.

Where is genevieve?

[Arf arf arf]

There, there.

According to my compass,

The wind is taking us southeast.

Doggie ahoy!

Look out below!

Genevieve! [Arf arf]

Let us get her, professor.

Ohh.


Ohh.

Ugh.

This is not good.

The rope!

[Arf arf arf]

Poquito más.

A little more.

[Arf arf]

That is it.

She's got it!

Hooray!

Pull the tow rope slowly upwards.

Genevieve.

Oops.

[Arf arf]

[Arf arf]

We have lost her.

Do not fear, fraulein.

We will find your genevieve.

You see her, pepito?

Sí, madeline, but she is far away.

Soon she will be out of sight.

Any sign of her, pepito?

No, madeline, not yet.

Narratorthey sailed for miles out of the city,

Where the countryside was pretty.

Mire, professor.

Such a view takes your breath away,

Does it not, señor?

[Gasps]

Ja, ja.

Madeline, look.

Is it not lindisimo?

So beautiful.

Nothing is beautiful

Without genevieve.

[Audience applauds]

Oh, danielle, I am so worried.

They should be back by now.

And we are almost out of liver.

Fraulein, I am so sorry about your friend.

It is not your fault, professor.

But--but it is.

It is all my fault.

I am nothing but a silly old man

Full of hot air.

But you are not a silly old man.

You are the world's most famous hot-air balloon expert.

I am only an expert in my books.

I have never even been up in a real balloon before today

Because i...

I am afraid of heights.

Professor, everyone is afraid sometime.

It is all right.

Narratoras a cold wind started kicking up,

Pepito finally spied their pup.

Genevieve!

[Arf arf]

Narratoralas, madeline's smile turned to a frown,

For genevieve was going down.

Ay-yi-yi!

She is going to hit that sharp rock.

Genevieve!

It is now or never.

Auf wiedersehen.

Farewell, my friends.

[Gasps]

Narratoralthough his fear was very great,

The professor knew they could not wait.

He jumped,

And he was not too late.

[Quack]

[Coughing]

[Arf]

[Quack]

Uh-oh.

The cold air is cooling the hot air,

And we are almost out of fuel.

Whoa!

Fraulein, pepito, are you well?

[Arf arf]

Sí.

Oui.

We are fine.

[Arf arf]

Professor, you saved genevieve.

Merci, thank you.

Ja.

And you saved me from my fear of heights,

But I am afraid your science project is kaput.

It does not matter,

As long as we have genevieve.

[Arf arf]

Ja.

Professor, if we hurry,

We could get back to the exhibition

In time for your speech.

But how?

We are out of fuel.

Hay.


Sí, hey, we are out of fuel.

No, silly, hay.

We can use the hay for our fuel.

Just like the montgolfiers did.

Such a wunderkind.

All I need are my matches.

Uh-oh.

They are wet.

Now we are sunk, too.

Oh, yeah.

Narratoras the sun moved out from behind a cloud...

I have got it.

Narratormadeline shouted out loud.

Your eyeglass will start the fire.

Ach so, that is correct.

You have got such a smart noodle.

[Arf arf]

Madelinemmm.

Ahh.

Narratorhot air rose up into the vent,

And before you knew it,

Up they went.

They should have been here by now.

Oui. I am troubled, too, mes petites.

Speaking of trouble, here it comes.

Ladies and gentlemen of science,

You have seen the rest,

But now you will see the best.

My word!

Where is the balloon?

Well, madame et monsieur,

It is, um,

Windbagbelow!

Below!

[Crowd gasps]

It is madeline and genevieve.

Hooray!

Narratorthe balloon came slowly, gently down

And landed safe

And very sound.

Such precise timing.

The professor is right on time for his speech.

Fantastique.

Perfect navigation.

Professor windbag,

You are a genius.

Danke schon, thank you, but I'm afraid

I cannot accept the credit.

Narratorthe professor went on to say he was just a spectator."], Index,…}

In fact, madeline was the pilot,

And pepito navigator.

He told how the balloon went higher

Because madeline knew how to start a fire.

Merci beaucoup.

Narratorand so, to the joy of lord cucuface,

His school and girls had won first place.

Narratorand pepito could not believe his eyes

When he was awarded second prize.

Later that night they broke their bread.

We love our bread.

We love our butter.

But most of all, we love each other.

Narratorand brushed their teeth...

And went to bed.

Bon oui, little girls.

I hope you sleep well.

Everyone: bon oui, miss clavel.

Narratormiss clavel took a last look

And closed the door,

And that's all there is.

There isn't any more.
