Angelina: I'M ANGELINA BALLERINA.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME,

BECAUSE I HAVE REALLY, TRULY EXCITING NEWS.

MOM, POLLY,

I'M GOING TO BE THE PRIMA BALLERINA

IN THE SCHOOL BALLET!

ANGELINA, THAT'S WONDERFUL!

WHAT'S A PEEMA BALLERIMA?

PRIMA BALLERINA.

IT'S THE PRINCIPAL DANCER,

THE ONE WHO GETS TO DANCE THE MOST.

I'LL PROBABLY HAVE A VERY BIG SOLO, MAYBE TWO.

AND AT THE END, WHEN I TAKE MY BOW,

I'LL GET THE LOUDEST APPLAUSE.

( Applause )

Audience: ANGELINA! ANGELINA!

ANGELINA!

ANGELINA!

ARE YOU GOING TO BE A PRINCESS?

A FAIRY PRINCESS.

( Sighs )

ACTUALLY, A FAIRY WHO BECOMES A PRINCESS,

BECAUSE I'M THE BEST DANCER IN THE MAGIC FOREST.

MAGIC FOREST?

FAIRY PRINCESS?

CAN I BE A PEEMA BALLERIMA TOO?

SORRY, POLLY.

ONLY ONE DANCER GETS TO BE THE PRIMA BALLERINA.

BUT MAYBE WHEN YOU'RE BIG LIKE ME,

YOU CAN BE IN THE CORPS DE BALLET.

CORPS DE...HUH?

( Laughs )

CORPS DE BALLET.

THAT'S WHAT WE CALL THE DANCERS WHO DANCE TOGETHER IN A GROUP.

( Sighs )

SO MANY NEW WORDS.

THAT'S BECAUSE THERE ARE

SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF DANCERS.

* HERE WE ARE

* READY FOR THE SHOW,

* BALLERINAS RUNNING TO AND FRO. *

* BEFORE THE BIG BALLET,

* 100 THINGS TO DO AND SAY,

* EVERYONE COUNTS DOWN TO GO.

* IN BALLET, WE LOVE TO WORK TOGETHER. *

* FRIENDS WILL HELP TO MAKE THE SHOW MUCH BETTER. *

* WE'RE FEELING FABULOUS.

* ALL THE FAMILY'S THERE FOR US. *

* SO MUCH FUN TO SHARE.

* IT TAKES A LOT OF DANCERS

* TO DANCE IN A BALLET

* AND EVERYBODY

* HAS A PART TO PLAY.

* IT TAKES A LOT OF DANCERS

* TO DANCE IN A BALLET.

* LET'S WATCH THEM DANCE

* AND SHOUT "HOORAY!"

* TO EACH AND EVERY DANCER

* ON THE STAGE.

WOW!

ARE YOUR FRIENDS PEEMA BALLERIMAS TOO?

I'M THE ONLY PRIMA BALLERINA,

BUT GRACIE HAS A SOLO, AND ALICE DANCES WITH A PARTNER.

HOW ABOUT VIKI?

VIKI'S NOT GOING TO DANCE

BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO PAINT THE SCENERY.

LIKE PAINTING PICTURES?

MM-HMM.

REALLY BIG PICTURES.

OH, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO.

Ms. Mimi: ALL RIGHT, CLASS,

HOW ABOUT I TELL YOU A STORY?

IT'S CALLED ONCE UPON A PILLOW.

All: OH, WONDERFUL, MS. MIMI! YAY!

THE BALLET WE'RE GOING TO PUT ON

IS THE STORY OF A FAIRY NAMED FERN,

WHO IS THE BEST DANCER IN THE ENTIRE MAGIC FOREST.

( Giggles )

FERN'S DANCING CAPTURES THE ATTENTION OF THE ELF PRINCE.

AND HE BRINGS HER MANY GIFTS.

( Gasps )

( Laughter )

UNFORTUNATELY, ANOTHER FAIRY BECOMES JEALOUS.

MOI?

JEALOUS?

SHE'S MAD BECAUSE SHE WANTS ATTENTION TOO,

SO SHE GIVES FERN HER OWN GIFT,

AN ENCHANTED PILLOW.

AND AS SOON AS FERN RESTS HER HEAD ON IT,

SHE FALLS INTO A DEEP, ENDLESS SLEEP,

NEVER TO DANCE AGAIN.

( Gasps )

DID YOU SAY, "NEVER DANCE AGAIN"?

OH, NO!

THIS IS NOT GOOD.

Gracie: LET'S GO TO MRS. THIMBLE'S FOR SMOOTHIES.

WOW!

YOU'LL HAVE TO TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.

( Gasps ) MS. MIMI.

WHAT IS IT, ANGELINA?

I WAS THINKING,

MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD BE THE FAIRY PRINCESS.

BUT YOU'RE PERFECT FOR THE ROLE.

FERN IS THE BEST DANCER IN THE FOREST,

AND YOU' ONE OF THE BEST DANCERS IN MY CLASS.

I KNOW, BUT--

FERN IS LIVELY AND QUICK.

UH, I KNOW, BUT--

FERN IS FEARLESS AND BRAVE,

AND YOU'RE NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING.

THAT'S NOT EXACTLY TRUE.

I'M AFRAID THAT IF I'M THE FAIRY PRINCESS,

I WON'T GET TO DANCE VERY MUCH.

YOU'RE THE PRINCIPAL DANCER.

WHO FALLS ASLEEP, NEVER TO DANCE AGAIN.

I'D RATHER BE A SPRITE LIKE ALICE

OR A MAGIC TREE

AND DANCE IN THE CORPS DE BALLET.

OR HOW ABOUT A FIREFLY?

FIREFLY?

THERE AREN'T ANY FIREFLIES IN THIS BALLET.

I KNOW!

THAT'S WHY I CAN'T BE THE FAIRY PRINCESS.

WE NEED A FIREFLY.

OKAY, ANGELINA, I'LL MAKE YOU A PROMISE.

IF YOU STILL DON'T WANT TO BE THE FAIRY PRINCESS

AFTER THIS AFTERNOON'S REHEARSAL,

YOU CAN BE A FIREFLY.

YAY!

BUT YOU HAVE TO PROMISE TO STAY

TILL THE VERY END OF THE REHEARSAL.

I PROMISE.

I THINK YOU'LL SEE HOW IMPORTANT YOUR PART IS

AND HOW FUN IT IS TO PUT ALL THE PARTS TOGETHER

TO TELL A WONDERFUL STORY.

OKAY, LET'S BEGIN REHEARSAL.

FIRST, WE LISTEN TO THE MUSIC.

(* Violin Music )

HEAR THOSE VIOLINS?

OH, THEY SOUND LIKE SPARKLY FAIRY DUST.

THAT'S RIGHT!

THE VIOLINS ARE SETTING THE SCENE.

ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A MAGIC FOREST.

AND IN THAT FOREST LIVED...

A FAIRY NAMED FERN?

(* Light Classical Music )

A MAGIC TREE.

(* Music Continues )

WE BEGIN WITH TWO ECHAPPES SAUTES.

THEN STOP IN FIFTH POSITION.

ALSO IN THAT FOREST LIVED...

A FAIRY NAMED FERN?

A FOREST SPRITE.

ALICE, CHASSE AROUND THE MAGIC TREE

AND FINISH IN FOURTH POSITION.

(* Music Continues )

THEN ALL THE OTHER MAGICAL CREATURES OF THE FOREST ENTER.

( All Gasp )

NOT YOU, ANGELINA.

( Gasps ) OH.

AND DANCE HAPPILY ABOUT.

WHAT'S EVERYONE SO HAPPY ABOUT?

THEY'RE HAPPY BECAUSE FERN THE FAIRY IS HERE.

HEY, THAT'S ME!

(* Music Continues )

( Music Ends )

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MUSIC?

I DIDN'T GET TO DANCE YET.

THAT WAS JUST THE INTRODUCTION, ANGELINA.

AND NOW IT'S OVER.

OH.

BUT DON'T GO AWAY, FAIRY FERN.

YOUR FRIENDS WANT TO GIVE YOU GIFTS.

( Gasps )

COME ALONG, FLOWERS.

YOU, TOO, MAGIC TREE AND SPRITE.

BOURREE IN A CIRCLE AROUND FERN.

(* Lively Classical Music )

UM, DID SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING ABOUT GIFTS?

ELF PRINCE, THAT'S YOUR CUE.

FOR ME?

OH, THANK YOU!

UH-OH... (* Ominous Music )

WHY IS THE MUSIC DOING THAT?

THE BAD FAIRY IS COMING.

IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?

THE ENCHANTED PILLOW.

AS SOON AS YOU TOUCH IT, YOU'LL FALL ASLEEP.

(* Ominous Music )

NO, ANGELINA, DON'T-- DON'T RUN AWAY.

TAKE THE PILLOW.

DO I HAVE TO?

NOW LAY DOWN YOUR HEAD AND FALL FAST ASLEEP.

BUT I'M NOT IN THE LEAST BIT TIRED.

ANGELINA...

( Sighs )

(* Ominous Music )

ANGELINA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ASLEEP.

I'M SLEEPWALKING.

FAIRIES DO NOT SLEEPWALK.

YOU'RE UNDER A SLEEPING SPELL.

I KNOW,

NEVER TO DANCE AGAIN.

MAYBE I CAN HELP VIKI BACKSTAGE.

IT'S NOT FAIR, VIKI.

EVERYBODY GETS TO DANCE A LOT BUT ME.

ALICE GETS TO BE A SPRITE.

ALL I GET TO DO IS SLEEP.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, ANGELINA.

WHEN YOU SLEEP, YOU GET TO DREAM.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO DREAM.

I WANT TO DANCE,

JUST LIKE YOU WANTED TO PAINT.

I KNOW.

IT'S SO MUCH FUN!

( Gasps ) OOPS.

WELL, BEING FERN THE FAIRY ISN'T FUN.

IT'S THE WORST ROLE IN THE WHOLE BALLET.

MAYBE YOU COULD SWITCH WITH SOMEONE?

I TRIED,

BUT MS. MIMI MADE ME PROMISE TO WAIT

UNTIL REHEARSAL WAS OVER.

OH, I WISH EVERYONE WOULD JUST HURRY UP.

YAY!

IT'S OVER!

Ms. Mimi: ANGELINA.

ANGELINA?

CAN YOU COME BACK OUT HERE, PLEASE?

YOUR FOREST FRIENDS HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU.

THEY WANT TO BREAK YOUR SPELL.

BREAK MY SPELL?

YOU MEAN FERN IS GOING TO WAKE UP?

YES, INDEED.

BUT SHE HAS TO FALL ASLEEP FIRST.

NO PROBLEM.

WATCH THIS.

NICE JOB, FERN.

VERY CONVINCING.

OKAY, MAGICAL FRIENDS, DO YOUR THING.

NOW WHAT?

NOW YOU LEAP TO YOUR FEET AND DANCE.

I DANCE?

THAT'S RIGHT!

YOU DANCE AND DANCE AND DANCE!

(* Music )

EXCELLENT, FERN.

OKAY, SPRITES AND MAGIC TREES, TAKE FERN'S HANDS AND JOIN IN.

HEAR THE MUSIC?

IT'S GETTING LOUDER.

THAT MEANS THE PRINCE IS COMING.

I SLEPT AND SLEPT AND SLEPT.

BUT NOW I GET TO DANCE AND DANCE AND DANCE!

Angelina: MS. MIMI WAS RIGHT.

MY PART WAS IMPORTANT, AND SO WAS EVERYONE ELSE'S.

ALL OUR PARTS CAME TOGETHER TO TELL A STUPENDOUS STORY.

AND THAT'S THE BEST PART.

(* Lively Piano )

(* Music & Chimes )

Angelina: I'M ANGELINA BALLERINA,

AND TODAY I HAVE A STUPENDOUS SOMETHING TO DO...

HI, MOM.

HELLO, DEAR.

(* Guitar )

* THOUGH I AM A TINY KING,

* I WISH MY PARMESAN WOULD REIGN SUPREME *

* AND WIN THE PRIZE!

OH, I LOVE IT!

Polly: HI, ANGELINA!

OOPS!

I LIKE YOUR SONG.

IT'S CALLED A BALLAD.

A BALLAD IS A SONG THAT TELLS A STORY.

OH, SING IT AGAIN!

* THE FAIRY WHISPERED THE KEY TO THE KING *

* WHO WORKED HARD TO BE BIG AND STRONG *

* AND RISE TO WIN THE PRIZE.

(* Guitar )

THE END!

SING ANOTHER STORY SONG!

POLLY, YOU DRAW THE GREAT KING MOUSE

AND I'LL PRACTICE MY DANCE TO MARCO'S SONG.

YIPPEE! I LOVE TO DRAW!

I'LL GET MY FAVORITE COLORS!

I GET TO TAKE CARE OF POLLY TODAY

BECAUSE MOM AND DAD ARE VERY BUSY.

( Oven Timer Dings )

YUMMY, MOM'S CARROT PIE IS READY!

MOM!

THANK YOU, ANGELINA.

I'LL GET IT.

OOH, CAN I GET THE PIE?

UMM...

POLLY, YOUR GREAT KING MOUSE NEEDS A NOSE!

OH YES!

A BIG NOSE!

MMM!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO

WITHOUT YOUR HELP TODAY, ANGELINA.

I'M TRYING TO BAKE AND SEW AT THE SAME TIME.

THESE ARE FOR THE EARTH DAY BAKE

SALE. ( Doorbell Rings )

AND THAT MUST BE MRS. FURR TO PICK UP HER DRESS.

LUCKILY, I'VE JUST FINISHED IT.

IT SURE IS BUSY AROUND HERE.

MMM...

( Gasp )

( Sigh )

MOM!

LOOK AT MY GREAT KING MOUSE!

OH...PRETTY.

CAN I TRY IT ON?

POLLY, THE KING MOUSE NEEDS A CROWN!

OKEY-DOKEY.

YOU'RE AN ANGEL, ANGELINA.

HELLO, MRS. FURR.

I HAVE TO GO HOME FOR DINNER.

BYE!

YOU'RE WELCOME, MRS. FURR!

BYE, MRS. MOUSELING.

NICE TO SEE YOU, MARCO.

( Sighs )

OH, I'D BETTER FINISH THE CARROT PIES.

(* Music )

Mr. Mouseling: HELLO! I'M HOME!

DADDY!

HELLO, DEAR,

HOW WAS THE BIG SALE AT THE MUSIC STORE?

UGH...IT WAS PACKED!

I'M EXHAUSTED.

GIRLS, I KNOW YOUR MOM HAD A BIG DAY, TOO,

SO I BOUGHT US A PIZZA!

IS IT A TRIPLE CHEESE?

QUADRUPLE!

( Doorbell Rings )

OH, MY.

THAT MUST BE THE EARTH DAY COMMITTEE

TO PICK UP THE PIES.

LET ME HELP YOU.

ME TOO!

LET ME, LET ME, LET ME CARRY A PIE!

FINALLY, MY WORK IS DONE.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR PIZZA.

YAY!

(* Music )

YEAH!

( Sighs ) IT FEELS GOOD TO SIT DOWN.

YUM, YUM!

AFTER PIZZA,

LET'S GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY HOPSCOTCH!

HUH?

UH-OH.

OH, POLLY, I HAVE AN IDEA.

HOW ABOUT WE GO UPSTAIRS AND FIND A GAME TO PLAY!

OH, A GAME!

GREAT IDEA, ANGELINA.

YOU MAY BOTH BE EXCUSED.

YEAH!

FINALLY, A CHANCE TO RELAX.

I LOVE TO HELP MOM AND DAD.

I DO TOO!

LET'S GO PLAY WITH THEM!

UH...POLLY, YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS

WHEN YOU PLAY IN THE PARK ALL DAY?

AND THEN COME HOME AND WE DANCE

AND PLAY HIDE-AND-SEEK?

( Giggles )

AFTER SUCH A BIG DAY YOU FEEL A LITTLE TIRED?

MM-HMM.

WELL, THAT'S HOW MOM AND DAD FEEL NOW.

THEY'VE HAD A REALLY BUSY DAY, SO THEY WANT TO RELAX.

REEE-LAX?

IT MEANS SITTING AND BEING QUIET,

NOT PLAYING.

LIKE WHEN YOU COME TO SEE ME DANCE IN A BALLET,

I DANCE AND YOU JUST RELAX AND WATCH!

OH, LET'S PUT ON A SHOW FOR MOM AND DAD,

SO THEY CAN REALLY RELAX.

( Gasps! )

WE'LL WRITE A BALLAD!

A STORY SONG!

ABOUT PRINCESSES WHO HELP THE KING AND QUEEN RELAX!

WE'LL MAKE IT STUPENDOUS!

(* Soft Strings )

( Sighs ) I AM SOOOO RELAXED.

Polly: ANGELINA! ANGELINA!

LET'S PRACTICE!

I THINK I'LL PUT MY FEET UP AND READ THE NEWSPAPER.

AHHHHH.

AHHHHHHH.

Polly: TA-DA!

THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!

THE SHOW?

WHAT SHOW?

DON'T WORRY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING.

YOU CAN JUST RELAX!

* ONCE UPON A TIME, IN--

UH, I FORGOT.

JUST A MINUTE.

( Whispering )

( Whispering ) Okey-dokey!

( Clears Throat )

(* Music )

* ONCE UPON A TIME,

* IN A CASTLE MADE OF CHEESE... *

UH, OOOPS.

DON'T WORRY, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

UM, MAYBE WE CAN WATCH THE SHOW TOMORROW?

NO, NO.

WE WANT YOU TO RELAX TONIGHT!

IF YOU FORGET YOUR WORDS, I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE.

IF THE WORD IS "DANCE," LOOK AT ME AND I'LL DANCE.

IF THE WORD IS "SMALL,"

I'LL CRUNCH DOWN AND MAKE MYSELF SMALL.

I LIKE "CULL-LOOS!"

( Giggles )

IF YOU FORGET, JUST LOOK AT ME!

OKAY.

( Yawns ) WELL, I GUESS I WON'T BE READING THE NEWSPAPER

ANYTIME SOON.

( Yawns )

THE GIRLS JUST WANT TO DO SOMETHING NICE FOR US.

TA-DA AGAIN!

TIME FOR OUR SHOW!

(* Music )

* ONCE UPON A TIME,

* IN A CASTLE MADE OF CHEESE,

* TWO PRINCESSES PLANNED SOME TIME *

* FOR THE KING AND QUEEN TO UNWIND. *

* BUT THEY WOULDN'T SIT STILL, KEPT MOVING AROUND, *

* THINGS GOT IN THE WAY, AND THEY NEVER SAT DOWN. *

* THE PRINCESSES TRIED THEIR BEST *

* FOR TONIGHT WAS THE ROYAL BALL. *

* BUT THEY WERE TOO LITTLE, THEY WERE TOO SMALL, *

* NO ONE PAID ANY MIND AT ALL. *

* OH, TONIGHT WAS THE ROYAL BALL. *

* THEY WERE TOO LITTLE, THEY WERE TOO SMALL, *

* NO ONE PAID ANY MIND AT ALL. *

* ALL AT ONCE, A MAGIC FAIRY-- *

Together: OOF!

OOOPS!

SORRY, ANGELINA!

( Sighs ) DON'T WORRY.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK!

( Both Laugh )

POLLY, YOU STAND STILL AND I'LL DANCE.

OKEY-DOKEY!

I'LL DO MY BESTEST...

(* Music )

( Chuckles )

* ALL AT ONCE, A MAGIC FAIRY DANCED BY *

* AND WAVED HER MAGIC WAND.

* THE PRINCESSES GREW, OH, HOW THEY GREW. *

* NO LONGER SMALL, THEY WERE SUDDENLY TALL. *

* THEN THE KING AND THE QUEEN STOPPED EVERYTHING *

* AND LISTENED AFTER ALL.

* THEY TOOK A SHORT REST TO PREPARE FOR THEIR GUESTS, *

* THEN BEGAN THE ROYAL BALL.

( Snoring )

OH NO! THEY'RE SLEEPING!

WE HAVE TO WAKE THEM UP AND DO IT AGAIN.

WAIT.

REMEMBER WHY WE WANTED TO PUT ON THE SHOW FOR MOM AND DAD?

SO THEY COULD RELAX.

YES!

AND I THINK THEY'RE VERY RELAXED NOW.

( Snoring )

( Giggling )

LET'S GO UPSTAIRS.

I HAVE A GREAT IDEA.

( Shouting ) STUU-PEN-DOUS!

SHHHHH!

"AND THE KING AND THE QUEEN AND THE PRINCESSES

LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER."

WHAT A WONDERFUL BIG SISTER YOU ARE.

THANK YOU, MOM.

AND A WONDERFUL DAUGHTER TOO.

( Sighs Sleepily )

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING AN EYE ON POLLY ALL DAY.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO PUT POLLY TO BED.

( Yawns )

AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO RELAX!

( Sighs ) MM.

(* Lively Piano )

(* Music & Chimes )

Angelina: I'M ANGELINA BALLERINA.

TODAY MY FRIENDS AND I ARE REHEARSING

THE CINDERELLA BALLET

BY THE RUSSIAN COMPOSER, PROVOLINSKY.

NOW, REMEMBER, A.Z.,

YOU'RE THE PRINCE ARRIVING AT THE BALL,

SO WALK PROUDLY.

(* Regal Music )

A.Z. MAKES A GREAT PRINCE.

AND WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL TUTU, YOU'RE THE PERFECT CINDERELLA.

THANK YOU.

I COULDN'T WAIT TO WEAR IT,

SO I PUT IT ON FOR THE REHEARSAL.

WHERE DID YOU GET IT, ANYWAY?

ACTUALLY, IT'S A BIT LIKE THE CINDERELLA STORY.

( Giggles )

OKAY, NOW I'M INTERESTED.

WELL, IT ALL STARTED WHEN...

POLLY AND I WERE PLAYING HIDE-AND-SEEK IN THE ATTIC

RIGHT AFTER WE MOVED TO OUR NEW HOUSE.

( Gasps )

WOW.

THREE, TWO, ONE.

READY OR NOT, HERE I COME.

AHA! FOUND YOU!

( Polly Gasps )

OOH, WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S A TUTU,

A SPECIAL COSTUME FOR BALLERINAS.

I WANT A TUTU TOO.

THIS TUTU ISN'T EVEN MINE.

I JUST FOUND IT IN THIS BOX.

BUT I WISH IT DID BELONG TO ME.

WHOSE IS IT, THEN?

GOOD QUESTION.

AND HOW DID IT GET IN OUR ATTIC?

I DON'T KNOW.

DO YOU THINK IT COULD BE MOM'S FROM WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE?

LET'S GO ASK HER.

DAD, LOOK AT THIS TUTU WE FOUND IN THE ATTIC.

WE THINK IT'S MOM'S.

HMM, WELL, YOUR MOTHER IS OUT RUNNING ERRANDS.

YOU CAN ASK HER WHEN SHE GETS BACK.

POLLY, IF THIS TUTU IS MOM'S,

WOULDN'T SHE HAVE GIVEN IT TO US ALREADY?

I GUESS SO.

AND IF SHE WERE TRYING TO HIDE IT FROM US IN THE ATTIC,

SHE KNOWS WE'D FIND IT SOONER OR LATER.

YEAH, WE'RE GOOD SNOOPS.

THIS TUTU MUST HAVE BEEN SOMEONE ELSE'S,

BUT WHOSE?

WAIT A MINUTE.

DAD, DIDN'T MRS. THIMBLE LIVE IN THIS HOUSE

WHEN SHE WAS A MOUSELING?

WHY, YES, SHE DID.

MAYBE MRS. THIMBLE KNOWS WHO THE TUTU BELONGED TO.

MAYBE IT'S EVEN HERS.

LET'S GO ASK HER.

DAD, WE'RE GOING TO MRS. THIMBLE'S STORE.

JUST BE SURE TO BE HOME FOR LUNCH AT NOON.

THAT'S WHEN MOM WILL BE BACK FROM HER ERRANDS.

WE WILL, DAD.

WE'LL BE BACK AT NOON.

ON THE DOT.

Angelina: WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME,

BUT WE HAD TO FIND OUT WHO THE TUTU BELONGED TO.

OKAY, NOW THE PRINCE WALTZES CINDERELLA ACROSS THE STAGE.

ONE, TWO, THREE; ONE, TWO, THREE.

Alice: I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN, ANGELINA.

YOUR STORY IS LIKE CINDERELLA.

A.Z.: YEAH, FINDING THE TUTU IS KIND OF LIKE

FINDING THE GLASS SLIPPER...

Alice: AND THEN LOOKING FOR ITS REAL OWNER...

A.Z.: AND STILL MAKE IT HOME BEFORE THE CLOCK STRIKES 12:00.

EXACTLY, SO JUST LISTEN TO WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.

(* Light-Hearted Piano )

HI, MRS. THIMBLE.

HELLO.

WELL, HELLO, MOUSELINGS.

CAN WE ASK YOU A QUESTION?

CERTAINLY.

JUST GIVE ME A MOMENT.

I'M GATHERING ITEMS FOR AN ORDER THAT WAS PLACED OVER THE PHONE.

POLLY, LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S A PICTURE OF A BALLERINA.

NOT JUST ANY BALLERINA, POLLY.

DOESN'T SHE LOOK LIKE SOMEONE WE KNOW?

Polly: MRS. THIMBLE?

THIS TUTU COULD BE...

Together: HERS.

(* Piano & Flute )

I'M SURE THE TUTU BELONGED TO MRS. THIMBLE.

SHE PROBABLY USED TO BE A FAMOUS BALLERINA.

A SUPER-FAMOUS BALLERINA.

WHY, ANGELINA, I JUST LOVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL TUTU.

ISN'T IT YOUR BEAUTIFUL TUTU?

NO.

I'VE NEVER OWNED A TUTU LIKE THAT.

( Laughs )

I'VE NEVER OWNED A TUTU AT ALL.

BUT ISN'T THIS YOU IN THE PHOTO?

ACTUALLY, THAT'S MY SISTER, MRS. NIMBLE.

SHE USED TO BE QUITE THE DANCER.

SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU.

WE LOOKED EXACTLY ALIKE,

BUT I WAS NEVER AS NIMBLE ON MY TOES AS SHE.

WHOA! OH!

( Laughs )

( Angelina Gasps )

SEE?

IF THIS TUTU ISN'T MRS. THIMBLE'S,

THEN WHOSE IS IT?

ANGELINA, LOOK AT ALL THAT STUFF.

( Gasps )

Angelina: EVERYTHING'S HOT PINK,

JUST LIKE THE TUTU.

YES, THOSE ARE THE THINGS I WAS GATHERING TOGETHER

FOR THE PHONE ORDER FROM MS. MIMI.

Together: MS. MIMI?

YES, MS. MIMI JUST LOVES THE COLOR PINK.

THAT'S WHY SHE ORDERED THESE HOT PINK MARKERS,

THIS HOT PINK NOTEBOOK,

AND THIS BEAUTIFUL HOT PINK UMBRELLA.

COULD THE TUTU BE MS. MIMI'S?

BUT HOW DID IT GET IN OUR HOUSE?

LET'S GO ASK HER.

MRS. THIMBLE, WE CAN TAKE THOSE TO MS. MIMI FOR YOU.

THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU, ANGELINA.

WE'RE GOING TO FIND THE TUTU OWNER.

YAY.

SOON, I HOPE, BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST 12:00.

(* Waltz )

LISTEN, MOUSELINGS,

THE WALTZ IS GETTING FASTER, MORE INTENSE.

IT'S ALMOST MIDNIGHT.

SO DID THE TUTU BELONG TO MS. MIMI?

WELL, REMEMBER IN CINDERELLA,

THE PRINCE HAS TO TRY THE SLIPPER

ON LOTS AND LOTS OF MOUSELINGS.

YEAH, IT TAKES HIM A LONG TIME TO FIND THE TRUE OWNER.

EXACTLY.

JUST LISTEN TO WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.

(* Piano )

Angelina: POLLY AND I FOUND MS. MIMI IN THE DANCE STUDIO.

HI, MS. MIMI.

HELLO.

HELLO, MOUSELINGS.

MRS. THIMBLE SAID YOU'D BE BRINGING ME

THE THINGS I ORDERED FROM THE STORE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UM, WE ALSO BROUGHT SOMETHING ELSE.

OH, REALLY?

WHAT?

SHE'S WEARING IT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

MY TUTU.

I MEAN YOUR TUTU.

IT IS YOURS, ISN'T IT?

OH, ANGELINA, I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THE TUTU.

IT'S YOURS, RIGHT?

I WAS GOING TO SAY IT'S BEAUTIFUL,

BUT, NO, IT'S NOT MINE.

Angelina: I WAS SO SURE THE TUTU WAS MS. MIMI'S,

BUT IT WASN'T.

IT LOOKED LIKE OUR SEARCH WAS NOT OVER.

IT'S NOT YOURS?

ARE YOU SURE?

I'M SURE.

I WOULD DEFINITELY REMEMBER OWNING A TUTU LIKE THAT.

HMM, THEN IT MUST BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE.

BUT WHO?

Angelina: WE WERE COMPLETELY OUT OF IDEAS.

(* Rhythmic Percussive Music )

NOW IT'S MIDNIGHT.

HEAR HOW THE MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE A TICKING CLOCK?

CINDERELLA, IT'S TIME TO GO.

(* Rhythmic Percussive Music )

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I THOUGHT FOR SURE THE TUTU BELONGED TO MS. MIMI.

SO DID WE,

AND NOW WE HAD TO GET HOME BY NOON.

JUST LIKE CINDERELLA HAD TO BE HOME BY MIDNIGHT.

FINISH THE STORY, ANGELINA.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

WELL, POLLY AND I HAD ALMOST GIVEN UP

ON FINDING THE TUTU'S OWNER.

YOU MADE IT HOME IN TIME FOR LUNCH:

PEA SOUP WITH CHEESE SANDWICHES.

UH, I THOUGHT YOU LOVED PEA SOUP.

IT'S NOT THAT, DAD.

IT'S THIS TUTU.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?

I THINK IT'S RATHER PRETTY.

IT'S STUPENDOUS,

BUT WE SPENT ALL MORNING TRYING TO FIND THE OWNER,

AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN COME CLOSE.

NOT EVEN A TEENY BIT CLOSE.

( Sighs )

UM, I...I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO TELL YOU.

IF ONLY YOU COULD TELL US WHO USED TO OWN--

Mrs. Mouseling: MY TUTU.

Together: YOUR TUTU?

YES, THAT'S MINE FROM WHEN I WAS A LITTLE MOUSELING.

I TOOK A FEW BALLET CLASSES, YOU KNOW.

BUT WHY WERE YOU HIDING THE TUTU IN THE ATTIC?

OH, IT MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE BOX

THAT GRANDMA JUST SENT ME.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SHE SAID SHE WAS CLEANING OUT HER GARAGE...

AND SHE FOUND SOME OF MY OLD THINGS.

I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK THROUGH THE BOX YET.

I'LL BET YOU WOULD'VE

IF YOU KNEW THERE WAS A SPECIAL HOT PINK TUTU IN IT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT TO YOU RIGHT AWAY.

BUT THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD OUR ADVENTURE.

YES, WE WENT ALL OVER...

LOOKING FOR THE OWNER OF THE TUTU,

EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OUR VERY OWN MOM...

Together: THE WHOLE TIME.

( Giggling )

SO THAT'S HOW YOU GOT YOUR TUTU.

I TOLD YOU IT WAS A GOOD STORY.

Ms. Mimi: POSITIONS, EVERYONE.

THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO START.

Angelina: AND CINDERELLA GETS TO WEAR THE BEST HOT PINK TUTU EVER.

(* Light Music )

(* Music Continues )

(* Piano )

(* Music & Chimes )

Angelina: I'M ANGELINA BALLERINA,

AND TODAY CHIPPING CHEDDAR'S IN A CARNIVAL MOOD,

AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF MARCO.

(* Light-Hearted Music )

( Sighs )

OHH! ( Thud )

( All Gasp )

( Laughter )

HEY, ANGELINA, YOU--YOU WIGGLED.

NO, I DIDN'T.

YOU DROPPED HER, A.Z.!

WHAT?

I--I--

( Heavy Sigh )

MARCO?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, I'M FINE, VIKI.

IT'S JUST... ( Sighs )

YOU'RE NOT FINE AT ALL.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, MARCO?

I KNOW THIS SOUNDS SILLY,

BUT A COUPLE OF DAYS FROM NOW,

IT'S GOING TO BE THE COSTA MOUSA CARNIVAL.

COSTA MOUSA CARNIVAL?

YEAH, IT'S WHERE I USED TO LIVE

BEFORE WE CAME TO CHIPPING CHEDDAR,

AND EVERY YEAR, THEY'D HAVE A CARNIVAL.

THERE'D BE MUSIC AND DANCING AND A CARNIVAL QUEEN.

A CARNIVAL QUEEN?

I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT.

IT WOULDN'T BE A CARNIVAL WITHOUT A CARNIVAL QUEEN.

WOW!

I WISH WE COULD HAVE A CARNIVAL.

AND THEN WE'D HAVE A GREAT BIG CONGA DANCE

WITH BONGO DRUMS AND MARACAS AND COWBELLS,

AND WE'D PARTY, PARTY, PARTY!

CONGA DANCE?

IS THAT HARD TO DO?

IT'S THE EASIEST DANCE IN THE WORLD.

HERE, PUT YOUR PAWS AROUND MY WAIST.

YOU KIND OF BOUNCE AND SHAKE YOUR LEG,

LIKE THIS.

* LA-LA-LA-LA-LA, LA

ANGELINA, YOU GRAB AHOLD OF ALICE,

AND THEN, GRACIE, YOU JOIN IN.

AND VIKI.

* LA-LA-LA-LA-LA, LA

* LA-LA-LA-LA-LA, LA *

( Laughter )

* LA, LA, LA-LA

( Marco Laughs )

( Sighs )

BUT WE'RE NOT IN COSTA MOUSA, ARE WE?

BUT WE COULD BE.

WE COULD HAVE OUR OWN MINI COSTA MOUSAN CARNIVAL,

RIGHT HERE IN CHIPPING CHEDDAR,

ESPECIALLY FOR MARCO.

VIKI, THAT'S A BRILLIANT IDEA!

SHH.

THINK I'LL GO HOME AND...

( Sighs )

SEE YOU, MARCO.

HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER.

THANKS.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

SO WHAT DO WE DO FOR THIS CARNIVAL?

WELL, FIRST, WE'RE GONNA NEED SOME INSTRUMENTS.

(* Cheerful Music )

DAD!?

DAD!

ANGELINA?

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

YES, IT COULDN'T BE RIGHTER.

RIGHTER? IS THAT A WORD?

I THINK IT IS NOW.

SO WHAT'S THE BIG EXCITEMENT?

VIKI'S HAD A GREAT IDEA.

SEE, MARCO WAS FEELING A BIT DOWN IN THE DUMPS...

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A COSTA MOUSAN CARNIVAL

RIGHT HERE IN CHIPPING CHEDDAR.

AND THERE'LL BE DANCING AND STUFF AND A--

HEY, HEY, WHOA!

SLOW DOWN.

( Laughing ) SORRY, DAD.

SO DO WE HAVE ANY INSTRUMENTS WE CAN USE FOR THE CARNIVAL?

WELL, I THINK I'VE GOT A SET OF BONGOS SOMEWHERE.

WILL THEY BE ANY GOOD?

THEY'D BE GREAT!

BUT WE'LL NEED SOME OTHER INSTRUMENTS ALSO.

WE WANT TO MAKE IT A REAL COSTA MOUSAN CARNIVAL.

WELL, WHY DON'T WE GO AND SEE WHAT I'VE GOT IN MY SHOP?

OOH, THANK YOU, MR. MOUSELING.

(* Cheerful Music )

RIGHT.

NOW, I'LL GO AND SEE WHAT I'VE GOT.

I'M SURE DAD HAS SOMETHING JUST RIGHT FOR--

Mr. Mouseling: OH!

( Crash ) OOF!

DAD?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

Mr. Mouseling: YUP! FINE.

BIT OF A WOBBLY SHELF.

THESE OUGHT TO FIT THE BILL:

A PAIR OF MARACAS.

( Maracas Rattling )

WOW.

THANKS, MR. MOUSELING.

AND WHAT'S THAT?

THIS IS A COWBELL.

( Cowbell Clinks )

(* Maracas & Cowbell )

HOW'S THAT?

SOUNDS FANTASTIC!

THANKS, DAD.

WE PROMISE WE'LL TAKE REALLY GOOD CARE OF THEM

AND BRING THEM BACK.

COME ON, ANGELINA, LET'S GO TO THE LUNCHTIME THEATER.

WE CAN PRACTICE BEFORE MARCO GETS THERE.

ANGELINA?

WHEN IS THIS CARNIVAL OF YOURS?

THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

EVERYONE'S COMING.

IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT!

OH.

DAD? IS SOMETHING WRONG?

I THINK YOU FORGOT.

IT'S POLLY'S BIRTHDAY THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

( Gasps ) I DID FORGET.

SO...

AREN'T YOU GOING TO BLOW OUT YOUR BIRTHDAY CANDLES,

POLLY, DARLING?

MM-MM.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR PRESENT?

AREN'T YOU GOING TO OPEN IT?

MM-MM-MM.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, POLLY?

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY. YOU SHOULD BE HAVING FUN.

I CAN'T HAVE ANY FUN.

THIS IS THE WORST BIRTHDAY EVER...

( Cries ) 'CAUSE ANGELINA ISN'T HERE.

HEY, LOOK WHAT I'VE GOT.

( Maracas Rattling )

GOOD STUFF, VIKI.

( Maracas Rattle )

( Cowbell Clinks )

WOW.

AND ANGELINA'S GOT SOME BONGOS.

YES.

COME ON, ANGELINA, JOIN IN.

NO, YOU PLAY THEM, ALICE.

YOU'D BETTER GET SOME PRACTICE IN.

ANGELINA?

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

DAD REMINDED ME:

OUR CARNIVAL'S ON THE SAME DAY AS POLLY'S BIRTHDAY,

AND WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING PLANNED

TO MAKE IT A REALLY GREAT DAY FOR HER.

SHE'D BE REALLY DISAPPOINTED IF I WASN'T THERE TO CELEBRATE.

SO, SORRY, EVERYONE.

I WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THE CARNIVAL.

OH, NO.

BUT DON'T WORRY, WE CAN HANDLE IT.

IT JUST WON'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU, ANGELINA.

I FEEL AWFUL.

I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CARNIVAL, BUT POLLY...

WELL, POLLY'S BIRTHDAY WILL BE FUN TOO.

IF ONLY THERE WAS A WAY

ANGELINA COULD BE IN THE CARNIVAL TOO.

( Gasps ) WAIT A SEC.

THERE IS!

AND IT'LL MAKE THE DAY PERFECT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S THE DAY OF THE CARNIVAL.

THIS IS SO EXCITING.

HAVE WE GOT ALL THE INSTRUMENTS?

MARACAS, BONGOS, AND COWBELL.

GOT 'EM ALL.

I JUST HOPE IT ALL WORKS.

WHAT'S HAPPENING ABOUT MARCO?

HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET HIM TO COME OUT HERE?

WE NEED SOMEONE TO GO IN AND GET HIM.

I'LL DO THAT.

HEY, MARCO.

YOU OKAY?

WELL... AS OKAY AS I COULD BE

ON THE DAY OF THE COSTA MOUSA CARNIVAL

THAT I'M NOT GOING TO.

AH...

WHAT IS IT, A.Z.?

UM...

VIKI WANTED TO SEE YOU.

WHAT ABOUT?

UM...

I THINK SHE SAID IT WAS ABOUT SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING.

SHE'S IN THE LUNCHTIME THEATER.

OKAY, A.Z.,

BUT WHY ARE YOU HOLDING A COWBELL?

OKAY, IS EVERYONE READY?

Together: READY.

( Panting ) MARCO'S ON HIS WAY.

GREAT.

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WHAT DID YOU WANT, VIKI?

TO GIVE YOU YOUR VERY OWN CARNIVAL,

RIGHT HERE IN CHIPPING CHEDDAR!

(* Bongos & Maracas )

(* Cowbell )

WOW, IT'S JUST LIKE COSTA MOUSA.

BUT...WHERE'S ANGELINA?

THAT'S THE NEXT PART OF THE SURPRISE.

YOU LEAD THE CARNIVAL TO MRS. THIMBLE'S,

THEN MEET ME AT ANGELINA'S HOUSE.

OKAY.

I JUST NEED TO GET THE CARNIVAL QUEEN READY.

HUH?

NEVER MIND.

YOU'LL SEE WHEN YOU GET THERE.

NOW, LET'S GET THE CARNIVAL STARTED.

( All Cheering )

BONGO!

(* Conga Music )

( Knocking )

HI, VIKI.

I THOUGHT YOU'D BE AT THE CARNIVAL.

OH, I JUST CAME OVER WITH A BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR POLLY.

THAT'S REALLY SWEET OF YOU.

DO YOU WANT TO COME IN AND GIVE IT TO HER?

HI, VIKI.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY.

YES, IT IS, POLLY, AND I'VE BROUGHT YOU A PRESENT.

A PRESENT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

( Gasps )

WHAT IS IT?

IT'S A SCEPTER.

THE CARNIVAL QUEEN HAS TO CARRY IT

AT THE CARNIVAL PROCESSION.

I THINK VIKI'S ASKING YOU TO BE CARNIVAL QUEEN.

BUT I'M STILL TOO LITTLE.

WELL, YOU CAN BE CARNIVAL PRINCESS, THEN.

YAY!

YIPPEE!

YAY!

(* Faint Drumbeats )

WHAT'S THAT?

LOOK.

THE CARNIVAL.

IT SEEMS TO BE COMING TO OUR HOUSE.

AND A CARNIVAL PRINCESS IS GOING TO NEED A CARRIAGE.

FOLLOW ME.

YOUR CARRIAGE AWAITS, YOUR HIGHNESS.

(* Festive Conga Music )

THANKS, VIKI, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

(* Music Continues )

THIS IS THE BEST CARNIVAL EVER!

MY CARNIVAL PRINCESS BIRTHDAY IS THE BEST EVER!

(* Piano )

(* Music & Chimes )

Angelina: I'M ANGELINA BALLERINA.

TODAY WE'RE PERFORMING OUR FAVORITE FAIRY TALE:

"MOUSELINA."

PRINCESS MOUSELINA

HAS TAKEN A BITE OF THE POISON CHEESE

AND FALLEN INTO AN ENCHANTED SLEEP.

THE KINDLY TROLL IS BESIDE HERSELF WITH WORRY.

ALAS! ALACK!

AND BOO-HOO-HOO.

SHE'S FALLEN ASLEEP.

WHAT SHALL I DO?

BUT ALL IS NOT LOST.

HERE COMES MY FAVORITE PART.

Viki: A BRAVE PRINCE RIDES UP TO MOUSELINA.

HARK!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS.

MWAH!

HMM.

( Gasps ) OH, HAPPY DAY!

WHAT JOY!

WHAT BLISS!

SHE'S BEEN AWAKENED BY TRUE LOVE'S KISS.

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

ENCORE!

I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN.

( Applause )

HERE HE IS, MY HANDSOME PRINCE.

NOT ANYMORE.

THE SHOW IS OVER.

TRUE.

( Sniffs )

WHAT'S THAT, MARCO?

IT SMELLS SPICY.

IT'S CURRY,

JUST LIKE THE CURRY I HAD

WHEN I VISITED MOUSIHARI IN INDIA.

( Munches )

MMM, MMM.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD AN AMAZING TIME THERE.

I SAW SO MUCH.

LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STORIES IN INDIA:

THE RAMAYANA.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STORIES IN INDIA

IS A COMIC BOOK?

IT DIDN'T START OUT THAT WAY.

IT'S A LONG POEM WITH 24,000 VERSES.

BUT IT'S BEEN MADE INTO BALLETS, MUSICAL PLAYS,

EVEN COMIC BOOKS.

Viki: THAT'S SO AMAZING!

THE COSTUMES ARE REALLY PRETTY.

COME, LOOK AT THIS.

THESE ARE TABLA, INDIAN DRUMS.

(* Drumbeats )

COOL.

NICE RHYTHMS, MARCO.

I'M GLAD I FOUND YOU ALL.

IT'S TIME TO PLAN OUR NEXT LUNCHTIME THEATER PERFORMANCE.

I VOTE FOR "MOUSELINA."

ME TOO.

YEAH, IT'S MY FAVORITE.

BUT WE JUST DID "MOUSELINA."

SO?

I NEVER GET TIRED OF IT.

ME NEITHER.

WELL, I DO,

ESPECIALLY SINCE ALL I DO IS KISS THE PRINCESS.

LET'S DO SOMETHING ELSE FOR A CHANGE.

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE... HOW ABOUT THE RAMAYANA?

OR AT LEAST WE COULD SING AN INDIAN SONG FROM IT.

BUT NO ONE'S EVER HEARD OF IT...

EXCEPT YOU.

AND OVER A BILLION OTHERS IN INDIA.

TELL YOU WHAT.

WE'LL DRAW STRAWS.

WHOEVER PICKS THE SHORT STRAW GETS TO CHOOSE.

THAT'S FAIR.

YEAH! I WON!

( Sighs )

I GUESS WE'RE DOING THE RAMALAMA.

THE RAMAYANA.

YOU'LL LIKE IT.

OKAY, HERE'S THE SONG I LEARNED IN INDIA.

(* Drumbeats )

* PRAVISHYA *

* PRAVISHYA... *

THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ANY SONG

I'VE EVER HEARD BEFORE.

THE WORDS ARE IN HINDI, AN INDIAN LANGUAGE.

* TU MAHAARANYAM *

EVEN THE MUSIC SOUNDS DIFFERENT.

INDIAN MUSICAL SCALES, RAGAS,

HAVE DIFFERENT NOTES THAN THE SCALES WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH.

* DANDAKAARANYAM *

* AATMAVAAN *

THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN SING THIS.

BUT MARCO WON, FAIR AND SQUARE.

I KNOW.

I JUST MEAN THAT IF WE EVEN TRY TO SING THIS SONG,

WE'RE GOING TO MESS UP.

WE'LL BE LAUGHED OFF THE STAGE.

Angelina: WE'RE TRYING EVERYTHING TO GET MARCO

TO DO "MOUSELINA" INSTEAD OF THE INDIAN SONG.

WHAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO KISS ME AT THE END?

I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE THAT PART.

I'M STICKING WITH THE RAMAYANA.

WHAT IF YOU PLAY THE KINDLY TROLL

INSTEAD OF ME?

THAT'S A BIGGER PART.

NOPE.

I KNOW.

INSTEAD OF AN EVIL STEPMOTHER,

YOU COULD PLAY THE EVIL STEPFATHER.

YOU COULD WEAR A LONG CAPE AND DO AN EVIL LAUGH.

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!

I WANT TO DO THE RAMAYANA.

JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE, PLEASE?

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

SURE.

OKAY, TRY THE FIRST LINE.

* PRAVISHYA *

* PRAVISHYA *

* TU MAHAARANYAM *

(* Discordant Singing )

YOU'RE SINGING IT WRONG.

IT'S NOT "POOR WISH."

IT'S NOT ABOUT A HORRIFIED PROFESSOR, EITHER.

IT'S NOT ANY OF THOSE THINGS.

IT'S IN HINDI, REMEMBER?

MAYBE IT WOULD HELP

IF WE UNDERSTOOD WHAT WE WERE SINGING.

YEAH!

PLEASE TELL US MORE ABOUT THE RAMAYANA, MARCO.

OKAY.

WHAT ARE THOSE, MARCO?

DID I MENTION THE RAMAYANA IS ALSO A PUPPET SHOW?

THERE ONCE WAS A BRAVE PRINCE, RAMA.

AS OLDEST SON OF THE KING,

RAMA WAS NEXT IN LINE FOR THE THRONE.

BUT THE KING HAD PROMISED HIS NEW WIFE,

RAMA'S STEPMOTHER,

THAT HE WOULD GRANT HER TWO WISHES.

SHE WISHED THAT HER SON, BHARATA,

WOULD BE KING INSTEAD OF RAMA.

THE KING HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO OBEY.

SO RAMA WAS BANISHED TO THE DANDAKA FOREST

FOR 14 YEARS.

RAMA'S WIFE, SITA,

AND HIS OTHER BROTHER, LAKSHMANA,

WENT WITH HIM BECAUSE THEY WERE LOYAL TO HIM

AND DIDN'T WANT HIM TO BE ALONE.

HMM.

MOUSELINA WAS BANISHED TO THE FOREST

BY HER STEPMOTHER TOO.

I GET IT!

THE RAMAYANA'S A FAIRY TALE.

IT'S A LOT MORE THAN THAT.

IT'S ABOUT FRIENDS WHO STAND BY YOU NO MATTER WHAT.

IT'S ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING

AND NEVER GIVING UP.

IT IS A GOOD STORY, MARCO.

I'LL GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY.

ME TOO.

I WILL TOO.

THANKS.

AND MAYBE IT WILL BE EASIER

IF WE TAKE IT ONE WORD AT A TIME.

* PRAVISHYA *

( Off-Key ) * PRAVISHYA *

NO, NO.

* TU MAHAARANYAM *

( Off-Key ) * TU MAHAARANYAM *

( Sighs )

I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE REALLY TRYING,

BUT MAYBE THIS SONG IS JUST TOO HARD.

I GUESS WE SHOULD JUST DO "MOUSELINA" AFTER ALL.

I FEEL SO BAD FOR MARCO.

HE REALLY WANTED TO DO THAT SONG.

I KNOW.

BUT WE'RE JUST GONNA MESS IT UP.

I DON'T THINK MARCO WOULD WANT THAT.

( Gasps ) UH-OH.

HE LEFT HIS BACKPACK.

DO YOU THINK HE'D MIND IF I READ HIS RAMAYANA COMIC BOOK?

I'M STILL WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED

AFTER RAMA GOT TO THE FOREST.

I DON'T THINK HE'D MIND IF YOU'RE CAREFUL.

( Gasps )

WHAT? WHAT HAPPENS?

THE EVIL RAAVANA TAKES RAMA'S WIFE, SITA,

FROM THE FOREST.

AND THEN WHAT?

I'LL SHOW YOU.

(* Sitar & Drums )

RAMA GOT HELP FROM HANUMAN, THE SON OF THE WIND GOD.

HANUMAN HAD SUPERPOWERS.

HE FLEW ACROSS THE SEA AND FOUND SITA.

RAMA COULDN'T FLY, BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP HIM.

HE BUILT A BRIDGE ACROSS THE SEA

TO RESCUE SITA AND DEFEAT RAAVANA.

RAMA RETURNED HOME AND WAS CROWNED KING.

HE RULED WISELY AND WELL FOR MANY YEARS.

THAT WAS STUPENDOUS!

"MOUSELINA" DOESN'T HAVE THE SON OF THE WIND GOD.

OR A BRIDGE ACROSS THE SEA.

THE RAMAYANA'S A GREAT STORY.

AND IT'S GREAT TO HAVE FRIENDS WHO STAND BY YOU

NO MATTER WHAT, LIKE RAMA DID.

WE CAN BE FRIENDS LIKE THAT TOO.

THE RAMAYANA'S ALSO ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING

AND NEVER GIVING UP.

YEAH.

IF RAMA CAN BUILD A BRIDGE ACROSS THE SEA,

THEN WE CAN CERTAINLY LEARN THIS SONG.

WE WANT TO SURPRISE MARCO BY SINGING THE RAMAYANA SONG,

BUT WE NEED HELP.

YOU'VE GOT IT!

I CAN EVEN SHOW YOU

SOME INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE MOVES

TO GO WITH THE SONG.

(* Sitar & Drums )

WOW.

THAT LOOKS SO GRACEFUL.

MARCO WILL LOVE THIS.

WE'LL MAKE HIM FEEL LIKE HE'S BACK IN INDIA AGAIN.

REMEMBER, DON'T TELL HIM WHAT WE'RE UP TO.

PRETEND WE'RE STILL DOING "MOUSELINA."

( Laughter )

(* Flute & Drums )

(* Indian Music )

WE'RE GETTING IT.

WE JUST NEEDED TO TRY HARDER AND NOT GIVE UP.

LIKE RAMA.

LET'S TRY THAT PART AGAIN.

READING THE RAMAYANA AGAIN?

YEAH.

WELL, I'VE GOT A LOT OF TIME BEFORE I GO ONSTAGE.

I WOULDN'T BE SO SURE ABOUT THAT.

WELCOME, EVERYONE.

TODAY WE'RE BRINGING YOU A SONG FROM A WONDERFUL STORY

LOVED ALL AROUND THE WORLD FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

"MOUSELINA."

THE RAMAYA FROM INDIA.

WHAT?

WHAT?

SURPRISE! ( Giggles )

(* Indian Music )

All: * RAMAYANA *

* RAMAYANA *

* HEAR THE TALE OF RAMA

* AATMAVAAN

* MAN OF COURAGE

* AATMAVAAN *

* RAMA

* DURDARSA

* HE'S A HERO

* NONE CAN MATCH KING RAMA

THAT INDIAN DANCE LOOKS FUN

AND A NICE CHANGE FROM "MOUSELINA."

(* Sitar )

All: * RAMAYANA *

* RAMAYANA *

* RAMAYANA *

( Laughing ) GOOD SINGING.

IT'S EASY.

All: * RAMAYANA *

* RAMAYANA *

* RAMA *

* RAMAYANA. *
