Theme: Dancing In Character
Angelina In The Wings
Miss Lilly's students are
delighted when she announces that the famous Madame Zizi will return to
the Theatre Royal in a production of "The Sun Queen." Even
more exciting is the news that one of the little sunbeams has the mouse
pox, so they will all audition for the role! The Pinkpaws twins get
sick, clearing the way for Angelina. But when Madame Zizi sees little
Henry, she pronounces him the perfect sunbeam - despite his total lack
of experience. Angelina is cast as his understudy and told to help Henry
learn his steps. Angelina does all she can to prove her worth, hoping
that room will be made for one more sunbeam. She dances superbly in
rehearsal and waits on Madame Zizi hand and foot, but totally neglects
poor Henry. Then she overhears Madame Zizi and Mr. Popov, the director,
deciding to fire the hapless Henry. Realizing it's her fault, she begs
them to give him one more chance and coaches Henry until he's perfect.
Just before the performance, another sunbeam comes down with the mouse
pox - and there is a part for Angelina after all! The performance is a
huge success - which more than makes up for them both catching the mouse
pox immediately afterwards!
Arthur The Butterfly
During a picnic in the
woods, Angelina comes across a beautiful pink butterfly with a broken
leg and decides to take it home until it gets better. She names him
Arthur and, with her parents' help, stuffs an old jar with leaves and
flowers for him to live in. Arthur quickly recovers, but Angelina
refuses to release her beloved, fragile pet back into the wild. When
Henry accidentally lets him go, Arthur disappears. The mouselings return
to the woods to find him, and Angelina spies something pink perched on
some vines. Unfortunately, she doesn't see the pit underneath and
tumbles in. Henry tries to pull her out but manages to fall in as well.
As night falls, the cold, frightened pair discovers how horrible it is
to be kept apart from their homes and families. A search party is
organized in the village, but there's no trace of Angelina or Henry.
Then Alice spies Arthur, who leads them to the trapped mouselings. The
next day, Arthur visits Angelina. But instead of recapturing him, having
learned how important freedom is, she lets him fly away among a cloud of
beautiful butterflies.
Theme: Working In Pairs
The Gift
It's Christmas. Angelina is
admiring a lovely snow dome in Miss Lilly's studio and looking forward
to giving her the present she's spent all week making - a picture she
has painted. When the Pinkpaws twins reveal they've bought Miss Lilly an
expensive necklace, Angelina is convinced her gift will seem cheap in
comparison. Angelina scours the shops for a suitable present and comes
across an ornate hat that she thinks would be perfect - but she can't
afford it. She earns enough money to buy the hat, but it has already
been sold! At the party, Angelina hides her present for Miss Lilly
behind the Christmas tree. Penelope spitefully points out Angelina's
gift to Miss Lilly, who opens it and is thrilled. She immediately puts
it up on the studio wall and tells Angelina how much it means because a
homemade present comes from the heart. After the party, a happy Angelina
asks if she can open Miss Lilly's present to her. It's the beautiful
snow dome!
Treasure Tandems
There's a treasure hunt in
Chipping Cheddar, and all the young mouselings hope to win first prize -
a brand new, shiny red tandem bike. Tandems are loaned to the three
pairs of contestants: Angelina and Alice, William and Henry, and the
Pinkpaws twins. As William and Henry struggle along (Henry can't
actually reach the pedals!), the race turns into a contest between
Angelina and Alice and the twins. Angelina takes revenge on the twins
for cheating by leading them through the woods into a muddy puddle. The
battle climaxes when Priscilla and Penelope, trying to nudge Angelina
and Alice out of the way on the hill up to the finish, careen out of
control and end up in the river. The heroines bravely manage to rescue
them and race to the prize. With the help of a jumpstart, the twins
cross the line in front, but their joy is short-lived - the slow and
steady William and Henry have beaten them to the finish!
Theme: The Importance Of
Practice
Miss Lilly Comes to Dinner
Angelina is thrilled
because Miss Lilly is coming to dinner, and her mother has made one of
her famous cheese pies! The Pinkpaws twins react with scorn, pointing
out that Miss Lilly has very sophisticated tastes. Only the night
before, she was eating Corn Royale with their mother at the elegant
Mouseski Restaurant! A worried Angelina persuades her mother to serve
Corn Royale rather than her delicious pie, and then dashes off to the
library to find a recipe, two books on Dacovian history and Dacovian
sheet music. Tempers start to fray when Angelina strips the garden of
her mother's favorite roses for an elaborate centerpiece and insists Mr.
Mouseling practice Dacovian polkas on his fiddle. When Miss Lilly
arrives things go from bad to worse. Embarrassed that Miss Lilly hasn't
eaten any of her cucumber soup, Mrs. Mouseling asks Angelina to fetch
the piéce de resistance - the Corn Royale. But as Angelina places the
huge dish on the sideboard, it topples to the floor! She runs to her
room in tears, convinced the evening is a disaster. Miss Lilly comes to
console her and explains that she didn't dare eat the soup - cucumbers
give her hiccups - and that she's had enough of Corn Royale and boring
Dacovian politics. But she'd love a slice of Mrs. Mouseling's cheese
pie. Soon, everyone is dancing to one of Mr. Mouseling's jolly fiddle
tunes - and having a wonderful time!
The Lucky Penny
Angelina is desperate to
see the film of "The Swan Princess" with Alice and Henry, but
she has an important audition, and her steps are not yet perfect. She
decides to stay behind and practice - until she finds a penny in a
puddle and convinces herself it will bring her good luck. Then disaster
strikes - Angelina loses her lucky penny. When Priscilla scornfully
makes it clear that she will win the part, Angelina realizes that luck
has nothing to do with it - it's talent that will win the day. She
spends all night practicing and arrives at the audition in an optimistic
mood. She is even more confident when Henry presents her with her lucky
penny. The audition goes wonderfully, and Angelina is chosen - only to
discover that the penny Henry gave her was just an ordinary old coin
from his collection at home!
Theme: Expressing Emotion
in Dance
Midnight Muddle
Angelina and Alice are
preparing to spend the night in a tent in Angelina's garden. As Mrs.
Hodgepodge tends her prize-winning cauliflower, Sammy arrives via a
shortcut on his bike and taunts Angelina and Alice about the ghost of
Old Red Whiskers that haunts those parts. Settling into their tent for
the night, Angelina gleefully tells Alice his story - suddenly, ghostly
noises paralyze Alice with fear. Pandemonium breaks out when Angelina
and Alice venture into the garden and mistake a sheet hanging on a
clothesline for the dreaded ghost. In their flight to safety, they
accidentally trample Mrs. Hodgepodge's cauliflower! The next morning,
Sammy cycles by and is assumed to be the culprit. He is punished,
leading a guilt-ridden Angelina and Alice to try and make amends, but
all their attempts to get Sammy out of trouble backfire. Angelina
finally realizes she must confess and is put to work in Mrs Hodgepodge's
garden as penance. But when Sammy turns up to taunt her and reveals he
was the "ghost," Mrs. Hodgepodge overhears and puts him to
work with Angelina! The one good thing to come out of the midnight
muddle is that Mrs. Hodgepodge wins first prize with her ruined
cauliflower after all - with her cauliflower cheese!
Miss Lilly Is Leaving
Alice overhears Miss Lilly
tell Mrs. Thimble that she is going away. Angelina doesn't believe her -
until she hears it, too. The rumor spreads like wildfire through the
ballet school, and it seems the mouselings' worst fears are confirmed
when they overhear Miss Lilly discussing her trip over the telephone.
When Angelina mobilizes her friends and classmates, they compliment,
help and do favors for Miss Lilly to prove how much she is loved and
appreciated, but to no avail. Angelina despairs - but then an idea
strikes her. As Miss Lilly walks along the station platform to catch her
train, Angelina and William appear out of the steam, dancing a
beautiful, romantic ballet, flanked by Priscilla, Penelope and Alice.
Miss Lilly is delighted - but she still intends to leave! Desperate,
Angelina declares that she wants to go with her beloved teacher.
"Such a long journey for such a short weekend," Miss Lilly
replies in surprise - much to Angelina's relief!
Theme: Making Costumes From
Things You Can Find At Home
Angelina And Grandma
Angelina is looking forward
to tomorrow's dress rehearsal for her latest ballet - even more so when
Miss Lilly entrusts her with the tutu she herself wore as a young mouse.
That night, Angelina's aunt calls with news that her baby is on its way.
Angelina's parents go to be with her, dropping Angelina off at her
grandparents' house. Angelina excitedly shows off her tutu - but when
she hugs Grandma goodnight, it rips! Grandma promises a tearful Angelina
that she'll mend it in the morning. But the next day turns out to be
very busy, as Grandma prepares for a friend's birthday party. By the
time the guests arrive, the tutu is still not mended! Then disaster
strikes - Grandpa has left the birthday cake out in the rain, and
Grandma, thinking it's Angelina's fault, sends her to her room. Upset,
Angelina sneaks out of the house and heads to Miss Lilly's for the dress
rehearsal. When Grandma discovers her mistake, she and Grandpa rush over
to the studio to apologize. Back home, they have such a lovely time
together that when Angelina's parents call, she begs to stay a while
longer!
Angelina The Mouse
Detective
Angelina just can't put
down her new book - the latest adventure of Monty the Mouse Detective.
So when she, Alice and Henry hear that several garden gnomes have been
stolen in the village, it's the perfect debut case for Angelina!
Unfortunately, sleuthing is not as easy as Monty makes it seem. When at
last it appears they are on the right trail, they discover to their
embarrassment that they've made erroneous assumptions. However, when
some mysterious wheelbarrow tracks lead Angelina to Mrs. Hodgepodge's
garden, she hears curious noises coming from the shed … the thief is
Mrs. Hodgepodge herself! Her shed has become a workshop full of gnomes
of all sizes, which she confesses she has "borrowed" from
their owners in order to clean and repair them - the state they're
allowed to get into is shocking! Angelina agrees to make it their little
secret. The next day, the villagers are baffled to find that all their
gnomes have been returned, looking just like new!
Theme: Pirouetting
Angelina At The Fair
The fair is in town, and
Angelina, Alice and William can't wait to ride the scariest roller
coaster in the whole of Mouseland! Unfortunately, Angelina's mother
insists she take her young cousin Henry - who just wants to go on the
merry-go-round. Henry is frightened of the Big Wheel and terrified in
the Haunted House. A grumpy Angelina is forced to stay with Henry while
Alice and William have the time of their lives. Finally, she decides to
deposit Henry in front of a clown show and gleefully joins her friends
on the roller coaster. Meanwhile, Henry sets off after a beautiful blue
balloon he sees floating by. When Angelina finally returns to the clown
show, she is devastated to find Henry missing. The mouselings search for
him everywhere. Angelina finds him just as he is about to capture the
balloon, which sails off into the sky. She is so pleased that he is safe
that she agrees to go on the merry-go-round with him - and buys him a
big blue balloon with the money she had saved to buy herself a treat!
The Ballet Tickets
Angelina is desperate to
see her ballet heroes, Mimi and Mikel Whiskersev, perform at the Theatre
Royal. But the Pinkpaws twins manage to buy the very last tickets!
Angelina is distraught. After several attempts at obtaining tickets
fail, she gives up and returns home in tears. Mrs. Mouseling sees how
unhappy she is and makes a phone call to her husband at the newspaper.
When he arrives home, Angelina tells him her tale of woe - only to see
him produce three tickets on the condition she does a job for him later.
Angelina is ecstatic, and she and Alice watch a wonderful performance
from the front row. After the show is over, her father reminds her she
still has a job to do - to interview her heroes for the Mouseland
Gazette! Reading her very first newspaper story the next morning,
Angelina wonders whether she might be a great reporter as well as a
great ballerina when she grows up.
Theme: Dancing In Costume
Two Mice In A Boat
Angelina is desperate to
win first prize at the boat-decorating carnival - her father won it four
times when he was a mouseling. However, she is distraught when she is
paired with Sammy instead of Alice. Angelina wants to build a Swan
Princess boat, but Sammy has already drawn up plans for a Pirate
Galleon. Alice and Henry decide to make a candy boat, covered with their
favorite sweets. Eventually, Angelina and Sammy each agree to decorate
half the boat, but when they try it out on the stream, it's so heavy
that it starts to sink! Working together for the first time, they manage
to haul themselves ashore. Their boat, however, is a wreck. Then, the
timely arrival of Mr. Ratchett in his crane starts them thinking. The
carnival is almost at an end. Suddenly, over the hill appears the Pirate
Princess, hanging from the crane hook, with Angelina in a muddy tiara
and Sammy holding a branch for a cutlass. Despite their grand entrance
they don't win first prize - the prize goes to Alice and Henry. They do,
however, win the prize for best teamwork, something Mr. Mouseling never
managed with his partner - Sammy's dad!
The Costume Ball
Angelina is desperate to
attend the village costume ball, but she's too young. Even worse, Mrs.
Hodgepodge is coming to babysit for her and Alice - and she always
brings her horrid cabbage jelly. After their unpleasant supper, Angelina
and Alice play dress-up in the bedroom, and Angelina persuades Alice
that they should go to the ball. While Mrs. Hodgepodge sleeps, the two
sneak out of the cottage and head to the village hall. They struggle
into their dresses, with Angelina sitting on Alice's shoulders, wearing
a hat and a feather boa. Once they are inside, Alice peeks out and is
thrilled by the gorgeous food, but Angelina won't let her eat because
she's desperate to dance - but no one asks her. In fact, the pair spends
most of their time trying to avoid discovery! Angelina finally gets to
dance during the famous Whiskers Waltz. Suddenly the doors are thrown
open - it's Mrs. Hodgepodge in search of the runaways. The next day, the
two mouselings get an insight into what it's like to be grown up enough
to go to the ball - they have to tidy up the hall!

The Legend Of Big Paw
Angelina and Henry are
camping in the Black Cat Hills with Grandpa and their fathers, Maurice
and Louis. Grandpa tells about the time his sons lost his favorite war
medal, which was named after the brave, but now missing, Colonel
Furforth, in those very hills. They claim they lost the medal as they
were chased by the legendary Big Paw, a fearsome black cat said to stalk
the hills. The following morning, Angelina sets off before the others
awake to find Grandpa's medal. Henry follows her to try and get a photo
of Big Paw, and he causes trouble almost immediately when his camera
rolls down a slope. After they recover it, Angelina realizes they are
lost, and then they start to see evidence that Big Paw may not be just a
legend. Huge pawprints abound. And when several loud "meows"
echo around the hills, the pair flees to a small cave. They're trapped!
Then a rugged old mouse appears and rescues them. It's Colonel Furforth
- and he's wearing Grandpa's medal! He was the one making the meows and
footprints; he's been hunting Big Paw for years. They return to camp,
where Grandpa is honored to meet his hero and lets him keep the medal in
thanks for saving his grandchildren. When they return home, Henry's
photos are developed. Is that really a cat's shadow outside the cave?
The Ballerina Rag Doll
Angelina is delighted when
Miss Lilly asks her to help with the beginners' ballet class. As she and
Alice are buying sweets to celebrate, Mrs. Thimble tells them that she's
collecting old toys to sell for charity. Angelina is feeling very grown
up, so she and Alice look for things to donate. They find a well-loved
rag doll called Polka that Angelina decides is too babyish to keep. The
next day, leafing through a photo album, Grandpa spots a picture of
Polka. He won her for Angelina at the fair and reminds her that she said
she'd never, ever let Polka go. Angelina drags Alice back to the shop,
but Polka has gone. They put posters up around town, and Angelina knocks
on people's doors in hopes of finding her doll. Angelina is so
devastated that not even helping Miss Lilly cheers her up - until she
spots a shy little mouseling named Mary tightly clutching Polka in her
arms! Angelina is about to ask for her doll back when she realizes how
important Polka has become to Mary. She uses Polka to encourage Mary to
dance, with quiet congratulations from Miss Lilly. Mary decides that
she'll call the doll Angelina. Angelina is delighted - even more so when
Grandpa tells her how proud he is of her.
Theme: Folk Dancing
The Cheese Ball Cup
On his way to dance class,
Sammy teases William and the other boys for dancing ballet rather than
playing a proper game like Cheese Ball. Embarrassed, William decides to
give up ballet and joins the Chipping Cheddar Cheese Ball team in time
for the Cup Final. A shocked Angelina goes to find out what made him
give up something he loves. When she sees that William is hopeless at
Cheese Ball and might get hurt, Angelina comes up with a plan: William
can offer to be the team's reserve - that way he won't have to play!
It's the perfect solution, until Sammy arrives with a sprained ankle.
William is on the team! Against the mighty Brown Hill Bullets, William
is getting bashed all over the place. But when Sammy taunts him saying,
"You should stick to dancing!,"Angelina realizes there is one
way William can overcome the Bullets: by using his ballet training! With
Angelina encouraging him from the sidelines, William pirouettes and
leaps towards a momentous victory for Chipping Cheddar. Time for ballet
lessons for Sammy and the team!
Angelina And Anya
Angelina and Alice are
searching for blackberries in the field when Angelina bumps into a young
harvest mouse, who runs away before she can introduce herself. At school
the next day, Angelina finds herself seated next to the mouseling, Anya.
Her family has come from Dacovia to help with the harvest and is camping
in a field outside the village. Angelina is friendly, but several of her
classmates, incited by the Pinkpaw twins, call Anya names and accuse her
of stealing all the blackberries. Angelina doesn't stick up for her, but
the following day when Anya isn't in school, Angelina goes to the camp
to apologize. Anya and her family are very welcoming, and Anya shows her
a Dacovian dance. When Anya's mother apologizes for not having any
blackberry jam to serve with tea, Angelina realizes her new friends
couldn't be the culprits. Anya tells her she saw a lady wearing a
flowery scarf picking them. The two mouselings find the scarf near the
blackberry bushes, and Angelina is triumphant - if she finds its owner,
they have their thief! At that moment, the Pinkpaws twins turn up and
accuse Anya of stealing their mother's scarf. At the Chipping Cheddar
fundraising fair, it's not Mrs. Pinkpaws' burnt blackberry jam that
makes money for the school, but it's Anya and Angelina's Dacovian
dancing extravaganza.

The Gymnastics Championship
Angelina is buying an ice
cream when Alice bursts in and excitedly tells Angelina she's been
selected for the All Mouseland Gymnastics Championships, judged by her
heroine, the famous gymnast Olga Mousekovic! Alice is a wonderful
gymnast, but she has lost her confidence in the beam event since she
sprained her tail. To make matters worse, the twins' cousin Fennella is
entering the competition - and it's her strongest event. On the day of
the championships, Alice and Fennella are even throughout, and the final
event is the beam. Stung by the twins' taunting, Alice decides to sneak
out of the hall without competing. She comes across Olga, who tells her
that when she was a mouseling, she too almost gave up when she broke her
paw. But she persevered, and look at her now! When Alice returns to the
hall and gives the performance of her life on the beam, she is crowned
champion! As she receives the trophy, she discovers she has also won a
place at the Gymnastics Academy, which would mean leaving home. Angelina
is very supportive but sad to see Alice go. Suddenly, Alice appears and
reveals that she's not going to the Academy after all - she'd miss her
family and friends too much!
Angelina's Baby Sister
Angelina is at ballet class
when she is called home - she has a new baby sister, Polly! Angelina is
thrilled until, all too soon, it becomes clear that babies can be as
nuisance a well as a delight. Her parents can't come to her end of term
show, where Angelina wins a china ballerina for being "Most
Promising Dancer." What's worse, when she gets home they are so
busy with little Polly that they don't even look at her prize. Even the
baby doesn't have time for her - she cries when Angelina tries to hold
her and then knocks over the china doll and breaks it. Angry and upset,
Angelina decides she's going to go live with her grandparents. But then
at once they arrive; they have come to see the new baby! Angelina rushes
to her room where she throws a tantrum. Her banging and crashing make
Polly start to cry. Mrs. Mouseling fetches Angelina downstairs and
explains that they love Angelina just as much as before - but that now
they all have Polly to love as well. Her grandparents ask Angelina to
dance as she did at the show. To her delight, Angelina's dancing stops
Polly's tears, and she reaches out to Angelina. For the first time,
Angelina decides that Polly is a "Most Promising New Sister"
after all!
Theme: Jumping And Leaping
Angelina's Surprise
At Miss Lilly's ballet
studio, a tree-climbing contest is in progress. Angelina, of course,
climbs the highest but, just as she reaches the top of the tree, her
friends' attention is distracted by the arrival of the Pinkpaws twins
and their new baby brother. To make matters worse, Alice reneges on her
promise to go to the park after class, preferring to help look after the
new baby. Before she knows what she's doing, a jealous Angelina declares
that her family is going to have a baby too! She immediately realizes
the enormity of her lie, but when she tries to confess to Alice, her
best friend reveals that a party has been organized to welcome the new
arrival. Angelina attempts to tell her parents what she's done, but they
are both too preoccupied to hear her. In desperation, Angelina pretends
to hurt her ankle, but Dr. Tuttle quickly declares that it's strong
enough to cope with such a jolly outing. Reluctantly, Angelina
accompanies Mr. and Mrs. Mouseling to the party - and blurts out the
truth to the assembled throng. Suddenly, she realizes that the party is
for the new Pinkpaws baby! Angelina is mortified - but her embarrassment
turns to delight that night when her mother tells her that one day she
will have a new baby too.
The Rose Fairy Princess
Miss Lilly is auditioning
for her new production of "The Rose Fairy Princess," and
Angelina is desperate to dance the lead. Penelope and Priscilla Pinkpaws
try to sabotage her efforts, but Angelina wins the role! Angelina is
thrilled, until she discovers that the finale involves her flying across
the stage on a single wire! The normally fearless Angelina is terrified
at the prospect. She enlists a circus trapeze artist to coach her - but
even that doesn't help. Eventually, she asks Alice to swap places with
her, but Alice misses her cue. Angelina is left with no option but to
grit her teeth and take flight, only to discover she loves flying and
can't wait to do it again!

Alice's Present
Alice gives Angelina an
unbirthday present - a beautiful handmade gym bag. But then they
discover that gym class has been canceled since the equipment is no
longer safe. Alice suggests that the two put on a gym display at a
village festival to buy new equipment. But disaster strikes when
Angelina accidentally leaves her gift at the Pinkpaws' used-goods stand.
When she realizes it's missing, Angelina is horrified. Meanwhile, Alice
has seen the twins with the bag and thinks Angelina doesn't like her
gift, so she storms off. The situation worsens until it seems it's all
over between the two friends. On the day of the fundraiser, Angelina
prepares to perform a solo ballet show, while Alice warms up nearby for
her gym display. Angelina realizes Henry has forgotten to bring a bag to
collect the donations, and he is sent to the twins' stand where he buys
the bag Alice gave to Angelina! They quickly realize what has happened
and make up. Together they perform a wonderful gym-ballet show to the
delight of the crowd.
No Match For Angelina
It's winter and Angelina
and her friends are playing Icepuck on Millar's Pond. Angelina is easily
the most skillful - she has a special trick shot that is practically
unstoppable. When the coach, Mr. Watts, announces that Chipping Cheddar
has been asked to enter a team in the Icepuck League, Angelina gleefully
goes to sign up. But she is devastated to be told that girls aren't
allowed to play! Upset, Angelina runs home and finds her father's old
Icepuck uniform - and has a brilliant idea. A hugely talented stranger
called "Andy" arrives and successfully auditions for the team.
On match day, "Andy" proves to be Chipping Cheddar's star
player and by halftime, the team is winning comfortably. Unfortunately,
"Andy's" helmet slips off in the dressing room, and Angelina's
secret is out. The coach is obliged to replace her with William, the
reserve. The team quickly loses momentum, and all seems lost until, in
the final minute, they are awarded a penalty shot that could win the
game. Angelina's trick shot is their only chance. The coach brings
"Andy" back on, but before taking the shot, Angelina takes off
her helmet, revealing her true identity. The crowd roars for her - and
she scores! She becomes the local hero, not just for winning the match,
but also for exposing the foolishness of the no-girls rule. Who knows
what's next - perhaps she'll run for President of Mouseland?
Theme: The Big Performance
Angelina's Valentine
It's Valentine's Day, and
Angelina has made cards for all her favorite people. William, too, is
sending a Valentine - but he is too shy to deliver it to Angelina's
door. Meanwhile Sammy, who is rehearsing with his old yo-yo for the
school competition, spots Angelina playing with her sparkling new yo-yo
and sees a way to persuade her to loan it to him. He offers to deliver
William's Valentine - and lets Angelina believe it's from him. When this
doesn't sway Angelina, Sammy convinces William to get her a bigger gift.
This time, William buys a pretty posy for Angelina, which Sammy (of
course) delivers. Angelina melts and agrees to let Sammy borrow her
yo-yo for the competition, leaving Sammy delighted - but poor William
can't understand why Angelina hasn't at least said thank you. As Sammy
shows off his yo-yoing skills in the school playground, Angelina finds
out from Henry that her gifts actually came from William. She marches up
to Sammy and demands that he recite the verse that was in her Valentine
card. As Sammy stammers, William, realizing what has happened, recites
his poem for Angelina, who takes her yo-yo back, leaving Sammy humbled.
As the episode ends, we see William also receiving a Valentine's card -
but who could possibly have sent it?
The Royal Banquet
Dr. Tuttle is at Angelina's
house telling the rapt Mouseling family about his impending hot air
balloon ride. He'll be able to see for miles from up there! Suddenly,
Miss Lilly bursts in and explains that Angelina has been requested to
dance at the Royal Banquet for her old friend Queen Seraphina and
Princess Valentine! Angelina is thrilled, especially when her mother
makes her an exquisite outfit for the performance. Angelina and Miss
Lilly set off by train - Miss Lilly regaling Angelina with stories from
her childhood until the train suddenly grinds to a halt. Miss Lilly
decides it will be quicker to make their way to the palace cross-country
but unfortunately, this turns out to be easier said than done. They get
lost, soaked, and bedraggled, and Angelina's beautiful dress is ruined.
All seems lost - until Dr. Tuttle spots them from his balloon and gives
them a lift to the palace! Miss Lilly and Angelina are welcomed warmly,
and Princess Valentine manages to find Angelina another dress from her
very own wardrobe. The performance goes without a hitch - Angelina is
the toast of Mouseland!
