    Christmas is coming to Chipping Chedar, and once again Mr Operatski is putting
    together the cast of dancers for the annual musical. Angelina mouse is desperate
    to play the lead role in 'Cinderella Mouse and the Ugly Whiskers'. But what's this?
    Mr Operatski has given Priscilla the plum role instead. And what's more, Angelina
    has been saddled with the part of Wicked Stepmouse!
  
    Sensitive Angelina isn't one to hold her temper and she complains loudly about
    the casting to all and sundry. But the foolish girl lets her temper get the better of
    her and she quickly finds herself dismissed from the production altogether. Miss
    Lilly helpfully steps into to Angelina's shoes, but she in turn is unintentionally
    injured by the girl during a winter toboggan race and that puts the entire school
    production in jeopardy. What on earth is to de done? Will Angelina learn some
    humility and rectify her wrongdoings, or will she become the outcast of the school?
    What ever happens, the show must go on!...

    Angelina gets the feature-length treatment here in a video-special. There's not
    much one can add except to say that, if you love the series, then you'll no doubt
    love this production too. Both the series and film remain remarkably faithful to
    the original, with Helen Craig's artwork leaping, pirouetting, and tobogganing
    off the page and in to life...
