Description:

A charming story of friendship and girl power pits the pint-sized Madeline against a couple of upper crust crooks, while underscoring the importance of integrity and loyalty. The tale begins in Paris when Miss Clavel (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg) escorts her boarding school girls to the Louvre museum. Captivated by Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa," the fearless and feisty Madeline lingers behind, and becomes the sole witness to an attempted robbery of the rare painting. When she raises a ruckus, the crooks flee and Madeline is left to take the blame for the catastrophe. Banished to a London finishing school as punishment, Madeline goes undercover to expose the thieves, while her best pals get to work in Paris--"intent on finding the truth, 11 girls go out to sleuth." Based on author Ludwig Bemelman's familiar style, the animated film is entirely in rhyme, accompanied by a handful of toe-tappin' tunes. (Ages 3 to 10) --Lynn Gibson
