Plot
At the beginning of the movie, there is a song called "Front Row Seats (Home of Ballet)" performed by Angelina Mouseling.

On a cold snowy day in the quiet country in Tulsa, Oklahoma, an imaginative 8-year-old girl named Dorothy Anne Elaine “Mary” Calhoun (Haley Charles) is practicing her violin for her school concert, but her dad, Rupert Calhoun (Albert Brooks) tells her the concert is cancelled because it's his birthday, so she and her family are moving to New York City and they must put on a surprise musical show for him at the New York World's Fair called Hoop-Dee-Doo! instead. He gives Mary five tickets for a trip to the fair in New York City and he has to go on a business trip. When her dad is away, Mary gets the tickets, takes them to her bedroom, cooks dinner and goes to sleep.

Later that night, when Mary wishes that she could play her violin in the concert, her two mouseling dolls, Angelina Mouseling (voiced by Charlotte Spencer), her best friend Alice Nimbletoes (Naomi McDonald), their new friend Carlo (Aidan Gemme) and her talking dog and other best friend, Dodger (Wayne Brady), help her realize her dreams to come true. But the next morning, with her imagination when she makes Angelina and Alice come to life, they accidentally break Mary’s old favorite chair and say, "Oof!" Mary shouts, "Angelina! Alice! You're alive!" Then the two mouselings giggle and shout, "Hello there, Mary!" Mary feels scared and says, "Oh, no!" Alice asks, "What is it?" Angelina asks, "What's wrong?" Mary says, "My daddy says that my school concert is cancelled and it's his birthday so I can put on a show with you and all your friends for him." Angelina says, "We've got ten tickets to the New York World's Fair! Five for you and five for me!" and Alice says, "And here are yours!" But Mary says, "No, I don't want them any more." Angelina says, "We thought playing your violin at the fair was your dream." Mary says, "I know, but playing my violin infront of all these people is too scary and I'm really nervous!" Alice says, "Oh, it's okay to be scared, Mary. Calm down, just take a deep breath in and let it out." And Angelina says, "Don't worry, Mary. You'll be fine and always have a friend on your side and have fun together." And Alice says, "And we can sing together." They sing a song, "Our Own Show (At the Fair)." Mary feels much better. Dodger joins the three and pack up for their move to the city, grabbed their tickets ripped the wallpaper off the wall revealing a giant secret door to New York City and headed through the door.

On their way to the city, the four sing "We're Off to New York City." When the four get there, they see a gate to the fair, they open it by saying the magic password "Cheese, please!" They go through the gates and give their tickets to Lucy (now an adult, portrayed by Angelina Jolie), the ticket seller and meet their friends, Marco (Jules de Jongh), Gracie (Jo Wyatt), Viki (Hilary Duff), A.Z. (Justin Bieber), their teacher, Ms. Mimi (Judith Mason), Angelina's mum and dad, Maurice (James McAvoy) and Matilda (Emily Blunt), Angelina's 4-year-old sister, Polly (Leah Zabari), Mrs. Thimble (Beverly Klein), and even their new friends, Dave (John Legend), Paul (Ryan Gosling), Jeanie (Prudence Alcott) and Rudolf (Corbin Bleu) in which Dodger befriends a female talking dog named Martha (Tabitha St. Germain) except the two mean cats Jinkquade (Peter Mullan) and Aldoof (Orlando Bloom), they are in a haunted castle and Meowcent (Frances McDormand) is working in an art museum making sculptures. Angelina says, "We want to put on a surprise Hoop-Dee-Doo! show for her dad's birthday." And Alice says, "But we don't know what to do!"

They take a tour of the fair, play games, win prizes, ride the carousel, have lunch at a hot dog stand and go shopping for clothes, food and stuff for Mr. Calhoun's birthday show while singing “The Grande Tour.” Then they checked into each room and share them at the Grand Hotel. One is for Mary, Dodger, Martha, Angelina and Alice, the other is for Marco, Gracie, Viki and A.Z., the other is for Mr. and Mrs. Mouseling and Polly, the other is for Ms. Mimi, and the other for Carlo, Jeanie, Dave and Paul. Then they have dinner during the song “What’s Cooking?” and go to bed while Angelina and Alice sing "Just Imagine With Us.”

The next morning, Ms. Mimi says, "On Friday, you're going to put on a big birthday show, Hoop-Dee-Doo!, for Mary’s dad, Mr. Rupert Calhoun!" Everyone cheers. So the students perform lots of songs and dances on and play games on “We Love Games!” After that, Ms. Mimi leads them to the dance studio and the students pick out lots of fancy costumes for the show in the song "Dress Up." Mary gets a white dress and tights, a white hair ribbon and black shoes, Angelina picks out a blue fairy costume (a sparkly light blue tanktop leotard and tutu, ballet slippers, a silver locket shaped like a heart, fairy wings, white tights and a silver tiara), Alice picks out a fancy navy blue dress with a white collar, a light blue neckerchief just like Poppy's, a navy blue hair ribbon, navy blue ballet slippers and white tights, Marco picks out a white long-sleeved button-down shirt, black pants and black shoes, Gracie gets a tap dancing outfit (a silver tanktop and headband, black long leggings and tap shoes), Viki with a pink dress and ballet slippers and purple long leggings, A.Z. with a hip-hop outfit (a black shirt, jeans, baseball cap, sneakers and gold chains), Ms. Mimi with a red dress, headband, long leggings and black ballet slippers, Carlo with black button-down shirt, black pants and black shoes and black hat, Jeanie with purple long-sleeved gown, ballet slippers and a golden tiara, Rudolf with a grey sparkly button-down shirt, blue jeans, green sneakers and black shades, Dave and Paul in fancy suits and Dodger and Martha in black bow ties, white fancy collars and black top hats. After that, Ms. Mimi shouts, "Stoooooopendous! You're all going to become great stars!" Then the class realizes that Ms. Mimi is dressed as a film director and the students pick out other costumes like a bumblebee costume. They perform the baby bumblebee song with Mary as the bumblebee and A.Z. trying to swat her. Then they do the catwalk dance with Angelina and Alice dressed up as follies and singing "All That Jazz."

After that, A.Z. steps up on a big, tall stool and the students tell him to be careful not to fall down or hurt himself because it’s too dangerous. But A.Z. says he’s pretending to be Humpty Dumpty. Ms. Mimi asks A.Z. if he would like to meet the real Humpty Dumpty. He agrees and comes down. While they recite the nursery rhyme “Humpty Dumpty,” a silver round metal head with long straight eyes, small ears and a big open mouth with black inside appeared on the stool. The head falls off the stool and now has big wide eyes, wrinkles on its forehead and cheeks, and sharp jaws. A bunch of tin soldiers come to the head and put a bandage on it, then the head winks one eye. After “Humpty Dumpty,” Viki and A.Z. see a grandfather clock by the wall and she says “That grandfather clock reminds me of another nursery rhyme. It’s “Hickory Dickory Dock!”” So they all sing “Hickory Dickory Dock” while a toy mouse climbs up the clock. But when the clock strikes one, the mouse slides down. After that, Angelina and Alice ask Ms. Mimi if they can do another rhyme called “Pussycat, Pussycat.” Ms. Mimi agrees. She gives Mary a headband with cat ears, neckerchief and tail. Ms. Mimi gives Gracie a crown and cape while Marco sits at the piano. Then the students recite the nursery rhyme with Mary as the pussy cat, just like Poppy Cat from one of her favorite bedtime storybooks and Gracie as the Queen. After the rhyme, Gracie says, “That was awesome!” Ms. Mimi asks Gracie and Mary if they know any more nursery rhymes. Mary asks, “How about “This Little Piggy?”” Ms. Mimi shows the class a big painting of a marketplace, tells them to look at the picture carefully and say the rhyme. While the students recite “This Little Piggy,” Ms. Mimi puts magnets on the picture of each piggy. When it gets to “This little piggy had none,” Ms. Mimi takes the four pigs off the picture. On the last part of the rhyme, one piggy bounces up and down out of sight. Then Marco asks how Ms. Mimi did that. Ms. Mimi tells him “It’s magic, isn’t it?” Mary says, “It sure is, Ms. Mimi!” and asks Ms. Mimi if she and her friends can still put on a big Hoop-Dee-Doo!birthday show for her dad. Ms. Mimi says “Sure, you can.” Then Ms. Mimi tells the class, it is time to go to the library. They follow Ms. Mimi to the library at the Lincoln Center to pick out lots of books to read. Angelina and Alice pick out books of fairy tales, Marco and Gracie look at books about fantasy and adventure, Viki and A.Z. choose books about mystery and suspense, Martha and Dodger pick books about dogs and cats, Jeanie picks out a book about plants and animals, Mary picks out a book about music and dance, Carlo picks out books about games and sports, Dave and Paul pick out books about how to cook, make and do, and Rudolf picks out books about science and history of the world. While they are reading books, Angelina and Alice sing "Our Library Song."

After the song, Angelina, Alice, Mary and the whole class look up through all kinds of tempo and dynamics in the dictionary. First, Alice and Angelina look up allegro. Martha says it means “fast.” Gracie tap dances really fast. Dodger tells her to stop, but she did. Next, they look up largo. Martha tells them it means “slow.” Angelina dances ballet really slow. Allegro and largo are types of tempo through music. Then they learn about dynamics. They look up “fortissimo” meaning “super-duper loud.” Viki sings “tra-la-la-la-la” really loud, but Ms. Mimi whispers “Shhh.” and tells her to be quiet. Last they look up “pianissimo,” meaning “really, really soft.” Angelina sings “doo, doo, doo, doo, doo” really quietly, and Ms. Mimi applauds her. Because fortissimo and pianissimo are dynamics through music. Martha remembers that loud, soft, fast and slow are all opposites you know. At the end of the day, it is time to go back to their apartments. Martha and Dodger have a romantic dinner of spaghetti and meatballs like they did in the old movie “Lady and the Tramp.” At dinner, Mary’s mother, Maureen (Katherine Heigl), talks to Polly and Mr. and Mrs. Mouseling, and even Mary's younger brothers, Ryan (Jacob Tremblay) and Bobby (Robert Brooks), about the ''Hoop-Dee-Doo! ''show rehearsal. After dinner, Mary, along with Ryan and Bobby, ask their mother when her father, Rupert, is going to come back. She tells them that her dad should be home on Saturday. Mary wishes that she could play her violin in the show while her brothers sit in the audience. She really wants to surprise her dad by playing songs or even a solo. Maureen agrees. Mary hopes that her father will be surprised. The next morning during rehearsal, the class practice tap dancing. Then they recite a new made-up nursery rhyme by Dave, “Knicky Knacky Knocky Knoo” with Dave dressed up as a pirate. During the rhyme, they move a different body part for every verse. Marco finds a shiny silver triangle on the piano and plays it. The triangle reminds Gracie of another nursery rhyme “Frère Jacques” from Paris, France. Before they sing the rhyme, they learn what the words mean in French. Ms. Mimi lays down an old quilt from when Mary was born in Tulsa and puts a big comfy pillow on the floor. Mary lays down on the floor and covers herself up to sleep while the mouselings perform “Frère Jacques” in a round with Marco playing the piano and Viki playing the triangle. Later, Dave starts writing songs and playing his piano. He is a singer-songwriter. He sits at the piano and thinks of a song he could write about friendships and relationships, and not losing them. Marco comes and decides to teach Dave how to do the music and lyrics. Dave begins writing while he is practicing. Angelina and Alice tell Mary that they can watch Marco while he helps Dave. When Dave is finished practicing, Marco congratulates Dave on writing a song. Dave thanks Marco for helping him. Dave wants to play it for everyone after lunch. Marco agrees and tells Dave he will introduce him. Once everyone in the cafeteria was settled, Marco introduces Dave and the song he wrote. The mouselings applaud for him. Then Dave sings and plays the song with a barbershop quartet providing backing vocals off-screen. "I'll Never Lose You Again ('Cause I Believe in You)."

The school bell rings. It is time to clean up. The class will then go with Ms. Mimi to rehearsal. Meanwhile, Meowcent and her crew were looking at her crystal ball, she thinks they must defeat Marie and make her into a sculpture. They sing "We’re Hungry!"

Back at the fair, everyone practices dancing and singing for the show. After that, Ms. Mimi tells them, "You need to get really busy and finish getting everything ready because Mary's daddy, Rupert, is going to be here any minute. Now I want you to go and take a look at the surprise they made for you at the Broadway Theatre." Then everyone takes a look at the surprise they made for them at the Broadway Theatre and sing “A Surprise at the Theatre.”

Then the three cats come to New York and they want to fight Mary and get rid of the mouselings. She is chased by the cats and she defeats them by splashing cement onto Meowcent, Jinkquade and Aldoof and they were made into statues at the museum by another cat: a feisty, happy-go-lucky and cheerful young ginger tabby kitten who wears a colorful neckerchief named Poppy Cat (voiced by Charles who played Mary).

Then everyone comes back and cheers for Mary and Mr. Mouseling gets her a shiny brand-new golden violin and bow as a present. That evening, everyone picks out fancy clothes for Mr. Calhoun's Hoop-Dee-Doo! birthday show. Then they get their costumes and things together, pay tickets, catch a bus and take them to the fair's theater.

That night, from backstage, Mary, Angelina, Alice, Marco, Gracie, Viki, A.Z., Ms. Mimi, Jeanie, Carlo, Rudolf, Dave and Paul hear the crowd in the theater. Martha and Dodger in their top hats and bow ties tell Mary, Angelina and Alice they're going to put on a great show with their friends while the two watch them from backstage. When Mary’s dad arrives at the theater, everyone shouts "SURPRISE!!!" He's so surprised, it's his special birthday, so they didn't forget it. Mrs. Calhoun gives Mr. Calhoun a big welcome-home hug and introduces to one of the most newest musical Rupert Calhoun productions of all time, Hoop-Dee-Doo! So Mary, Angelina, Alice, Marco, Gracie, Viki, A.Z., Ms. Mimi, Carlo, Jeanie, Rudolf, Dave and Paul come up onstage and they perform "Welcome to our Big Show".

Everyone in the crowd applauds for the mouselings. Everyone exits the stage except Mary, since she was playing her violin for the next song. Ms. Mimi walks up to the microphone and introduces the first act, “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” by Viki and A.Z. She exits the stage while the crowd cheers for the two. Viki and A.Z. are dressed up as train engineers. Martha and Dodger think they look fancy in their railroad worker costumes. The two mouselings enter the stage by marching up and bowing to each other over and over again. Viki and A.Z. sing and tap dance to the song. The song increases tempo from largo to allegro that Martha defined, which means slow to fast. When they get to the second “strumming on the old banjo” part, they sing the first verse again with the ending tag, “Dinah blow your horn!” Then they tap dance really fast. The crowd applauds for them. After the first act, Ms. Mimi returns to introduce the next act, “What Will You Be (When You Grow Up?).” The song will be performed by Angelina, Alice and Mary. Martha and Dodger can’t wait to see the girls perform. Angelina and Alice get up on stage and sing a song about what they want to be when they grow up and the jobs they do in their community ("What Will You Be (When You Grow Up?)"). In the song, Angelina and Alice wear different costumes and do different jobs.

They perform all the songs they did in the studio one by one, and then they did "Sharing and Caring" and "Sharing and Caring" and make their spectacular show a big reality while Mr. and Mrs. Mouseling, Polly, Ryan, Bobby, Mrs. Thimble and Mr. and Mrs. Calhoun sit in the audience, Martha and Dodger watch them from backstage and Mary plays her new violin. Their last act is "Three Blind Mice" by Marco and Gracie with Alice on the tuba.

Afterwards, Mrs. Calhoun, bring out a big delicious, rich chocolate cake with candles on top and everyone sings "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and Mr. Calhoun blows out all the candles. Then Angelina says, "That was fun!" Alice says, "How about an encore?" Mary says, "Yes!" So they all get back onstage and do an encore of "Happy Ending" with Mr. Calhoun before they have dinner, snacks and desserts. Martha and Dodger kiss and fall in love. How romantic! Then Angelina giggles says good-bye and gives a wink and a smile before the credits roll.
