Plot
In 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 young 5-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 he tells her to put on a surprise musical show for him at the New York World's Fair called Hoop-Dee-Doo! He gave 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, "Let’s Put on 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 "The World’s Fair." 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 For Dinner?” and go to bed while Angelina and Alice sing "Use Your Imagination.”

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 "Rehearsal (Part 1)" and play games on “Let’s Play Games!” 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 finds lots of fancy clothes and costumes. They do the catwalk dance with Angelina and Alice dressed up as follies and singing “The Catwalk” and "All That Jazz." Then they recite nursery rhymes, use their imaginations, make-believe and pretend to be anything in stories during the song, "Pretend and Make-Believe" performed by Angelina and Alice. During lunch at the diner, Dave sits at the piano and performs "I Believe in You."

Meanwhile, Meowcent and her crew was 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 Dodger. During the song, “A Frightening Thing,” 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 while they sing "To the Fair."

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.
