Plot
On a sunny summer afternoon, a little girl named Lucy (Kelsey White) is playing catch with her next door neighbors Jenny (Danica Lee) and Nick (Brendan Thomas). Then the children played hide and seek. Then it was time for Lucy to go home, so she says good-bye to them and went home.

When Lucy gets home, she greets her mom (Jennifer Garner), and tells her she had a great playdate with Jenny and Nick. Lucy decides to go to Chipping Cheddar for a special birthday party with her friends, and she wanted to take a lunch, and her favorite toys, just like her friends next door she played with today.

Then Lucy goes into her bedroom to look for her favorite stuffed mice, Angelina Mouseling (voiced by Charlotte Spencer) and her best friend, Alice Nimbletoes (voiced by Naomi McDonald). When she finds them on the bed, she throws magic dust on Angelina and Alice and they come to life with a giggle and greet her. Then Angelina sings "I Will Be a Star."

When Angelina, Alice and Lucy are packing up for their trip to Chipping Cheddar, her mom gives Lucy a sack lunch and puts it in her backpack. Then Lucy, Angelina and Alice hold hands and walk in a circle and say the magic words.

When the three get to Chipping Cheddar, the Wicked Witch of Chipping Cheddar (Kathy Jo Barrett) was in her tall castle looking at her crystal ball. First, the three go to the sweets shop and get ice cream from Mrs. Thimble (voiced by Beverly Klein). Then they go to Camembert Academy and meet Marco (voiced by Jules de Jongh), Gracie (voiced by Jo Wyatt), Viki (voiced by Hilary Duff) and A.Z. (voiced by Justin Bieber) and they sing "We're Best Friends."

When they were finished, they hear the Wicked Witch's cackle and all of a sudden they see nothing. When they go into the dance studio, they greet their teacher, Ms. Mimi (voiced by Judith Mason) and they welcome their new student, Lucy. Then they do all kinds of dances. During tap dancing, Lucy, Angelina and Alice sing "A Step at a Time."

When they get to the Mouselings' home, they meet Angelina's four-year-old sister, Polly Mouseling (voiced by Leah Zabari), Angelina's mother, Matilda (voiced by Emily Blunt), and Angelina's father, Maurice (voiced by James McAvoy). Then they show Polly Angelina's attic converted into a dance studio and they teach her ballet lessons during the song, "One, Two, Three, Four, Five." Then Mr. and Mrs. Mouseling applaud the girls and Gracie and Viki arrive at their house for a sleepover.

Later that night, Lucy, Angelina, Alice, Gracie, Viki, Polly, Mr. Mouseling and Mrs. Mouseling have dinner and talk about the things they do in Chipping Cheddar. After dinner, the girls get ready for bed and sing "Angelina's Slumber Party (Dancing in the Moonlight)." When the girls are asleep, the Wicked Witch looks in the window and tiptoes to her castle.

The next morning, the girls get ready for school, grab their bags and lunches and meet Marco and A.Z. at Camembert Academy. At class time, Ms. Mimi tells the students what they want to be when they grow up. The students sing "Using Our Imaginations (We Can Be Anything)."

Next they talk about expressing ourselves with music and dance and sing "Express Ourselves."

Ms. Mimi leads the class to the Lunchtime Theatre when it was time for lunch. They take out their lunches and Marco shares pretzels with Viki. He'll be careful not to make a mess. Angelina tells Lucy she wishes the best for you and sings "The Best For You."

After school, Lucy says good-bye to Angelina and Alice and runs to the castle and sees the Wicked Witch. The Wicked Witch tells her a story about her life of becoming a witch. The mouselings run away when Lucy and the Witch arrive in Chipping Cheddar. The storm rages and Lucy and the Witch are fighting throughout Chipping Cheddar. Then Lucy creeps up to the Witch and throws the dust on the Witch and turns her into a harmless doll. The storm clears and all the mouselings come back to Chipping Cheddar and congratulates her for getting rid of the Wicked Witch.

That night, at Lucy's party, Angelina, Alice, Marco, Gracie, Viki and A.Z. sing a birthday song "We Love You" to Lucy. Then Lucy blows out all the candles and she and the mouselings have dinner. After dinner, they have a dance party. They dance to Angelina's song, "The Mouseling Twirl," Bobby Freeman's "C'mon & Swim," Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," and Martha & the Vandellas' "Dancing in the Street."

The next morning, Lucy, Angelina and Alice pack up for home, hold hands in a circle and say the magic words.

When the three get back to Lucy's room, Lucy thanks Angelina and Alice for taking her to Chipping Cheddar. Angelina and Alice agree if Lucy will come back to Chipping Cheddar and visit them sometimes. So Lucy tearfully bids them farewell and watches them sit on the bed and turn back into dolls.

When her mom was cooking dinner, Lucy tells her she went to Chipping Cheddar with Angelina and Alice and defeated the Wicked Witch and had a party for her. Later after dinner, her mom gives Lucy her dolls, Angelina and Alice, and tucks her in, kisses her good night and turns out the light. When Lucy was dreaming, Lucy, Angelina, Alice, Marco, Gracie, Viki, A.Z., Ms. Mimi, Mr. Mouseling, Mrs. Mouseling, Polly Mouseling and Mrs. Thimble dance as Angelina sings her ending song "Dreams Do Come True."
