CreativityTranscript
00:00Une fois à l'époque, il n'y a pas longtemps, il y avait une petite fille qui s'appelait Emily.
00:24Et elle avait un magasin.
00:32Voilà.
00:35C'était plutôt un magasin inhabituel, parce qu'il ne vendait rien.
00:39Vous voyez, tout dans ce magasin était quelque chose que quelqu'un avait perdu,
00:44et qu'Emily avait trouvé, et qui l'avait emporté chez Bagpuss.
00:48Emily's cat Bagpuss.
00:51The most important, the most beautiful, the most magical,
01:01saggy old cloth cat in the whole wide world.
01:11Well now, one day Emily found a thing.
01:16And she brought it back to the shop, and put it down in front of Bagpuss,
01:20who was in the shop window, fast asleep as usual.
01:23But then Emily said some magic words.
01:26Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss, old fat furry catpuss,
01:30wake up and look at this thing that I bring.
01:33Wake up, be bright, be golden and light.
01:36Bagpuss, oh hear what I sing.
01:45Oh.
01:48And Bagpuss was wide awake.
01:51And when Bagpuss wakes up, all his friends wake up too.
01:54The mice on the mouse organ woke up and stretched.
02:01Madeleine the rag doll.
02:05Gabriel the toad.
02:07Oh look, look.
02:10And last of all, Professor Yaffle,
02:12who is a very distinguished old woodpecker.
02:15He climbed down off his bookend and went to see what it was that Emily had brought.
02:33Well, it's quite obvious what that is.
02:38That is one dirty old shoe without any laces.
02:42Whatever is the use of one shoe?
02:45You couldn't wear it, you'd have to hop everywhere.
02:48You can't do anything with it.
02:50Oh yes you can, you can do something with it.
02:53Old shoes are good shoes.
02:55Oh yes, yes.
02:57Well, what can you do with an old shoe?
02:59You can live in it.
03:01Live in it?
03:02Yes, of course.
03:03There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
03:05Come on mice, have you got a roll of music for your mouse organ?
03:12The marvellous mechanical mouse organ.
03:22There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
03:30She had so many children she didn't know what to do.
03:38She gave them some bread without any bread.
03:42And she whipped them up soundly and sent them to bed.
03:47Is that all?
03:49You see?
03:50You can live in a shoe.
03:51You can live in a shoe.
03:52You can live in a shoe.
03:53You can, you can, you can.
03:55Oh, fiddlesticks and flapdoodle.
03:57That old woman lived in a great big boot.
03:59How many people could live in a little pink shoe like that?
04:07Oh, very well.
04:09One.
04:10Two.
04:11Three.
04:13Four.
04:16Five.
04:17Six.
04:19Seven.
04:22Eight.
04:25Nine.
04:29Ten, eleven, twelve.
04:33Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen.
04:35Oh, stop, stop, stop, stop.
04:37This is getting very silly.
04:39Too silly.
04:40I will not have anything more to do with you until you are properly serious.
04:46Oh, well, it doesn't look a very serious sort of shoe to me.
04:51I'm sure there are lots of things one can use one shoe for.
04:55Lots of things.
04:58If I can think of any.
05:00I can think of one.
05:02Oh, can you, Charlie Mouse?
05:04Well, you tell me what you think and I'll think too.
05:07I would like to sail it.
05:09Sail it?
05:10Yes.
05:11Sail it like a boat.
05:13Sail it down the stream.
05:15Oh.
05:16Sail it.
05:17Sail a boat, a boat.
05:19Let's make some sails.
05:20Come on.
05:21Catch the paddle.
05:22Yes.
05:23Look.
05:24These will do.
05:25Look.
05:26Feathers for oars.
05:27Yes.
05:28Fix them in these holes.
05:29Yes.
05:30That's good.
05:31Yes.
05:32All aboard.
05:35Are you ready, Gabriel?
05:36Yes.
05:37I'm ready.
05:41Row, row, row the boat gently down the stream.
05:46Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily.
05:48Life is but a dream.
05:51I dreamed a dream of two fine mouses.
05:54Tall they were and true.
05:56They lived in one of your stately houses.
05:59In jackets of blue and braided trousers.
06:03And happy, as happy as ever a mouse is.
06:07Though there were only two, were two.
06:09Though there were only two.
06:11Row, row, row the boat gently down the stream.
06:16Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily.
06:18Life is but a dream.
06:20But one mouse said, let's leave these shores.
06:23Let's sail away, dear, please.
06:25This shoe will do if we hold the oars.
06:28And row it along with our delicate paws.
06:32We'll row it across the mahogany floors.
06:36Till we find the stilt and cheese.
06:38The cheese.
06:39Till we find the stilt and cheese.
06:41Row, row, row the boat softly on the floor.
06:45Slippery, sloppily, slickily, sloppily.
06:47Who could ask for more?
06:49They rowed and they rowed without a care.
06:52But didn't look where they went.
06:54Well, you may ask how you would fare.
06:57Travelling backwards without a care.
07:00When you suddenly came to the top of the stair.
07:04Well, over the stairs they went, they went.
07:06Over the stairs they went.
07:08Bing, bang, bong, gong, bop.
07:11Heavily down the stairs.
07:13Bingoty, bangoty, bongoty, boppity.
07:15Down the apples and pears.
07:17They picked them up from their awful fall.
07:20And dusted off their knees.
07:22Then down the hall by the kitchen wall.
07:25They rowed and you could hear them call.
07:29Or you could if they hadn't been quite so small.
07:33Where is that stilt and cheese?
07:35That cheese, where is that lovely cheese?
07:37Row, row, row the boat over the kitchen floor.
07:42We're running into the tunnel under the mother door.
07:46They searched the dishes and tried to spot them.
07:49Find me a nice bit please.
07:51T'was slippery there but they had forgotten.
07:54They tripped and slipped in something rotten.
07:57And covered themselves from top to bottom.
08:01With stinking stilt and cheese.
08:03With cheese revolting stilt and cheese.
08:05Boat, boat, closer boat.
08:07What a dreadful pong.
08:09Stickily, sparkly, gliggly, ockily.
08:11What a smelly song.
08:14The mice decided they needed a wash.
08:17They smelt a bit, it's true.
08:19They filled the basin with orange squash.
08:22And jumped right in with a splish and a splosh.
08:26To wash and polish until they were posh.
08:29And sticky and pretty as new, as new.
08:32Stickily pretty as new.
08:34Row, row, row the boat.
08:36Sticky with orange squash.
08:38Lickily, stickily, gliggly, gummily.
08:40What a lot of bosh.
08:45You're quite right there.
08:47What a lot of bosh indeed.
08:49I've never heard such rubbish.
08:51I've never heard such a smelly, sticky song.
08:54That song can't possibly have done any good at all to that poor shoe.
08:59That's a good song.
09:01Yes, mice like that song.
09:03It's a wash song.
09:06Ridiculous, go away.
09:08Fiddlesticks and Flapdoodle.
09:10Stop quarrelling at once.
09:12I'm sure it's a lovely song if you happen to like that sort of thing.
09:15But Yaffle is quite right.
09:17We should be looking after the shoe.
09:19Not singing songs and playing about.
09:22It's time for working now, not for singing.
09:25Now, mice, if you look in my work box,
09:27you will find some fine satin ribbon for laces
09:30and some glittery sequins to stick on the shoe to make it look pretty.
09:34Oh, yes, and some of you must brush it and clean it carefully.
09:37All right.
09:39Well, what are you all standing there for?
09:42Mice like to sing.
09:44Mice not sing.
09:46Mice not work.
09:48Mice strike.
09:50Oh, indeed.
09:51Oh, all right, mice.
09:53You can sing as long as you work as well.
09:55We will lace it.
09:56We will graze it.
09:57We will glitter it prettily pink.
09:59We will gunge it.
10:00Then we'll sponge it.
10:02We will bring it up soft as mink.
10:04We will smooth it.
10:05We will improve it.
10:06We will plush it.
10:07Pink, pink, pink.
10:08We will hush it.
10:09Love it.
10:10Blush it.
10:11That is better now.
10:12Don't you think?
10:13That is better now.
10:14Don't you think?
10:15Oh, yes, that is much better.
10:17Much, much better.
10:19Look, everybody.
10:20A beautiful ballet shoe fit for a prima ballerina.
10:24What?
10:25What is a prima ballerina?
10:29Don't you know that?
10:32Presnel?
10:35Why, Yaffle, I thought you knew everything!
10:39Well, not everything.
10:41Not quite everything.
10:43A prima ballerina is a ballet dancer.
10:46The chief ballet dancer.
10:48The most important dancer of all, who dances all by herself.
10:51No, no, no.
10:53No, you must listen!
10:54Thieve! Thieve! Thieve! Thieve!
10:58The marvellous, mechanical
11:00Prima ballerina!
11:02Nyap, nyap, nyap, nyooop, nyap, nyap, nyap...
11:29How charming! Charming! Oh, quite charming! Oh, delightful!
11:34Oh, I am moved! What a delightful young lady!
11:38Oh, Mice! Mice, dear Mice! Do please wind her up and play her again!
11:44Oh, oh, dear, I am a bit tied up!
12:04Be careful! Oh, Mice, Mice! Unwind that foolish woodpecker and put the shoe in the window!
12:10Nyap, nyap, nyap, nyap, nyap...
12:13So the Mice pulled the shoe to the front of the window and left it there.
12:17So that if a Prima ballerina should happen to come past, she would see it and come in to collect it.
12:23Oh!
12:27Bagpuss gave a big yawn and settled down to sleep.
12:32And of course when Bagpuss goes to sleep, all his friends go to sleep too.
12:37The Mice were ornaments on the mouse organ.
12:40Gabriel and Madeleine were just dolls.
12:43And Professor Yaffle was a carved wooden bookend in the shape of a woodpecker.
12:47Even Bagpuss himself, once he was asleep, was just an old, saggy, cloth cat.
12:52Baggy and a bit loose at the seams.
12:55But Emily loved him.
