Madeline TV Specials Collection

In a Parisian girls school, our perky, popular heroine charms her eleven classmates with funny pranks and youthful wit. But when Madeline needs her appendix out, it's she who needs charm and humor for a speedy recovery.

Snow! Santa! And holidays galore! From Ludwig Bemelmans' best-selling children's books comes little Madeline and her wintery adventures with her dog Genevieve, her loyal friends from Miss Clavel's class, and next-door neighbor Pepito! Includes: Madeline's Winter Vacation, Madeline and Santa, Madeline at the North Pole, Madeline's Holiday with Mr. Grump, and Madeline and the Ice Skates.

As we know well by now, no one knows better how to frighten Miss Clavel than Madeline. But this time, in the process of clowning around, she almost dies except for the intersession of a very charming dog. This dog, named Miss Genevieve, becomes the hero of the day, taking up residence at the school much to the school trustees' chagrin. Of course, by then, the girls are totally attached to her and there's much sadness when she's forced to leave. But not for long, for soon Miss Genevieve returns with puppies enough to go around.

"Poor Miss Clavel, how would she feel if she knew that on top of the ferris wheel, in weather that turned from bad to rotten, Pepito and Madeline had been forgotten?" Luckily, the Strong Man, the Clown and the elephant rescue Madeline and Pepito, and the adventurous pair join the gypsy circus!
