"In an old house in Paris, that was covered with vines, lived 12 little girls in two straight lines. They left the house at half past 9:00 in two straight lines, in rain or shine. And the smallest one was Madeline." Based on the children's book series by Ludwig Bemelheims. This movie could be animated and by Illumination Studios. This movie could show when Madeline first came to the home for little girls. Even though she's smaller than all the other girls, this 9-year-old troublemaker is not afraid of anything. Not mice. And to the tiger in the zoo, Madeline just said, "Pooh-pooh!" When Madeline is submitted into the hospital with appendicitis, the other girls find their life is not the same without her, even though they felt like they deserved a break from her pranks. Meanwhile, Miss Clavel, the nun in charge of the girls, finds out the truth about Madeline's heritage. Apparently, Madeline's lost parents are famous aristocrats. While she's still in the hospital waiting for her scar to heal, Madeline overhears Miss Clavel and the doctor talking about her family's missing fortune. After checking out, Madeline asks the other girls, and Pepito (the obnoxious son of the Spanish ambassador) to join her on an adventure to find "treasure" and find out what happened to her parents.
